Hutchinson Island Hospitality for Sale - St Lucie Coastal
SEAHORSE BEACH BUNGALOWS — 17-KEY RENOVATED BOUTIQUE HOTEL · NORTH HUTCHINSON ISLAND, FL
Florida Dreams Realty Group is pleased to present Seahorse Beach Bungalows, a fully renovated 17-key boutique hotel offered for sale by the long-term private owner. The Property sits one block from the Atlantic Ocean on the same 28-mile barrier island that hosts Disney's Vero Beach Resort, Costa d'Este, Kimpton Vero Beach, Windsor, and Orchid Island, but at North Hutchinson Island entry-tier pricing.
THE OFFERING
$5,995,000 · $352,647 per key · 7.11% going-in cap · 11.96% stabilized cap on $717K pro forma NOI · 21% discount to a 9.5% target-cap fair value of $7.55M · priced below replacement cost.
TURNKEY ASSET — ZERO PIP EXPOSURE
$1.5 million top-to-bottom renovation completed 2023–2026. Every room gutted and reopened with custom FF&E, walnut kitchenettes, quartz counters, two-burner cooktops, Keurig, air-fryer, and full refrigeration in all 17 units. New HVAC mini-split systems across all 17 units, new metal roof on the 2-floor 1925 building (2024) that houses 4 units, full interior renovation of flooring, paint, bathrooms, lighting, and millwork.
Q1 2026 STABILIZED PERFORMANCE — FIRST FULLY OPERATIONAL QUARTER AT 17 KEYS
Revenue $184,447 · Occupancy 77.3% · ADR $170.04 · RevPAR $131.32. This is the baseline from which the pro forma 2028 stabilized NOI of $717,000 is built — supported by continued OTA review-ladder maturation, brand-repositioning ADR-lift toward same-barrier-island peers ($240–$525), and compounding macro tailwinds.
15 OF 17 ROOMS ADA ACCESSIBLE — RARE MARKET DIFFERENTIATOR
Roll-in showers with grab bars, teak fold-down shower benches, LED anti-fog mirrors, floating quartz vanities, widened doorways throughout. ADA accessibility dramatically expands the addressable guest market and qualifies the Property for corporate, government, and medical-tourism bookings that most boutique competitors cannot capture.
ROOM MIX (17 KEYS)
2 Queen Guest Rooms ($195 ADR) · 10 Queen with Kitchenette ($205 ADR) · 5 Double-Queen Suites ($225 ADR sleeping up to 6). Blended $208 ADR.

FOUR VALUE-ADD UPSIDE LEVERS
(1) ADR convergence to barrier-island peers — closing half the gap to Seaspray Surf Lodge ($240) adds $70K–$100K NOI annually at zero capex. (2) Events, retreats & buyouts — 34+ overnight capacity, landscaped courtyard, pet-friendly, no incumbent F&B; destination wedding / corporate retreat program could add $75K–$150K ancillary revenue. (3) Physical expansion 2–5 additional keys — septic-to-sewer conversion and HIRD zoning support; each key adds ~$45K revenue and ~$33K NOI annually. (4) Pool amenity — approved architectural plans ready to execute, typical 10–15% ADR lift, build cost $180K–$240K, revenue impact $85K–$130K annually.
Combined, these levers support a strategic-buyer ceiling of $10.0M–$11.6M over a 24–36 month repositioning horizon.
