Property Description

Welcome to the highly sought-after Gulf Highlands Beach Resort, a premier beachfront community offering resort-style living at its finest. Enjoy a stunning BEACHFRONT tropical pool, a private resort clubhouse with bar and grill, and breathtaking views of white sandy beaches, emerald-blue waters, and warm Gulf breezes. INVESTOR ALERT! This beautifully renovated townhome is a proven income-producing short-term rental with a strong history of high occupancy, excellent guest reviews, and impressive performance. The property generated close to $40,000 in gross rental revenue in 2024 and nearly $50,000 in 2025, all while allowing the owner frequent personal use. The current owner holds Premiere Host Status with a 100% acceptance rate and zero cancellations and has intentionally catered to a family-oriented guest base--minimizing issues commonly associated with spring break and party rentals. Financials and performance metrics are available upon request. For investor buyers, the owner is willing to offer co-hosting services for a small fee, allowing all existing listings, reviews, and rental history to transfer seamlessly. HOME FEATURES: This fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers an inviting open-concept floor plan with a spacious living area, durable tile flooring on the main level, modern lighting, and beautifully upgraded kitchen and bathrooms. The primary suite features a private ensuite bath, generous closet space, and a private covered balcony. Each room is thoughtfully designed with brand-new contemporary furnishings and stylish décor, creating a true home-away-from-home experience. The custom-designed, private fenced patio (extremely rare for this complex) is ideal for entertaining, pet-friendly living, and offers direct access to two of the resort's eleven pools. It also walks straight into the 18-hole mini-golf course! Two assigned parking spaces are located directly at the front door for added convenience. TURN-KEY READY: The home is being sold fully furnished and equipped with everything needed for short-term rental success, including quality linens, kitchenware, modern appliances, a beach cart, outdoor shower, beach toys, three bicycles, and a tankless water heater. Recent updates and meticulous maintenance ensure a hassle-free ownership experience--perfect as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. VERY LOW HOA FEES: Gulf Highlands Beach Resort HOA dues are just $1,122 per quarter ($374/month) and include internet/Wi-Fi, 24/7 security, gated access, pest control, and trash service. Resort amenities include 11 pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, free mini-golf, playgrounds, and exclusive access to a private beachfront restaurant, bar, and beachside pool. PRIME LOCATION: The resort is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions, including Rock'it Lanes Bowling & Arcade, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Wonder Works, Pineapple Willy's, Firefly, Bayou on the Beach, The Wicked Wheel, and many more.
