Hollywood, FL STR Market Overview
Hollywood, Florida occupies a strategic position between Miami-Dade and Fort Lauderdale, with its own 2.5-mile beachfront and a vibrant arts and cultural scene. The city's proximity to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the cruise port, and both Miami and Fort Lauderdale attractions drives a diverse guest mix: cruise passengers, beach tourists, convention attendees, and digital nomads.
Average daily rate: $150–$240 for standard units; $280–$450 for beachfront properties. Annual gross revenue for a well-managed 2-bedroom beachfront condo: $50,000–$80,000.
Hollywood STR regulations: Florida state vacation rental license required. The City of Hollywood requires local STR registration and enforces occupancy limits. See our Florida Airbnb management companies guide for South Florida market context.

2. RedAwning — Best Half-Service Option
RedAwning is Awning's parent company and operates a technology-driven distribution platform across 50+ booking channels. As a standalone option, RedAwning offers half-service management — listing distribution and channel management without the full local service stack. See our RedAwning property management review for details.
Best for: Hollywood owners who already have local cleaning and maintenance teams and want enterprise-level distribution technology without paying for services they don't need.

For any of these options: request a sample owner statement, get references from current Hollywood hosts, and compare fee structures using the Airbnb management fees guide.
10. Evolve — Best for Hands-On Hollywood Owners
Evolve is a nationwide STR marketing platform, not a full-service manager. At 10%, they handle listing creation, dynamic pricing, and guest communication — but not cleaning, maintenance, or local operations.
