Hand troweled stucco, natural wood accents, and a barrel tile roof showcased by exposed rafter tails imbue this Blue Mountain Beach home on the Gulf of Mexico with authentic island charm. Conveniently placed on the ground floor, the open living areas and master bedroom of this Tom Christ architectural design give way to a wraparound covered porch overlooking the heated gulf front pool with infinity edge sitting spa and emerald surf lapping at 75 feet of sugar white beach. A seawall reinforces the dune bluff, and 30 pilings underpin the home itself. Concealing its side entrance is a walled courtyard. Rinse away beach sand under the outdoor shower with hot and cold water before entering into the thoughtfully placed laundry room and half bath. 2015 gross rental income totaled $235,947.86.

Supplements: Two pairs of second floor guest bedrooms, each sharing a bath, allow the home to accommodate 12 people in total with off street parking for seven vehicles.
