Our villa is equipped with a state of the art triple filtration water softener system that provides the purest, cleanest water throughout the property. The triple filtration removes contaminants and minerals, while also protecting pipes and appliances.

We have also used a natural lime wash paint in the bedrooms containing ingredients that improve indoor air quality.

Guest reviews
Nix’s place is a lovely get away in IRB which is a treasure on the Gulf Coast. We walked to Grove for coffee and breakfast sandwiches . IRB cafe for smoothies and sandwiches and last minute groceries. I had a great pedicure at Crystals. Walked two minutes to sunset beach every night. The house is thoughtfully decorated and filled with nice touches for a comfortable stay. The gym and sauna are a treat! I would definitely stay here again.
