Gary and his team at Posh Padz, saw to it that my parents and I had a fantastic time staying at the…read more"Waters Edge" two bedroom property over the Holiday break. I felt compelled to write a review (my first ever) to support this wonderful company to give a real world view on how great they actually are. (Please do not believe that bitter review below! They are definitely NOT scammers!).
My parents and I had booked a suite at a Marriott down near the Ft. Lauderdale airport which had great reviews and umpteen gold stars from various reputable companies. Well, let's just say that as soon as we arrived, we decided we were leaving. Dirty rooms, unpleasant long-term guests, cramped, cheap beds. The list goes on. So unpleasant and not what was described in the least. I thought all hope was lost when we came upon the PoshPadz.com site. I sent off an email not expecting anything back, since it was 8pm and we wanted something for the next day during peak season. One hour later, I got a note back with three options to choose from! All of them looked stunning, exactly what we'd hoped for. So I sent off an email and hoped for the best and got a confirmation to visit the property the next morning.
We were a little skeptical at first since when something seems to good to be true, it usually is. We dragged our tired, cynical butts up to West Palm beach Gardens, to the Posh Padz office, where we were greeted by Gary, the owner of the company. The office itself was full of designer furnishings, beautiful pieces that looked hand picked by an expert. We learned from Gary that his wife is an interior designer, and she carefully selects pieces to fit each unique property. We were getting very excited to see our new place. Gary then suggested we simply take a quick trip to view the apartment and after a short drive, we arrived there. It was love at first sight. The pictures didn't really do the place justice, but they were very accurate. It was clean, airy, enormous and exactly what we wanted. Two balconies, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and a kitchen with every possible thing you could wish for. The flow of the apartment was amazing. We couldn't believe our luck! Gary and I left my parents there to settle in, while we went back to his office and finalized the paperwork. Afterward, he drove me around the area and showed me all the highlights around the property, made restaurant recommendations, tips on the shopping area and gave some history. This is a level of courtesy saved for the poshest of hotel concierges. Upon returning to the apartment, I've never seen my parents look more relieved and content. If it wasn't for Gary taking us on last minute, we'd have had a terrible vacation.
The view of the lake from the apartment was beautiful (especially at night). Only a 10 minute drive to the beach. The pool was amazing, as were the fitness facilities. Gary was personally on hand to answer any questions during our stay. We didn't want to leave. We can't recommend Gary and PoshPadz enough. They are honest and worth your money. You should book them if you're ever in the Florida area, or any of the other areas listed. You will not be disappointed!
