Nicole’s home is the epitome of a five star Airbnb. We were not only amazed at how clean it was (spotless) but at just how much thought she has put into it. The decoration is very tasteful inside and out, the beds and couches were very comfortable, there were plenty of clean towels (bath, hand, beach, and washcloths), clearly indicated spare sheets if needed, beach chairs and an umbrella, etc.
The house is steps away from Hollywood Beach and “Broadwalk.” Because it is on the lower section of the “Broadwalk,” the beach is unbelievably quiet. At times it almost felt private. This being said, it is only a short walk to some phenomenal restaurants. There is also a bike rental shop between the house and the busy part of the beach which is unbelievably convenient.
I was happy to run into Nicole on our first day after our seamless, contact free check in (which was accommodated early on short notice because of an early landing). She is an extremely warm person and is very knowledgeable about the area. She also had almost immediate response times throughout the stay. All in all, we spent quite some time looking at stays in this area and realized a vast majority of the properties are owned by hotels. Not only is this run by a real, kind homeowner, but it was an unbelievable value for the area.
