What guests say
8.3 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 267 guest reviews
Villas by the Sea earns consistent praise for its unbeatable location next to Driftwood Beach and its generously sized, quiet accommodations, making it a solid choice for a relaxed coastal getaway. However, multiple guests flag that the villas are noticeably dated — with maintenance issues including worn-out outlets, poor shower pressure, rusted doors, overgrown shrubs, and thin walls — suggesting the property would benefit from meaningful renovation. Overall sentiment is positive but tempered by recurring upkeep concerns that prevent it from feeling premium.
