Fort Lauderdale’s short-term rental market is on fire—and not just from the Florida sun. With Las Olas at the epicenter of rising tourism, hosts here pulled in over $600 million in Airbnb revenue last year, driven by travelers craving luxury, nightlife, and those postcard-perfect beaches.

Today’s featured listing? It’s the epitome of what guests want: a jaw-dropping, 3,000-square-foot townhome packed with $150K in upgrades, no HOA fees, and all the makings of a cash-flow machine. Think oversized bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, a rooftop terrace with Las Olas views, and a steam shower that practically screams “luxury retreat.” Plus, it’s just minutes from the airport, Tarpon River, and the heart of downtown.

Whether you’re catering to bachelorette groups or snowbirds seeking their slice of tropical heaven, this is a high-end property with the potential for sky-high returns.

Ready to turn “no HOA” into a huge ROI? Dive into this listing and others in today’s top picks.
