Hollywood Beach vs Hollywood Lakes — Which Area Fits Your Week?
Hollywood has two distinct areas for vacation rentals. Choosing between them is the most important decision you’ll make before booking.
Hollywood Beach weekly rentals put you on the Broadwalk — 2.5 miles of oceanfront restaurants, bike rentals, beach bars, and free live music at the Hollywood Beach Theatre Wednesday through Sunday. It’s active, walkable, and social. Best for guests who want to be in the middle of it all.
Hollywood Lakes weekly rentals put you in a quiet residential neighborhood about a mile inland. Tree-lined streets, waterfront canals, and a slower pace — with easy bike access to the Broadwalk when you want it. Best for families, couples, and anyone who wants South Florida without the beach-strip energy.

What to Expect During Your Stay
A week in Hollywood settles into a rhythm quickly. Beach days, Broadwalk evenings, and easy access to everything nearby without the traffic and congestion of Miami or the higher price points of Fort Lauderdale.
Downtown Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard is worth exploring — local breweries, live music venues, cigar lounges, and restaurants with a genuine neighborhood feel. ArtsPark at Young Circle hosts outdoor events, markets, and movie nights throughout the year.
For day trips, Fort Lauderdale is 20 minutes north and Miami is 30 minutes south. Hollywood’s central location makes it one of the better bases for exploring South Florida broadly over a full week.
