I stayed at Robyn's apartment the week of July 4th 2018. It's a brand new refurbished apartment near the beach. I was the first guest and beta tester so I got a special rate. I was lucky to find it because all the other places I wanted were unavailable. There was excellent and continuous communication throughout the visit. Robyn was always responsive and available.
Overall this is a nicely done apartment. And very important. The Location, Location, Location, is excellent! The apartment is literally two blocks from Deerfield Beach, the pier, restaurants and local shops. No need to worry about paid parking and not finding a spot on crowded days. The beaches in this area are very nice, safe, and well maintained. North of the pier is a well manicured, calm, and sedate area. South of the pier is the unofficial hangout for the local Brazilian population. It is a lot more lively and interesting in my opinion. And who knows you might get lucky and meet a girl from Ipanema. One Street over is also a very popular and excellent Brazilian restaurant and bar named Barracuda. Great food, drinks, happy hour, and live music.
The apartment styling/layout is very efficient and nicely done. There are plenty of towels and the bed is comfortable. I even asked for a toaster and Robyn let me purchase one. There is a small kitchen area with hot plate, microwave, refrigerator, sink, etc. The bathroom is also nicely done which is a big plus. After a long day at the beach, you need a relaxing shower and this one delivers.
The unit also has a marked parking spot. I met some of the tenants in the apartment complex and they were welcoming and introduced themselves. One more thing I liked was the electronic door lock with key pad. Yeah! No need to carry around a set of keys. The lock worked perfectly and was easy to operate.
I brought a bicycle with me and discovered there were many nice bike rides in this area. Not far from the apartment along the intracoastal waterway is a beautiful residential area which continues all the way to Boca Raton. It is well worth the ride or a nice pleasant walk or run.
There was one issue during my stay with the AC unit being too cold. Although in Florida I would rather have it cold than hot. For some reason there is no local thermostat control and the central unit was blowing a lot of cold air. Robyn installed some new vents and by opening or closing them I was able to keep the apartment at a very comfortable temperature.
Overall this was a great experience suitable for 1-3 persons looking for an apartment near the beach. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice Place, Nice Location, Nice Host.
