We would highly recommend Trail Paradise (Costa Hollywood Resort). You could not get a better location right on the beach and boardwalk. We rented via Airbnb but it was more like a hotel which we liked.
The front desk was accommodating to check-in, check-out and during our stay to whatever we needed.
The roof top pool is amazing. Views of beach and boats and plenty of seating. The bar is open W-S and they have music which was a pleasant surprise.
By staying at the resort you receive (2) chairs at the beach and towels ($20 for additional chair). This was super easy, just tell them your name and room number and that's all that's too it.
There is a gym coming within a few weeks so those that are booking for future visits will be able to enjoy that as well.
We stayed in a 1-BR unit which was very nice and seemed new. All appliances new. Had a LR with a couch and fold out bed and TV. Also had another area with couch and fold out bed and tv. Very nice for a few people or family.
They offer valet which was super nice and fast (35 per day)
We plan on staying here again when back in Hollywood!
