Dreaming of passive income and poolside margaritas? Say less. This gorgeous 3-bedroom, 3-bath multi-level home in Bradenton is just one house off Palma Sola Blvd and minutes from the powdery white sands of Anna Maria Island. Translation: prime location, tan lines optional. Currently living its best life as a successful Airbnb, this beauty pulls in around $7,000 a month during high season. So yes, it basically pays for itself while you sip iced coffee and pretend to answer emails. Prefer something more low-key? It rents long-term for about $4,200/month. Either way, your wallet will be doing a happy dance. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-concept layout that makes entertaining easy and awkward silences harder. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and enough space to cook dinner without elbowing your guests. Upstairs, there’s a spacious master suite plus two additional bedrooms. And downstairs? A versatile bonus room just waiting to become your office, yoga studio, game room, or "escape from the family" cave. Now let’s talk backyard: the pool is saltwater, heated, and ready to party year-round. Whether you're into cannonballs or cocktails, this backyard oasis was built for it. Recent upgrades include a newer roof (2021), newer AC and ductwork (2020), an electrical panel upgrade, new fence, saltwater pool conversion, and a heater -- because cold plunges are overrated. Perfect as a vacation rental, a second home, or your permanent Florida happy place, this home checks every single box. Sunshine? Check. Income? Check. Pool you’ll brag about on Instagram? Big check. Book your showing before someone else starts earning beach money in your dream house.
