The home is well laid out and a short 2 -3 blocks to the beach. For those reasons I would recommend staying here.
Just know going in the house is bare bones. Very sterile, you can definitely tell it is managed by a company rather than someone with pride of ownership. Lots of rules intended to protect their property and keep their costs down, not necessarily a 5star experience for guests.
No toiletries, no games, pots and pans but nothing else in the kitchen. We wanted to make brownies but there were no baking pans. A salt and pepper shaker left over from other guests, other than that no condiments or anything …A hotel size shampoo (no conditioner) and a mini bar of soap were the only items other than toilet paper. The backyard is nice but gets full Sun exposure. There was an umbrella broken at the base so useless and worn loungers with no cushions. With zero shade the pool was extremely warm and back yard unbearable during the day. There is a table but we only ate outside once after the sun went down.
All of these things are just FYI as I understand, not necessities in a listing. I sent a message asking if they would like me to leave the non-perishable items like shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, coffee, etc that we could not take on the plane for other guests, but I got a generic pre-scripted message back - more about the lack luster communication below.
Personally I would not stay in this home or rent from PMI again due to the communication.
Upon arrival I sent a message through Airbnb with a video of ants all over the guest bathroom. The response was “what property is this?” Then, “ok I’ll tell maintenance.” Four days later no one came out, called, or followed up. The AC is on a timer and the two front bedrooms which must be an addition are very warm. There is a sign that says guests cannot turn it down below 74deg!
After confirming that we could turn it down because it was blazing in the two rooms my kids needed to sleep in, the house cooled off but I awoke at 5am to the AC now back to 80deg! So it was a constant battle to keep the house cool in August. Yes, Fernando responds quickly but there was no action taken so I didn't bother messaging about the umbrella or anything else. He must manage multiple homes and I'm not sure is even in the area or familiar with this property as I had to go back and forth about what type of AC unit it was and also I messaged about Uber from the airport and responded he did not know.
So it’s a updated home in a great location. If that is all you need go for it! To be fair, we rented a home in Fort Lauderdale in April as well and the host was so amazing and provided wonderful extras that really enhanced our stay, so this experience was sort of a let down coming from that. I usually do not need much and prefer to have as little interaction with hosts while we are vacationing, however this time I should have taken the other reviews of lack of assistance and defensiveness when other guests reached out specifically about bugs in the house. Mind you, I lived in Miami, I am accostomed to S. Florida critters, but I also do expect that if I am paying a premium to rent a home that my concerns are addressed.
I’d also say this a single family home. Even though it is large, the master and en suite bathroom is massive in comparison to the other rooms with a shared hall bathroom. It would be kinda awkward with multiple couples unless pre-arranged who gets the master. And as mentioned the heat in the front rooms is a real issue.
