BEACHFRONT LUXURY - Direct Oceanview 2 Bed / 2 Bath Condo in the Tides Resort

It was amazing to wake up to a view of the ocean! There are two pools on property, and the ocean is right through the gate. I felt very safe going on walks along the beach every morning. The checkin process was a little confusing and the line was very long for checkout. There’s a Walmart, Target, and Dollar Store very close. The property owner has beach chairs, and umbrella, and sand toys to use! We had food delivered from Publix that showed up right when we got there. The vents could definitely use a deep scrub. We had an amazing trip! This location was perfect. We were sad to leave!

Beautifully located right in front of the beach with a front side view on the beach. I stayed with my three teenagers and we all absolutely loved it! It was great having a full kitchen for eating in, as well as bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs and a parasol! The kids loved having Netflix on the large screen TV, as well as each having their own double bed. The closet space is immense. Will definitely come back when we have the chance!

This is a great place to stay with beautiful ocean views from the balcony and master bedroom. The communication speed and friendliness of the property manager made our stay very pleasant. The property grounds were well maintained. Pool areas were tidy and had easy beach access. Please note this is not a hotel, so you don't get an endless supply of shampoo, lotions, towels, toilet paper, etc. Plan on grocery shopping and you won't be disappointed. The walk to Hollywood Broadwalk (yes that is spelled correctly) is about 40-50 minutes if you walk along the beach. It was very nice to have beach chairs, an umbrella, and pool toys all ready for us, but if you have a party larger than four, you might need extra. I recommend getting specific information about check-in from the property manager a day before your stay. Also, the valet parking attendant is a good source of information when you first arrive. If you want to wake up to a sunrise over the ocean while still lying in bed, this is the place to be!

Overall clean and comfortable accommodations. Need some TLC such as small patches of peeling paint in the master bath and the microwave. Property has three big TVs however we could only get one of them to work. There were five remotes but no instructions on which remote went to each TV and services were available.

We stayed for a week at this condo. When we first walked in, it smelled horrible. We looked everywhere for the cause, but couldn't find it, so we bought air fresheners. The condo is very basic with basic beds, couches, and the oldest oven in the universe. Pros: The condo was spacious and the balcony was nice to watch the ocean and pool area. It was nice to have a little store on site too. The pool areas and beach are great. Cons: The smell, the bathtub faucet was broken, the check in process was long, slow and had me going all over that place. I was super annoyed by time I was able to get us checked in. Side note: Don't rent a car! There is a great app called ride circuit that picks you up for 2/person and takes you all over Hollywood! I wish I would've known about that before I spent 500 on a car and parking tag.

The grounds around the pool are beautiful and only a few steps to a beautiful beach. Wonderful restaurants

As advertised we were expecting a luxurious property but we were totally disappointed when we arrived. The apartment is an old unit and, especially the bathrooms, needs a renovation. The coach and chairs were all worn. It was also a nasty surprise that parking, advertised as included in the apartment, was a valet service you have to pay on top of the rental fee. It is the same case with laundry, it is a share laundry room per floor which has to be paid through a special card with a minimum recharge higher that what is needed for a week holiday. All in all we were very dissatisfied and felt that we overpaid for a condo which only good feature is nice views

The property was nice, quiet, relatively easy access to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

We overall enjoyed our stay at this condo. We were originally told the Hollywood boardwalk was a 20-25 minute walk. It took us over an hour and a half walking on the beach to get there(7 of us). There were also several broken tiles throughout the condo taped together with clear duct tape, loose sinks no longer glued to the counter, and the refrigerator wouldn't get cold the first day. We had a family of 7 and were only given 2 rolls of toilet paper with 2 spare rolls that were used under the sink. That was super disappointing. We also only had less than half a roll of paper towels to use. Anytime I have rented from VRBO items like toilet paper and paper towels were provided. I hope you can use this information to help someone else in the future feel more accommodated.

The pictures are exact of the residence. There is a Walmart and 7-Eleven close, no more than a 10 minute walk. The pool and beach were convenient and close. The unit had plenty of room and stayed cool with the AC units. When we wanted outdoor air, the patio door was available, and only the “master” bedroom windows opened. Overall this place fitted our family needs.

Cracked tiles floors Dangerous possible mold in kitchen Water fills up to ankles in Bath No drapes /curtains in lroom Shelf broken in fridge Maid walked in on me Nude No knock It was wrong day to clean Need at least 50 percent refund

Pictures look better than reality. There was no thought of comfort for the guests. Cons: No shampoo/conditioner/soap, etc.. not enough towels, no window curtains or shades in the living room, was not pleasant. Beach chairs were dirty and broken, old moldy beach towels stuffed in the chairs. The kitchen door leading outside did not lock. Had to prop a chair to keep it locked. Dirty dishes put away. We were forced to pay for extra for unnecessary key, ($30). Minor inconvenience, sure, but worth mentioning. Pros: It was big enough for 5 adults, kitchen stocked with pots and pans, etc, beds were comfortable, location is nice if you want beach. Nothing walkable though. But for this price, would not stay again.

The property owner/manager was very responsive and pleasant. Once we arrived at The Tides, we were greeted by the rude parking attendant. We arrived after 5p so we had to register in the morning. Once I was greeted in the management office, the woman was VERY pleasant and explained everything well. The first and second day, our daughter needed to take a nap, and there was the sound of drilling and pounding outside of our door. The first day, my husband politely asked them to come back in an hour or so let our baby sleep. They did. The second day, around the same time, the same thing happened, however this time, Ronald, the man making the noise said “No, I will not stop.” And proceeded to raise his voice and speak to me in a very disrespectful manner. Most of the staff were rude with the exception of Julia at the front desk. She was an absolute pleasure. The vents in the rooms were completely filled will dirt/dust/sand to the point you couldn’t see the filter any longer. There was also mold in both showers. The bathroom with the tub does not drain so you’re standing in your water as your shower. The bathroom in the master bedroom goes from extremely cold to scalding in a matter of seconds the whole time you are showering. The dishwasher does not work. The dishes come out just as dirty as they went in, and that’s with rinsing them first. All in all, we will not be staying at The Tides again.
