I loved this place so much because the grounds feel like a resort, so, I want to keep coming back with such frequently that I’ll call it my second home.
This condo is spacious.
It actually has two Queen beds in the bedroom, two Queen sized futons in the living room, a pack-n-play in the bedroom closet, and bed linens for all, including a crib sheet for the pack-n-play.
In addition to sheets and towels, the condo is stocked with at least 3 beach towels, sand toys, 2 boogie boards, a beach umbrella, 3 backpack style beach chairs, folding camping chairs, small coolers and cold packs to take to the beach.
The beds are pretty comfortable and I’m not missing my Tempurpedic mattress at home.
The condo building is on the sandy beach on Hollywood Beach. The beach does also have a rental service to rent a lounge and umbrella for the day, week, or month, but we were so grateful to use the chairs and umbrellas provided in the condo.
Laundry is available 2 washers and dryers on the floor, and the card from the previous guest is still in the unit. The laundry is $3 to wash and $3 to dry.
The apartment has a deck with a bistro table and 4 chairs, with a view of the Doubletree Suites, the intercostal waterway, and city views.
The apartment kitchen is furnished with dishes, utensils, cookware, plus, a drip coffee maker, electric hot water kettle, blender, pizza pans, ice cream scoop, and salad tongs. We found a big pitcher under the oven and filled it with water to keep in the fridge.
We came in on a red eye flight and debated trying not to check in just past midnight. Daniel and his staff were so helpful and gave exact instructions on how to park, the valet attendant was 24 hours, then how to access the apartment at night, and they would come by and do their check-in the next day. This place was clean and Daniel was responsive when we needed something during our stay. My husband almost didn’t want to book because the $500 cash deposit seemed shady, but it was returned in cash to us when we checked out, which was so reassuring.
Pro tip: the freezer has an ice maker. Daniel’s staff keeps the refrigerator spotless, and ice-free which seems sanitary to not leave ice that someone else may have touched. The ice maker is ready to release the ice when you fill the metal bar down.
