Worst place to stay would not rent
We rented the house for the pool as we get there late on the Fourth of July weekend, we get up the following morning to go swimming and the pool is filthy pump not running it won’t filter water, stagnant, water, black mold, and all the bathrooms several Air vents bugs in the house they refuse to give us a refund we rented strictly for a pool because we had a handicap gentleman with us. Hot water didn’t work half the time. I absolutely would never rent this or refer somebody to rent it. Horrible vacation stuck with this house, I would not recommend renting this house

Great Pool and Location
This is a fantastic house for a weekend getaway. On a quiet street next to a playground and near the canal. The location of the house is not too far from the beach, boardwalk, and restaurants. The pool and backyard made for nice relaxing times with plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen is very large with ample seating. We had 7 adults and did not feel cramped.

Great location, poorly stocked
The house is worn but mostly comfortable with a large kitchen, nice pool area, and TVs in all the bedrooms. Bedroom layout - there are two bedrooms with king beds. Then another master bedroom with a king bed a private bathroom, however one of the trundle beds is IN this bedroom, and the other trundle bed is THROUGH this bedroom. So if you have more than 6 people, you will be sharing a bedroom or having people walking through your bedroom. It's important to know that many basic necessities are not supplied. We shared these concerns via phone and in writing with the owner.. Unless noted, prepare to provide all these items yourself! * the house says it sleeps 10, but there are only 9 bath towels * no hand towels at all * no wash clothes * no pool or beach towels * no dish towels * no dishwasher soap * no laundry soap * no hand soap for kitchen or bathrooms * there are not enough pillows for all of the beds * there are three extra large square pillows in the closet (not really for sleeping on) but no pillow cases * 4 forks (silverware was delivered) * 6 drinking glasses (more were delivered) * Skillets are destroyed and too small for large families (set of pots with two skillets was delivered) *No shelf in toaster oven (new toaster oven delivered) The lack of towels was most upsetting. Had to use bath towels for the pool, then towels were dirty when you wanted to shower. Also nothing in the kitchen like tin foil, cooking spray, salt, etc. No instructions on trash removal.

Not as pictured. Worst rental we have ever stayed in
Pros: great location. Easy walk to beach and a small playground next door which is great for little ones. Backyard is great. Easy communication with management. Cons: This house is not as pictured. We had major issues right away with moisture. The condensation inside house made it very uncomfortable and we debated leaving which we have never had to do in over 15yrs renting. It was two adults and two toddlers. My daughter developed an allergy to we assume mold or air irritant in house for which we had to go out and get allergy medication. We decided to dry out house ourselves by opening all windows(which were ALL broken). Management responded quickly and had dehumidifiers mailed to house but we opted to leave windows open to circulate some air as I believe this is an hvac issue. All sheets and couches were actually wet to touch. Other issues which we have never encountered before. This house is basically a place to sleep. The kitchen is bare! Not even dishwasher pods to run dishwasher. No outdoor garbage cans to bring trash to so we had to pile it in garage. Literally nothing in there at all. Like previous reviews mentioned the fence is broken making it difficult to get in and out. Floors are warped. Wood floors in kitchen have water damage(likely from moisture issue again). Also no pool towels for a house that has a pool we thought this was strange and annoying to have to pack our own. Overall, I can’t believe how high of ratings this house was. It is very overpriced for what it is. We attempted to stay out of the house as much as possible. We would never return despite easy communication with management.

Not as pictured with a nice pool and timely communication
Let's start with the good stuff. The house was close to the beach, playground, and ten minutes from any food or CVS. The pool was clean and perfectly tempered. The reason why we gave it three stars is because the house needs some big time updating. The wood floors are a mess and scratched everywhere (there are rugs hiding the worst areas). The kitchen lacked basic amenities like salt, pepper, napkins, glasses(we found a few cracked ones), paper towels (we ran out on the first day). The bathrooms had no toilet paper holders, the mirrors were rusted, the sink was missing the drain plug and there were ants on the floors on our last day. The towels were a mess. We found a dirty towel mixed in with the clean ones and there were no hand towels in any of the bathrooms. The hooks on the walls are broken or about to break. The fence door handle from the driveway is broken and hard to open. There lights and outlets that didn't work. I will leave my review like this, if you want a house close the beach and don't mind these issues, this house is for you.

Great Location
Overall we had a great stay. The house is in an awesome location as it relates to the beach (walking distance) and the park (right next door for those with kids). The pool is great and backyard as a whole was nice and spacious. The house does need some minor touch-ups, which was honestly kind of annoying. For example, some of the doors don't close because the handles need to be fixed. Bedroom fan doesn't work. Some outlets don't work. You can decide how import all of that is to you, but overall the house was great

Great location, close to beach, boardwalk and many restaurants
The location was great. Easy walk to beach and boardwalk. The bedroom layout was a little different, but worked perfectly for our group. All the kids were able to stay together in the two connecting bedrooms, one of which leads to the pool. If you had 4 adult couples however, this might not be the best choice. Kitchen was maybe a little under stocked as others have mentioned, but I didn't think it was terrible. Plenty of utensils, pots and pans, dishes etc. Just don't expect things like a crockpot or blender. I also did really appreciate the second refrigerator in the garage and the washer and dryer. Plenty of bath towels, bedding and pillows. Definitely bring your own beach towels. Communication with Victor was excellent. Thank you for a great stay!

Hollywood Beach Stay
This property was a great location, clean, had enough sleeping arrangements to comfortably hold 10 people, nice pool area, and was within a short walking distance to the beach/boardwalk. If I were to travel with a big group again, this place would be the chosen place again! Victor was easy to get ahold of and responded promptly to our needs. The only thing I would advise is to bring your own beach towels, hand towels, and wash clothes as those were not provided.

Amazing location, needs a little TLC
We spent a great weekend at the house, we really enjoyed the area. It was an easy walk to the beach and boardwalk and there were plenty of restaurants near by. The house is older, which didn't bother us at all but the kitchen was missing a few key necessities if you are planning to cook in (like a can opener). The house is spacious and the 10 of us were perfectly comfortable there.

This property was awesome. There was an awesome pool area that we spent a lot of time at. There were also plenty of beds for everyone in our bachelor party. Only downside is that it was further than we wanted to be from Miami, but then the properties ear Miami are crazy expensive while this one was very well priced. The property manager was very responsive as well. I would definitely recommend for anyone who has a large party!

The house was great. The house doesn’t have nearly enough towels for 10 people and for some reason no pillow cases on a lot of pillows. The TVs throughout the house were also difficult to use and find channels. Most places now days have rokus or something where you can log into your own platforms such as Netflix or Hulu. Other than that the location of the house is great. We played on the playground next door, swam in the pool., which is perfect for small kids with the shallow end setup and the beach was like a 10 minute walk with kids and stuff! The kids didn’t mind the walk because we got to go over the drawbridge which they thought was awesome! Overall the house is great for people with kids.

Excellent walking location- but should be a 3 bedroom
Great residential location. 10 minute walk to boardwalk where you have access to several beachfront bars and restaurants. Right out the back gate is a marina on the bay. Parking for 4 cars in driveway. Excellent fenced in yard. Grassy area and pool patio. Backyard was very spacious. Front yard is fenced, also. Nice washer and dryer (in the attached garage, which was no big deal). Here’s what you need to know: Two of the bedrooms have king beds and share a bath in the hallway between them. The THIRD and FOURTH bedrooms are connected- you have to walk THROUGH bedroom 3 (which is spacious!) to enter bedroom 4 (which is small with a trundle bed). So... if you have little kids staying with their parents, this is fine. If you have 4 adult couples- it’s weird and doesn’t work. Bedroom 3 and 4 have small bathroom INSIDE of bedroom 3. Again- small children in bedroom 4, fine. Grown up couples, awkward. House was fine. It’s kinda worn out, but we are used to that when we select rentals that allow dogs. One other thing you want to know: this house had ZERO hot pads/oven mits, wash cloths, hand towels, kitchen rags or dish towels. Zero. And ZERO pans to go in the oven. Couldn’t make pizza rolls, cinnamon rolls, hot oven appetizers. Very annoying. This management company only needs to spend $100 to make it more on par with what you would expect to be provided. Owner was easy to contact. Home was safe and secure. Fenced in yard was awesome. Proximity to restaurants within walking distance was great.
