What Fort Lauderdale Airbnbs actually charge
The median listing in Broward County asks $262 a night across 17,698 listings — the largest of the four US markets we publish. Fort Lauderdale is the biggest single city in it, but it is not the priciest: that is Hollywood, at $300. Everything below is recomputed from the June 2026 Inside Airbnb snapshot.
The whole distribution, not the average
Every percentile below is computed from the listings that publish a nightly rate (16,504 of 17,698, or 93.3%). Half of the market sits inside the shaded band.
Broward is a beach-condo market, and the distribution shows it: a tight, crowded middle and a long luxury tail. Half of everything sits between $170 and $421, which is where the one- and two-bedroom condo inventory piles up. If your unit is in that band you are not competing on price — there are thousands of near-identical asks — you are competing on photos, reviews and whether the listing answers “how far to the water?” before the guest has to ask.
What to charge, by size
This is the table to start from. Find your bedroom count, and treat the 25th–75th percentile band as the range a listing like yours can defend without an argument. Going above the 75th requires a reason a guest can see in the photos.
| Size | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $149 | $196 | $259 | 4,728 |
| 2 bedrooms | $232 | $316 | $419 | 3,775 |
| 3 bedrooms | $331 | $415 | $536 | 2,266 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $474 | $642 | $968 | 1,815 |
Listings without a stated bedroom count are excluded, which is why these counts don't add up to the city total.
Price by city
The Broward dataset covers the whole county, so this column is the municipality rather than a neighborhood. The useful surprise is at the top: Hollywood carries a higher median ($300, +14.5%) than Fort Lauderdale itself ($275, +4.9%), on nearly as many listings. Hosts who price against “Fort Lauderdale” as a single market are pricing against an average that spans 34 municipalities.
| City | Median | vs city | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fort Lauderdale | $275 | +4.9% | 4,592 |
| Hollywood | $300 | +14.5% | 4,323 |
| Pompano Beach | $242 | -7.5% | 2,113 |
| Hallandale Beach | $252 | -3.8% | 1,741 |
| Deerfield Beach | $241 | -8% | 772 |
| Dania Beach | $214 | -18.2% | 578 |
| Wilton Manors | $286 | +9.1% | 517 |
| Lauderdale By The Sea | $268 | +2.4% | 493 |
The Broward County dataset covers the whole county, so this column is the municipality. Areas with fewer than 30 priced listings are left out — the median stops meaning anything below that.
Entire place, private room, or hotel room
Mixing these together is the most common way a host misreads their own market. The medians are far apart, and the mix determines what “the average listing in my city” even means.
| Type | Median | Share of market | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entire home/apt | $287 | 83.5% | 14,771 |
| Private room | $141 | 14.6% | 2,579 |
| Hotel room | $346 | 1.3% | 227 |
| Shared room | $54 | 0.7% | 121 |
The competition you can measure: reviews
Price is the number hosts obsess over; reviews are the number that decides whether your price is ever seen. Here is the field you are actually up against.
| Measure | Value | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Listings with zero reviews | 19.5% | 3,449 listings competing with no social proof at all |
| Median review count | 13 | Half the market is below this |
| 75th percentile | 49 | Clearing this puts you in the top quarter |
| 90th percentile | 109 | The established operators |
| Median rating | 4.85 | Among the 14,249 listings that have one |
| Rated 4.9 or higher | 41.2% | Of rated listings — this is the bar, not 4.5 |
| Rated 4.5 or higher | 86.3% | Below 4.5 you are in the bottom decile |
Amenities: table stakes versus differentiators
An amenity that 70% of your market already lists is not a selling point — it is a box you get penalized for leaving unchecked. One that fewer than 40% of listings can claim is worth putting in your title. We measured 4,773 distinct amenity labels in this market; these are the ones with enough volume to price against.
- Wifi — 94.5% of listings
- Air conditioning — 72.2% of listings
- Kitchen — 86.3% of listings
- Self check-in — 70.1% of listings
- Dryer — 30.2% of listings
- Pets allowed — 31.9% of listings
- BBQ grill — 35.5% of listings
- Pool — 36.6% of listings
- Elevator — 25.2% of listings
- Gym — 16.9% of listings
- Hot tub — 14.5% of listings
- Crib — 17% of listings
- EV charger — 3.1% of listings
| Amenity | With | Without | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pool | $322 | $269 | +19.5% |
| Hot tub | $376 | $275 | +36.7% |
| Free parking on premises | $263 | $322 | -18.2% |
| Self check-in | $295 | $261 | +12.9% |
Two findings here run opposite to the intuition, and both are about the water. A pool is worth more in Broward than in any other market on this site — $322 against $269, +19.5% — and at 36.6% of listings it is common enough that not having one is conspicuous.
Free parking runs the other way: entire places that offer it ask $263 against $322 for those that don't, or -18.2%. That is geography talking, not parking. The buildings closest to the beach are the ones with the least parking and the highest rates, so the amenity ends up as a proxy for being further inland. Do not read it as “charge less if you have parking” — read it as “parking is not the thing your rate is made of here.”
How to use this page
- Find your band. Bedroom count first, then adjust by your city using the percentage in the second table.
- Check where you sit in it. If you are below the 25th percentile for your size and area, you are likely leaving money on the table. Above the 75th, your listing has to look like it.
- Fix the free things first. Reviews, photos, title and amenity completeness move bookings without capital. The differentiator list above tells you which claims are actually scarce in your market.
Frequently asked
How much should I charge for an Airbnb in Fort Lauderdale?
The county-wide median asking rate is $262 per night, and Fort Lauderdale proper sits at $275. By size, entire one-bedroom places run $149 to $259, two-bedrooms $232 to $419, and four-or-more-bedroom places $474 to $968. From the June 2026 Inside Airbnb snapshot of 17,698 Broward County listings.
Which Broward city has the highest Airbnb prices?
Among the eight municipalities with the most listings, Hollywood has the highest median at $300 (+14.5% against the county median), ahead of Fort Lauderdale at $275. The lowest of the eight is Dania Beach at $214.
Is a pool worth it for a Broward County Airbnb?
It is the strongest amenity association in this market: entire places listing a pool ask a median $322 versus $269 without, a difference of +19.5%. 36.6% of listings have one. That is an association rather than a payback calculation — a pool also comes with a building and a location that command more on their own.
How many reviews does a typical Broward Airbnb have?
The median is 13 reviews, the lowest of the four markets, and 19.5% of listings (3,449) have none. Median rating among rated listings is 4.85 — also the lowest of the four, which means a well-run listing separates from the field faster here than elsewhere.
Is this booked revenue or asking price?
Asking price. These are published nightly rates before cleaning fees, service fees and taxes, and they do not measure occupancy or revenue.

- What the price is
- The base nightly rate as listed, in US dollars, with no conversion applied. It excludes cleaning fees, service fees and taxes, and it is an asking price — not a booked rate, and not revenue.
- Method
- Percentiles are computed by linear interpolation over the sorted sample. Medians are used throughout instead of averages because the tail is extreme enough to make an average meaningless.
