style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Goa has a vast villa market \u2014 ranging from large party farmhouses near the beaches to boutique stays tucked into quieter villages. What The Heliconia Bungalows offers is something different: the intimacy of a small villa in North Goa combined with the infrastructure of a well-managed gated community, in a location that puts some of Vagator&#8217;s best experiences within a 3 km radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The location is the first thing to understand. At 3 km from both Vagator Beach and Chapora Fort, and within the quieter, greener Vagator neighbourhood, The Heliconia Bungalows sits close enough to the action of North Goa to make everything accessible and far enough from it to feel like a genuine retreat. The mountain views that frame the property are a Goa experience that the beach-facing properties cannot offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside, the villa has been designed for comfort over spectacle \u2014 well-appointed rooms, a projector setup for movie nights, board games, work-friendly spaces, and a dining area that flows into a balcony. Outside, the shared pool and garden, al fresco dining at no extra charge, and the barbecue setup create the ingredients for a full and easy stay. The on-site restaurant, exclusive to the nine-villa community, means meals are never more than a short walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 4.9\/5 across 55 reviews, The Heliconia Bungalows is one of the highest-rated small villas in North Goa on StayVista \u2014 a score that reflects the consistency of experience that a well-run boutique property delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-heliconia-bungalows-stands-out-as-a-villa-in-north-goa-for\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Heliconia_Bungalows_stands_out_as_a_villa_in_North_Goa_for\"><\/span>The Heliconia Bungalows stands out as a villa in North Goa for:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scenic mountain views framing the property \u2014 rare for a villa in North Goa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 km from Vagator Beach and Chapora Fort \u2014 the ideal Vagator location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shared outdoor pool and shared garden within a peaceful gated community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Al fresco dining available at no extra charge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-site restaurant exclusive to the 9-villa community \u2014 meals at your doorstep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Projector setup for cosy movie nights in the living room<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complimentary breakfast included with every stay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet-friendly \u2014 1 pet welcome at Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 5,000 security deposit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barbecue evenings for up to 8 guests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-space-three-bedrooms-important-notes-on-the-layout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space_Three_Bedrooms_Important_Notes_on_the_Layout\"><\/span>The Space: Three Bedrooms, Important Notes on the Layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heliconia Bungalows has three king-size bedrooms across two floors. Before booking, there is one layout detail worth understanding clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"bedroom-1-ground-floor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bedroom_1_%E2%80%94_Ground_Floor\"><\/span>Bedroom 1 \u2014 Ground Floor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-395000.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bedroom 1 is on the ground floor with AC and Wi-Fi. Its bathroom is not an ensuite \u2014 it is a separate bathroom adjacent to the room, close to the living area. This bathroom is private to Bedroom 1&#8217;s guests but requires a short walk from the room rather than being directly attached. Guests who prefer a fully ensuite setup should factor this in before booking and may wish to request Bedrooms 2 or 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"bedrooms-2-and-3-first-floor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bedrooms_2_and_3_%E2%80%94_First_Floor\"><\/span>Bedrooms 2 and 3 \u2014 First Floor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-db49eb.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-b68542.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both on the first floor, both king-size, and both fully ensuite with attached bathrooms and private balconies. Both have AC and Wi-Fi. These are the more private rooms with the benefit of balcony access and elevated views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"living-room-and-dining-area\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Living_Room_and_Dining_Area\"><\/span>Living Room and Dining Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-863ed1.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-ee9063.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spacious living room is on the ground floor \u2014 well-appointed with AC, TV, Wi-Fi, and a CCTV camera for security. The attached balcony opens from the living area, providing a natural transition between indoors and outdoors. The dining area is integrated with the living space, and the projector setup in the living room makes it the entertainment hub of the villa for movie nights and shared viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"kitchen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kitchen\"><\/span>Kitchen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests have reheating access to the kitchen \u2014 for tea, coffee, and basic warming \u2014 but not full cooking. The kitchen is equipped with all essentials, crockery, and cutlery. Reheating and consumption of non-vegetarian food is permitted. All proper meals are served through the on-site restaurant or via the in-house \u00e0 la carte service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"every-bedroom-includes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Every_Bedroom_Includes\"><\/span>Every Bedroom Includes:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>King-size bed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AC and Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom with geyser, towels, and basic toiletries (ensuite for Bedrooms 2 and 3; separate adjacent bathroom for Bedroom 1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Balcony attached to Bedrooms 2 and 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"outdoor-spaces-pool-lawn-al-fresco-dining-and-barbecue\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outdoor_Spaces_Pool_Lawn_Al_Fresco_Dining_and_Barbecue\"><\/span>Outdoor Spaces: Pool, Lawn, Al Fresco Dining, and Barbecue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-shared-pool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Shared_Pool\"><\/span>The Shared Pool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-d2c34e.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outdoor pool is shared within the nine-villa gated community. At 20 feet by 10 feet with a depth of 4 feet, it is sized for a small group and is well-suited to the 9-guest capacity of The Heliconia Bungalows. Pool timings are 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Guests are asked to wear swimming attire, shower before entering, and avoid carrying food and drinks in or around the pool. Children must be supervised at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-shared-lawn-and-garden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Shared_Lawn_and_Garden\"><\/span>The Shared Lawn and Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-87c142.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawn, at 100 square feet with an open garden, is also shared within the gated community. It seats up to 10 people and is well-suited to slow mornings in the Goa sun \u2014 a coffee on the grass, a book in the garden, or simply soaking in the mountain views that frame this part of Vagator. It provides the right setting for the al fresco dining experience and the barbecue setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"al-fresco-dining\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Al_Fresco_Dining\"><\/span>Al Fresco Dining<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/the-heliconia-bungalows-d17281.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al fresco dining is available at no extra charge \u2014 one of the more generous inclusions for a villa in North Goa at this price point. The garden and outdoor spaces provide the setting, and meals from the \u00e0 la carte menu can be arranged to be enjoyed outside. For a group of 9 in Vagator, dining outdoors under the Goa evening sky is a natural end to most days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"barbecue\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barbecue\"><\/span>Barbecue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1534177616072-ef7dc120449d?q=80&amp;w=2070&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D\" alt=\"Image credit; Vincent Keiman via unsplash\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A barbecue is available at extra cost for a maximum of 8 guests.

Mopa International Airport (also known as Goa International Airport) is approximately 29 km away, roughly 40 to 50 minutes by road. Thivim Railway Station is 19 km away and Mapusa Bus Stand is 9 km away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vagator Beach and Chapora Fort are just 3 km from the property \u2014 a 5 to 10 minute drive or a comfortable scooter ride. For guests who want to explore North Goa independently, renting a scooter from Vagator or Mapusa is the most practical option. The road leading up to the villa may be concrete; confirm the final approach with the StayVista team before departure. Outside food and outside vendors are not permitted on the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"things-to-do-near-the-heliconia-bungalows-vagator-and-north-goa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Do_Near_The_Heliconia_Bungalows_Vagator_and_North_Goa\"><\/span>Things to Do Near The Heliconia Bungalows: Vagator and North Goa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heliconia Bungalows sits at the quieter, more characterful end of North Goa \u2014 Vagator and Chapora are a different pace from the Calangute-Baga belt, and the experiences nearby reflect that. Here are the four most compelling things to plan around your stay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-chapora-fort-3-km-from-the-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Chapora_Fort_%E2%80%94_3_km_from_the_villa\"><\/span>1.

Best known outside heritage circles as the &#8216;Dil Chahta Hai Fort&#8217;, its ruined ramparts offer some of the finest panoramic views in all of Goa, taking in Vagator Beach, Ozran Beach, and Morjim Beach simultaneously. Entry is free, and the fort is open from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Best visited in the late afternoon for the sunset light; arrive before 5:00 PM. USP: It is a short drive or scooter ride from the villa \u2014 the most convenient fort visit in North Goa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-vagator-beach-3-km-from-the-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Vagator_Beach_%E2%80%94_3_km_from_the_villa\"><\/span>2.

Big Vagator is the broader, more active stretch; Ozran is quieter and more secluded, backed by sea-view bars and clubs at Vagator Cliff that attract a more discerning crowd at sunset. Water sports including parasailing, jet-skiing, banana boat rides, and dolphin watching tours are available on the beach. Entry is free. Best from November to February when the weather is clear and the sea is calm; avoid the monsoon when swells make the water unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-anjuna-flea-market-approx-5-km-from-the-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Anjuna_Flea_Market_%E2%80%94_approx_5_km_from_the_villa\"><\/span>3.

Open every Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, from October to April. Entry is free. Arrive early for the best selection and the most comfortable walking; bargaining is standard and expected. USP: It is the only Wednesday market in the Vagator-Anjuna belt \u2014 if your stay includes a Wednesday, this is a non-negotiable morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-fort-aguada-approx-25-km-from-the-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Fort_Aguada_%E2%80%94_approx_25_km_from_the_villa\"><\/span>4.

Entry to the fort is free; a nominal fee of Rs. 25 for Indians (Rs. 300 for foreign nationals) is charged to visit the lighthouse, which is one of Asia&#8217;s oldest and a standout feature of the site. Open from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Best visited in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat, combined with a stop at Candolim or Sinquerim Beach on the return. It is a half-day excursion from Vagator but one that gives the most complete picture of Goa&#8217;s Portuguese heritage after Chapora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"suggested-itinerary-a-weekend-at-the-heliconia-bungalows\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suggested_Itinerary_A_Weekend_at_The_Heliconia_Bungalows\"><\/span>Suggested Itinerary: A Weekend at The Heliconia Bungalows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Characterful.

Complimentary breakfast if you arrive in the morning. Afternoon: the shared pool as the Goa sun softens. As evening settles, al fresco dining in the garden \u2014 the restaurant&#8217;s \u00e0 la carte menu served outdoors at no extra charge. Follow it with a barbecue setup if your group has pre-arranged one. End with a projector movie night in the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-2-fort-beach-market-circuit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%94_Fort_Beach_Market_Circuit\"><\/span>Day 2 \u2014 Fort, Beach, Market Circuit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complimentary breakfast, then drive to Chapora Fort (3 km) for the morning \u2014 arrive by 10:00 AM before the midday heat.

Afternoon: Ozran Beach and the cliff-top bars at Little Vagator for sundowners with the Arabian Sea as the backdrop. Return to the villa for dinner at the on-site restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-3-wednesday-vagator-or-fort-aguada\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_3_%E2%80%94_Wednesday_Vagator_or_Fort_Aguada\"><\/span>Day 3 \u2014 Wednesday Vagator (or Fort Aguada)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your stay includes a Wednesday: drive to Anjuna Flea Market (5 km) by 9:30 AM and spend 2 to 3 hours browsing the Wednesday bazaar \u2014 handmade jewellery, bohemian clothing, spices, and street food. Return for a last pool session. If it is not a Wednesday: drive to Fort Aguada (25 km) for the heritage morning, combined with Candolim or Sinquerim Beach on the return. Back to the villa for a slow final afternoon before check-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-time-to-visit-the-heliconia-bungalows-and-north-goa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Time_to_Visit_The_Heliconia_Bungalows_and_North_Goa\"><\/span>Best Time to Visit The Heliconia Bungalows and North Goa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Goa is one of the most accessible year-round destinations in India, but the experience at The Heliconia Bungalows shifts meaningfully across the seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Season<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Months<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Weather<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Experience at The Heliconia<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Peak Winter<\/strong><\/td><td>Nov \u2013 Feb<\/td><td>22\u201332\u00b0C, clear and dry<\/td><td>The best all-round window for North Goa.

For 2 to 3 couples, or a small friend group of 6 to 9, the property provides the right scale \u2014 big enough for privacy between the bedrooms, small enough for everyone to share the garden, the pool, and the al fresco dining experience as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"families-with-young-children\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Families_with_Young_Children\"><\/span>Families with Young Children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shared pool&#8217;s accessible 4-foot depth, the garden spaces, the complimentary breakfast, and the on-site restaurant mean families don&#8217;t have to go far for anything. The Vagator neighbourhood \u2014 quieter and more residential than Calangute or Baga \u2014 provides a less hectic base for families who want Goa without the full tourist-belt energy. Pet-friendly too, for families travelling with animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"guests-who-want-vagator-and-chapora-not-the-baga-strip\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guests_Who_Want_Vagator_and_Chapora_Not_the_Baga_Strip\"><\/span>Guests Who Want Vagator and Chapora, Not the Baga Strip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heliconia Bungalows is for guests who know the difference between Vagator and Calangute and have specifically chosen the former. The Chapora Fort view, Ozran Beach&#8217;s quieter cliff-top scene, the Wednesday Anjuna Market, and the village pace of Vagator are what this property is proximate to. Guests seeking the full Baga-Tito&#8217;s-casino experience are better served by properties further south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"guests-travelling-with-pets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guests_Travelling_with_Pets\"><\/span>Guests Travelling with Pets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One pet is welcome at Rs. 1,000 additional charge plus a Rs. 5,000 refundable security deposit.

He holds a BA in International Hospitality Management and Tourism Studies. His passion for writing makes him a perfect candidate for what he does. Despite having a diverse career roadmap in HR as a Data Analyst and delighting guests in the lounge and cafes of JW Marriott, his true passion lies in persuading people to read with his power of words. He's a published author of a hard sci-fi novella, 'The Evitable,' and is working on his next western-political thriller. When not writing, he reads, sings, plays guitar, or watches movies or TV shows, always hunting for stories that bring a climax with goosebumps.","url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/author\/krutarthac\/"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/heliconia-bungalows-villa-in-north-goa\/#faq-question-1787123690363","position":1,"url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/heliconia-bungalows-villa-in-north-goa\/#faq-question-1787123690363","name":"How many guests can stay at The Heliconia Bungalows?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Heliconia Bungalows accommodates up to 9 guests across 3 king-size bedrooms \u2014 1 on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor with ensuite bathrooms and balconies.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/heliconia-bungalows-villa-in-north-goa\/#faq-question-1787123702226","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/heliconia-bungalows-villa-in-north-goa\/#faq-question-1787123702226","name":"Is the pool private?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. The outdoor pool is shared within the gated community of nine villas.
