Amazing Property and Amazing Property Management
We had an amazing stay in this villa and spent 2 weeks here; it had everything we could ask for, and it was outstanding. The kids loved the pool along with the games room. The bedrooms are huge, the second bedroom is big but wow the master room is huge. The balcony in this room is stunning, its lovely to sit here in the morning/ evening and just watch the world go by. We will 100% return to this villa. The property management company (Christine & Ivan) are amazing as well. We saw Ivan a few times during our stay. The booking process was brilliant, and Christine was so helpful and was available if needed during our time at the villa.

Perry & Charlie thank you for your review and we are so glad you had a great holiday. St Andrews is a favourite and you are most welcome again...if it's not booked. Take care and see you all again soon. Christine & Ivan / Key Enterprises LLC
Fantastic holiday at St Andrews villa
This is our 4th stay at this villa...
Westhaven is in great location.
The villa itself has everything you need for a perfect holiday.
Spotlessly clean and all rooms are incredible, suitable for families and the pool and games room will keep children amused for hours.
Loved the fans in the covered lanai, nice to cool off on a hot summer night after a dip in the pool.
The location is ideal for the parks, petrol stations, supermarkets bars and restaurants are all close by....and if you are a golfer there are loads to choose from.
Ivan and Christine the property managers are fabulous to deal with very courteous and are always available should you need them.
Look forward to stay number 5.

Perfect end to a perfect holiday
We go to Florida virtually every year and have done for the last two decades so feel we know what we want when it comes to villla’s. This ticked all of the boxes. It was lovely and clean, plenty of kitchen ware, huge comfy bed in the master, well kept pool and spa and a great games room. Would highly recommend. The owners were great at sending out information and keeping in touch. Would definitely stay again.
