Maria was very pleasant and quite responsive to messages and questions. The unit, however, is in need of significant attention and repair to justify the cost of this location. While the common area furniture is new, there was not enough seating for 5 of us. For a unit that sleeps 9, additional chairs and/or couch are needed. We were quite uncomfortable and opted not to relax in the living room. The blinds are broken in several of the rooms and non functional in the living room. There was a strong cigarette smell in the unit. The bathroom sink was clogged and drained very slowly. There were several other things that really just needed a quick fix. Overall, it felt as though either upkeep has been ignored or the prior guests really did a number on the unit. We understand that normal wear and tear occurs, but this was beyond that. We were disappointed with the unit itself. The building is in a nice location if a quiet beach setting is what you want. The hollywood boardwalk is about 1.5 miles away which can be walked, but a bit far on the sand. Once the check in process was complete, parking was available, easy, and close.
