This total uses the seller's 2025 tax bill and the county average insurance premium. What Florida changes uses 261's tax for the way you'd use it (with or without homestead) and only the insurance figure you enter, so its monthly figures can differ.

Living in it with homestead: about $5,611 at today's value (see What Florida changes).

What it collected

$101,767.56gross booked

It came through a variety of channels: Airbnb, VRBO, and MLS (lease).

The design touches, and a community rule that allows 12 leases a year, are why this home has commanded its rates for stays of 30 days or longer. It is not any furnished home in Osprey Preserve.

What a booked month brought in

about $7,006

Past rental income doesn't guarantee future results.

Owning it changes your taxes too. Rent out a homestead for more than 30 days a year, two years in a row, and the exemption ends; the tax page shows what changes for you.

The Place

The Place8 / 9Jensen Beach, from the front door

Nine minutes to the Atlantic.

Jensen Beach sits on the Indian River Lagoon, with the ocean across the causeway. 261 is on the mainland, and every time below is a drive from the community, without traffic.

Every dot is a real place, set in its true compass direction from the community. Distance from the center is drive time.
