This is our second stay at the villa, we stayed about 11 years ago. This superbly located villa that sleeps 8 is could not be closer to the beach path and stairs over the dune. It's exceptionally easy and pleasant for my 91 y.o. mother and our married children and infant. The ocean views from inside the villa are spectacular. The replaced outdoor shower is newer and very nice, but it was set lower on the wall for shorter people. The kitchen appliances are very nice, recently replaced, lovely. We cooked every breakfast, every lunch and three dinners. The kitchen operated well despite being extremely dated, there were plenty of dishes. The white wrapped kitchen cabinets are old, peeling/damaged and need replacement, but they still worked fine. The kitchen lighting was poor with one old spot light and ceiling light (no under-cabinet lighting) making it difficult to prepare drinks or snacks after dusk- The kitchen needs a renovation. All the beds had nice comfortable newer mattresses with mattress pads (YAY!) (no pillow protectors (boo!) and the DeBordieu luxury cotton sheets/towels were great as were the lovely villa-provided bed coverlets. However, there is no indication that the coverlets are washed after each renter. I washed every coverlet upon arrival to assure cleanliness between renters. Some of the closet-stored pillows need discarding for mildew. With these great positives, the villa desperately needs some adjustments, some are easy and inexpensive to execute today, some require Reno. The living room is large but sadly lacked a large round coffee table that would allow all guests to elevate their feet, or on which to set coffee, drinks, appetizers, books or board game. The two small round gray cocktail stands provided were too small, too few and easily knocked over. We made use of the additional two tiny drink stands, but all of these could not make up for the lack of a good large round 60" coffee table. The entire villa had insufficient lamps- Lamps in the living room or on beside tables all were too few (LR), too short and lacked 100 watt or 3-way bulbs for reading in the evening (or playing a board game on a coffee table!). The old fiberglass bathtub surrounds with 30+ year old glass enclosures were set for pygmies- you have to be under 5'3" to get into shower without hitting head and worse for trying to bathe children in the tub with the limited opening. Better to have tall shower curtain rod with a plain curtain liner and replace as often as necessary when soiled. Better yet, Reno bathroom to allow for 4 bathrooms with the 4 bedrooms as in PPV SEA unit! If the unit sleeps 8, there should always be comfortable seating for 8 in living room and dining room. We do thank you for allowing us to stay in this perfectly located villa with some nicely thought out details but it does need kitchen bathroom Reno.
