I really wanted to give this a five star review because I can tell that they are a good company and are good people however, it was a bit rough. The location is great in terms of getting to Hollywood Beach and areas close to it but if you’re trying to get to Miami plan on at least an hour. When I stress this next to you, I can’t stress this enough, DO NOT plan on making 1 ounce of noise and I know that sounds silly but the amount of messages we got on how much noise we were not allowed to make was appalling. Directly after we met the cancellation timeline I was inundated with several several messages on how we basically we’re not allowed to do anything, say anything, or be any kind of “annoyance” to any kind of neighbors …I find this really hysterical because when we pulled up they were blaring music and all I heard was a barking dog from the direct neighbor next-door, constantly! I did address that with the owners of this home that we were staying in and it was kind of brushed off in a matter of “oh well, follow my rules”. I also want to stress to you that there are cameras everywhere and when I mean everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE. I addressed this when I made the reservation and I was told they was only one, the ring doorbell, however they are literally everywhere outside this home. When I say everywhere I am telling you I counted at least six and they are pointed directly at the pool and all the way around the outside of the home. They also have voice leveling cameras as well! We were a group of professionals there for a tradeshow and I did tell them this several several several times and I felt like my privacy was being infringed upon so much! I was uncomfortable, my guess were uncomfortable, my employees were uncomfortable and I felt like it was the worst trip of my life! There were a few problems with the home and to their credit they wanted to fix it however, I felt like again my privacy would be infringed upon and I felt like it was another excuse to check up on what we were doing which was really nothing. Then the fact that they wanted to have landscapers and have people there to the home is again I feel another tactic to “check up” on you and I had to state that my legal team was there with privacy and confidential paperwork and I could not have this happen. Bottom line they shouldn’t rent houses they shouldn’t rent homes they shouldn’t rent apartments if they are going to make the people who spend over 8grand a week to rent them feel like they are in a prison and they can’t even breathe or have any kind of fun. It’s not the middle of Miami it’s Hollywood the reason we stayed in Hollywood was to stay away from the nonsense of Miami and I did stressless to them as well and I felt like my entire trip I was so stressed out that I even hurt myself because I was constantly trying to be mindful of someone else’s nonsense. Again they seem to be kind they seem to be nice however they seem to be a bit much and I would never rent from them again in my entire life, nor would any of the professionals that I had with me. The home is very small and does not meet the pictures and the beds are extremely uncomfortable. The pictures are zoomed in in someway the aesthetics are correct but the size is just off. I had my make up team I had my massage therapist I had quite a few professionals show up to address my needs and they all said they thought uncomfortable by all of the cameras and when they checked on the property via the site to make sure that their area would be well enough to suit what they needed, they were shocked at the vast difference of size. I could go on and on and on about this but I think my points been made, my knee still hurts and I was not pleased with my stay at all and in fact if I could’ve found some thing to hold all of my people in the meanwhile I would’ve done it and if they would’ve sent me this plethora of emails prior to the cancellation date I would’ve canceled it I can guarantee you that. I highly recommend doing Instacart and when you do bring everything that you need literally everything that you need …supplies are VERY limited. I have five star reviews from every place I’ve ever stayed and have only ever given five star reviews.
I need to also mention to you that when you drive onto this road it is not going to look as the house may seem to look in terms of the pics (we assumed the wow factor) the driveway parking is very small. I had a suburban and a tiny car and it was very tough and when I asked about parking they said it should fit four cars and to make sure I didn’t get on their grass they could’ve cared less! Not a good stay, not a good fit and we truly wanted to enjoy this trip! I travel 200 days a year …this was the worst yet.
