Perfect

The outdoor space is what sucked me in, it feels like a secluded garden - I was out there a lot! My teens and I stayed for 5 days and it was perfect. The apartment is clean, cute, comfortable and well furnished. I appreciated the snacks and drinks stocked in the fridge - so nice when just getting into town. The beach is an easy walk, lovely and not crowded. The ability to take the bikes to the Broadwalk is such a great amenity. Brian and Aleyda were available and gracious. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I hope to come back!

Lovely place to relax

The room was perfect my daughters and me. Brian and his wife were some welcoming. There was food and drinks waiting for us upon arrival. Highly recommend if you’re in this area. Skip the broad walk though as its really gone down hill sadly. Very thankful for our time here.

Exquisite Delight!

This is one of those properties that you want to keep hidden for yourself so the next time you want to book it, it's there for you. The hosts Brian & Aleyda are on top of everything and very helpful and hospitable. The property and atmosphere is as relaxing and laid back as it looks. Great outside space right in the courtyard. Sunrises and the beach are steps away and all the niceties are provided. We enjoyed all that this property had to offer and the location was so much nicer then being in the hustle and bustle, yet close enough if you wanted to go there. We'll be visiting again because we really felt like we had a vacation! Thanks!

As advertised

We loved everything about the property. It was in a great location, very private and quiet. We felt like every restaurant was within walking distance. There were grocery stores that delivered, and were very quick to do so, nearby. The beach was the shortest walk and everything we needed to relax on vacation was provided and at the property. Brian and Aleyda are tremendous hosts and very easy to communicate with. We had issues with our flights being delayed and/or canceled and they were very helpful with the check in process. It made a very stressful day a little easier and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the week unbothered by any issues because they had everything. 5 stars

Fantastic Beach Stay

Our 8 day stay was perfect. The house was plenty big enough for 3 to sleep and friends to visit. Outside was a tropical paradise. We loved the bikes and the ease of getting to the nearby boardwalk and pier. Having the beach just steps away made a great start to the day! The kitchen was set up for cooking but this was my first ever vacation not turning on the stove! I was so happy all of the restaurants were close by for everyone to have a choice. Coming from SC I wanted to pack light. Having chairs already on hand made our trip so easy! I give this villa 5 stars and would definitely visit again! The owners are amazing and made sure we were taken care of all week! Dania Beach is a must⭐️

So much better than large, people filled hotels. Feels like you can really experience the natural flora of Florida even though the glitz and concrete are not that far away. It’s like an oasis, with any other items you need (groc,restaurants) right nearby. Wonderful hosts too.

Lovely stay

My husband and I stayed for 15 nights. Brian and Aleyda were gracious and responsive hosts. The apartment was wonderful, with a gift basket of snacks, a bottle of wine, coffee, soda, and everything we needed to start our vacation. The shared space outside was inviting and allowed our work obligations to be pleasantly satisfied. We enjoyed the local restaurants on the boardwalk as well as the tiki tiki.

Just Fantastic . . .

We stay in vacation rentals about 4 times per year. This place is one of the best kept secrets that we have ever run across. Having lived in Dania for almost a decade (mind you it was a while ago), we planned a return trip. This place exceeded everything that we knew about the area. The hosts were FANTASTIC from start to finish. The property was a perfect depiction of the Hollywood/Dania Beach area. It had everything that we needed from the kitchen (they even left a couple of beers and bottle of wine in the fridge) to the bedroom. Even the uncrowded beach was only 100 steps away and the property had chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, whatever was needed. I honestly cannot say enough about this place and if we are ever returning to the area, this is the one that we will go out of our way to look up. Thanks for the great long weekend!

Quiet Stay in Paradise!

Me and my husband stayed at apartment #5 last month. We flew into FLL airport and this property was about a 15 minute drive from the airport (we rented a car). The North Beach part of Hollywood is a lot more peaceful and more private than the Broadwalk. But, the Broadwalk is just a short drive away or 10-15 min bike ride away. Brian and Aleyda are fantastic hosts! Communication was great - they let us know our apartment was unlocked with the keys on the counter. We had a bowl full of an assorted snacks waiting for us. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and a nice bottle of white wine, which was refreshing after a day of traveling. Brian also met us on our first day, while we relaxed in the beautiful gardens on the property. He stopped by to introduce himself and even brought us a bowl of fresh fruit and coffee cake. Owners definitely go above and beyond to make sure the guests and property are taken care of. We saw them daily tending to the property and taking care of the gardens. We loved that beach equipment was provided. They provide beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards to name a few. Bikes are also available to borrow. Me and my husband enjoyed waking up early to watch the sunrise.... the beach is only about a 2 minute walk from the apartment. We loved our stay so much, that we are returning in about six months!

Totally worth it

Location is amazing! A quiet slice of old Florida. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount and quality of welcome basket food and drinks ( we thought we were in an occupied apartment, there was so much!) Everything is provided for your beach stay. Only reason I gave less stars for communication, is we called upon arrival but didn’t get in touch with owners. We didn’t hear from them during our stay, (not that we needed them for anything) and it was Memorial Day weekend so they may have gone for their own vacation. No big deal. We lived it and would go again in a heartbeat.

Outstanding!

We loved our stay. Everything was perfect. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The outdoor space full of trees and plants with several seating areas to relax in the shade. We even made use of the grill on one evening. Brian and Aleyda are fantastic hosts, both friendly and engaging and laid back. We loved being able to borrow bikes and ride along the shore. They also supply boogie boards and beach chairs for taking to the water. And it's only a few minutes from the FLL airport. Hollywood is a couple of miles south if you're looking for a wide range of restaurants, bars, and stores. But this part of North Beach is quiet and peaceful, just far enough away from the noise yet not remote. And the beach and the water are super clean. We loved every aspect of this stay and look forward to visiting again!
