Villa Tropical (VT Main)

"Villa Tropical" is both the brand name of our vacation rental business, and, the name of the 6-unit, three-story property centrally located on Shacks Beach/Playa Shacks. The Villa Tropical Hotel is VT Main or affectionately known as just “VT” for short. The Bottom Left or "BL" apartment unit itself, was one of the first "shacks," and the first ever, public vacation rental on Shacks Beach, many moons ago. Since 1990, the Villa Tropical main units have enchanted regular visitors with "first come first reserve" booking practices; and a "home away from home" hospitality that has to be experienced to comprehend. For a holiday weekend, this building books a year in advance.

There are 6 centrally located units, 4 front to ocean and two to the back, office and store side. Internal stairs connect the units to each other and a shared laundry area. Remodeled several times and impeccably cared for, The Villa Tropical (Hotel) building's 4 oceanfront apartment units are located directly in front of, [looking over and in to], the Blue Hole Coral Reef and the 'Swimming Area' on Shacks Beach. The Playa Linda building is our oceanside neighbor and Casa Soledad is across the street. The General Manager's Office, and the Villa Tropical Store and Gift Shop are also centrally located in the ground floor as are coin operated laundry machines.

The Villa Tropical Hotel boasts a stunning wood deck that juts out over the dunes (a picture takers favorite spot). Your beach showers are on the deck just steps above the sand directly in front of the "Swimming Hole" – The BEST place to perch oneself on this beach because it's the best (only) sandy access to the ocean for miles on either side. Plus it’s the launching site for most Shacks watersports.

There are 6 individual, fully - equipped apartment units available in the Villa Tropical Hotel (VT Main). There are two – two-bedroom oceanfront units on the top level (TL and TR); and a two-bedroom beside a studio on the lower (BL and FS). TR and TL share an upper deck and shared barbecue up top.
