This property shines not only as a lifestyle purchase, but as a high-performing investment. Zoned for short-term rentals with no restrictions on owner use, the unit generated $73,000 in rental income in 2024 (despite storm-related booking disruptions) and $71,000 in 2025, making it a standout opportunity in a highly desirable market.
