Great beach views

Great beach access and spacious rooms with amazing views. On site management was a little bumpy (concierge, elevator service) but this was during Covid-19 so understandable.

A Great Place To Stay!

We had a great stay here. The view was amazing and the condo was very nice and clean. The property manager was one of the most attentive we have ever had. She made everything perfect and went out of her way. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The amenities and everything in the building were also great. Very nice resort with great service and hospitality from everyone on site.

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.

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!!!

Lovely apartment with lovely view

We very much enjoyed our stay. Our unit and the entire building were fresh and well-maintained. Employees of the condominium were kind, considerate, and helpful. The pool was beautiful. On-site dining was great. We had great massages on the 9th floor. We especially appreciated the assistance of our booking agent Laure.

Room was exactly as listed, beautiful views, overall a great experience.

Laure was helpful and great to work with, especially with info leading up to the trip. Building & facilities were fantastic. Only had two small complaints, could here some pipes knocking throughout the night & the toilets were not great, had to plunge them alot. Other than that were extremely happy with the room, building, amenities and Laure! We would definitely stay there again.

Terrible Experience

We had beautiful views from our room. It is half the size of what the pictures display. I paid an extreme amount to stay here. We checked in on Monday and didn’t get wash clothes until Thursday bc the owner was “out of town”. The shower water was freezing. The espresso machine didn’t work. There was dried food on the wall behind the stove top. I had to sweep and mop the floor upon arrival due to it being filthy. Lost the card for you 470 for and wasted 1/2 days beach time bc they wouldn’t rent us the umbrella and towels. It took management forever to realize a prior guest lost the card that identifies you. Communicated with the seller and all she refunded me was for the night we left early and drove home (12 hours). We were sick of cold showers. We had to buy detergent and use 3 washcloths between 4 people and that’s hard to do when you’re at the beach. The seller refuses to accommodate my needs any further. Unfair but I guess I will just have to take this one on the chin. 10/10 don’t waste your time and money!

Fantastic views and A plus apartment manager

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.

Best beach vacation ever

Spacious and well- appointed. Could listen to the waves at night without having to listen to partiers down below, too. Least sea life in the water swimming around my legs (I'm a 64 yo woman), no bugs at all, hardly and seagulls and fewest steps from property to water's edge. Just me and the waves, which is what I was after. We stayed the beginning of November and it was in the mid-80's with excellent water temperature. So, excellent accommodations by the most pleasant beach I've ever been at.

Excellent! Laure was great!

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))

Perfection!!! The view will take your breath away

In the words of my nine year old “This place is Awesome!!!!” We checked in and everything went smooth as glass. The first thing you notice walking in is the view the wrap around windows give you a truly breath taking view. We spent many hours on the balcony watching the waves roll in The property offers everything you could want. The heated pool felt great on the cool days and the hot tub melted all the world away. The beach service took care of us and made sure our time on the beach was spectacular. Both bedrooms where very comfortable but the master bedroom was the highlight of the condo waking up to the gorgeous view set the tone for the day. We can’t wait to return!!!!

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.

Fun girls weekend

Great stay at this condo! The unit was clean, well-appointed. The location is nice and oceanfront. The beach is narrow and crowded with beach chairs. The pool area is very nice and resort-like. Pool bar and food service is excellent! The elevator can take a while as previously mentioned. It would have been helpful to have check-out instructions or helpful tips for our stay, such as where the trash chute is, what the different bins in the island are for, etc. Laure was very easy to work with! She came on the day we checked in just to check and make sure we got in ok and to make sure we had everything. I had a couple of questions that she promptly answered for me too.

Amazing property, view, beach, and pool, but waited ONE HOUR for an elevator on checkout day!!!

Great communication with property manager. Condo was clean and as advertised. View, beach, and pool were amazing. Only thing preventing a five star was the elevators. Very slow for the entire stay, and a disaster on checkout day. We took the stairs for our 15th floor unit during most of the trip but checking out with four large suitcases we had no choice but to wait for the elevator. OVER ONE HOUR before we could finally squeeze into one. Only five total elevators for a high rise, they need more elevators!
