The Zilli Villa is part of the Zilli Collection each with the Zilli touch of amazing view, decor, ( not typical wicker furniture, silly beach artifacts,40 year old flooring, 1 size fits all look.)

Footprints in sand fade, memories of Longboat Key remain

My husband, daughter, and I had a wonderful stay at Jim's property on Longboat Key. Jim is a class act and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. He also knows the area so well, and he had great suggestions for restaurants and other things to do. The home is literally steps from the beach, and the beach and its sunsets are remarkable. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and beauty then this is definitely the spot for you!

AMAZING for body and mind!!

I wish I could summarize our stay with a few simple words, I cannot. The host, Jim Zili, with simply the best host we have ever had through VRBO or any other rental service. He was in communication with us the whole time in case we needed anything. If we called or texted, he immediately picked up or called back. He’s such a kind man with your best interest at heart as a guest. The house is stunning. The views are amazing, the people around you are friendly, we could not have asked for more. I implore you to rent this property. You will not regret it. You will want to go back year after year. I know we will!!!

A Perfect Fit

The villa was a great fit for myself, my husband, and our adult son who has disabilities. The house was clean and well-maintained. Check-in was the easiest ever. Being literally only a few steps from the beach was a game-changer for us all! When texting with Jim before we arrived, I asked if the unit was equipped with a shower chair, mentioning that it would be so much easier for us. A shower chair, still in the box, was waiting for us at the door when we checked in. Now that's service! We plan to book again for next year, which, I believe, is the highest vote of confidence you can give.

A true paradise

This villa is true paradise. As soon as you walk in you know it’s not your everyday VRBO. We were pleasantly surprised when we first opened the door and smelled a very clean home. The decoration in the Villa is exquisite. Every piece of furniture matched and the quality of the furniture was excellent. Everything from the throws on the sofas to the decorative pieces on the walls combined in perfect harmony. All accessories were top quality Pier 1 import and pottery barn. This tells me that the owner didn’t cut any corners when decorating. There’s even an Alice Dalton print in one of the rooms. Everything you can possibly want or need you will have at your reach from a well equipped kitchen with pots and pans, utensils and stemware to a pizza pan and cookie sheets. They really thought of everything to make their guests feel at home. The Villa is spacious and the layout is open floor plan so you never feel crowded. We were a family of 5 but originally booked for 8. 8 people would have fit comfortably. If you have small children or older adults in your party this place is perfect. You have a covered parking space steps from the front door. It is a one story so you don’t have to worry about carrying things up stairs or worry about kids and stairs. The sliding glass door that leads you to the amazing view of the gulf has a lock not accesible to kids. Access to the water couldn’t be any closer. The Villa has beach chairs and Umbrellas for you to use along with beach towels. The views and access to the beach are just breathtaking and the daily sunsets are mesmerizing. All of the above are important factors but what made the trip extra special was the one of a kind customer service. Mr. Zilli reaches out before your trip and provides detailed directions on what you need to do to make your trip enjoyable. He’s only a phone call away and goes above and beyond to provide his clients with everything they need. He also reaches out mid week to make sure everything is up to your standards and although we didn’t have any issues and didn’t need anything he was kind enough to send over fresh towels. I had asked Mr Zilli prior to our trip if the Villa came with a vacuum. He advised that it did. As soon as we arrived to the Villa he asked if the vacuum met my expectations because if it did not he would purchase a new one and have it sent to us. That is the kind of service you get with the Zilli properties. We can’t wait to book again.
