I rented this house for a long overdue two-night family getaway which included my 91-year-old mom. The house itself is in a great location with wonderful ocean views but the furniture (mainly outdoor,) kitchen ware, sheets, and overall cleanliness of the house was very disappointing. There were numerous issues which were addressed in real-time by the property management company.
Pros: Location and size of house with the ability to accommodate a large family or two couples travelling together.
Cons: 1) No actual coffee maker - there's a Keurig machine available with a VERY limited number of pods - Folger's coffee in a pod is really not going to do it for those who enjoy real coffee in the morning. For those of us who enjoy a good strong cup of coffee in a coffeemaker or a coffee press, knowing that there’s only a Keurig machine at the property should be clearly mentioned on the listing for this vacation rental homeowner's/property management company. 2) Stains on pillowcases and sheets on both the master bedroom comforter and bedding downstairs on the queen bed. Also, the comforter on the King bed in the Master bedroom was covered with a layer of sand which my husband and I had to shake off outside, cutting into our overall getaway. We could have thrown it in the dryer but the dryer itself had a significant amount of sand in it so that didn’t seem like a good idea. All of that said, given the dollar amount per night for this vacation rental and the cleaning fee, everything (especially the bedding) should be absolutely spotless and in excellent condition! 3) Master bedroom is in the back of the house which did have some street noise late at night and early in the morning. I would hope that the largest and nicest room in the house should be facing the ocean versus the street but that's something that's not mentioned in the advertised listing. 4) Toilet seats are off center in both of the upstairs bathrooms. It seems like this place had a remodel but things such as the toilet seats were done very cheaply and not adjusted correctly. Again, very surprising and disappointing for the dollar amount! 5) Outdoor furniture both upstairs and downstairs was dirty and cheap.
To recap, I think that there are better places to stay on Hollywood Beach and wouldn't recommend this property unless the Homeowner's and the property management company step things up and address many of the issues mentioned above.
