260 Blue Gulf Dr, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

This charming move-in-ready beach cottage sits on an almost quarter-acre lot with ample space for a newly built home, if desired. The existing home could comfortably be lived in while you build your dream beach house. It could then be repurposed as an income-generating vacation rental or used as the perfect guest cottage to complement your new home. Alternatively, enjoy the beach cottage as-is, complete with a spacious, shady lot, prime location and a laid-back beach lifestyle. Fully furnished, it's the perfect lock-up-and-leave beach retreat with a surprising amount of storage. This charming property is located between two public beach access points on a high-and-dry elevation and has durable construction, including impact-resistant windows and doors. Steps lead up to a generous front porch, which is sure to be your favorite place to lounge and relax after a day of swimming, shelling and shopping. Inside, this chic retreat has a well-designed floor plan offering a flow of rooms, including a comfortable living room, two bedrooms and an updated bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Fresh LVP wood flooring and neutral decor create a restful ambiance throughout. A raised step-up bar with a long countertop offers both functionality and an open, connected feel. Sit on tall stools and enjoy a cocktail while chatting with the cook. The spacious master bedroom has a walk-in closet. A door provides access to a second covered porch for starting the day with a peaceful morning coffee while listening to happy birdsong. The generous pine-covered lot offers plenty of dappled shade for outdoor living and dining. There's ample space for parking multiple vehicles, and a large 8'x12' shed provides storage for bicycles, beach chairs and more. This versatile beach cottage has a history of vacation rentals, making it suitable for investors or buyers who want to use the cottage part-time while renting it out when it is not required. With no HOA to worry about, you can enjoy lower operating costs, endless flexibility and no rental restrictions. Welcome to Blue Mountain paradise!
