“Expect the Very Best!”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

Our first stay at the villas (#5) were the result of the TA reviews and they were right on the mark! The villas are well appointed, convenient to the boardwalk/shopping/cruise ship docks but yet isolated enough to enjoy piece and quiet. This is the type of vacation location where you can do anything and everything you want when it comes... More

We spent 4 miserable days at another place just up the beach from the Villas, and during a walk down the beach we discovered this little gem.
