My partner and I absolutely loved our vacation out in Hollywood Beach at John's place! We stayed from Mon - Sat, Dec 6 - 11th, and the weather was perfect -- we felt like we were in paradise being only a minute's walk to a beautiful, calm, uncrowded beach every day. John was so accommodating and made the check in easy for us - even after we had a problem with our rental car and arrived later at night (don't book with Ace Rental Car, terrible!!) He was super chill the entire trip and did not rush us to check out the last day either.
John runs a great place out on Hollywood Beach! The area was peaceful and quiet, but it was only a short walk to the more lively Broadwalk areas with bars, restaurants, and live music at multiple places almost every night. I also recommend going to Mamacitas Latin Bar & Grill for breakfast and grabbing the Cuban coffee. We had so much fun and felt very comfortable there. John was very present and is a very nice guy - loves to crack a joke and make you feel welcome. He is very knowledgeable about the area, responsive to any requests we had, and just plain cool.
The room had absolutely everything we needed for the beach - chairs, umbrella, towels, sunscreen, lotion, and more. John also supplied a parking permit and it was very easy to find a spot on his street the whole week. We took advantage of being less than an hour's drive away from Miami and other attractions, like the Flamingo Gardens, as well as some good restaurants in the area. We recommend this place and would come back in the future.
