Epic rooftop St. Augustine Beach case study: $1.55M Purchase → $450K Transformation → $450K Annual Revenue

We helped transform 3 First Street from a dated St. Augustine Beach property into SkyDeck Surf House, a destination short-term rental designed to compete at the very top of the market. Purchased for $1.55M, the owners invested approximately $450,000 into design, renovations, a pool and high-impact guest amenities, bringing the total investment to roughly $2M. The finished property is projected to generate approximately $450,000 in annual gross rental revenue — demonstrating what can happen when the right property is paired with intentional design, experience-driven amenities and a strong short-term rental strategy.
