About this property

Resort Villa, Private Oceanfront Beach, Heated Pool, IntraCoastal Gathering

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.

Everything was Great!
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!

Best stay in Hillsboro
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!

Early departure / Hurricane Nicole
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! Villa #W

great place
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!

Lovely villa
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.

About the host

Hosted by Tom (owner)

Host profile image
This villa is owned by tom & debbie of wheaton, il. We grew-up in the cleveland and detroit areas, and met at michigan state university in the mid-seventies. We have been enjoying this property and south florida since the 1970's.
Tom's professional background is management consulting, primarily representing price waterhouse and ibm. Debbie was a piano teacher for many years, and is still an avid piano player -- for her own enjoyment only!
We have two grown children, allyson and stephanie, who grew-up enjoying this property and florida's weather so much they both decided to attend college in fl.
Allyson is a florida gator & stetson law school grad who currently resides and practices law in south florida. Stephanie is a graduate of eckerd college in st. petersburg, and teaches high school english in chicago.

Why they chose this property

Extensive domestic and international travel for work, study and vacation has been a common theme of our family. Yet, regardless of the many spectacular places we've been, each of us still immensely enjoy vacationing at these villas -- together as family, with extended family, and individually with friends.
Some things don't change. We have been able to accurately say for more than 40 years of evolving interests and perspective, 'at the villas there's something for everyone.'
Each year our family invests significant thought, effort and resources improving and updating these villas, while also challenging ourselves to retain the enduring rich nuggets of character and heritage inherent of this truly extraordinary property.
Tom & debbie inherited this villa from tom's parents in 2010. We rent this property to help offset the costs of ownership. We sincerely hope our guests enjoy these legacy villas as much as we have, and still do.
