What a great place for us to stay during our visit to southern Florida. We were greeted by Thad and Eduardo when we arrived, after driving all day and ready to relax. He's an excellent host who puts his heart and soul into making his guests feel at home. It's clear that he's designed the living space, both inside and out, with an emphasis on clean lines and comfort. The kitchen had every appliance we needed and more. While not a large place, it's well laid out giving my wife and I just we needed for a few days while we visited family. The bed and bedding were super comfortable. The wireless is excellent. Getting up in the morning, we made breakfast and ate on the patio, which was very cool and creatively designed. Thad stopped by as we relaxed in the warm Florida breezes to chat, asking if we needed anything and offering an umbrella for the beach and bikes if we wanted to cruise around the area. We're from New England, so we felt a little out of our element in Florida, but Thad made us feel right at home. We were totally impressed with how he designed the back patio area and enjoyed talking with him, sharing stuff about himself and us telling him about some of the places we were discovering during our stay.
He had a lot to deal with after the hurricane made landfall only a few weeks before we arrived, but the property was all cleaned up and ready for guests. The property was really clean, inside and out.
If you appreciate art pottery, especially 19th century British pottery, OR like art glass like René Lalique and Dale Chihuly, be sure to check out the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts (WMODA) just down the road - less than two miles away! And, of course, there is Hollywood Beach, which was still undergoing some clean up work still a really interesting place to visit and stop for a bite to eat and a beer.
The location was perfect for us, giving us access to local beaches and Miami. Five stars in our opinion. Thanks Thad!
