Boca Bliss: Family-Friendly Escape with Hot Tub & Grill, 1 Mile from the Beach!

First the good: The house was very nice with comfortable beds, a big kitchen, and a great hot tub. The space worked great for our family and we had a good stay. That said, lots of problems came up that didn’t ultimately mess up our time, but did create some hassle. Maybe it was just bad luck and if no other reviews raise similar concerns, I’d dismiss this myself and happily stay there again. But if others report similar problems, then I’d stay away. The HVAC set off an alarm when we turned it on, which was scary but ultimately may have been a false alarm. The drain for the bathtub didn’t work. The tub spout didn’t work either, so the shower dripped when the bath was running. Messages didn’t seem to work on the VRBO app so they didn’t get our pre-arrival messages we didn’t get the code to the laundry room when we arrived (it’s only accessible from outside). A notice was taped to the door during our stay citing the property for violating short-term rental laws. The saving grace for all of this was the excellent property manager, who promptly responded to text messages sent directly (not via the app) and dealt with every issue that came up. She sent repair people to fix the issues promptly and kept us updated. This was a great house, so hopefully we just had some bad luck that ultimately didn’t mess up our vacation anyway.

It was very clean. The manager was very helpful. The Wi-Fi did not work. The Internet was very spotty, but the manager was very nice to my husband.

We were there for FAU’s family weekend. The kitchen was perfect and spacious for our dinners.

Convenient to the beach, cold AC. Well-stocked kitchen. Laundry facilities require you to go outside and around the house to a separate room. I found the communication response time to be lacking; the laundry room location and access code was missing from our check-in information, and it took over 12 hours to receive a response to a message about the matter (question sent around 8am, response received after 9pm).

Third stay here and as always, clean, comfortable, easy going and the host Hannah was kind and very responsive. Will absolutely stay again!!

Great location! Love the hot tub and kitchen!!

Great stay! What a nice place with plenty of room and comfortable beds.

Perfect little oasis for the holidays My family and I were grateful to have this peaceful spot to crash during our stay over the holidays. We especially liked the Florida room on a breezy, rainy day to put our feet up and read! Everything in the house is lovingly maintained and comfortable, which is no small feat in Florida! Thank you, Amanda, for the accommodation! We would definitely return to stay here again.

Solid Experience A few hiccups during our stay. However, the property is in a great location and overall we enjoyed our stay.
