The 3-bedroom villa was in a great location and super comfortable and cozy. It's short one start because we couldn't make coffee. There were no filters for the regular coffee pot, and they didn't provide pods for the Keurig.

The villa was very nice and well-equipped, with a spectacular view of the ocean. The Kitchen could use some additional cooking items for true cooking, and the handle on the outside screen door was broken, but otherwise everything was well done, and as advertised.

The beach is superb. The golf courses are very good but terribly expensive hence a bad rating for The Ocean Course. The transport system works well enough but the Convenience Store is not a quality outlet.
