The WalkAbout Beach Resort is a purple-hued 1940s boutique hotel on Hollywood Beach’s boardwalk (called the Broadwalk) that’s ideal for experiencing this stretch of South Florida at its best. The oceanfront location is steps from the sand, making the hotel a great base for families in search of a beach vacation. And the staff can provide complimentary beach chairs and towels for your day at the beach.

The property is tiny, with just eight oceanfront guestrooms that include studios, suites, a tower suite and a beach cottage that can accommodate up to six guests. All guestrooms have luxurious bedding with down duvets and pillows, a bath and shower, a fully equipped kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, toaster and coffeemaker and a large 37-inch flat-screen TV.

There is free Wi-Fi throughout and the hotel can arrange a shuttle service within the local area for guests.
