Miramar and Plantation put an investor into a Broward County short-term rental for a lower entry price than Hollywood or Hallandale Beach, with a guest mix that leans more corporate relocation, family visit, and long-weekend drive-in than beach vacation.
Why look inland instead of at the beach cities?
Inland Broward trades ocean proximity for lower purchase prices and a steadier, less seasonal booking calendar. The Miramar Dream House case study on our own portfolio shows what that structure can look like: a $480,000 purchase plus $120,000 in renovation, $600,000 total invested, now valued at $800,000 with roughly $150,000 in annual gross revenue. That is one property's ledger, not a projection for the next buyer, but it shows the entry price gap is real.
Beach-adjacent Hollywood, by comparison, carries a different cost base and a different guest — someone booking specifically to be near Hollywood Beach's nearly 2.5-mile Broadwalk, which drives a more seasonal, tourism-heavy calendar than an inland property pulling from relocation and event travel.
What does a Miramar property look like as an investment?
Our 4.5BR Dream House in Miramar is a 5-bedroom, 3-bath home that sleeps 10, listed from $600/night, with a heated pool, BBQ grill, modern kitchen, free parking, and Wi-Fi. It sits in a suburban pocket of Broward that draws guests visiting family, working nearby, or splitting time between Miami and Fort Lauderdale rather than chasing sand.
That guest profile matters for how the calendar fills. A beachfront listing lives and dies by peak season; an inland property with a pool and a full kitchen can hold bookings through shoulder months tied to work travel, sports tournaments, and family gatherings rather than tide charts.
What's different about Plantation?
Plantation caps what a listing can advertise, and municipal and HOA rules there can differ from Miramar or Hollywood on the same street — so we don't state occupancy for a Plantation property from memory. Our 4BR Remodeled Retreat in Plantation is a fully remodeled 4-bedroom, 4-bath home from $795/night, with a heated pool, free parking, and Wi-Fi — check the live listing for the current advertised guest count before comparing it to anything inland or coastal.
Plantation's price point sits between Miramar and Hollywood, and its renovated inventory — like this retreat — tends to command a nightly rate closer to the beach cities without the beachfront carrying cost. Whether a given Plantation address can operate as a short-term rental at all still comes down to that municipality's and that HOA's rules, not a blanket Broward answer.
How does inland Broward ROI actually compare?
The honest answer is that ROI shape differs by asset, not just by zip code. The Miramar Dream House case study shows $200,000 in equity created against $600,000 invested; the Hollywood Villa case study on the same page shows $400,000 in equity created against $800,000 invested, with roughly $200,000 in annual gross revenue. Higher entry cost, higher absolute equity built — but also a bigger check written up front.
| Case study | Purchase | Renovation | Total invested | Current value | Equity created |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miramar Dream House | $480,000 | $120,000 | $600,000 | $800,000 | $200,000 |
| Hollywood Villa | $650,000 | $150,000 | $800,000 | $1,200,000 | $400,000 |
Across the full StayRnR South Florida portfolio, average occupancy sits at 90% and guests rate the properties 4.9, backed by 2,000+ five-star Airbnb reviews. That's a portfolio-wide figure across all our markets, not a promise for any single Miramar or Plantation address — the two case studies above show how differently two Broward properties can perform even inside the same operator.
What does StayRnR handle if I buy inland?
Management runs 20% of gross revenue as the only ongoing fee, you keep 100% ownership, and there's no lock-in contract if the arrangement isn't working for you. That structure is the same whether the property is a Hollywood villa or a Miramar or Plantation home.
We also handle renovation in-house through BluePrints Construction LLC, from light remodels up to full $200K+ projects — relevant in Plantation and Miramar, where an older or dated home at a lower entry price often needs work before it can command a competitive nightly rate. Talk to us about property management if you're weighing a renovation budget against purchase price on an inland Broward property.

- Is inland Broward cheaper to buy into than the beach cities?
- Entry prices in Miramar and Plantation are generally lower than beachfront Hollywood or Hallandale Beach, though the exact gap depends on the specific property and its condition. Our Miramar Dream House case study shows a $600,000 total investment (purchase plus renovation) compared to $800,000 for a Hollywood Villa case study in the same portfolio.
- Can I advertise any guest count for a Plantation short-term rental?
- No. Plantation caps advertised occupancy, and rules can vary by HOA and by specific address within the same city. Always confirm the current advertised guest count on the live listing rather than assuming a number.
- Do inland Broward properties get fewer bookings than beach properties?
- They fill differently rather than necessarily fewer. Inland properties in Miramar and Plantation tend to draw guests visiting family, working nearby, or attending events, which can produce a steadier calendar through shoulder months compared to a beachfront property's more seasonal tourism pattern.
- What does StayRnR charge to manage a Miramar or Plantation rental?
- StayRnR charges 20% of gross revenue as the only ongoing management fee, with no lock-in contract and the investor retaining 100% ownership of the property.
