If you have the opportunity to stay at this amazing house, I urge you to take it. We came here with friends and family in January for vacation. Everything is just as perfect as it looks on the VRBO site. We came with 7 people and the house was more than large enough for us all. On days when the wind kicked up and the waves were strong on the beach, having the pool available was so, so nice.
The house is the perfect distance from town; close enough for a very quick cab ride and far enough to keep away the hoards that come on the cruise ships. We were only a short walk from Playa Azul, so day trips to some of the best snorkeling in the world were frequent and easy. The security, gated perimeter, and secluded location made us very comfortable from that aspect.
There are hotels with great restaurants close enough to walk, or the full kitchen allows you to chef up your own meal. Filtered water is available for drinking, ice and coffee, never had any trouble in that area in our 12 days on the island. Go to the Lobster House across from Playa Azul for some of the best lobster tail you have ever had, only $28.
I could go on for days about how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Blanca. Tropical paradise, for sure.
Thank you for that experience, we are grateful beyond words.
