With a projected **$85,000-$108,000 in annual rental income**, this exceptional coastal retreat offers an outstanding opportunity to own a luxury beach home with impressive investment potential. Located just steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf and featuring **deeded beach access**, this beautifully appointed residence embodies the best of Emerald Coast living. Unlike many homes in the area, until recently, this home has never been used as a vacation rental, allowing it to remain exceptionally well maintained and showing true pride of ownership. It offers buyers the rare opportunity to purchase a home with outstanding rental potential that has not experienced the wear and tear often associated with high-occupancy rental properties. Designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort, the open-concept floor plan features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless flow between the spacious living room, dining area, and gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and ample workspace, making it as functional as it is stylish. Offering four generously sized bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed as a private retreat, the home provides plenty of space for family and guests. Upscale finishes and inviting coastal décor create a warm, relaxing atmosphere throughout. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, second home, or a high-performing vacation rental, this property delivers the perfect combination of luxury, location, and income potential--all just moments from the Gulf's world-famous beaches. The home is being sold fully furnished, so bring your beach towel and get ready to enjoy the best the Emerald Coast has to offer!
