Turnkey, high-income short-term rental opportunity at Lyfe Resort and Residences. Unit 2207 is a fully furnished, high-floor residence optimized for Airbnb and vacation rentals, with no rental restrictions and strong historical demand in one of South Florida’s top-performing rental markets. This unit delivers the features guests pay a premium for—floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping ocean and skyline views, a private balcony for sunset experiences, and a modern open layout designed for comfort and style. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, while a spacious bedroom and upscale bathroom create a true luxury stay that drives higher nightly rates, occupancy, and repeat bookings. Investors can expect strong gross revenue potential driven by high ADR and occupancy trends in the area. Comparable units in the building consistently generate attractive annual returns depending on management strategy and owner usage. This is a true plug-and-play investment—ideal for buyers seeking immediate cash flow with appreciation upside. Opportunities in buildings with no rental restrictions, premium amenities, and proven rental demand are increasingly limited. Secure a high-performing asset in a prime coastal market before inventory tightens further.
