Overall good experience. It is NOT a detached unit, there is a shared wall in all rooms. More like renting a townhome/condo, can hear some noise much like a hotel room. Downstairs deck is really part of owners deck. Carpet needs replacing and could use updating but clean. I'm a big dog owner, but it smelled strong of dog to me. The only beach walking is during low tide, which for my stay was in the middle of the night. No where to walk to from the unit. To me, "Villa" implies it was a seperate building, as did the pictures.
