Quarterly landscaping services are included, allowing for effortless ownership. The home is conveniently located near James Lee Park, the Crab Trap, and pedestrian- and golf-cart-friendly Scenic Highway 98, placing beaches, dining, shopping, and grocery stores just minutes away. This established vacation rental currently generates nearly $90K(2025) annually as-is with $35K already on the books for 2026, and the potential to increase income to an estimated $115K-$138K annually with the addition of a private pool. Meticulously maintained and ideally positioned, this lakefront offering represents a rare opportunity to own a premier property in one of Destin's most sought-after gated communities.
