🏖️ A Proven $143K Revenue Year Near 30A
This one combines three things we like seeing in a beach-market STR:
a relatively new home, proximity to the beach and actual historical rental performance.
This 4-bedroom Inlet Beach property reportedly generated:
$143,810 in Gross Rental Revenue in 2024
At the current $950K asking price, that historical performance equates to approximately a:
15.1% Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio
The home was built in 2022, sleeps up to 13, comes fully furnished and sits less than a mile from the beach, near Rosemary Beach and the entrance to Scenic Highway 30A.
And there's still room for the next operator to put their stamp on it.

💰 The Investment Case
The most important thing to understand about the revenue here is who generated it and when.
Under prior ownership, the property reportedly generated $143,810 in gross rental revenue during 2024.
It then reportedly generated $109,170 through September 2025, with approximately $21K in additional future bookings secured at that point.
The property subsequently changed ownership and management, so we wouldn't assume those historical numbers automatically represent what the current operation will produce going forward.
But they do demonstrate something valuable:
This house has already shown that it can generate substantial STR revenue.
Using the $143,810 historical 2024 figure against today's $950K asking price gives you a ~15.1% gross revenue-to-price ratio, equivalent to approximately 6.6x historical gross revenue.
That's not a cap rate—expenses still need to be analyzed—but it's an interesting top-line track record at this price point.
📈 The Opportunity: Build on What Already Worked
This isn't necessarily a story about maintaining the exact existing operation.
There's an opportunity for a new investor to take a property with demonstrated historical performance and optimize it again.
That could mean improving pricing and revenue management, expanding marketing, strengthening the guest experience and adding amenities that help the home compete against nearby rentals.
Two relatively straightforward opportunities already identified are:
🚙 Adding a Golf Cart
🔥 Upgrading the Patio + Outdoor Entertainment Areas
For a beach rental that already sleeps 13, those additions could make the overall guest experience more complete without requiring a fundamental transformation of the house.
🌴 The Location Is a Major Part of the Story
The home sits at the gateway to Scenic Highway 30A, less than a mile from the shores of Inlet Beach.
Guests are positioned near Rosemary Beach, Camp Helen State Park and the shopping and dining at 30Avenue.
There's also convenient access toward the 30A corridor through the newer pedestrian passage beneath Highway 98.
For an STR, that means the property can market more than simply “Florida beach vacation.”
It's positioned to benefit from the broader 30A/Inlet Beach experience while carrying a purchase price below many homes located directly inside some of 30A's most expensive communities.
🏖️ Built for Group Beach Trips
The home has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and sleeping capacity for up to 13 guests, giving it the ability to target larger family and multi-family trips.
Across three levels, guests get multiple balconies and outdoor spaces alongside an open-concept main living area.
The kitchen includes a large island, pantry and gas range, giving bigger groups the space to actually cook and gather together.
And the sale includes more than just the furniture.
There are also five bicycles, beach equipment and coolers, allowing the next owner to inherit much of the setup guests need for a beach vacation.
🔑 Newer Construction + Turnkey Setup
Built in 2022, this isn't an older coastal property that immediately presents a long list of aging major systems.
The roof, HVAC equipment and water heater are all reported as original to the 2022 construction.
The home is also being offered fully furnished and STR-ready, reducing the time and expense involved in getting a four-bedroom beach rental operational.
Add in the community pool and the fact that short-term rentals are allowed according to the listing, and much of the underlying vacation-rental infrastructure is already there.
📊 The Investment Story
💰 $950K Purchase Price
💵 $143,810 Reported 2024 Gross Revenue
📊 ~15.1% Historical Gross Revenue / Price
🔢 ~6.6x 2024 Gross Revenue
📈 $109,170 Reported Through September 2025
🏖️ Less Than 1 Mile From the Beach
👥 Sleeps Up to 13
🌴 Near Rosemary Beach + 30A
🏊 Community Pool
🚲 5 Bicycles Included
🛋️ Fully Furnished + Turnkey
🏡 Built in 2022
The thesis: buy a newer, turnkey Inlet Beach STR at a $950K basis that has previously demonstrated $143K+ annual gross revenue, then work to optimize the operation and build on that historical performance.
💸 Financing
With an established rental history and a $950K acquisition price, this could be worth evaluating with lenders that understand vacation-rental properties and STR income.
Depending on the borrower, property and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio and other STR-focused financing options.
If you're trying to determine what your down payment could look like, whether the property's historical rental revenue can help it qualify, or which loan structure makes the most sense for your situation, our STR lending partner can help walk you through the options.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
💰 $143K+ Historical Revenue
The prior operation reportedly generated $143,810 in 2024, equivalent to ~15.1% of today's asking price.
🏖️ Less Than a Mile From the Beach
A straightforward location story that's easy to market to vacationers.
🌴 Gateway to 30A
Rosemary Beach, Inlet Beach and the 30A corridor are all nearby.
👥 Sleeps 13
The 4BR layout can accommodate the larger family and group trips that beach markets attract.
🔑 Turnkey + Furnished
Furniture, five bikes and beach gear are already included.
📈 Room to Optimize
A golf cart, enhanced outdoor areas and stronger revenue management provide potential avenues to improve the guest offering.
⚡ Bottom Line
$950K. $143K+ Historical Revenue. ~15.1% Historical Gross Yield. Less Than a Mile From the Beach.
The important distinction here is that $143,810 isn't a future AirDNA estimate—it was reportedly generated by the property under prior ownership in 2024.
That doesn't guarantee the next owner will reproduce it, especially after changes in ownership and management.
But it gives investors something valuable to work from:
evidence that this specific house has previously performed at a meaningful level as an STR.
At $950K, you're getting a 2022-built, fully furnished 4-bedroom property that sleeps 13, sits less than a mile from the beach and is positioned near Rosemary Beach and the 30A corridor.
The opportunity is to take a property that's already shown what it can do—and build the operation back toward, or potentially beyond, that historical performance.
