Delray Beach, Florida
Romantic, private, secluded and yet a short walk to the pristine beach of Delray and its lively restaurants, boutiques and music, this luxurious 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath villa offers a high quality beach vacation experience. The villa has Italian terrazzo floors throughout. The meticulously maintained, professionally landscaped, tropical garden is completely enclosed by an 8-foot privacy fence creating a feeling of total luxury.
In the front of the villa, Adirondack chairs greet you on the front porch, perfect for morning coffee and reading The New York Times or the Palm Beach Post or watching the moon rise over the trees. Custom lighting showcases the clean white lines of the home, which has never been rented and was renovated in 2012 by a real estate professional who lived in it himself. All of the windows are hurricane rated, impact glass for total soundproofing as well as safety. The only exception to the cushion of quiet is the pitter-patter of raindrops on the cathedral ceiling, making any rainstorm a treat to be savored from the king size bed in the master bedroom or the comfy white, slipcovered sofa in the living room, snuggled in with a good book.
In the living room, along with the white slipcovered sofa, there are two seagrass contemporary chairs to sink into, a new gray weathered wicker chair nestled near the front window to curl up in, and a Samsung flatscreen/Smart TV with premium cable, BluRay and Samsung surround sound to watch Netflix movies or other Internet and cable entertainment. Crowning the living room cathedral ceiling is a contemporary chandelier with elegant polished chrome and clean white silk shades on a dimmer for bright light or softly lit ambience.
The master bedroom offers a king size pillow top luxury mattress and new Paula Deen bed in dark rich finish. Seagrass nightstand and coastal decor remind you that you are waking up at the beach. The master bedroom closet is fully organized and built out for easy access to bed linens and clothes...and speaking of bed linens...satin quilt and high quality sheets make you feel like you are in a five star resort. The second bedroom has a queen size pillow top mattress on a romantic canopy bed with a view of the pool and two matching floor to ceiling closets for bathing suits, shorts and sun dresses for daytime shopping and nighttime dining. The queen canopy bed is outfitted with light all-cotton quilts and luxury sheets to envelop you in comfort.
The bathroom suite is perfectly designed for privacy and functionality with a vanity and toilet adjoining each bedroom, leading into a double-sized shower with custom tile and pebble floor. Bed linens, bath and beach towels are provided to guests.
Relax in the outdoor living area with new South Beach style furniture and 50' Sony flatscreen TV wall mounted for sporting events or movies with premium cable. Gaze out at the 10,000-gallon saltwater pool. Enjoy cocktails for two poolside on the teak table set or entertain friends on the long elegant white table for backyard steaks on the grill among the twinkling lights in the trees and custom outdoor lighting.
Inside, the fully equipped kitchen opens to the outdoor living area and to the indoor living room. The kitchen is South Beach inspired with modern glass cabinets and black granite, with aqua backsplash accented by a modern, contemporary chandelier.

Garland and his wife were amazing! They stopped by several times to assure we had everything we need and made some great recommendations including the French bakery which is a few minutes walk from the house. The property was very comfortable and well outfitted. Everything we needed for a five week stay. Beds were comfortable and Garland arranged for a separate apartment next door when our three college sons visited over Easter. The back yard was quiet with plenty of space to spread out and relay. The pool is amazing.. The location could not be any more convenient. A few blocks from Atlantic Avenue and the Beach. A short walk to the supermarket. We hardly ever had to use our house. Overall, just a perfect experience!
Excellent stay. Very comfortable house, great beds, shower, pool, everything! Host was amazing.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cost Florida cottage. Our host, Garland, is friendly and communicates well insuring all went smoothly during our time. The kitchen is well equipped - I didn't cook much but I saw there is all that's needed to produce a nice meal. The pool is toasty warm and very private. The out door dining area is very nice and adjacent to the pool. The property is close to downtown but quiet and safe. You'll enjoy it.
House and location are perfect!!!
Just returned from 2 glorious weeks at the beautiful Villa Athena. Our stay was just fantastic and only magnified by our gracious hosts, Joy & Garland...who ensured that all of our needs were met. The Villa is fabulous as the pictures don't do it justice. If you ever have a desire and / or opportunity to visit Delray Beach, THIS is the place to stay! From the convenience to shops, restaurants and the beach, you can't do better than the Villa Athena.
My wife and myself booked this home for two weeks in October and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is spotlessly clean with good quality furnishings and kitchen appliances. The pool area is a lovely space to sit at when you return from the beach or to do some barbecuing on an evening. It is a very short walk to Atlantic Avenue where you will find many good restaurants and bars for your evening entertainment. If we ever go back to Delray this would be our home of choice for our vacation.
My husband, my eight month old, and I, along with my sister and her family (husband and two kids) stayed at two of Garland and Joy's properties. Villa Athena and one of the Villa Palm Trail condos. Garland was amazing to work with through the entire process. He answered all of of questions as we planned for the trip and then was more than accommodating the entire time we were there. The condos were beautifully decorated and spotless upon arrival! The pool and backyard in Villa Athena were absolutely perfect for both adults and children. We grilled, relaxed, and enjoyed cocktails around the pool just about all day and night. Because of the awesome condos it was hard to decide between whether we should stay in or go to one of the hundreds of awesome restaurants Delray has to offer. The tv area outside in Villa Athena was also awesome for when someone just needed a break from the sun or pool! We will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!
This is the third place we rented in Delray Beach and we couldn't believe what a great location this house was in. I was able to walk to the beach and back every morning and then take a dip in the pool. The yard was very quiet and relaxing with a beautiful pool. The house itself was neat and clean and updated. If there were any problems Joy and Garland took care of them asap. This is a house we will definitely return to.
We stayed here for just under one month. We were welcomed by Garland who showed us the house and who had thoughtfully bought in some food supplies. Very welcome after a long journey from England. The house is nicely furnished with everything you need. The main bed is extremely comfortable and the linen is wonderfully soft. Beautiful pool and outdoor area with a great outside room where you can relax and watch TV. Garland and Joy were so friendly and on hand to help straight away with any little problem. The house is a lovely street and very convenient, just a 10 minute walk to the middle of Atlantic Avenue and 20 minutes to the beach. We had a pass for 2 chairs and a cabana on the beach, which was great. Great stay. Would recommend.
If your looking for a place right in the heart 9of Delray beach, look no further! I prefer being on the opposite side of the intercoastal bridge opposite beach because you only spend a few hours at the beach so you can walk less than ten min or put in for a free ride on the downtowner (a gold cart seating up 6 or 8 and work off tips only) and taker you anywhere in Delray! And I say I prefer the other side of the bridge because there is more action on that side and that is where you will spend majority of your day and night!!! That's the hot happening area and they are located 3 blocks (less than 5 min walk) from antlantic and turn right and walk for miles and everything and anything to do!!! So that's the area and onto the good part...the villa!!! So many great things to say especially the hospitality of joy and garland!! Such wonderful people and so accommodating. They truly want to make their guests happy to the best of their ability. I booked the brand new apartment next door and then stumbled upon the villa Athena afterward and the we're not quite sure they could swing it and then it looked promising but fell through. When I told then how much we were in love with that one, they worked their magic which I know was a stretch but I know they did it because they wanted us to be happy and comfortable. And glad it worked our because the villa was perfect (although apartments looked great too...we were hoping to have the outdoor TV area for night time relaxing and overlooking the pool and our own private secluded pool) so this villa was just a little more what we had in mind for a nice private oasis! So thank you joy and garland for doing that, we appreciate it. They also made sure to come by and introduce themselves and brought a welcome gift of watermelon and wine, beer sweet and thoughtful...and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and showed us a quick run-through on everything and they were always available for answering any questions. Anything you need is pretty much stocked. Laundry and kitchen stuff (cleaning supplies, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc!) all at your fingertips! House was very well decorated and very homey...joys doing! Family room is cozy from furniture to the decor...just that warm home feeling! Bedrooms perfect! The kitchen was very roomy.the outdoor fully enclosed yard was beautiful! Serene! The pool was like bath water and perfect for my liking! I watched TV every night outside before bed! Thanks again
