Property Description
Toucan's Towers short term rental DUPLEX in an X FLOOD ZONE is a rare find in Mexico Beach! Multifamily property with gulf views and walking distance to, you guessed it, Toucan's on the Beach restaurant (coming soon again to Mexico Beach!). A short stroll down to the white sand beaches of the gulf with incredible opportunity for both full-time living AND short term or long term rental investing. Live on one side, rent the other. Rent both. Occupy both for yourself or family/friends! The options are truly endless. Each side is independent of the other with separate parking under the home and entrances. At both 715 and 717 Fortner Ave, you'll find gulf views, convenient location, great proximity to the beach, restaurants nearby, etc! If you are looking for a ''no brainer'' investment along the beautiful Forgotten Coast, it has arrived. The sellers have very loosely rented this property - too good not to use for themselves!!
