About this villa rental
VISION
Upon opening the door this beach-house-stylized villa conveys, “Welcome, you're on vacation in coastal South Florida!”
LOCATION SPECIFICS
This Hillsboro Beach villa resides on a private resort property that fully-spans Hillsboro Mile (A1A) from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal WW. Guests conveniently enjoy the distinct features of both the ocean and intracoastal waterfronts.
Within the resort property this villa is located on the intracoastal/west side adjacent to Hillsboro Mile (A1A). It is secluded from this historic roadway via lush tropical landscaping which also partially screens sightlines to other resort guests on footpaths as they travel to and fro. See pics.
RESORT AMENITIES
The Royal Flamingo Villas (RFV) resort offer 3 primary amenities: 1) Private Beach, Stairway to Ocean Shoreline Beach, and Beautiful Sunrises; 2) Heated Pool and Patio Sunbathing & Gathering; and 3) Intracoastal Gathering, Shuffle Board Court, and Beautiful Sunsets. See pics.
BASICS
This villa is one-half of a duplex of two identical 'mirror-image' units. Villa rooms include: 1 bedroom w/ walk-in closet, 1 tub/shower bathroom, galley kitchen with eating nook, living/gathering room, and a covered private porch. 1950’s constructed 6+” solid-mortar walls provide superior sound insulation from the adjoining villa. Villa furnishings are high-quality wicker-/rattan-framed with comfortable decorative cushions. Furnishings are accompanied by decorative lamps, the latest in led reading/task lights, and accented by a relaxing, fun array of original Florida-themed artworks. A fully equipped kitchen is meant to be used. Dimmable lighting, appliances, cooking accessories, dishes and glassware provide variety and quality consistent with what guests would typically use in their own home. Villa V is central air-conditioned/-heated along with two interior ceiling fans each for gathering room and bedroom.
The king-size-bed mattress and box-spring are comparable in comfort to 4/5-star hotels. An amazingly comfortable and easily movable blow-up bed is available to accommodate 3 overnight guests, though a hotel style cot is also available if requested.
Monday-Saturday daily maid service is provided for linens & towels. For longer stays housekeepers periodically change bed linens & bathroom towels and clean bathroom(s) & floors. A laundry hut facility (takes quarters) is available on both the west- and east-side of the resort property.
PORCH
An underestimated feature of Villa V is its attached covered porch. This very private porch is more aptly described as a 3-sided tropical room useful in nearly any weather condition. Shaded and outfitted with 2 porch chairs, table, lounge, side-table and a ceiling fan, the porch looks southeast onto flowering plantings and the early morning, noon and afternoon sunshine of South Florida. Guests typically move their lounge to the porch side-yard to provide an additional, very convenient sunbathing option. One wall of the porch is a 7’ tall solid-tri-fold wall/door system that divides it from the porch of the adjoining villa. Guests vacationing together in both duplex villas (V & W) typically choose to unlatch this decorative divider to enjoin their porches. Of note, this porch divider system was designed and manufactured to custom specifications by a company that produces similar door systems for Augusta National Golf Club.
BEYOND BASICS
This unit is equipped with a high-performance Sony entertainment system. Integrated components include: Bravia 52” HD tv, blue ray DVD player, and a home theater soundbar and woofer speaker system. Content is delivered to the entertainment system via comcast's HD digital package. Beyond Comcast… An in-house library of DVDs is provided. For guests who want to enjoy their own digital libraries of music, movies, videos and photographs, the home theater system can be connected to guests’ i-phones or android devices via standard-wired connections, or paired via Bluetooth wireless technology.
STAYING CONNECTED
A dedicated parking space is provided a few steps from the villa backdoor -- an often underestimated convenience particularly for long-stay guests who plan to extensively dine and entertain inside or on porch. Hi-speed wireless internet is provided at no additional charge. Remote-work enablers -- desk, desk chair & task lamp -- are located in bedroom, although the kitchen table also jas a task lamp. That said, guests ironically connect far more with one another vs. the outside world, enjoyably losing track of time, days and weeks!
***
Note - For non-peak demand period stays of 11-27 nights, inquire with owner re potential additional length-of-stay discount.

Great property with easy beach and pool access. Fully equipped cottages. Attentive staff.
4.8
Pros: The resort was fantastic, and the pictures on the VRBO website are accurate. The room was spacious and clean. We could feel the authentic villa feel throughout our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook small / large meals. The beach was so near; it was just a few minutes of walking distance, and the views were stunning.
Cons: However, the TVs are quite old but still functional. The remote controls are confusing, with separate remotes for volume, DVD, and TV. It would be much more convenient to have just one remote for the TV.
Recommendations: I would recommend offering a reasonable cleaning service for atleast 3 days once would be good for whoever stay longer. And including pictures on the website of all the appliances in the kitchen would be helpful. And on the beach, it would be great to have some lighting around the huts at night. Overall, it was a superb great stay.

The villa was immaculate! We vacationed over Thanksgiving break. I ended up cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the villa and we had everything we needed and then some!
We can't wait to stay here again!

We had an amazing stay. This was our first time with our 2 year old in Florida and the view and short walk to the beach was the best part. We can't wait to come back!

We liked our stay at RFW. Only problem was, last two days of trip Hurricane Nicole was approaching this area. We reached out to Tom Jenks, owner, that we were concerned with our safety of storm approaching. We asked if we could checkout early and be reimbursed for our remainder two days (11/8,9). He said no. The only way to receive credit was if Broward county declared an evacuation. Regardless, we saw early weather reports showing hurricane with ocean surge approaching Hillsboro Beach, FL. After hearing this we did not want to stick around to see what happens on this intercoastal land area that this property is on. We were very disappointed that Tom Jenks was not sympathetic with our concern for our safety to leave early! We did stay one more day (11/8) and left one day early (11/9) before hurricane made landfall. If Tom Jenks valued our safety, he would overlook evacuation policy and refund us for the one day.
PS... We booked this trip too celebrate my wife 75th birthday. Turns out hurricane made a mess of this trip!

This was a nice little gem tucked in the middle of the high rises! Both ocean and intra coastal views. This unit is close to AIA and there is some traffic noise but nothing that really bothered us. Highly recommend!
4.8
This place was exactly what we needed, a lovely, clean and perfectly positioned villa. The Royal Flamingo Villas are situated on a great property, giving you the best of a private beach, intercostal area and a poolside. Beautiful!
I would recommend this villa and I am sure I will be booking again in the future.
Tom, the villa W owner, was good in replying to questions and very helpful.
Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay
The property manager was wonderful to work with and we appreciated his prompt responses to our inquiries. The only complaint we really have which is personal anyway, is the bed was very hard for us and a bit uncomfortable but we prefer a softer mattress. Other than that we would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful beach vacation. Loved the privacy of the “on property” beach and amenities along with the pool.

To say the least, great food places within 20 minutes. The rocks on the beach down a ways offered great snorkeling areas. We saw two squid! The suggestions on local food and stores was appreciated. Loved the workers. Even are shipping me back my hairdryer I left! Very friendly & awesome to work with. Will be sharing this villa info among my friends and family.

Everything we needed to get some R&R. The villa's are well located and the atmosphere is very low key, families. We didn't stay long enough to use the pool or laundry etc. but everything is well managed & grounds well-maintained.

This place is gorgeous, it has the best of both worlds, the unique beachfront atmosphere as well as the relaxing intercoastal luxury view, the resort is so well maintained, a small jewel in an unbeatable location.
Villa W is super well equipped, you get a better price for it being on the intercoastal side but at the same time it is strategically located in the middle of both, so you are always a few steps to the experience of your choice.
During the second half of our stay we had some issues with the villa´s central A/C unit, which was nobody’s fault but just a technical mishap, once reported to the resort management and Tom (The owner) it was managed on a extremely professional and on time fashion, we were transferred to another villa on the beach side and even got a courtesy refund from the owner for the inconvenience, something truly appreciated because it is precisely when things deviate from the expected that you truly get to experience the real customer service capabilities and they got a 5 star rating on this very important front too.
Tom was amazingly accessibly and attentive at all times, he truly mastered the whole process along with the resort management, we realized thereafter that he also owns 5 other villas in this resort on both sides so I will not hesitate to rent from him again, before even knowing that we took the decision to rent a beachfront villa directly through the resort management for August to bring our 8 YO daughter before she starts school again in California where we live, first time ever that we repeat a stay in the same place this close, a clear sign of how much we got to love this unique place.

We had a very enjoyable time at Villa W - it was just what we were looking for. The owner was easy to work with, the unit was clean and included everything we needed. We spent hours daily on the east side of the property beach (Atlantic) and the evenings watching the boats come in on the west side Intracoastal waterway. Didn't need to visit any other beach! Lots of close restaurants and grocery stores - all good. The road "A1A" that runs through the property was not busy and had a crosswalk for us. Really great location. We did some touristy things (Kennedy Space Center, Flamingo Gardens, Riverboat, Everglades air boat tour) and read books on the beach (bring your own beach towel!). The patio was nice for morning coffee with the birds, lizards and beautiful landscaping. TV and Wifi worked great (for those that want to work). The king bed was really nice and comfortable. Check in was the easiest ever. Honestly could not have asked for anything else! We'll be back for sure!

You really need to read small print before booking this property. The pictures are misleading. The resort has villas (read small bungalows) on both sides of 1A1. The pictures are for the bungalows on the beach. W villa is on the other side of the road, facing a very busy 1A1. The area called "extra sunbathing" is nothing more than a patch of grass separated from the road by dusty bushes. The traffic is very heavy and there is no privacy.
Once you cross the road and find yourself on the beach, the beach is perfect. Plenty of space and not crowed at all.
Another plus - the bungalow was super clean and the king bed was comfortable. My recommendation is to book directly with the management and select a property on the east side (beach side) of the road.

Loved this property, the access both to the beach and intercoastal was wonderful to have. We did not have a car for the week but it was only a mile walk to the boardwalk area and restaurants. We will be back!

My private pre Xmas Villa W
It’s an extraordinary holiday destination, spacious, accessible to beach, shops and if all goes well beautiful sunshine.
The proprietor of the Villa W is attentive, customer friendly and professional. His kitchen is equipped with more than basic essentials, the mattress is firm, and there is plenty of space for personal items.
The staff of the RFV is courteous, respectful and professional.
I would highly recommend this rental Villa W to future vacationers, and will definitely consider renting this Villa in the future.

Cosy cottage with great amenities
Enjoyable week at this semi detached cottage with access to a private beach and the intra coastal within the grounds.
Walking distance (20 mins) of the Deerfield Beach pier and bars and restaurants. Visited the nearby local sea turtle rescue centre called Gumbo Limbo. A great experience.
Property itself was perfect for our needs and the Mon_to Fri maid service was a welcome surprise. Very clean with everything we needed.
Only slight negative was proximity to the A1A road although not a major problem for us.
Would return.

Best of both worlds
Amaze, secluded, relaxing and best location! The landlord is absolutely 5stars! Everything you need is in this condo. I learned how to shuffleboard while staying here for almost a month ! I am sad to leave .

Overall good experience
I rented the whole duplex (villas v and w) and we had overall good experience.But note that villas started to show wear and tear,especially villa V.And close proximity of the villas to a major road was bothersome.

Perfect
The unit that we stayed in was perfect. We were on a “total relaxation” vacation and the location of this unit was great. It was close enough to everything, but far enough to give us peace and quiet. The private beach and pool were awesome as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful and they ensured that the unit stayed clean and well stocked.
We highly recommend this location and definitely plan to return.
4.8
Lovely Vacation
Villa W had everything we needed for a relaxing stay: full kitchen, king size bed, patio for morning coffee, beach bag, drying rack and more. We didn't even need the beach chairs and umbrella provided since the resort has lounge chairs and shade right by the beach, intercoastal and pool. Royal Flamingo is a peaceful resort with lovely walkways and plantings!

Laid back holiday
Had a wonderful 3 weeks. Laid back and simple life style.

As always, wonderful!
3rd time, or maybe 4th staying here in V or W...it’s our little slice of heaven!
4.8
Nice little spot in an excellent location
A short walk to the intracoastal or beach, this villa is in an excellent location. We spent 10 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely. The kitchen was small but very well-stocked and there is housekeeping service everyday but Saturday and Sunday.

Loved our Villa! ❤️
Our villa was beautiful inside and out! Loved how secluded it felt. Enjoyed the private beach with the cabanas and Tiki shades. Also loved that the bay was on the other side and beautiful! We enjoyed time on both sides! What a perfect property! And the pier with all the restaurants was just a short walk away - everything about our stay was perfect! Will definitely try to come back!
