About this home

If you're looking for an Airbnb powerhouse, you've found it. With an experienced Airbnb host and aggressive pricing strategy, this fully furnished 7-bedroom, 8.5-bath Gulf-front beach house is built to support a high-capacity rental operation. Built in 2025, the property features a heated private pool, parking for up to 9 vehicles, no HOA restrictions, and direct beachfront access. The seller is also building a new construction home next door, creating a unique opportunity for buyers interested in expanding their Gulf-front investment footprint. The approximately 30 x 30 main living area is designed for large groups, with Gulf views from nearly every angle. The chef's kitchen centers around a 10 x 5 island with granite slabs imported from Brazil, dual refrigerators, wraparound seating, and a 75-inch wall-mounted TV. The home also includes 12 smart TVs, a 412-game arcade console, and a third-floor entertainment lounge with room for movies, games, a pool table, or air hockey. The primary suite features 16-foot ceilings, chapel windows overlooking the Gulf, and a private lounge with a coffee and wine bar. More than $150,000 in designer furnishings, accessories, and custom window treatments contribute to the home's turnkey appeal and reduce the need for immediate setup. Hurricane-impact windows, a 10-foot sliding glass door, triple-pane Therma-Tru doors, and a commercial-grade fire suppression system with 24-hour monitoring add notable durability and safety features. Outside, an approximately 30 x 25 beachfront deck overlooks a heated 12 x 23 Gulf-front pool with an 8 x 6 sun shelf and two heaters. A powder-coated aluminum safety fence helps secure the pool area while preserving Gulf views, and reinforced balcony railings provide an additional safety feature. The lot extends to the wet sand, providing direct beachfront access and space for beach gear and jet skis. The home was built on 12 x 12 concrete pilings driven 20 feet deep rather than traditional wood pilings. The exterior also features Hardie Board siding secured with stainless screws and a rust-resistant aluminum roof. Located minutes from Pier Park, Tootsies, Top Golf, and Dolly Parton's Pirates Voyage.

DirectionsHeading east on Thomas Drive, turn right onto Joan Avenue, then take another right onto Surf Drive. The home is located next to Gulf Crest Condominiums, right on the gulf. It's also located less than half a mile near the old Spinnaker building, now home to new Tootsies.
