Wonderful vacation villa
My husband and I stayed at La Caravelle for 12 days. The property was exactly as advertised. Elisa met us at the gate, provided our keys, and gave us an overview of the unit. She also provided drinks / snacks so that we were able to enjoy a travel break before hitting the grocery store. She was awesome!!! The reason I gave the check-in process a 4 vs 5 star rating is because the initial written instructions could have been clearer. There are two entrance gates to the property and we went to the first (side) gate and waited there before we realized it wasn’t the right place. The kitchen was well appointed and everything worked well, and there were several extra items that are not always provided at other VRBOs. The views/deck were wonderful and we especially enjoyed seeing the large yachts moored in the bay. There was a small grocery, a bakery, and several good restaurants within a two min walk. The setup of the villas around multiple pools ensured they were not busy, so it was almost as though the closest pool was a private pool. The beach is wide but not great for swimming, although there are a couple places you could go into the surf. From a drawback perspective, the general area is not the greatest - you can tell it hasn’t fully recovered from the hurricane, but it was not unsafe, there was secure parking, and its location is convenient to key beaches. Also, the bed is extra, extra firm. Even though we have a firm mattress at home, it took us a few days to adjust.
