1303 GULF DRIVE S, Bradenton Beach, FL 34217

This property, zoned R-2 (Residential-2), is intended for medium-density residential development, accommodating single-family homes, duplexes, attached townhomes, and potentially multi-family dwellings. The zoning maintains a residential character with adequate open space. Offered strictly for land value, this is a rare opportunity to acquire the entire Gulf Reach Condominium site, consisting of three attached units with separate folio numbers, sold together as one redevelopment package. Located in a strong short-term rental and redevelopment corridor of Bradenton Beach, the lot is suitable for building a primary home or an investment vacation rental, with zoning allowing 1–7-day vacation rentals. The property has historically operated as a successful VRBO/Airbnb location, benefiting from consistent island demand, exceptional walkability, and immediate proximity to the Gulf beaches and the Bridge Street district. The address has proven its desirability as a vacation-rental destination. The seller will consider buyers who obtain appropriate approvals and require a due-diligence period to evaluate redevelopment feasibility, permitting, and design. A major upside of this site is its future view potential. With elevated new construction, a buyer can achieve full Gulf views as well as Intracoastal Waterway views, with the beach directly across the street and no structures obstructing sightlines. The property is the second-to-last lot on this stretch of the island, offering a strategic location with quick and convenient access north to Anna Maria Island or south toward Longboat Key and St. Armands Circle. The lot size is 0.16 acres. Utilities are already in place, and the site is surrounded by beaches, parks, boat ramps, fishing access, dining, shopping, and island amenities. It is located in BRADENTON BEACH, FL. Ideal for builders, developers, 1031 exchange buyers, or experienced short-term rental investors seeking a proven address with significant upside through elevated new construction in a supply-constrained barrier-island market.
