Villa Encore

Very good

I organized this trip for 8 friends (ranging from 45 to 78 years old) for my 50th, and it was more about the house than the location. We wanted a pool, comfy beds, and a big enough lanai for all of us to eat. This house was a great fit. It even faced west for beautiful sunsets! Having the grocery store across the street was incredibly convenient too. The house needs a little TLC, specifically that towel hangers kept falling off the walls, drawer pulls came out, and the pool had missing tiles, but the overall vibe was still big and relaxing. The pool is the center of the home, and we were there every day for hours. It's great to have the outdoor kitchen and bathroom there as well, so we didn't have to run in and out of the main house in wet bathing suits. We were surprised at the comfiness of the beds (but not the sofa bed, it was pretty old), and the ample space on the lanai. Overall, the 8 of us had a lovely and luxurious stay!

We had such a great two weeks at Villa Encore. The house was perfect for our big crowd. So convenient to local stores and restaurants. Fun walking the neighborhoods. Lots of great amenities. Would book again!

Great weekend from Thursday-Sunday with my wife and friends to celebrate her. The house was great. Great pool and deck area were we spent most of our time. Location is great if you have boat since it’s right on the canal.neighborhood was quiet and safe. Near the Marina and lots of restaurants close by.

Grandparents stayed with adult children and both teen and pre-teen grandchildren, ten of us in all. Something for everyone. Pool and hot tub in almost constant use. Lots of space, both inside and out. Kayaks, foosball, ping-pong table, all provided. Caught a fish right off the dock. Publix, liquor store, Subway, etc. just a block or so away.

Villa Encore was clean and the beds were comfortable. The guys liked having the dock to fish daily. We saw a manatee a few times which was nice. The pool was clean and refreshing. We did not use the hot tub but it appeared clean and hot. The outside pool area was wonderful for outdoor meals and nighttime card games. We did not use the upstairs bath as the deep tub was difficult to get in and out of to take a shower and we didn't want any accidents. It was a bit unusual to have the other full bathroom outside of the house on the opposite end of the pool area for use by the bedroom closest to the pool. It was a little chilly using it one night but otherwise it was okay. We also did not use the kayaks as their was not an easy access from the dock or yard to put the kayaks in the canal, however, it is nice to have them there if someone has the desire to find a place to use them. The games in the garage were great. The kitchen had everything we needed for the most part. We had one issue and the manager came right to the house to go over our concerns. We also had a question on something and our message was answered quickly. Overall it was a very good stay with our group of friends.

Everything was great. The pool and hot tub were nice and warm. All of the rooms were roomy and nicely set up. Just a short walk to Publix. The Lobster Lady restaurant was great. All and all a great place to stay.

Wonderful property with lots of outside places to hang out. Close proximity to many restaurants and groceries. Will definitely stay again!

Stayed July 7-14 and everything was great. House was clean and spacious. Communication with the owner was excellent and always answered in a timely manner. The fishing dock and tiki hut were so nice to have coffee in the morning and end the day with beautiful sunsets. The sun setting over the canal and pool was probably my favorite thing about this house. It was also in a perfect location. Close to stores, restaurants and beaches. Would stay here again.

It was hard to sleep the first night, because it was extremely hot in the house. I think the tenant was able to do something remotely, because the rest of the nights were much better. Also, if you use the propane on the grill there's a note that says if you don't refill it tank there is a $40 charge. The grill does not work well because it took forever to cook come some hamburgers and hot dogs. The house was clean, bedding was nice, The kayaks were fun to use. Loved the pool! Great value!
