We stayed in this villa 10 years ago, loved it, and decided to give it another try. You can’t beat the location, but will be disappointed if you are looking for easy access to the beach, which is not a priority for us. It is close to the pool, restaurants within Sea Pines, walking/bike paths and a short distance from Harbour Town. The view of the golf course and lagoon is wonderful. Swampy the alligator, as other guests have named him, made daily appearances in the lagoon. The unit is spacious, but we found the redecorating done since our last visit to be bland, boring and not that inviting. There was not a single window covering for privacy on the first floor. The unit is right next to the bridge to the pool and many, many people pass by during the course of the day. You wouldn’t want to be anything but fully dressed at all times! The upgraded granite counters throughout were lovely, but there are a few things that need some attention, especially in the kitchen. The glass on the inside of the microwave door has a hole in it. How one does that, your guess is as good as mine. Support rail in the bottom door of the fridge, where you would put gallons of milk or water, is bashed in and can’t be used for such. We had to purchase a knife sharpener, which we left, because the knives were so dull (really, really dull) it was nearly impossible to cut anything. There were plenty of kitchen essentials, although I’m not sure that salt & pepper should be considered pantry items as listed in amenities. The closet door in the master bath only partially opens because it doesn’t clear the tile floor. As a general impression of the place- it’s beginning to show it’s age and needs some a freshening up. Some of the decorating items were there 10 years ago. Some of the locks on the windows in the living room are damaged and don’t work. We replaced 5 lightbulbs, including the outside and inside entrance. It may sound like I’m nitpicking but, sometimes, the details can leave a guest with a positive or less than positive impression.
