Clean and close to Duval Street
Pros:

I really loved how close we were to everything. We pretty much walked everywhere which was nice.
The breakfast was also a pretty decent variety. Very clean and not noisy.

Cons:

I do wish we had more room for our clothes. My boyfriend and I made it work but we just lived out of our suitcases for the most part. I will also say the pictures make the room look a bit bigger than they are as well but overall those are minor things and I would stay here again

Enjoyable stay and look forward to coming back!
Pros:

The location is exceptional! The staff was so friendly and so accommodating. The room was spacious and clean. The property was well taken care of.

Cons:

The ice maker was broken for a majority of our stay and our room location was directly off the pool offering little privacy. It was also louder in the morning due to being right next to the kitchen as well.

Good location, but villa was quite small and expensive.
Pros:

The outdoor area of the property was nice and relaxing. The breakfast was decent (European style).

Cons:

The villa itself was quite small and the bathroom was very cramped. We got this villa based on location, but still walked 3-4 miles each day. Not sure the relatively high cost was worth it.
