A day in the life
You wake to breathtaking ocean views from this 1,254-square-foot penthouse at 1500 S Ocean Drive PHJ. Built in 1973, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom coastal residence fills with natural morning light, setting a calm tone for the day just minutes from the shoreline of Hollywood Beach.
Your daily routine unfolds with effortless connectivity. Hollywood Beach and Downtown Hollywood at Young Circle are both about a three-minute drive away, while Aventura Mall is reached in about six minutes and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport in about ten minutes. In the evening, you might enjoy cocktails over the water at The Deck at the Diplomat or an evening meal at Diplomat Prime. Nearby, Monkitail features modern Japanese fare and a sushi bar, while Margaritaville Hollywood Beach hosts live bands on the bandshell.
Dining along the oceanfront offers a diverse selection of local flavors. You can visit Le Tub Saloon, a quirky Intracoastal burger spot decorated with bathtubs, or savor Caribbean-inspired seafood dishes at Sugar Reef right on the Broadwalk. For casual cravings, Taco Beach Shack serves tacos and margaritas just steps from the sand.
For cultural excursions, creative energy thrives around Young Circle. You can wander through the monthly Hollywood ArtWalk to explore downtown studios and galleries, or visit the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood to view rotating contemporary art exhibitions and attend performances in the black-box theater.
Outdoor recreation is woven directly into the local setting. The 2.5-mile paved Hollywood Broadwalk welcomes you with cafes, street performers, and bike rentals. West Lake Park offers a coastal mangrove estuary featuring kayak rentals and a butterfly garden inside Anne Kolb, while North Beach Park presents an undeveloped natural beach and dune area ideal for surfing and quiet walks.
Weekends provide ample opportunities to explore attractions such as the Anne Kolb Nature Center, gaming and entertainment at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, or drinks at the Hollywood Beach Tiki Bar. Shopping stops include the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk Shops, Downtown Hollywood ArtWalk & Shops, and Oakwood Plaza. For recreation, Dave & Buster's features an arcade and sports screens, while Bowlero Hollywood provides modern glow-lane bowling.
