My partner and I had a great stay at Sandalwood! The location was less than 10 min from the beach and significantly cheaper than an Airbnb located on the beach. The amenities were great, the pool was a little small tho but offered chairs for sun bathing and enjoying an evening outside. Really appreciated the free parking as well. Located very close to downtown Hollywood with great local restaurants and bars. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is a quick 15 min north and offered more nightlife. If you’re looking for a place to stay that is close to the beach that doesn’t cost a fortune, I would stay at Sandalwood! Make sure you bring your own beach supplies or rent some chairs/cabana at the beach! And stop by Riptide Tiki bar (2300 N. Surf Rd.)! Live music and great drinks every day! Also conveniently located next to a parking garage!
