Oceanview Penthouse • Pool • Beach Access

It was ok Our stay here was ok. I didn't receive a code to get in the day of our travel. I message the host a couple times during our travel day with no reply. As we arrived to check in, I finally got a message back with the security code. It made me stressed all day because I had read other people's reviews about the check in process being bumpy. We did get in on arrival, but it was a bummer wondering all day if we were going to be able to get in.It is quite a walk to Hollywood Beach and there aren't very many places to eat within a reasonable walking distance. Beach and pool were nice. View from the balcony was nice. There weren't enough bath towels for each person in our group, but I contacted the host, and he ordered more within a few hours so that was very nice. Cleanliness was mediocre. There were dirty towels in the bathroom closet, the water cooler was empty and the water dispenser on the fridge was moldy.Our stay was ok but if I had it to do over, I would stay closer to Hollywood Beach.

Scammed by the view: filthy rental, false promises and a host who doesn’t care. I wouldn’t wish this scam on anyone.We arrived at 7pm to check in, walked in the doors to penthouse 10 and it was absolutely disgusting. Garbage all over the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Meanwhile the host was calling me, saying he didn’t know someone stayed the night before. Mind you this is 7pm for us travelers with children and older adults. The host said clean sheets were in the closets for us to change ourselves, and he’ll get cleaners out as soon as possible. I had multiple calls with the host, as we all walked somewhere to eat (since we had no place to stay). It was not until after midnight when we got into the place! We basically had to sit on the couch while the 2 cleaners “finished” and left. While sitting on the couch we saw blood spots(picture proof), and had the cleaner wipe it off before leaving. The place was clean enough when they left, but the towels were in the dryer. The host said he would refund us the first night and “make this right”.Is this listing accurate? No, no foosball table as seen in listing, and no shampoo or soap as stated in listing. When communicating with the host about a refund, he stated he’s being generous for giving us a refund for the 1 day especially since he had to pay extra to get cleaners out late night. That had nothing to do with our reservation that was booked a month ago. The host also mentioned owning the penthouse right across the hall, PH 11. Looks like he will just keep scamming people for the view!
