3 bed/3 bath multi-level villa on South Forest Beach, steps from the ocean

We have stayed in a couple of condos in this complex, and this one is my favorite. From the location to the pool, to the clean environment, to the furniture that fits the unit well, we very much enjoyed our stay. The only drawback, at no fault of the condo owner, is the mosquitos. We definitely needed bug spray to sit out on the balcony. Otherwise, no complaints.

The unit is beautiful. The kitchen is fully stocked with modern appliances including a French door refrigerator freezer. The unit includes extra features such as cleaning supplies, beach chairs and floats, games, books, and DVDs. The deck remains shaded all day due to the gorgeous Live Oak tree outside. The downstairs patio has an outdoor table with umbrella for outdoor evening meals. The only drawback to this unit is the mattresses. The master bedroom mattress is extra extra firm, almost hard as a rock. The queen bed in the upstairs bedroom is also very firm. If you prefer a softer mattress, bring a pillow topper with you.

This villa was amazing. Kudos to the cleaning company as I have never stayed in such a clean rental! I was almost afraid to cook in the spotless kitchen (how did the get the oven so clean?. The kitchen was well stocked also. I always pack extra towels but I will have to say that they gave each guest one wash cloth, one hand towel and two bath towels which was great. They also put a little baggie in the kitchen and each bathroom with some soaps and toiletries which would be great if you forgot to pack some and didn't want to run to the store on move-in day (they also provide several rolls of TP and a small roll of papertowel). We usually stay in Palmetto Dunes but as our number of attendees decreased and we didn't need a big house, we quickly realized that the beach access from their villas was becoming painful. This villa is just steps from the beach. It is in a gated community with 30 units, so the pool was never packed and the beach was within steps. We actually rented an umbrella and two chairs for the week which was great. The life guard set it up every morning and took it down every night. This is now our family's favorite villa. We walked to Coligny Village for dinner, ice cream and shopping. The drive was very close as well and when we did drive, parking was not an issue (we probably got lucky). We were also close to many of our favorite restaurants and activities. The only thing my family missed was riding bikes throughout the Dunes neighborhood. The bike/walking path on the main road was across the street from the villa. Traffic on the road was very busy and crossing was challenging as there was no crosswalk. We had a great stay and will definitely rent this villa again.

We love staying at this Beach house, it’s spacious, clean and comfortable, and is in the perfect location. We love taking morning walks on the beach, walking to Coligny, biking and eating out. Looking forward to coming back back in May with kids and grandkids!I
