Great location , view, and beach access!
Beautiful view, location, and beach access, but the property management was very strict and had many rules. We could not check in one minute earlier and use the property. You had wrist bands that dictated where you could be at all times, different colors for different status. We could not go to the pool, beach or get through any doors before or after check in or out. We promptly checked out before 11 and got our wrist band cut off and were not allowed to go anywhere on the property. We wanted to sit at the pool until our flights but were rudely kicked out like criminals. The condo was nice but not completely clean. Ice in freezer had some food stain on, floors not completely clean, bathroom could have been cleaner all around. Condo provided no kitchen towels but expected you to wash all your dishes. Coffee maker, but no coffee to get you started. No laundry soap to wash your towels. Chairs on balcony were very torn and weathered, mismatched and ready to be retired. The chairs would fly across the balcony on windy days, so not appropriate. The internet would not connect completely. Kitchen chairs were filthy. Overall, I think the description could have been better. The pool should not close 630 pm, which did not give us a chance to swim and when we went up there it was packed. We could not get into the hot tub at all! We were only there for 2 days, but felt the overall management of the facility was not accommodating. Would not stay there again! Stay at the Diplomat.

Lies & Deception!!! .
If you want the truth, only read the one star reviews. This place is dirty, very poorly maintained and smells. We had to go buy our own towels and bedsheets. Further, the description is false. Living space is almost half the size of what is advertised. Don't get fooled by the pictures.

Memorial Day weekend
Enjoyed everything about this residence! Condo was exactly as described. Very clean. The modern decor is perfect for the beach. Had everything we needed for the kitchen area. The wrap around balcony with beautiful views is the highlight of this condo. Owner communication was excellent as well. All fees were communicated upfront, no surprises. Valet service was exceptional. The beach chairs and towels provided with the room is the perfect added extra. We did use the ones provided in the condo as well, thank you. The only suggestion would be more towels and toiletries provided for bathrooms. Overall, was exceptional.

Fantastic Location
Great communication, easy checkin, everything went very smooth. Fantastic location, easy to the beach or pool. Had meetings nearby, and the rest of the group could keep busy. Yes valet and resort fee is extra upon arrival, which is cleary stated up front. Used to live in the area years ago, its a great spot between FLL and MIA.

A Very Nice vacation
This place is great! The view from the unit is awesome in every direction.The apartment interior is nicely furnished and comfortable. Sitting out on the balcony is very enjoyable. This building is conveniently located near Walmart, restaurants and of course the beach. Any time of day or night all you need to do is go downstairs and you're at the beach. The apartment manager is pleasant and helpful. I easily give this apartment a 5 star rating.

Family vacation
The stay was nice, there was an issue with the key card connecting to the door panel, which prevented entry to the unit. Nevertheless, maintenance came and resolved the issue. Overall, the unit was clean and appears to be well maintained. However, the bathroom shower and toilets could use a bit more thorough cleaning. There were pieces of long hair on the shower floor and wall. The toilet in the master bath smelled of urine...a little awesome, bleach, scrubbing bubbles and even Lysol would help. The host was very responsive and wanted to ensure we had a good stay. Will definitely visit again

Lots of time waiting and inaccurate description of amenities
The condo itself was fine. Spacious and clean with most of the essentials. Resort staff were rude, intrusive and generally unhelpful. The armed security guards around the pool and restaurant area were overbearing and intimidating to many of the families of young kids. The beach was completely inaccessible from the condo grounds. Designated beach chairs which come with the rental are located about 1/4 mile down the beach and are challenging to get to especially if anyone staying there has any kind of physical limitations. Wait times to check in, catch the elevator and retrieve your car from valet were excessive. Upwards of 20 to 30 minutes to get an elevator’every time! There is also a hot water issue in the building. The upper floors take 10-15 minutes for the hot water to circulate to the shower. I would not recommend this resort until significant improvements are made. I have stayed in multiple other properties around Florida and this one is not worth it for the money you have to pay!

Million dollar views
Our family really enjoyed our stay! The views were amazing and the resort had a lovely pool and access to the beach. The Hollywood area was very family friendly and I highly recommend the Tiki Tiki restaurant for dinner. It’s a close drive to Fort Lauderdale which we really enjoyed with the kids. The only flaw at this location is that the check in process took quite some time because of the lack of staff to accommodate all those checking in to VRBOs. I was in line for about 30 minutes with only two folks ahead of me.everything else at the property was great. Tips: buy Keurig coffee pods, dishwasher tablets and cleaning wipes if you plan to stay more than a couple days.

First of all, I have stayed at the Hyde before! It is right in the middle of Ft Lauderdale and Miami! The view is spectacular! Great beach right outside your door! The resort is clean, friendly, and perfect for a quite place to come home to after a day of running around. The pool is awesome as well. Food at the restaurants is excellent, although a little pricey. Laure, the apartment manager was great to work with. She really took care of us and responded immediately when we had questions. I hope to utilize her services in the future! Here's a hug from Iowa, Laure! ((HUGS))

Great location, overall good
The location is great, beautiful view and outdoor space. The resort management (not owner) leaves a bit to be desired as they seemed to be unorganized. Check in was lengthy & difficult. The “Owner” Elevator was out of service on the first day which meant waiting for the elevator with resort guests for about 20 minutes. After that the “owner” elevator that we used was fixed , but the resort guests figured out that they could use it to avoid security- and many did, making it typically a long wait for the elevator. This was compounded by COVID restrictions limiting elevator to 4 people at a time. The beach service was great. The pool is beautiful, but doesn’t offer towel service until 11 am. The property was as described, beds were comfortable, but property could use a fresh paint job. The valet service was good. There are about $50 in mandatory additional resort and valet fees per day- so be aware. There are minimal bathroom supplies and no kitchen condiments- so be sure to bring with you if needed. The resort guests are a bit loud and there was marijuana smoke odor in the hallway. Although we were at the end of the building facing the water, the resort guests occupy the rest of the floor and seemed to be a young crowd. The Etaru restaurant right in front of the property was exceptional- would highly recommend. I would avoid the pool restaurant for breakfast as it was expensive, and the service and food were not good. Overall, nice location and great view, with some drawbacks vs a private home.

Laure, the apartment manager went above and beyond to take care of us and the apartment during our stay. She was quick to respond to any issues, and was able to accommodate us when our flight was cancelled due to a snow storm and moved us to a similar unit. Highly recommend listing your apartment with her or renting from her.

Perfect Getaway!!
4 of us (60+) needed a week getaway and we found the perfect location!! Excellent view of the ocean. Very quiet and relaxing and ALL the staff we interacted with were courteous and responsive. We flew into Ft. Lauderdale which was only a few miles away and much more convenient than Miami airport. A very short drive to grocery stores and great outdoor restaurants. You cannot go wrong renting this VRBO!!!
