Steps to Sand: Ocean-View Condo in Hollywood

Reviews

• Wonderful stay

  5/5

  The good:Extremely convenient location and resort less than 20 minutes from the airport, 0.5 miles from a Walmart super center, lovely saltwater pool with poolside service, and beach access with full umbrella/towel/lounge service. There is a gift shop that has many things you might need immediately (ie sunscreen). The unit is on floor 8 and the pool/spa/fitness center is on floor 9 which made the single/slow elevator less impactful. My husband found a Groupon for an otherwise very pricey facial at the spa and my experience there was so restful and rejuvenating. The view is simply amazing. The bed is comfortable. We loved our stay! ***Of note, there are sand toys, goggles, boogie boards, and a baby tub in the bedroom closet left by prior stayers and us as well. The bad:1. As others have stated, cleanliness wasn’t top tier. And there were no simple cleaning supplies other than a featherweight Bissel which honestly does a decent job if you go slow enough. I vacuumed multiple times a day… There were definitely many hairs and such that did not belong to us. And I did notice some black mold on the back of the icemaker. The extra non feather pillows were dirty and heavily soiled but I washed them and they came out very fresh. Overall it was acceptable, though. I just wish I had ordered some basics from Walmart like multi face spray and disinfectant wipes. I’m a very clean person and typically leave a rented space cleaner when I leave but it was difficult in this case. 2. Supp

  5/5

  The unit was very nice and clean with an amazing view. The amenities were great, the pool was lovely. We had a wonderful time on the balcony taking in the gorgeous view. Everything we could have asked for in a relaxing vacation.

  We have stayed here before - great location - but the elevator situation is awful - be prepared to walk up and downstairs - place was very clean.

• An Okay Stay with Room for Improvement

  3/5

  Our stay was just average. The unit could definitely use a more thorough cleaning especially the carpet and lamp shades. The customer service was frustrating; you have to go through two separate third-party companies, who then reach out to the owner just to get approval for basic requests like early check-in. The resort is supposed to take care of you during your stay, but that’s where the lack of service really showed, which likely explains why the unit wasn’t as clean as it should be. I was only there for two days, so I tried to make the most of it, but honestly, I was ready to head home. Also, there’s only one elevator on the residential side, and with the unit being on the 8th floor, I ended up taking the stairs more than I wanted to.
