<p>When it comes to renting a private villa accommodation in a tropical paradise island like Bali, there is no doubt that beachfront villas are the most desired ones. The reasons are quite obvious and none of them are arguable. However, to most of villa rental clientele, renting a beachfront villas is just beyond their reach for various reasons, forcing them to finally settle down to different alternatives.</p>
<p>The most essential reason is price. Price of beachfront <a href="http://www.villarentalbali.com">Bali villas</a> are definitely more expensive than other villas with similar characteristics. The condition is worsened by the fact that most beachfront villas come at top-end characteristics. Among those characteristics are number of bedrooms. Most beachfront villas in Bali comes with large number of bedrooms like 5 or even more, which does not really fit to those traveling in smaller groups like small family.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-beachfront.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-757" title="cemagi-residence-beachfront" src="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-beachfront-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>    <a href="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-seafront.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-758" title="cemagi-residence-seafront" src="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-seafront-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>    <a href="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-seaside.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-759" title="cemagi-residence-seaside" src="http://holidest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cemagi-residence-seaside-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.villarentalbali.com/bali-villas/996/cemagi-residence.html">Villa Cemagi Residence</a> comes as a decent alternative to those traveling in small group but want to enjoy a truly beachfront villa living experience. Located right on the peaceful Cemagi beach, somewhere between Canggu and Tanah Lot on the south-west coast of Bali, the villa comes with 3 bedrooms, a perfect size for most small families.</p>
<p>But regardless of its rather small number of bedroom, Villa Cemagi Residence offers everything other beachfront villas have to offer, including ample plot of 18 acres of land.</p>
<p>Gazing the ocean and getting lulled by the ocean breeze in any part of the house, not only on the pool and the garden but also in the living room, dining room, and the bedrooms are your to enjoy, 14 hours a day. And anytime you want to have the sand on your foot, swim in the sea instead of swimming pool, and other seaside activities, you can have it right at your doorsteps anytime you want.</p>
