The unit itself is very nice and a good value from what I have seen for beach properties. As far as location, it is in a tall high rise building and the biggest issue were the elevators are always full and hard to access and the building is located in a very congested area as far as people and traffic so be prepared for that. You do not necessarily need a rental car here because there is a 7-11 right across the street and a Wal-Mart less than a mile that you can cross the bridge (there is a walkway and is used very frequently by foot traffic) to get supplies for the unit. It is about 2 miles from old Hollywood Beach where a lot of the restaurants are and we used Lift to get back and forth. The staff at the resort are very nice and helpful and I was impressed with the staff that worked at Hyde Hotel and they have a nice private beach where they have a staff that manages the beach chairs, towels and does set up for you but again, for the number of people in the building this area is very congested. There is a public beach and access right by the Hyde Hotel and the rental has chairs, towels and an umbrella in it and you do not have to pay the resort $25/day resort fee and can walk over and use the public beach which is not near as congested which had we known before paying the resort fee, we would have done this. As far as the the rental, it is very nice with a nice flor plan and large balcony that has a side view of the ocean the the waterway. The bedding is very comfortable and the unit has everything you need for a nice stay. All and all, we were very pleased the the rental itself and enjoyed our stay.
