A large paver patio, hot tub, and outdoor shower offer the perfect setup for relaxing and entertaining — with zero grass and zero maintenance. A detached backyard shed with electrical rounds out the space, ready to serve as a workshop, storage, art studio, or finished flex retreat. A private driveway provides convenient off-street parking. Just two blocks from the Gulfport Marina and Clam Bayou Nature Preserve, you have immediate access to walking and biking paths, kayak and boat launches, and open water views of Boca Ciega Bay — where manatees and dolphins make regular appearances. Gulfport is one of Tampa Bay's most beloved waterfront communities, known for its weekly arts markets, live music, walkable Beach Boulevard, local breweries, coffee shops, and a laid-back coastal culture that's hard to replicate. Lock up and leave, or settle in full time — this neighborhood supports both effortlessly. No flooding or hurricane damage through the 2024 storm season, or ever, to the seller's knowledge. Flood insurance quote available for under $1,500/year upon request.
