On the Emerald Coast, gulf-front properties with documented short-term rental income north of $167,000 a year don't need an introduction. They need a showing. This is 8011 Surf Drive, Unit A. Panama City Beach, FL. And it performs. Sitting on the quiet east end of PCB -- away from the congestion of Pier Park but still close to everything that matters -- Surf Drive is the kind of address serious vacation rental investors look for and rarely find. Low traffic. Semi-private beach frontage. Direct Gulf of America views from three stories of private living space. The property spans 3,076 heated square feet across three full floors. Five bedrooms. Five bathrooms. Multiple gulf-facing balconies on every level. A brand new hot tub. A 2-car garage. No shared amenities. No HOA fees cutting into your returns. No elevator banks full of strangers. Just a private Gulf of America beach house, ready to generate income from day one. The rental history speaks for itself.
