Al was a great host. We had to book his place while on our way to Florida for an unfortunate family emergency. We contacted him letting him know why we were booking and our expected arrival time, and he made arrangements with the front desk to allow us to check in when needed. The process to check in was easy. Staff at the Hyde is very friendly. The condo itself was a great size for two people. When booking an Airbnb on the beach, how often is one indoors? Lovely balcony. We left the curtains open so the light would wake us up and we could catch the sunrise on the beach. Breathtaking. The Hyde pool is beautiful. One of the nicest in the area, including the bar! Happy hour is 4-7pm! Great views all around. Lots of security guards … we weren’t sure the reason for that but better safe than sorry I guess. One thing to note in the condo: We noticed that you can’t leave the bedroom sliding door open for too long because the smoke alarm goes off. Not sure if this was a safety thing… but once closed, the alarm will eventually stop. Overall it was a great stay with a very great host who was top notch with communication! It’s very helpful to have someone who communicates and is overall a genuinely nice person. Thank you Al! We appreciate you!
