Florida snowbird season runs from October through April, and Hollywood Beach sits in one of the most accessible locations for the full stretch: close enough to Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport for an easy arrival, far enough from Miami Beach to avoid that city's resort pricing and peak-season crowds. This guide covers everything snowbirds need to know about renting in Hollywood Beach for a month or a full season.
The Mariner Suites at 702 N Surf Rd and Ultra Blue Apartments at 315 Buchanan St, both in Hollywood Beach, FL, offer full-kitchen monthly stays booked direct at ultra-spaces.com, with no resort fee and no platform markup.
KEY INSIGHTS ▼
Why Hollywood Beach for Snowbirds?
Florida is the most popular snowbird destination in the country, with roughly 63% of seasonal winter migrants choosing the Sunshine State over Arizona, Texas, or South Carolina. Within Florida, the choice usually comes down to the Gulf Coast (Naples, Sarasota) or the Atlantic Coast (Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton). Hollywood Beach sits in the middle of the Atlantic Coast corridor, about 20 miles north of Miami Beach and 9 miles south of Fort Lauderdale.
For a monthly or seasonal rental, location logistics matter more than for a short trip. Hollywood Beach checks several practical boxes that Miami Beach doesn't: Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is about 15–20 minutes away (versus 40+ minutes to Miami International), grocery stores and pharmacies are walkable or a short drive, and the 2.5-mile Hollywood Beach Broadwalk gives snowbirds a daily walking or cycling route without needing a car.
The pricing difference is also meaningful over a month or a full season. Miami Beach's resort-hotel inventory typically adds daily resort fees of $25–$45 on top of the room rate, and most rooms don't have a full kitchen. A full-kitchen suite or apartment in Hollywood Beach, booked direct without a platform fee, often works out to significantly less per month for a more usable space.
Extended-Stay Suites: The Mariner Suites
The Mariner Suites, at 702 N Surf Rd directly on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, has two corner suites, Room 21 and Room 23, listed specifically for extended stays. Each has a king bed, full kitchen, and covered parking, from $119 per night.
Room 21 and Room 23 are corner units — both designed for guests who plan to settle in rather than pass through. For a snowbird staying one to three months, having covered parking, a full kitchen for daily cooking, and a pool for morning swims makes the difference between a hotel stay and an actual temporary home.
Full kitchen — cook daily meals without depending on restaurants for every meal.
Covered parking included — essential for a multi-month stay.
Pool access included, open dawn to dusk.
Directly on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk — daily walk or cycle without a car.
4.9-star rating from 900+ guest reviews.

Snowbirds traveling with a partner or adult children who join for part of the season need more than a single suite. Ultra Blue Apartments, at 315 Buchanan St, has three two-bedroom units, Apt 2, Apt 4, and Apt 303, each with a full kitchen and space for up to six guests, from $149 per night.
Apt 2 includes a king bed, two queen beds, a sofa bed, its own beach chairs and umbrella, and covered parking. Apt 4 mirrors the same layout with two full bathrooms — useful when guests join mid-season and you're suddenly sharing a unit for a few weeks. Apt 303 has the same king-plus-two-queens sleeping arrangement in a single-bathroom layout, listed for larger groups.
Full kitchen — designed for a family cooking most meals in.
Parking included on select units including Apt 2.
Beach chairs & umbrella included with Apt 2, no daily rental fee.

Check Availability →What to Expect on a Hollywood Beach Snowbird Stay
Weather: Hollywood Beach averages 75–82°F from November through March, with low humidity compared to summer. January and February are the coolest months, rarely dropping below 60°F overnight. Rain is infrequent in winter, which makes daily Broadwalk walks genuinely reliable as a routine.
Daily life: The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is a 2.5-mile walking and cycling promenade directly accessible from both properties. The Winn-Dixie on Sheridan Street and a Publix nearby cover grocery runs, and a range of restaurants from casual tiki bars to full seafood dining line the Broadwalk itself.
Day trips: Miami Beach is about 30 minutes south by car, Fort Lauderdale 15 minutes north, the Florida Keys accessible in under two hours, and the Everglades a similar drive from Hollywood. For snowbirds who want to explore but return to a consistent base each night, Hollywood Beach's central Broward County location covers most of South Florida without committing to Miami's traffic or pricing.

Solo snowbird or traveling as a couple? Room 21 or Room 23 at The Mariner Suites are the purpose-built extended-stay option, directly on the Broadwalk with covered parking included.
Expecting family to visit mid-season? Ultra Blue Apartments' two-bedroom units give you the flexibility to host without booking a second room. Apt 2 and Apt 4 each have two bathrooms, which makes longer family visits workable rather than cramped.
Comparing per-month cost? Both properties are priced per night and book direct, so the total monthly cost reflects what you actually pay without resort fees, platform service charges, or cleaning fees layered on at checkout.
