Marco's place is a special find. It is basic, but very clean and the location is unbeatable. A few steps from the beach and the boardwalk, close to restaurants and several small convenience stores. There is a small convenience store at the Hotel right across the street open till at least 2 am. There are several Publics stores 7-10 min drive away. We did not have a car and it was just fine because everything was either within walking distance or very easily accessible by Uber/ Lyft.
I was impressed by the thought put into making the place comfortable and enjoyable - a brand new sponge for the dishes, clean kitchen towers, a hair dryer, free coffee and creamer, even a hair moisturizing spray... The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare a meal at home. We really appreciated the beach umbrellas, chairs and towers that Marco had left for us. We loved the large porch with patio chairs and tables. The patio was perfect for the hot early afternoons and the evenings.
Marco was very accessible, kind and helpful with ideas about places to visit.
Hollywood is small, walkable and perfect for a family, relaxed vacation. The beach is large and not very crowded.
Thanks Marco!
