Vacation Rental Management in Hollywood, Florida
Updated: Nov 1
Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals in Hollywood, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Hollywood has the longest beach in Broward County, the Broadwalk, and single-family neighborhoods on the Intracoastal and the lakes behind it, and it runs one of the most detailed vacation rental license programs in South Florida. We file that license for owners, and the fee and our guarantees are in writing.
Yours Truly Hospitality is a short-term rental management and interior design company for waterfront and coastal homes in Southeast Florida, from Palm Beach south to Miami. Founded and operated by Brad and Justina McRae, it offers full-service management at 20 to 25 percent of revenue, backed by three written guarantees: the Take-Home Guarantee, the Zero Bookings Guarantee and the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. We manage larger homes with pools, three bedrooms and up, on the water or within about 30 minutes of it, in the neighborhoods where design and hospitality set the nightly rate.
Now taking on new homes in Hollywood
Hollywood sits between two cities where Yours Truly Hospitality already operates, Hallandale Beach to the south and the Fort Lauderdale area to the north, so our cleaning and maintenance teams already work here. The homes that fit are pool homes on the Intracoastal, the lakes and the beach side, three bedrooms and up. The first step is a Revenue Gap Audit on the address, with no obligation: Book a Revenue Gap Audit.
Yours Truly Hospitality has managed short-term rentals across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties since 2023.
What management includes in Hollywood

Full Service, 20 percent. Guest operations (listing build and channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo and direct booking, guest vetting, all guest communication at any hour, review management, a guest welcome guide for the home), plus revenue management (dynamic pricing and minimum-stay adjustments reviewed daily, seasonal and event strategy), vetted cleaning and maintenance teams, maintenance handled at any hour and around the clock in an emergency, quarterly preventative maintenance checks, pool, lawn and exterior coordination, on-call repair contractors, vendor management and quality control, smart locks, noise monitoring, pre-launch staging and professional photography arranged by us, a light design package at onboarding (Need, Highly Recommend, Nice to Have), a monthly owner statement and an owner portal. The standard engagement.
Estate, 25 percent. Everything in Full Service plus in-house interior design and furnishing led by Justina McRae, guest and household supplies covered, routine maintenance visits covered, and priority owner response, for waterfront and estate homes with a higher-touch requirement.
Three guarantees attach to Full Service and Estate: no confirmed booking in the first 30 bookable days and the setup fee is refunded; leave for any reason between day 90 and day 120 and the setup fee is refunded; and, for homes with a full year of rental history, the Take-Home Guarantee, under which you take home at least what you did the year before or management is free until you do. The onboarding fee is quoted per property, in writing.
Hollywood short-term rental rules
Hollywood requires a city Vacation Rental License before a home is advertised, for any dwelling rented for stays under thirty days more than three times a year, under Chapter 119 of the city code. The license year ends September 30 and every renewal comes with an inspection. On the city's fee schedule the application for a home that is not owner occupied is $850, the renewal $600, the initial inspection $400 for a home up to 1,500 square feet and the annual renewal inspection $300; late registration is $250 and the daily fine for operating unlicensed runs up to $5,000. The city also requires a noise detection device, a responsible party on site within sixty minutes, a guest log, two occupants per bedroom and both license numbers in every advertisement. Broward County collects a 6% tourist development tax on stays of six months or less. The county layer is in our Broward County requirements guide; the city's own page is here. Yours Truly Hospitality files every city, county and state registration a vacation rental needs, on the owner's behalf, before the first booking.
Hollywood neighborhoods and homes that fit
Hollywood runs from the ocean to the western suburbs, and our portfolio fits its east side. Hollywood Lakes, between the Intracoastal and downtown, holds the city's classic single-family homes on the lakes and the waterway, minutes from the Broadwalk. Hollywood Beach and North Beach put a house steps from the sand. Harbor Islands is a gated Intracoastal community with private docks, and Emerald Hills, inland, is the golf and lakes neighborhood with the larger lots. What earns here is a pool home with three bedrooms or more, on the water or a walk from the beach, designed so a guest picks the house.
Hollywood owner questions
Is Airbnb legal in Hollywood, Florida?
Yes, with a city Vacation Rental License obtained before the home is advertised. Hollywood licenses any dwelling rented for stays under thirty days more than three times a year, inspects it before issuance and at every renewal, and requires the license number in every listing. Yours Truly Hospitality files the license, the state DBPR license and the Broward County registrations before the first booking.
What does vacation rental management cost in Hollywood?
Management is 20 to 25 percent of revenue in two published tiers: Full Service at 20 percent (the standard engagement) and Estate at 25 percent. Three guarantees attach to Full Service and Estate: the Zero Bookings Guarantee, the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee and, for homes with a full year of rental history, the Take-Home Guarantee. The onboarding fee is quoted per property, in writing, before you sign.
What does the Hollywood vacation rental license cost?
On the city's published fee schedule, a home that is not owner occupied pays $850 to apply and $600 to renew, plus $400 for the initial inspection of a home up to 1,500 square feet and $300 for the annual renewal inspection. Late registration is $250. The state license and the Broward County tourist tax registration sit on top. We build those costs into the revenue model before you sign.
What kind of Hollywood home earns the most as a vacation rental?
A pool home with three bedrooms or more on the Intracoastal, the lakes or the beach side, designed and furnished to a standard the towers cannot match. Hollywood guests come for the beach and the Broadwalk and pay for privacy, a pool and parking. We model the home against its comparable set before quoting a number.
