Perfect location - very nice condo - great hosts! I just spent the entire month of February 2021 here. The condo itself was exactly what I expected. The pictures are very accurate. If anything, it is even nicer in person than the pics. A unique feature of this condo is that it’s one of the few units in the building with a private balcony. The balcony itself doesn’t have a great view, as it’s on the back of the building, but it was the perfect place for me to dry my scuba equipment after my dives.
The view from the living room is spectacular. The location of the condo on the north end of the Broadwalk is outstanding. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent in the lawn chairs in the common area - day and night - just watching the ocean and the people on the Broadwalk. The other residents and guests were very welcoming as well. I’m not typically a morning person, but my nearly-daily routine was to wake up 1/2 hour before sunrise, make a cup of coffee, watch the sunrise, then go for an early bike ride on the Broadwalk, which is about 2.5 miles long - or 5 miles round trip. In addition to bike riding and scuba, I fell in love with kayaking through the mangroves, which you can do at two nearby state parks. The Broadwalk itself is fabulous with lots of shops, bars, and restaurants. Downtown Hollywood, downtown Ft. Lauderdale, and the FLL airport are all a short drive away.
Vanessa and Marino were very responsive from the very first contact. They went above and beyond to make my stay very comfortable. Here’s an example: Although TV typically is not that important to me on vacation, I did want to watch the Super Bowl. And because of COVID, I didn’t want to go to a crowded sports bar. Vanessa and Marino actually installed cable TV just so I could watch the Super Bowl. As I said, above and beyond.
I loved Hollywood Beach and the surrounding area so much that I decided to move there. As of April 1, I will be living year-round on the south end of the Broadwalk. I highly recommend Hollywood Beach as a destination, and this condo as the perfect place to experience Hollywood Beach.
