Villa advice

We think we have narrowed our search down to two villas, villa vistaero and villa devine. Any advice?
I've seen some reviews on villa vistaero, seems everybody loves it.

Also has anyone ever rented aero beds and pack & plays for the kids? We will have 4 kids w/ us this time, 6, 4 1/2, 3, and 1 1/2! Just wondering the cost?

Any help would be great, thanks!

You've probably seen my review of Vistaero, we stayed there with six kids ages 2-5. It worked very well for us, we put the kids in bedrooms with the adults (in the pull out sofas). We rented the pack-n-plays through Destination St. John, and they were at the house when we arrived.

Villa worked great for our group, it's very spacious, with large living area and kitchen, huge decks, large bedrooms.

None of the bedrooms connect through interior doors, so if you have kids sleeping in a room by themselves, you may want to bring a baby monitor so you can hear them if they get up. Also, three of the bedrooms are on the lower floor, so if you're hanging out on the upper decks at night, you might want the monitor so you can hear them in the bedrooms below.

We also had a wireless window/door alarm that we put on the outside door of the bedroom that would chime if the door was opened, that way we would know that one of the kids was up and about.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any specific questions.
