Walk to the Beach, Stroll Around the Lake, Relax Under Tiki Hut

Our family just returned from our stay in this Hollywood gem. The home was extremely clean and very spacious for our large family. Upon arrival, Gregory greeted us and answered any questions that we had. We felt very welcome. In addition, Luanne the owner, allowed us to check in early, since our flight landed at 9:30 a.m. We have stayed in many rentals and were never allowed this flexibility with checkin. This was so helpful since we have the four kids who we wanted to get settled after their trip. The Tiki hut was a quiet and cool space to relax and read and unwind. A great advantage was the wonderful location of this home. It was so easy to access A1A, which is the main road on the coast and provided such convenience. I would say that the only thing that would make this property even more appealing would be having a pool. This certainly is not a criticism of any kind...but a mere suggestion as we travelled with young children and during the week the beach surf was too rough for them to swim. I know that they would have stayed happily housebound if there were a private pool. However, we would stay at this property again in the future and would recommend it to other potential guests for sure! Thank you again Luanne and Gregory!

We loved our week so close to the Hollywood boardwalk. We did not have to wait on each other, you woke up and would just walk to the beach first thing catching the sunrise and getting your first coffee.- The house is spacey, with an open kitchen, and a terasse convenently protected by a tiki roof for outside dinners with bbq from the grill. The bathrooms are modern, and the beds wide and comfortable. The area os totally quiet allowing for many good nights of sleep. The new Publix in Hollywood is not far and has everything you need, including a parking garage. Enjoy, we will definitely come back.

The good:

- The location is superb. Super easy access to the beach/boardwalk. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Awesome.

- Owner/property manager were responsive and kind.

- Outdoor tiki hut is fantastic and a great place to relax.

- Beds and furniture were all comfortable.

- Kitchen is well-stocked with cookware, etc. We did purchase a filtered water pitcher to stay with the house.

Could use work:

- There are two thermostats in the house, which is not at all obvious (nor explained). The one in the kitchen is visible and we assumed that handled the whole house. The 2nd one is not obvious, and we finally discovered it on the 3rd night of our stay after having temperature issues.

- 3 of the 4 patio lights did not work. They were fixed during our stay.

- The rainfall showerhead in the east bathroom is non-functional.

- It was great to have a pack n play for our baby, but it is old and very stained.

- It was also great having the 4 bikes, but 2 of the bikes have flat tires that need new tubes, and one of the others has some serious chain/gear troubles that could use some attention.

Aside from the thermostat, these were all very minor issues. However, I think the house is a bit overpriced given some of the lack of attention to detail. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. We would stay again if these are addressed and/or the price lowered a bit.

We stayed at this home for a week at Christmas with our 4 adult children. We love to cook as a family and we sure weren`t disappointed with the kitchen. Very well equiped.

This place was exactly what we were told it was.

We were welcomed with a great basket filled with munchies, which we appreciated very much. The owner was very accessible and answered all our questions and more.

This property is in a beautiful area and very quiet. It`s also a short walk to the beach so you don`t have to worry about parking.

They even have beach chairs you can borrow.

This is a great place to spend a vacation.

Is not only about the house's location, and by the way, Its location is one of the best. It is how well has been. The house was sparkling clean, and geared up for all of us to enjoy it to the max! Beautiful patio with Barbacue, bathrooms and kitchen recently updated, but up to the details of providing beach towels, chairs, and parasols. Louanne and her husband are by far the perfect hosts for anyone who comes there and they will make sure to make your stay as convenient and as delightful as possible.
