About this home
Prime investment opportunity directly on prestigious Beach Road in Siesta Key. This fully renovated, raised multi unit property offers strong short term rental income potential in one of Florida's most desirable coastal markets. The side by side duplex features a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit and a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit. Zoned RMF and legally permitted for nightly rentals, making it ideal for vacation rental investors. The current owner is available to continue managing the property for the next owner at only a 10 percent fee, with staff, cleaning crew, and maintenance vendors already in place. The property generated $393,000 in gross income in 2023, $323,000 in 2024 (with two months of downtime due to hurricane impact), and $291,000 in 2025 (still down from hurricane related effects), with 2026 year to date income of $192,000 through July. Recent updates include new AC systems in 2022, updated flooring in 2025, modernized plumbing in 2022, full electrical upgrades in 2022, and private hot tubs installed at each unit in 2022. Additional upside exists with completed engineering drawings to enclose the lower level, adding approximately 2,000 square feet and significant rental income potential. Just steps from the sand and close to Siesta Key Village shops and restaurants, this is a rare chance to own an income producing property in one of the top beach destinations in the country. Property is part of a very successful Airbnb portfolio consisting of three duplexes with cap rates exceeding 10 percent. Please inquire for details.
Sarasota Beach, located between Siesta Beach and Turtle Beach, is a coastal and residential Siesta Key neighborhood with sugar-white sand and Gulf-front sunsets. The neighborhood reads as low-slung beach cottages, mid-century condos, and newer elevated homes set behind palms and sea grapes. The character concentrates around the Siesta Key Village crossroads of Ocean Boulevard and Beach Road, where patios, ice-cream windows, and live-music rooms spill into the evening. Community pillars include The Cottage, Siesta Key Oyster Bar, and Siesta Key Rum. Beach access points and the paved Gulf-side paths shape a walk-and-bike rhythm. Calm side streets meet the water in short, sandy blocks.

The RMF Districts permit multifamily residential densities, which may take the form of a variety of housing types, including single-family detached, lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, townhouse, multiplex, or apartment units. These districts are used in areas having convenient access to both collector and arterial streets, and nearby civic and commercial uses, as well as employment opportunities; The RMF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Office Multifamily Residential Areas and Corridors, and Town and Village Centers on the Future Land Use Map, on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts, and Developments of Regional Impact. The RMF Districts, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Medium Density and High Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan. These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
