5 Florida Waterfront and Resort Retreats with Turnkey Appeal

Along the waterway out to Lake Eustis, this fully furnished retreat is designed for life on the water, with direct access to the Chain of Lakes and room for a pontoon or sailboat. A circular driveway winds through bamboo and palm trees to two large covered parking areas and a dock that holds up to two 30-foot boats. Inside, the layout keeps everyday living easy: two bedrooms and two full baths on the ground floor, plus a loft that works beautifully as a third bedroom, paired with a rooftop sitting area and deck for open-air dining and views. Details lean delightfully unconventional—Venetian plaster, themed décor, secret compartments, granite countertops, and a one-piece granite floor in the second bath—along with updated appliances, newer windows, refinished floors, shower towers, a water softener, and abundant storage with three sheds. Evenings can unfold to the sound of the waterfall just outside the living room.

Along the water’s edge in St. Augustine, this penthouse residence is defined by its sweeping, panoramic outlook. From the top floor, the view lines stretch across Camachee Marina, the Intracoastal Waterway, the St. Augustine Inlet, and the historic skyline of downtown St. Augustine—an ever-changing tableau from morning light to evening glow. Convenient elevator access delivers you directly to a private retreat above it all, where the city’s storied character meets the quiet rhythm of the marina below. With the inlet and waterways as a constant backdrop, daily life here feels oriented to the horizon, inviting unhurried starts and lingering nights framed by the moving boats and distant rooftops.

Along the water’s edge in the Homestead addition of Reunion Resort, this fully furnished, beautifully updated home is designed for easy gathering and effortless getaways. The kitchen has been widened and tastefully refreshed for a more open, functional flow, while wood-look laminate flooring replaces carpet throughout. Downstairs, a former flex room now serves as a true fourth bedroom, adding welcome accessibility for guests. The floor plan keeps entertaining front and center with a family room, dining area, stainless-steel kitchen, and a comfortable living room for movie or game nights. Through French doors, a private outdoor retreat unfolds with a brand-new pool deck and a crystal-clear pool. A 2022 roof replacement and a transferable 11-month home warranty add peace of mind, with Platinum Reunion Membership available to transfer. Days here can spill out to golf, restaurants, and resort amenities.

On a residential street in Davenport’s sought-after ChampionsGate area, this turn-key vacation rental is arranged for easy hosting and everyday comfort. Fully furnished and offered with seven bedrooms and five baths, the home is designed with large groups in mind, balancing generous private sleeping spaces with multiple gathering areas that encourage everyone to come together. A dedicated game room adds an extra layer of at-home entertainment, whether you’re planning family getaways or accommodating short-term stays. Just as appealing is the location: close proximity to Disney, along with nearby dining, shopping, and other Central Florida attractions, keeps outings simple and spontaneous. With flexible living space that supports both personal use and rental income potential, 1454 Myrtlewood Street sets the stage for repeat visits and effortless weekends.

Along the water’s edge on Santa Rosa Sound, this cleared lot offers a rare, ready-to-build setting in Navarre. With 112 feet of pristine, sandy frontage and a gentle slope down to deep water just offshore, the shoreline invites days of boating and paddleboarding. The high-and-dry, 0.41-acre buildable area sits at a natural elevation—14 feet above sea level at the front of the lot—with the top of the seawall rising over 12 feet for added protection, eliminating the need for pilings. Positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac within a subdivision yet exempt from the HOA, it combines quiet with freedom. Underground utilities including natural gas, electric, and sewer are available, and recent survey and wetland reports can be requested. Minutes from Navarre Beach, between Destin and Pensacola, it’s a coastal canvas designed for unhurried living.
