This place was ideally located. It was within walking distance to stores, restaurants, music, the beautiful Coligny Beach access with fountains and rocking chairs.
Many places say they are close to the beach, but at this place it really was just a short walk to the ocean.
One thing that was misleading is the picture on the website of the balcony view showing 2 pools. I thought that they were our pools and it was a major reason we chose this villa. But we found out that the 2 pools in the photo are on the property next door. While we did enjoy the small pool at the villa which was nicely maintained, I think it is a misleading photo. The grounds are also beautifully landscaped.
Parking was also a great plus for this location. We have been to HH twice before and seemed to drive around forever looking for a place to park just to go to the beach and then lugging everything for long walk to the beach. The small property with private parking was great and again, it was a very short walk to the beach.
I thought the decor was just OK. It didn't seem to be a two year old full renovation but it was still OK. The master bath is small especially the tiny shower, but the king sized bed was very comfortable.
It would have been nice to have been provided trash bags for the week, along with some beach chairs and umbrellas. We flew in from St. Louis and obviously
could not bring in beach items.
We had a leaky ceiling midweek from the unit above us but the management person had a plumber taking care of it within a couple of hours. We had him fix the plunger in the bathroom sink as long as he was there. It all worked out.
We liked the restaurants Just Pasta, Steamers, and the bakery at Coligny Plaza.
Harbortown was a bust. Not much to do there. But we went to South Beach and got a boat ride to look for dolphins much cheaper there. Lots of activity there.
If location is important to you, this place is ideal.
