Cute little spot, 5 of us stayed here comfortably.

We were unsure if bedding was clean or not. TV was very difficult to operate Location was great.

I stay here often. This time I paid double the amount and was given unit 9. It says deluxe king with sofa bed. More like a crap king no deluxe and no sofa bed. The stove doesn’t work. Stains and just pure disgust through the entire unit. An awful smell. I’ve contacted host and they want to argue so I’m going to dispute this charge as I have requested compensation for terrible web description. We had to buy another hotel during our stay. I could not stay in that filthy unit!

While in close proximity to the beach, this rental is quite honestly disgusting. There are bugs everywhere and I had to wear my shoes in the shower it was that disgusting. Visible signs of mold in the shower and all throughout the bathroom. The tiles are lifting in the bedroom. The property advertises free parking however there are only 7 spots for 10 vehicles. As there is no reception office - i had to text about it and did not receive a response as to where to park. I had to pay for street parking which was $85.50USD. When we arrived early I messaged about early check in and while the room wasn’t ready I was still given access to the room to put our luggage in which was nice and much appreciated but further texts about where to park went unanswered. The walls are paper thin and we could hear all conversation in the surrounding rooms, all noises (yes allllll), people showering and even hear everyone sitting in provided chairs outside.

Good

First, the positives: The place is located near the southern end of the broadwalk, which is much quieter and more pleasant. You don’t have restaurants blasting their music till 1 AM! Also, while not beachfront, it is literally a few steps from the beach. Now, the negatives: the bathtub had stains and dirt rings, and we took showers wearing our beach slippers to avoid potential athlete’s foot. They have a plug-in scent diffuser spreading strong scent in the home. We unplugged it, and the place started to smell musty and moldy. The windows cannot be opened; in fact, the venetian blinds cannot be lifted (the mechanism is disabled); so there can be no fresh air entering the home (the exception is bathroom/toilet, where the little window is the only “vent”, there is no vent fan to remove foul air!!!!). The towels smelled musty, not fresh. We cooked our food and the kitchen was inadequately equipped (“two” teaspoons, really?). Overall, disappointed.

Beach was a short walk along with several food options. Never was too far from anywhere that we could not walk to

Hollywood beach was great

The pros to this location are the location and the parking. The property managers are very communicative before and during your stay. However, I will probably not stay there again. I stay in Hollywood Beach often so I’m familiar with the area and the type of properties there. I was aware that I was staying in a dated building and it was likely to look a bit worn out in some spots but this goes a bit beyond that. The unit we stayed in needs a deep cleaning, some repairs, and at the very least a fresh coat of paint to freshen things up a bit. To be fair, I did not tell them this while I was there since it wasn’t an immediate concern.

There were definitely some cleanliness issues. There toilet leaked around the base when you sit. The shower curtain was too short so water was everywhere!! Did appreciate the vicinity to the boardwalk and the washing machine and dryer available. But be aware...there is one of each for all of the units to share!
