Just Sold Driftwood Townhome 16
Just Sold: Investor Win 3 Blocks from the Beach in Miramar Beach
High demand. Low supply. Big upside.
This one checked every box—and it didn’t last long.
We’re excited to announce the successful sale of 257 Driftwood Rd #16, a modern 4BR / 4BA townhome just three blocks from the Gulf in the heart of Miramar Beach. Properties like this are exactly what today’s savvy investors are hunting for: walk-to-beach location, strong income potential, flexible floor plan, and long-term appreciation.
Why This Property Stood Out to Investors
This 2,018 sq ft townhome offers a rare combination of size, construction quality, and rental versatility—plus a private garage, which is increasingly hard to find this close to the beach.
Sold unfurnished, it presented a blank canvas for an investor-ready setup:
- Convert the first-floor bedroom into a game room or media space
- Add bunks and sleeper sofas upstairs
- Comfortably sleep up to 12 guests
- Proven nearby comps support $100K+ in annual rental potential
The layout, paired with strong guest appeal, makes this property a prime candidate for high occupancy and premium nightly rates.
Location = Bookings
Guests love convenience, and this location delivers:
- 3 blocks to Pompano Joe’s Regional Beach Access #49
- Lifeguards, restrooms, showers, and one of the widest public beaches in Walton County
- Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment
- Community pool just steps away
This is a proven rental corridor where walkability directly translates into stronger reviews, repeat guests, and consistent bookings.
Built for Performance
Investors also appreciated the quality construction and lower operating costs:
- Oak hardwood floors & porcelain tile
- Custom maple island & soft-close cabinetry
- Crown molding throughout
- Impact-rated windows & doors
- Metal roof
- Brick paver drive
- Low HOA fees
All the right details for durability, insurance advantages, and long-term ownership.
The Bottom Line
Whether used for:
- Portfolio expansion
- A 1031 exchange
- Or a second home designed to pay for itself
257 Driftwood Rd #16 delivered the ideal blend of cash flow, lifestyle, and leveraged wealth building on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
