SBR Commercial is proud to present an exclusive opportunity to purchase the Pelican Post Hotel in Bradenton Beach, FL on the beautiful Anna Maria Island. The Pelican Post is an 11-unit vacation hotel situated right in the heart of central AMI. Situated on almost 0.4 landscaped acres, the property is the ideal get-away for locals and out-of-town guests alike. The property’s eleven units are each individually decorated and unique in their own way to ensure every group can be accommodated. The rooms range from 250 sf studios to a 775 sf Cottage that sleeps six. With an average size of approximately 450 sf, these rooms are larger than your standard hotel accommodations. Each room is equipped with a full kitchen or a kitchenette, each fully-stocked to ensure a comfortable stay for the guests.
The Pelican Post has been personally managed by the owners, who have put the guests’ comfort and convenience front and center. The property currently boasts a 4.5/5 rating on TripAdvisor and a ranking of #9 of 53 for “TripAdvisor’s Best Values on Anna Maria Island” for good reason. The property offers guests free use of bicycles, beach chairs and beach towels during their stay in addition to luggage storage, comfortable tropical grounds and patios for each room.
The premier competitive advantage for the Pelican Post, however, is its unmatched location. The property is located only one block from the historic Bridge Street with its retail shopping, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. A guest can walk less than two minutes in either direction and either hit the Bay waters and its pier or the Gulf of Mexico waters and its famous beaches. Whether a guest is in town for a quiet get-away, fun on the sand or nights out on the town, Pelican Post is conveniently situated near all activities.
While the property is presently cash flowing with over $160,000 of net income, the owner-management has not fully-utilized the property. The property has an average room rate of approximately $165/night (ranging from $115 to $235 depending on room type and season) but a RevPAR of only $73.61 due to the owners not capturing occupancy during down seasons. This can be seen from Feb/March 2018, when RevPAR was $156 in-season. With Anna Maria Island having an average occupancy of 76.6% and RevPAR of $135.50 annually, there is a lot of room for a new owner to significantly increase the cash flow on this well-located, established hotel in the heart of one of the great island getaways in all of Florida!
