💰 $106K in Revenue on a $585K Purchase Price — With 197 Reviews Already in Place

Here's an interesting one for investors looking for an established, fully operational beach Airbnb without having to build the business from scratch.

Located in Surfside Beach, Texas, approximately an hour from Houston, this four-bedroom beach house has generated $106,205 in gross rental revenue over the last 12 months, with 239 booked nights and approximately 65% occupancy.

At the $585,000 asking price, that represents:

18.2% Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio

Or approximately 5.5x annual gross revenue.

But the bigger story may be the operational setup.

This is an off-market property being sold directly by the owner, who is willing to continue managing the home for just 10% of gross revenue.

That arrangement is intended to preserve the existing Airbnb and Vrbo listings, 197 reviews, 4.93-star rating, search visibility and future bookings, allowing the new owner to take over an established operation without relaunching it.

And with the home already operating, it may be especially interesting to investors looking to acquire an STR before year-end.

🛋️ Fully Furnished + Approximately $30K in Recent Updates

🔑 Existing Management Available at 10% of Gross Revenue

The investment case is built around a relatively new beach house with a proven rental history, strong guest reviews and an established operating infrastructure.

And unlike many STR acquisitions, this one comes with the opportunity to retain the existing management team and booking channels through the transition.

One important distinction: the seller's expense projections indicate this is more of a turnkey operating and potential tax-planning opportunity than a high-NOI investment at the asking price.

🌊 Three Minutes to the Gulf — Without Being Right in the Beach Traffic

One of the property's biggest advantages is its location.

The house is approximately a three-minute walk to the beach via boardwalk, close enough for guests to enjoy the Gulf without needing to drive.

But it's also positioned a few rows back from the beach-driving crowds.

That combination gives guests easy beach access while offering some separation from the vehicle activity directly along the shoreline.

The home also features two decks with water views, a fenced yard, an outdoor shower and space to park five vehicles.

And at approximately an hour from Houston, Surfside Beach is accessible for weekend trips and longer coastal getaways.

🎮 Designed to Entertain Groups of 14

This isn't just a beach house with extra beds.

The four-bedroom layout includes:

• Two king en-suites, including one on the main floor

• A bunk room sleeping six

• A second bunk room sleeping four

That configuration is designed to accommodate large families and groups.

The entertainment setup is another differentiator.

Guests have access to three full-size arcade cabinets, an Infinity Game Table, ping pong and cornhole beneath the house.

Add in the firepit, gas grill, outdoor shower and water-view decks, and the property gives guests plenty to do even when they're not on the beach.

For an STR that sleeps 14, those group-oriented amenities can be particularly valuable.

📈 $97K Already Booked in 2026 — With Revenue Growing

The historical operating numbers are worth examining.

October 2025–September 2026:

💵 $106,205 Gross Revenue

📅 239 Booked Nights

📊 ~65% Occupancy

💰 ~$444 Average Gross Revenue Per Booked Night

The seller also reports $97,100 in 2026 bookings as of October 6, already approximately 13% higher than the property's full-year 2025 revenue.

Revenue for January through September 2026 was reportedly up 29% year over year.

And December still had substantial availability at the time of the seller's report.

These figures indicate improving booking performance, although investors should review the reservation-level records and distinguish completed stays from future bookings.

The property also has 197 combined Airbnb and Vrbo reviews with a 4.93-star rating, along with Airbnb Guest Favorite and Superhost recognition.

That established reputation is a meaningful part of what a buyer would be acquiring through the proposed continued-management arrangement.

🔑 The Owner Will Continue Managing for Just 10%

This may be one of the most interesting elements of the deal.

The seller, Josh Corey, is willing to continue managing the property for 10% of gross revenue for the right buyer.

Josh owns and operates an existing vacation rental property management business with 15 properties under management and a 4.97 overall Airbnb rating across 1,395 reviews.

The proposed arrangement would keep the existing:

• Airbnb and Vrbo listings

• 197-review history and established search presence

• Existing bookings

• Pricing systems

• Cleaning team

• Day-to-day operating infrastructure

Rather than purchasing a property and creating entirely new listings, a buyer could potentially maintain the current operating setup through the existing manager.

The important detail is that continuity of the listings, reviews and bookings depends on retaining the seller's management arrangement and confirming the applicable platform and contractual requirements.

For someone seeking a more hands-off STR acquisition, that could be a meaningful advantage.

🔨 $30K Refresh Completed in April 2026

The home was built in 2022, so it's relatively new construction.

The seller also completed approximately $30,000 in updates in April 2026, including:

• Full interior repaint

• Exterior softwash

• Kitchen updates

• New furniture, rugs and bedding

• New televisions

• HVAC service

The property is being sold fully furnished and turnkey.

It also includes the approximately $3,000 professional photography package completed in April 2026, with the seller stating that the photo rights convey with the sale.

That means a buyer continuing the rental operation would have the furnishings, guest amenities and professional marketing assets already in place.

🧾 A Potential Year-End STR Tax Strategy Opportunity

There's another reason this property may appeal to certain buyers: year-end acquisition timing.

Because the home is already furnished, operating and accepting guests, a qualifying buyer may be able to place it in service shortly after closing, rather than spending months furnishing and preparing it.

The seller estimates approximately $497K in depreciable basis and suggests that a cost-segregation study could identify shorter-lived assets potentially eligible for accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation under current law.

The property's average guest stay is approximately 2.8 nights, which may also be relevant when evaluating whether the rental activity is treated as a short-term rental for federal tax purposes.

However, buying an STR does not automatically allow depreciation losses to offset W-2 income.

Actual tax treatment depends on factors including acquisition and placed-in-service dates, qualifying basis, cost-segregation results, personal use, material participation and the buyer's overall tax circumstances.

Buyers should review these assumptions with their CPA or tax advisor before relying on any projected tax savings.

📊 Understanding the Actual Cash Flow

The seller is transparent that this property is not primarily being marketed as a high-cap-rate investment.

Using an all-cash ownership model with management at 10% of gross revenue, the seller's pro forma estimates:

💰 Approximately $9,700 Annual NOI Without a Hot Tub

♨️ Approximately $15,000 Annual NOI With a Recommended $10K Hot Tub Addition

At the $585K asking price, those estimates translate to approximately 1.7% and 2.6% NOI yields, respectively, before financing.

The hot tub scenario is a projection, not historical performance, and its incremental revenue and expenses would need to be validated.

For investors prioritizing immediate cash flow, these are important numbers to consider.

The opportunity is better understood as an established, turnkey beach STR with a large gross revenue base, existing guest reputation, continued management and potential tax-planning considerations.

🌊 Flood Zone + Local STR Requirements

There are also several property-specific details buyers should understand.

The seller reports that Surfside Beach currently requires a $50 hotel registration and quarterly local occupancy-tax reporting, rather than an STR permit or numerical cap. Buyers should confirm the current local requirements before closing.

The property is elevated on pilings in FEMA Flood Zone VE, with the seller reporting construction approximately 1.4 feet above base flood elevation and no enclosure underneath.

The seller also reports:

• No prior flood claims

• Current flood insurance of approximately $2,200 per year

• Local occupancy-tax reporting handled by the existing manager

Given the coastal location, buyers should independently verify flood insurance availability, coverage, windstorm insurance, elevation documentation and the full cost of ownership.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out

💰 $106K+ Gross Revenue Over the Last 12 Months — approximately 18.2% of the asking price.

📈 2026 Revenue Growth — $97,100 booked as of October 6, already exceeding full-year 2025 revenue.

⭐ 197 Reviews at 4.93 Stars — established guest reputation across Airbnb and Vrbo.

🔒 Off-Market, Direct From Owner — an opportunity to speak directly with the current operator.

🔑 10% Management Available — proposed continuity of existing listings, bookings and operations.

🌊 Three-Minute Walk to the Gulf — close to the beach without being directly in the beach-driving traffic.

🎮 Sleeps 14 + Extensive Entertainment Amenities — designed for larger groups.

🏗️ 2022 Construction + $30K Refresh — newer construction with recent improvements.

🧾 Potential Year-End Tax Considerations — subject to individual eligibility and CPA review.

⚡ Bottom Line

$585K. $106K+ Gross Revenue. ~18.2% Gross Revenue-to-Price. 197 Reviews. 4.93 Stars. Sleeps 14. Three Minutes to the Beach.

This is an off-market, fully furnished Texas beach STR with documented historical gross revenue, a strong guest-review history and an owner willing to continue managing the operation for 10%.

The property has generated $106,205 over the last 12 months, and the seller reports continued revenue growth in 2026.

With a 2022 build, approximately $30K in recent improvements, extensive entertainment amenities and established booking channels, the operational side is already in place.

The tradeoff is cash flow: the seller's own NOI projections are modest relative to the purchase price, so buyers should evaluate the full expense history, insurance requirements, financing and any potential tax benefits carefully.

For the right investor, however, the combination of off-market access, operational continuity, guest reputation and potential year-end timing makes this a property worth a closer look.
