All the previous reviews were accurate, and the villa fully met expectations. I spent MLK Weekend here with 7 girlfriends for a big birthday. Everyone fit comfortably in the house, with fun decorations in the living room, a fully stocked kitchen, numerous bedrooms, and a recently completed poolhouse (with another bed and bath). Amazing location -- quiet residential area, CVS across street, Whole Foods few blocks away, walking distance from beach and Lincoln Road, short taxi ride to restaurants and clubs. Only downside was major construction work on the street out front, which began early and ended late.
Jeannette was wonderful -- very responsive to questions, accommodating of requests, and a gracious hostess. Although she was out of town when I arrived, her son and daughter-in-law provided a warm welcome and checked in by text during the weekend to see if we needed anything.
HIghly recommend this lovely house for a fun and relaxing weekend in the heart of South Beach.
