About this home
INCOME-PRODUCING SHORT-TERM RENTAL - Turnkey waterfront income-producing short-term rental with direct Gulf access in the hidden gem community of Weeki Wachee Gardens! This fully furnished elevated stilt home is compliant with local short-term rental requirements and has booked revenue through Summer 2026, making it an exceptional investment opportunity, vacation retreat, or full-time residence. Enjoy the ultimate waterfront lifestyle with quick access to the Gulf via the Mud River, and room for your jet skis, kayaks, and fishing gear. Dolphins and manatees regularly cruise the canal, while world-class fishing, scalloping, and paddleboarding are just minutes away. And thanks to its elevated stilt design, past flooding events have been minimal--more of an inconvenience than a disaster--with only the ground-level laundry/utility area affected while the main living space remained untouched. With no HOA, short-term rentals allowed, and endless opportunities for waterfront adventure, this is the coastal lifestyle you have been searching for.
