This was our first visit to Deerfield Beach and we had a lovely stay at Paula's property. The condo was as described and very clean upon arrival. We appreciated the beach towels, buckets, and nice beach chairs the host provided. The location was almost beachfront just a 3 minute walk from the sand. It was about a 15 minute walk to shops and restaurants and the pier. The beach was pretty, and less crowded than the area closer to the shops. There was A LOT of seaweed on the beach and in the water which my kids didn't love. This was our first visit to Deerfield Beach so not sure if this is typical of FL beaches or just this section in particular (or maybe we just came at a bad time). The pool was small, but we had it to ourselves most of the time-- the shaded cabana area was a nice spot to relax after a day of sun. There was a small maintenance issue in the condo during our stay that was completely out of our hosts control. However Paula went above and beyond to make our stay nice and fix the issue. She was incredibly responsive to all of our messages. We would definitely stay in Paula's property again!
