About This Property
77 FEET OF SALTWATER CANAL FRONTAGE — YOUR PRIVATE GATEWAY TO TAMPA BAY | Welcome to a beautiful waterfront retreat where coastal living, comfort, and convenience come together in one of Apollo Beach's most sought-after boating locations. Set on a protected saltwater canal with 77 feet of frontage and easy access out to Tampa Bay, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a rare find for boaters who want peace of mind without sacrificing lifestyle. And with no HOA and no restrictions, you're free to enjoy this waterfront freedom on your own terms. Inside, a bright, open floor plan welcomes you with natural light, spacious living areas, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Tile flooring runs throughout the entire home, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance foundation for the light-filled living and dining spaces, while the well-appointed kitchen opens directly to the main gathering areas—ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday life by the water. This home has been thoughtfully updated over the last six years for lasting peace of mind, including a metal roof, new electrical panels and wiring, hurricane impact windows and sliding doors, and hurricane shutters for added storm protection. An enclosed lanai extends the living space, offering a comfortable spot to take in the Florida breeze year-round. Outside is where this property truly shines. A beautifully landscaped, private waterfront oasis with lush grass and mature palms sets the scene, while a 2-car attached garage plus a covered carport and a second reinforced pad give boaters and RV owners all the space they need. The seawall has been rebuilt and raised above standard height, and the dock has been redone with durable, low-maintenance composite wood—giving you a turnkey launch point for a day on Tampa Bay or a front-row seat to spectacular Florida sunsets. Just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, marinas, and major commuter routes, this home offers the best of both worlds: the calm of protected waterfront living with quick, convenient access to everything Apollo Beach has to offer. Move-in ready and backed by major recent updates, this is a rare opportunity to own a true boater's paradise—homes with this combination of canal frontage, storm-hardened updates, and no HOA don't come around often.
