Rare opportunity at The Tides on Hollywood — a fully furnished 1BR/1BA residence with city views and partial intracoastal glimpses from a private balcony. Priced to reflect the building's ongoing structural and window recertification program, this turnkey unit is a compelling entry point for buyers planning ahead: renovation is anticipated to conclude in 2027, at which point short-term rental capability is expected to resume (a new owner will need to apply for their own city vacation rental license once the building reopens; existing licenses are currently suspended and not transferable). Interior features wood-look flooring, an open living/dining layout, and a bedroom with two beds plus a living-room sofa bed for flexible guest capacity. Building amenities include a beachfront pool, on-site laundry, and direct beach access. HOA includes water, WiFi, and basic cable. A special assessment is in place for structural and window recertification; buyer to verify amount and terms with listing agent. Sold turnkey, fully furnished — a value-oriented opportunity on Hollywood Beach.
