Reviewer Comments:
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Pompano Beach and 610 Casa Maria. However, there were a number of issues that previous reviewers had noted about the property that was still a problem during our stay plus a couple of other issues we found.Highlights:- House located in easy to access, nice quiet area. No canal traffic behind the house or traffic on the street.- The house seemed adequately cleaned- Several comfortable areas to crash and watch TV. - The kitchen was a nice space to use- Having two master bedrooms with King-sized beds was a plus.- The best part by far was the heated pool.Issues:- The house smelled very strongly of mold, though only found one area we could see. - Others had reported that there are no bathroom vents/fans and that was indeed a very significant problem for moisture (likely the cause of mold too).- Others reported that patio furniture was covered in mildew or was in very poor condition.

While we enjoyed our week there despite these de
