This was our first time staying at Hollywood Beach, and it really is a "hidden gem." The location of this place is only a couple blocks from the beach and near all the restaurants, ice cream, and amenities. So for what we were looking for this was perfect. I only rated our stay as a 4 due to a couple of things. The beach chairs and umbrella could be upgraded. We ended up renting chairs and an umbrella every day since the ones provided were not great. The biggest downfall is the layout of the apartment building. A few of our nights were ruined by other guests being loud. This is obviously nothing the host could fix since "quiet hours" are clearly posted, but some individuals choose not to respect it. Unfortunately, we will probably choose a different type of building due to others ruining it for us. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and the host was very responsive and constantly checking in on our needs.
