Build a Studio. Create Passive Income.
OnlyVistas specializes in one thing: turning underused space on your Florida property into a fully permitted, income-generating efficiency studio apartment or ADU. Whether you want to host on Airbnb, add a long-term rental unit, or house a family member — we design and build it from permits to final walkthrough.
Efficiency Studio Apartments
Smart, code-compliant studio units that maximize rental income and fit seamlessly on your existing property. We build compact, beautifully designed studios that tenants and guests actually want to live in — modern finishes, durable materials, and layouts built for the long haul.
Home Additions & ADUs
Permitted accessory dwelling units and room additions that create passive income without leaving home. We handle every step — engineering, permitting, construction, and final inspection — so you don't have to.
Airbnb-Ready Builds
Turnkey short-term rental units designed and built to attract guests and maximize nightly rates. We build with Airbnb hosting in mind — smart layouts, high-end finishes, and durable materials that hold up to short-term rental demand.
Garage & Space Conversions
Turn unused garages, bonus rooms, and attic spaces into fully permitted rentable studio apartments. These conversions offer some of the best ROI in residential real estate — and we make the process simple.
New Construction Studios
Ground-up studio builds and multi-unit efficiency complexes for serious real estate investors. From single detached studios to small multi-unit efficiency buildings, we build investment properties that generate real returns.
Kitchen & Bath Renovations
Full kitchen and bath upgrades that boost guest reviews, rental rates, and property value. The two spaces guests care most about — we build them right.

Studio Apartment & ADU FAQ
What is an efficiency studio apartment?
An efficiency studio is a compact, self-contained living unit with a combined living and sleeping area, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. They're ideal for Airbnb rentals, long-term tenants, in-law suites, or workforce housing — and they generate passive income from space you already own.
Do I need a permit to add a studio or ADU in Florida?
Yes. In Florida, any new construction or conversion of a space into a habitable unit requires building permits and inspections. OnlyVistas handles all permitting and inspection coordination — you don't have to deal with any paperwork.
How much does it cost to build an efficiency studio in Florida?
Costs vary by size, finishes, and scope. Garage conversions typically start lower, while detached ADUs and ground-up studios run higher. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates after visiting your property.
Can I use my studio as an Airbnb?
In most Florida cities, yes — though some municipalities have short-term rental regulations. We're familiar with local rules across Florida and can advise you on what's permissible for your specific property and city.
How long does it take to build an efficiency studio?
A garage conversion or simple ADU typically takes 6-12 weeks once permits are approved. Detached new construction studios generally run 10-16 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
