Remember When boasts accommodations for up to two dozen fortunate guests. It has been on our acclaimed Ocean Reef Resorts property management program for over seven years now. Current gross annual rental income is up to $102,608.53, and last year it came in at $140,000.

The home comes with lavish, comfortable furnishings and beautiful décor throughout, ready to use as soon as you close your purchase contract. Note that existing rental reservations must be honored, but future income would convert directly to the new owners upon closing.
Upon entry, the first floor includes an open living, dining, kitchen area, and game room with sleeping quarters. Rich travertine marble floors, soaring ceilings, and sunny palladium windows throughout this home provide a palatial setting. The living area has two pale blue love seats, two patterned accent chairs, and hardwood tables. They face a large flatscreen TV for entertainment mounted above a gas fireplace with a brown, richly veined marble mantle. It has two columned arches on each side with glass shelving that displays decorative art. A windowed turret nearby serves as an intimate sunroom with two chic brown checker-patterned armchairs. A wide portal flanked by three sets of classic Corinthian columns graces the main living area and leads into the large open gourmet kitchen.
The kitchen includes custom cream-colored cabinetry richly accented by veined granite countertops and gleaming black ebony appliances. An entertainment island with bar seating invites you to enjoy savory drinks and tasty appetizers.
Another wide arched portal framed by two columns leads into a formal dining room with a vintage chandelier above a rustic beach-inspired hardwood table with six chairs beside windows with a glass door looking out upon a swimming pool.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom and two beautifully furnished guest bedrooms are on the second floor, with ensuite baths and direct access to the furnished upper-level balcony.

A charming cottage-styled guest bedroom with a king-size bed and two twin beds has an ensuite bath with a tub shower combination.
A guest bedroom on this floor also has a king-size bed, a twin bed in a sunny turret, an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and a private balcony overlooking the pool.
The top floor has a guest bedroom with a king, and a twin-size bed adjoins another guest bedroom with two twin beds. These guest quarters share a bath with a walk-in shower.
Step onto the upper third-level balcony, which is accessible from each bedroom, and enjoy gorgeous views of the glowing gulf in the distance.
As if this home wasn't fun enough, a game room includes a painted sky blue floor, a pool table, a card table, a tan couch, and a large wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Two custom-built white bunks with four queen size beds off to the side each have private flatscreen TVs.
