80th Birthday

This villa was beautiful. Walk in the front door and you are met with the best view of the ocean. We had 14 people total and everyone slept comfortably. The living area was a little cramped when we were all inside eating and on a rainy day. I cooked every meal except one while we were there. The kitchen is well stocked with every kitchen gadget you can imagine. Two problems we had was this villa is listed as handicap accessible, but I could not get my mom's wheelchair into the villa. After a 7 hour trip driving down she was ready to relax, but couldn't because I had to go buy something to use as a ramp to get her inside. The other problem was parking. Only 2 spots to park for this villa that holds 16 people! We had 5 vehicles. 3 vehicles had to park 1/2 mile away. We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday while we were their and she loved the icean air that came thru the patio sliding doors.
