Get ready for bottomless mai tais: Nothing says summer like a great outdoor Tiki bar.

Just the idea quickly conjures up ocean breezes rustling through a palm-thatched roof while you sip a frothy drink, perhaps with a pineapple wedge garnishing the rim.

But you don’t have to go on a fancy vacation to belly up to one of these bars. You can enjoy your fruity cocktails year-round if you wind up with one of these half-dozen homes that come with Tiki bars and are on the market right now.

They’re all located in vacation destinations throughout the country, so if you own one, you could always rent it out for a little help with the mortgage payments.

Owning a home with its own outdoor tropical paradise might seem like a dream, but consider the options below. Your Tiki bar fantasy might just be within reach.

4430 Cape May Ave, San Diego, CA

Price: $2,998,98
Bar and spa: Nothing makes every day feel like a vacation like a retreat in sunny San Diego. This palm-filled Tiki bar even has a hot tub right next to the counter, perfect for sipping a cold drink while soaking in jetted water.

The rest of the house ain’t bad either. It features four bedrooms and three baths, plus a rooftop deck with a fire pit and ocean views. The spacious primary suite comes with a balcony.

And here’s the icing on the coconut cake: There’s a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath accessory dwelling unit above a three-car garage. It’s currently rented out for $3,000 a month. This sweet income is due to the property’s location in Ocean Beach, where you can see the fireworks from Sea World and walk to all the great shops and restaurants the area has to offer.
