Just 200 steps to the sand, this 3BR/2.5BA retreat delivers coastal living without coastal sticker shock and sits as the best-value 1st-tier Gulf property in the entire Plantation.

And yes — it performs. $104, 386 in 2024 gross bookings and $96, 977 for 2025 make Aquapelago a turn-key income generator for investors and second-home dreamers alike.
