My husband and I spent 12 nights at this gorgeous place this past Christmas. The villa is spacious, spotless, airy and light, yet very comfortable and filled with whimsical marine-themed décor. The kitchen was so well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the huge terrace and the fact that the house sits back from the beach, offering much privacy. There is a lovely wooden deck that sits right on the beach and has cozy Adirondack chairs. Being in North Palmetto Point is very convenient.

We just returned from a week at Aqua Vista and I cannot imagine a better rental. It’s clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The Adirondack chairs on the patio and deck are heavy and high-quality, and the beach deck is fabulous. The house layout provides privacy in the two ensuite bedrooms, with quality linens and comfortable beds. The common area is open and inviting. The kitchen has everything you need. Sue, the caretaker, does a great job (and she rents cars,too). I will look no further when …

You can easily visit many beaches and points of interest such as Levy Preserve and Blue Hole, though the beach right out the door may be one of the nicest. North Palmetto Point is also close to restaurants and Island Farms, which sells fresh produce along with many home-made products including hummus, spinach dip, salsa, dressings and marinades. They also have baked goods on certain days of the week.
