The owner was incredibly kind from the start. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house. It fit our family of four comfortably. It was clean and I was able to cook meals in the modern kitchen. The pool was spectacular. Warm, salt water pool with lovely lights at night. We and our pre-teen children loved it and spent 3 hours a day in the 87 degree water. The house is 1/3 mile from the Intracoastal and less than a mile from the beach. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood both during the day and at night. We highly recommend this property and would definitely return if we had the time. Thank you!

My husband and I highly recommend any property that Garland and Joy own! Our original stay at Villa Santorini was incredible! The Villa is spacious, private, and immaculate! After a month of being spoiled, we were sad to leave. Garland and Joy truly were interested in making sure they were able to do everything possible to make us comfortable including welcoming our pets. We were even here during a hurricane threat and Garland made sure his tenants were safe and aware of what was going on. I have used VRBO before and always been satisfied, but this stay is heads and shoulders above all the others!! Thank you Garland and Joy!

Sandra & I were teaching our baby to swim when we started to look for a house in Delray Beach. The heated salt water pool at Garland & Joy’s Santorini property was an obvious attraction to us as renters. Santorini’s proximity to downtown Delray Beach (& family 15 minutes away) also garnered our interest. One week before our arrival, we drove by Santorini to look at the house. It turned out that Santorini’s outdoor furnishings, & continuously flowering landscaped grounds were also attractive. It was not just a practical & comfortable space to enjoy outside, every day, but it was also beautiful in a way which created peace, relaxation, & was a happy space for swimming, being alone, & social gatherings. We therefore rented for 1 month w/ an extension Santorini, the house, like most of the houses on the street is unremarkably setback off of a typically low traffic, residential road in a suburban (Palm Trails) neighborhood w/ sidewalks. The house itself is walking distance from the Intercoastal waterway & popular Atlantic Avenue, w/ Walgreens, Publix, & a locally owned Farmer’s Grocery Market nearby. The house is a “split ranch” architecture & interior, w/ a 2-bedroom Jack & Jill layout (rooms connected by individual toilets & sinks but sharing a shower in between), vaulted ceilings, overhead fans in both bedrooms, & an updated kitchen w/ enormous freezer & refrigerator space. All furnishings were lavishly comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, & ample enough for a family of 4 plus several guests. The non-kitschy elegant beach-themed artwork adorning each of the rooms was also a bonus. We spent most of our time in the south-facing Master bedroom which had ample shaded windows which allowed for lots of light. It was very comfortable, quiet, & airy. Occasionally, we used the 2nd bedroom for nursing our 4-month-old son throughout the night. In the day, the 2nd bedroom floor provided for a good play space for our son to practice tummy time, & for guests to have a bathroom & changing room for the pool. The house had excellent wi-fi & TV hookups. Our Superhost, Garland made our stay worthwhile. He is a magnanimous man. He was not only responsive & quick to answer any questions that we had, provide us w/ help, or repair any problems; he was a stakeholder in our happiness, showing kindness, respect, thoughtfulness. generosity, & enthusiasm. He’s also fun to talk to! Sandra & I will definitely wish to rent Santorini again w/ Garland next time we return to Delray Beach.

First and foremost the owners are great. They met us at the house when we arrived and took the time to explain everything about the house/pool and then discussed the area. Over the next two weeks, they checked in multiple times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. A first class experience. The house is great and the location is excellent. It is near Atlantic Avenue so walking is certainly doable but easy escape route to George Bush Blvd to get to A1A to avoid driving on Atlantic Avenue. It is close to various stores including Publix and it is easy to run up and down Rt.1 to other areas.

The house is in a fantastic location, easily within walking distance to Atlantic Avenue. The owners, Garland and Joy, are very accommodating and the property is well-maintained. The outdoor area and pool are terrific!

We have loved our time at Villa Santorini. Our hosts have provided everything you could need on a beautifully appointed, comfortable, perfectly located cottage with gorgeous private gardens and pool. Can't wait to return to this gorgeous villa in beautiful Delray Beach!

Once again Villa Santorini did not disappoint. The house and yard were both beautiful and the location was perfect for our needs. The house was spotless and very comfortable. The yard was very private and the pool was warm and beautiful. This was our second time renting from Joy and Garland and we look forward to spending another week there in the spring. I would highly recommend this property!!!

We just returned home from a wonderful 2 week stay at Joy and Garland's lovely home in Downtown Delray. This house has it all: great location, clean, comfortable and charming, but the best part of the vacation has to be the owners. I, along with the owners, organized a surprise birthday party at the house, which turned out to be a huge success. They were more than helpful. We had about 30 people who were comfortable in the beautiful backyard. The pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor space in Villa Santorini. Owners were very accommodating. We were 2 couples, the property worked well for us. We would definitely return. Delray is a great destination, lots to do.
