Villa Joy has continued to impress.  We had decided not to return to Turkey this year but to be truthful,  we couldn't find any villa in any country to compare to Villa Joy on value for money, taking everything into consideration.  From cleanliness to standard, from villa service to location, neighbours and the gardens and pool, this villa is ace.  Like for like in another country would be 2 or 3 times the cost.  We, again, had lovely holiday and cannot fault this villa, owner or manager.

The villa was exactly as described.  The manager Mehmet,  was very good at keeping in touch and most helpful.  The pool was fab and not as deep as some other villa pools which I preferred.  The area was very nice and welcoming, not a lot of tourists but friendly locals.  Local  area had everything we needed and very good location for travelling to other areas such as Fethiye, Akkaya Gardens, Dalyan, Gocek, and Marmaris 1.5 hours by car.  A must is the local Turkish Hamaam -absolutely  amazing experience and very cheap.  We felt very comfortable and at home in the villa and it was very clean and tidy.  A/C in bedrooms, showers and jacuzzi all worked well.

If theres anything which was a bit negative was the lack of / slow communication from the owner prior to travel and the fact that the laundry wasnt collected once during our  10 day stay although it should have been collected twice a week. 

In addition the villa is in need of a little minor maintenance -a light switch came off in our hands, (we had to put it back together), a wardrobe door fell of the hinges and almost landed on my foot, the tap water in master en suite was very very weak and a towel rail fell off the wall.  These are things we wouldnt expect for the price paid for the villa and the otherwise lovely place we stayed in for 10 days.  However, it didnt spoil our trip as we were too busy having fun and did enjoy returning to  the villa each night for relaxation.

This Villa is one that certainly lives up to its name. The week that we spent at this villa was one of the best weeks of our lives. It offered peace and tranquillity, beautiful surroundings and breath taking views, provided us with everything we needed, nothing was missed out. superb service and help from the manager MEHMET, who helped us everyday with bookings activities and travelling to ensure we had an excellent time. The villa has been made with love and provides every holiday essential you can think of. You can save suitcase space as the villa comes equipt with plenty of sun lotion of all factors, celotape, swim gear, cooking condiments, hairdryer, shampoo, toothbrushes etc. everything you need has been thought of and provided for to ensure you are looked after and this made our holiday completely stress free and relaxing. It is situated in a very quiet area, you will not get bothered with traffic noise or noisy neighbours. You have gorgeous mountain views from the garden and was the perfect place to escape the stressful life of London and soak up the sun whilst relaxing in peace and having quality time with family. We couldnt have enjoyed our stay at villa joy more then we did and would definitely recommend this villa to anyone wanting a beautiful and peaceful place to stay and relax with the option of having fun too. There are plenty of things to do in nearby towns- camel riding, beautiful outside restaurants, boat trips, turtle beach, jeep safari, river rafting, quad biking, markets, etc. The only downside was our stay was not long enough, we didnt want to leave!!! Thank you Steve and Elaine for your perfect villa. We had a fantastic holiday and hope to revisit soon!

this house was so beautiful and everything one could possibly need for a holiday was provided even down to hair straighteners and beach / pool towels.  The house is in a great area with easy travel to lots of beaches and towns, mud baths, Turkish bath,  diving, the gorge etc., and with the house manager (Mehmet) anything can be arranged easily 24/7.
All dealings with the owners were easy and they do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
Dalaman itself has many shops,  cafes and restaurants, most of which will pick up and dro p off at the villa if you need them to. In Dalaman we would recommend Cinar restaurant, Silver Café Bar (at the far end just behind the Front Street) and the café in the park at the far end of Dalaman.  We also went twice to the Treehouse restaurant which is in beautiful surroundings with great food.
The service for the house is second to none and the Turkish people are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble.
We would definitely recommend this property and this area of Turkey to all our friends and family. 
Hopefully we will be able to come back and stay at this property again.  Thanks for a letting us use your home.

We had an excellent two week holiday in this beautiful, spacious and well equiped villa - not having to bring beach towels what a relief - helps with the miserly baggage allowance!

The villa has an ideal pool that has plenty of natural shading which ensured a pleasant temperature even in the heat of the midday sun.  The terrace provides a great place for dining and the bar-be-que is a nice touch.  
The managment staff were exceptionally helpful but not intrusive.  
We thought the location of the villa was ideal for touring the various towns and beaches along this stretch of coast line, however we were just as content to laze around the pool listening to the occasional sounds of a farm animal or two!

Villa Joy was a place of sheer bliss  and tranquility for my husband and I, a little taste of paradise! We went to celebrate our anniversary coupled with Eid and found a gem never to be forgotten.
As first time renters abroad we were absolutely delighted with where we had come to stay. From the start the booking process was easy and the link with the owners made it a reassuring process, where all our questions were answered.
The villa itself was amazing, I still miss being there. It was homely, extremely peaceful and full of all the necessary home comforts (utility room- wow!). The swimming pool was fantastic, not deep just right, within a lovely private, walled garden. Ideal for both couples and familes with young children.
Mehmet the manager was a great help and had lovely manners and consideration for us all the time. Ramzan would come every morning and clean the pool. Both were non-intrusive and always most willing to help.
The surrounding villas were at a distance and privacy was still maintained. The neighbours were friendly, when seen, which added to the atmosphere. Most touchingly the local residents were extremely warm and welcoming, whereby we would often be given gifts of different fruits, freshly picked off their trees, as we walked back from the centre of Dalaman.
We managed to enjoy our stay with getting out and about on foot, felt great walking about in the sun. The town centre was about 20-25 minutes walk away, with the large supermarket being on route (10-15 minutes). The high street of Dalaman has many shops and a few eating places (little cafes) jotted around. Dalaman market is every Thursday, fantastic things to buy and a really nice atmosphere. A must is trying the cheese, mince or veg like pancakes- delicious!
On the far end of the high street was the bus station and tourist guide, offering many places to visits, which are 40 minutes to an hours drive away by bus/coach.
Also opposite the bus station was a beautiful mosque, amazing calligraphy inside and most welcoming of everyone. 
If you wished to eat out there are many restaurants which offer  a pick-up and dro p-off service. Some of the best ones were Botanik, Cinar and Akkaya Gardens.
Overall the villa and surrounding area is perfect for those wanting a taste of ease and relaxation. I would highly recommend this villa to all and cant wait to return soon. Thankyou Stephen and Elaine.

We loved Villa Joy, ideally located.  Villa spacious and clean, lovely outside seating area and great pool, ideal for the kids.  Nice and private too.  Good thing with restaurants they picked you up and took you for the meal and dro pped you back at no cost.  would definitely go again.  Serigerme beach nearby - great there too.

 From Leeds

We had a fantastic 2 weeks at Villa Joy,we couldnt of wanted more.Everything ,right down to adapters, were provided.
Our transfer to &amp; from the villa was sorted,even though we were delayed by over an hour &amp; car hire was provided by Mehmet at a very good rate.
The villa is within an hours drive from so many places we didnt get to see them all, but at the same time we had the luxury of peace &amp; quiet sat in the garden by the pool when we wanted to relax.
The market in town is very good &amp; the supermarket has a good selec tion of things.There are also some very good restaurants near by who will pick you up &amp; bring you home free of charge.
An absolutely lovely place to enjoy Turkey.

 From Poole,dorset

Villa Joy is very well equipped, private and tranquil. Steve and Elaine have thought of every thing possible to make it home from home. You can even pick fresh lemons for your G&amp;T.
Excellent appliances, large supermarket ten minutes flat walk, nearest restaurant (Cinar) ten minute walk . Dalaman Central 20 minutes walk from villa where there are taxis, dolmus and coaches (Fethiye every 30 minutes cost 8TL per person air conditioned coach, approx one hour travelling). Would appeal to anyone wanting the real Turkey. Loved it.
