Original apt we rented, unit #3, the windows were old/broken and did not close, which was obviously why a recent VRBO review indicated it was constant traffic noise since the apt faces the main road. However, Marco quickly responded, came out right away and resolved by moving us to an adjacent unit #2 that was in the middle and quiet. The very next day he was having the windows replaced in #3. To say he is a responsive and helpful host is an understatement! Additionally, he gave us some items from the original unit to use in the other that were helpful. The pull out mattress in the living area was rather hard, so we used the air bed from the other unit on it for comfort. Also an extra blanket as it got cool some nights.
Marco truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay in beautiful Hollywood was a good one.
In 8 nights we used the washer/dryer once (bring quarters - each takes $2).
Beach chairs are provided and real nice. Beach towels are also provided, however we used our own.
The kitchen was pretty well equipped, however I suggested he add a non-stick fry pan and more kitchen linens...but maybe I'm just that weird guest that likes to cook rather than always eat at all the great restaurants on the Broadwalk!
It is so great that the beach and Broadwalk is just steps away. It is a perfect location. Even has a nice patio for sitting outside in the morning and evening.
Once you are there, you really don't need a car. We did go into downtown Hollywood once but the restaurants there were no better than the Broadwalk. The Taco Spot is a favorite. We also liked that we could just walk/drive over to the intercoastal side and watch the sunset at one of the restaurants over on that side. Le Tub is awesome for their fish dip, gumbo and amazing burgers (if you can stand the long wait for anything off the grill). It is a must do, even if you just go for drinks/appetizers.
We've been to Hollwood three times, twice before in a hotel. This was more expensive, but definitely more comfortable to rent a home through VRBO.
We would definitely stay here again. Marco, thank you for a very pleasant stay!
