The Heart Villa - 16 couchages, piscine en forme de cœur, gazebo, aire de jeux

The Heart Villa is a five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa that sleeps 16, set on 11,000 square feet of land in Samaan Grove, a gated community in Canaan with 24/7 security. It is about five minutes from the beach and close to the other beaches nearby.

The pool is heart-shaped, with three depths including a shallow area that suits kids and toddlers. Around it are loungers and a large gazebo with an outdoor TV, a bar and seating area, a full-size BBQ grill, an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit. A large swing set and play park keep children busy in the secure back garden. The living and dining areas are open plan, with a 65-inch TV and a large dining table, and they open onto the pool and garden.

Bedrooms: five air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed, a memory-foam mattress, a TV and an en suite with an enclosed outdoor-style shower. A sofa bed in the living room brings the total to 16. A crib is available.

The kitchen is fully equipped, with a dishwasher, oven, stove, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, coffee maker and toaster. There is also WiFi, a washer and dryer, an iron, ceiling fans, a sound system, free on-site parking, and lake and beach access nearby.

Check-in is self-service, with a digital key code provided at check-in. Guests say the villa is clean, well maintained and quiet at night, with a safe space for kids and great outdoor space for evenings.

House rules: check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. No smoking, no pets, and no parties or events. Samaan Grove is a quiet residential estate.
