Description
TOP FLOOR RETREAT -- 151 Steps to the Gulf! Venus 308 is a top-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo on Okaloosa Island with the kind of old-Florida charm that's hard to come by. Nobody upstairs neighbors, great breezes, and just 151 steps to the sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf waters.
This turn-key unit comes complete with all furniture and appliances, including new stainless-steel appliances and an updated bathroom. Recent upgrades include new hurricane-rated windows and doors (2025) and new LVP flooring in the bedroom (2025) -- HVAC (2024) giving you peace of mind and a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Already an income-producing property via VRBO and other rental platforms, this condo is ideal for an investor or a second-home buyer alike. The HOA even includes cable TV and internet, and an onsite property manager makes ownership easy.
The Venus complex centers around a lush courtyard with an oversized pool, sunbathing deck, BBQ grill, and picnic areas -- plus tennis, pickleball, basketball, and shuffleboard courts on-site.
At 734 square feet, it's cozy, comfortable, and perfectly positioned for a Gulf Coast lifestyle or a turnkey vacation rental investment.
