This is a review of the villa - NOT the beautiful beach or lovely resort community. There are expectations when booking a VRBO that is at the high end of the daily rate for an area. This villa did not impress. Basic items were missing - no dish rack, ovenware, ice cube trays or basic supplies. The kitchen utensils were the plastic dollar store variety. The flatware was a hodgepodge of castoffs. There were only a couple knives that were in poor shape and did not look clean. There wasn't even a full set of dishes in a villa that SHOULD be equipped for 4. It wasn't the few live cockroaches as much as the long dead one under the sink that was covered in bugs. There was no hot water in the kitchen sink. We had to boil water to do dishes. I spoke with Ivan about the lack of supplies and had to ask for a garbage bag and some salt. There was no first aid kit, foil, plastic wrap, spices of any kind - basic stuff that is always in a rental. The grill is not the one in the photo. It was packed full of ash & had no tools. The king bed is so close to the wall that only one person can exit. The other person has to either climb over their partner or crawl to the end of the bed. The nightstand is falling apart. The outdoor patio area is not as it seemed in the photo. The beach chairs are sagging. There is so much unrealized potential here and it could be fabulous with some attention. The complex is a treasure, but keep looking to see what else is available.

Hi, Linda, thank you for taking the time to review our villa. One of our top priorities is to be transparent with our guests. The arrangement of the furniture in the bedroom and patio area are as pictured. We provide adequate cookware/dinnerware and kitchen supplies needed. We encourage guests to shop before arrival because we do not provide pantry items. There are two grills; one as pictured as well as a smaller one. We have not had these issues with prior guests, nevertheless we thank you for brining these issues to our attention and will make improvements where needed.

Long weekend in Treasure Cay
We enjoyed this 2 bedroom villa and the community it is part of. Nice pool, beach access and beach chairs. Friendly community , 5:30 byob cocktails on the observation deck , met many nice people. The cottage was comfy, good beds and clean. They had beach towels as well as bathroom towels . They started us off with the kitchen soap etc . Ivan was very responsive and made check in ( we were early ) very easy. The beach here is FANTASTIC . We will return . Thank you Ivan for our lovely stay at your cottage !

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was super clean, and it was amazing to sit outside and listen to the waves crash. The owner is excellent about any questions we had, and very accommodating. We are building a home in Abaco, and we will be back many times to this condo. Thank you so much!

This villa was steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. It was also close to the pool, cafe, and little store. Everything you need is within walking distance. The villa was spacious and had everything needed to stay comfortably. If I were to suggest anything it would be to have more kitchen towels and a few nicer pillows. We cooked and did dishes daily but others may not, so what is there may suffice. There were several pillows but they were quite flat. We managed just fine and it was not a major issue. Other than those minor things the villa was wonderful. I would highly recommend and I would go again. Ivan was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a great relaxing vacation!

First and foremost, the property and its hosts are wonderful. It is located steps away from some of the most beautiful ocean water I’ve ever seen. The unit was clean and had a reasonable amount of amenities, including cookware, a washer/dryer, a smart TV, and plenty of towels. I think some of the negative reviews are a bit unfair and prospective guests should temper some of their expectations. There were some bugs, but that is to be expected of any tropical climate. The building is a little dated, but is by no means in bad condition. We made good use of the patio, beach chairs, and umbrella that were provided. We truly felt right at home during our stay and would be happy to visit again.

STAY AWAY, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
Place is infested with vermin, roaches, bugs & insects. Various bugs on floors, ceilings & walls, & one mouse around the fridge. We killed a total of 3 roaches among the other bugs. As instructed, we were diligent about never leaving any doors opened, so all bugs were already residing there well before we came. The entire home is in disrepair with cheap, shoddy work done post storm. -Dead roach in a glass pan stored in the cupboards. -Various pots, pans and kitchenware had not been cleaned. -The blender had filth and food stuck all inside of it. Pans were so scratched, teflon coat was peeling. -Sponges were gross, tattered and torn, had to buy our own sponge at minimart where we also had to buy our own salt. Everything had to go in fridge to prevent vermin contamination. -Home smelled of moth balls which seemed to be in place to mask the smell of dead animals. Dead Stench was unbearable when house warmed due to losing power over night. -Second shower had no pressure & was unusable due to clog in drain. We literally had to use a plunger to get the water to drain. -Stained bath towels, looked like blood! -Smelly kitchen towels in drawer, as if used & never washed. And the list goes on... Response from owner was downright shameful, even after photos and video were shared. It didn't occur to us to reach out to VRBO until after our stay. Our bad, Lesson Learned. Save yourself the money, headache & possible illness, & STAY AWAY!!! It's a true health and safety hazard.

We are saddened to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay at our villa. We thought everything was going well after you informed us you had everything covered. We wish you had brought these issues to our attention so that we could address them immediately. Our guests health and comfortability is one of our main priorities and we do not take these issues lightly. We have never had issues with a vermin infestation or a smell. The water pressure drops during a power outage, however returns to full pressure once the power is restored. We thank you for bringing these issues to our attention and will make improvements.

5 Star ⭐️
This beach villa is truly amazing!! I rate it 5 out of 5! Right on a gorgeous beach, ocean is crystal clear and the beach is not crowded at all so if you’re looking for a relaxing stay this is the perfect place to enjoy it! The villa was extremely well cleaned and the host Ivan was beyond helpful, very responsive if any questions at all or anything you need. We can’t wait to return back here and will be happy to continue recommend friends and family about this beautiful place! The villa had great high speed wifi and tv with all channels and Netflix. Fully equipped kitchen with everything needed. BBQ right outside on the terrace, 1min walk you also have a nice pool area. A good tip is to make sure to buy all food, drinks prior to arriving since the convenience store is somewhat limited same with the liquor store very limited selection of wine. It was np at all but we didn’t know we had to bring our own shampoo so that’s also good to know prior arriving. Florence bakery a family owned bakery since 35 yrs just across the street was also amazing highly recommend their cinnamon buns and cheesecake was delicious. Never had the chance to try their food they serve breakfast and lunch but have no doubt it’s most likely great. If you book this villa you def won’t regret it enjoy! :)

Very responsive communication, great condo in a great location. Sad to see all the hurricane damage, but happy to help them come back. The condo was better than expected and Ivan checked in on us. I hope he’s able to get some more properties in this group, even though limited villas meant more privacy for us!

Perfect place for leasure or business
The place was better than advertised. Great location 10 steps to see the ocean(because of a dine) and 50 steps and you are in it. Plenty of room clean, bright and comfortable. If you are a couple looking for a romantic place with a private beach area it's perfect. Or family with children who don't like a crowd it's great. I was there on business and the internet was strong and ample space to work.

Great place and perfect price
We absolutely loved this little house on the beach. Had nice pots and pans, lots of towels with plenty of sheets and blankets. Literal Steps from the beach with its own private entrance. Beds were very comfy and clean which is very important to us. The AC units in each room worked great! Property manager/owner was incredible with great communication and assistance if needed. 2 minute walk to liquor store and other little shops next to the marina. We really did love this place!! The only downside about this house was the first couple nights we had encountered several cockroaches in the kitchen that we killed immediately. We did truly love this dreamy little house on the beach and would definitely come back.

Amazing location on the beach front!
Everything about the Villa was as described. What is difficult to appreciate from the listing, is just how amazing the location is. The private patio area behind the Villa is on the beach front. It is under a large beautiful palm tree and surrounded by plants. The sand here is pure white, incredibly fine, like powder. The view of the turquoise ocean is gorgeous. It's a 5 minute walk to the bakery where you can get a coffee and the most delicious cinnamon roll on the planet!
