Ask the sellers of this home about their favorite routine and they will tell you: sunrise coffee on the rooftop, watching cruise ships leave port. 🌅

From the rooftop terrace at 6408 Mayra Shores Ln, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 you can see Tampa Bay stretching to the horizon, the Tampa and St. Pete skylines, cruise ships heading out through the channel, and dolphins working the flats below. Sunrise coffee and sunset with friends happen in the same spot.

This four-story townhome in gated Brisa Del Mar has a private elevator serving every floor, and it has been refreshed with full interior paint, updated flooring with no carpet, all-new lighting and fixtures and two HVAC units from 2021. Ten-foot ceilings and eight-foot doors make it feel open and airy.

The layout: a 2-car garage on the ground floor; a family room, office or 5th bedroom, half bath and covered lanai on the second; open living, dining and the updated kitchen (dual-tone cabinets, granite, glass tile backsplash, convection oven, instant hot water) plus two bedrooms on the third; and on the top floor, the primary suite with a sitting area, private balcony, soaking tub and oversized shower, along with a second suite and the laundry room.

The heated community pool and spa are close by, and a short golf cart ride takes you to waterfront dining at Circles and Finn's and to the TECO Manatee Viewing Center. HOA covers the pool, grounds, repairs, pest, water, sewer and trash. No CDD. Flood zone AE.

5 bed, 3 full and 2 half baths, 3,222 sq ft. $649,000.

Sunrise or sunset, which would you watch from the rooftop first?

Ask the sellers of this home their favorite part of the day and they will tell you: morning coffee on the lanai. 🌅

825 Manns Harbor Dr, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 sits on one of the rare 100-foot-wide waterfront lots in MiraBay, lined with mature palms and bordered by the Wolf Creek Nature Preserve. The preserve behind you and the lagoon in front means privacy and long, protected views, with nothing but birds and the occasional boat heading out to the bay.

Built in 2021, the home was planned with care. An oversized office sits at the front, away from the living areas. The chef's kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, quartz, a gas cooktop with a custom hood, double ovens, an oversized island, lighted cabinets and a true butler's pantry with a vegetable sink and walk-in storage. The primary suite is on the first floor with a giant walk-in shower and a custom closet system.

Upstairs, the family loft is framed by nearly wall-to-wall windows looking across the MiraBay lagoon, there is a theater with full surround sound, and the west-facing balcony is the spot for sunsets over the preserve.

Outside there is more than 700 square feet of covered outdoor living, an outdoor kitchen, and a screened lanai around a heated pool and spa with a pool bath. The composite dock has water, power and a 13,000 lb lift. True wood floors, smart home wiring, tile roof, hurricane shutters and a 3-car garage round it out. Flood zone AE.

5 bed, 4.5 bath. $2,295,000.

What would your first morning on this lanai look like?

Look up next time you drive down US 41 or out to the water in Apollo Beach, and there is a good chance you will spot a big stick nest on top of a light pole or channel marker. That is an osprey home. 🐟

Ospreys are the fishing hawks of Florida. Their diet is about 99 percent live fish, and the way they catch them is something to see: an osprey hovers over the water, then drops feet-first to sn**ch a fish near the surface. Their talons are long and curved, and the pads of their feet have tiny spines that help them hold onto a slippery catch. Their wingspan can reach about six feet.

Most of our Florida ospreys stay here year round, and in spring and fall Florida is also a major stopover for ospreys migrating to and from South and Central America, so this time of year you may notice even more of them. Thanks to our mild winters, Florida ospreys nest earlier than birds up north, from about December through May.

They are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so enjoy them from a distance and leave their nests be.

Have you seen an osprey nest near your home?

Some buyers want to unpack a suitcase and start enjoying Florida the same week. This townhome is set up for exactly that. 🏝️

6407 Mayra Shores Ln, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 is a four-story townhome in gated Brisa Del Mar at the end of Apollo Beach Boulevard, and it is being sold furnished. A private elevator serves every level, so groceries, luggage and guests are easy.

The outdoor living is the standout. Remote-controlled retractable screens are installed on all three balcony levels, so morning coffee and evening dinners stay bug-free, and the fourth-floor rooftop patio has been tiled for open-sky afternoons and evenings.

Inside, the first level was converted into a private fourth bedroom that works for guests, an office or a gym. The second floor is open living, dining and a kitchen with refinished cabinetry, solid surface counters and crown molding. The entire third floor is the primary suite, with a big walk-in closet and a bath with dual sinks, stone counters and a separate tub and shower.

Recent care: a new water heater in 2026 and HVAC serviced in May 2026. The HOA covers exterior and grounds maintenance, water, sewer, trash, pest control and the community pool. No CDD. Flood zone AE. You are also minutes from the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve.

4 bed, 2 full and 2 half baths, 2,763 sq ft, 2-car garage. $639,000.

Who in your life would love a lock-and-go place like this?

When buyers ask me about the true cost of owning a home in Florida, they usually mean insurance and power bills. This MiraBay home has a great answer to the second one. ☀️

824 Islebay Dr, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 has a fully paid-off 18.4 kW rooftop solar system, owned outright, paired with a 14 kWh whole-home backup battery and a Lumin smart energy management system. That means lower utility bills month to month and a way to keep key circuits running when the power goes out during storm season.

The big-ticket items are already done too: a new roof in 2024, dual HVAC systems replaced in 2023, all-new kitchen appliances and fresh interior paint in 2026, new carpet in the bedrooms and an EV charging station in the garage. Out back, the screened heated pool has a newly installed Hayward heat pump, and the 36 by 30 lanai is ready for weekends.

Inside, the layout works for a lot of different households: primary suite and a second bedroom on the first floor, a dedicated office, a formal dining room, a living room with a gas fireplace, and a kitchen with a big island and walk-in pantry. Upstairs there is a 19 by 21 family room with hardwood floors and a bonus room with new French doors for a media room, game room or guest space.

Gated MiraBay with a $190 a year HOA, trails, pools, the waterfront cafe, pickleball and tennis. Flood zone AE.

4 bed, 4 bath, 3,848 sq ft, 3-car garage. $799,000.

How would you use that bonus room?

Here is a question I hear a lot from people moving to Florida: is there still a way to own on the water around Tampa Bay without a big price tag or a long weekend chore list? This is one of my favorite answers. 🌊

1028 Apollo Beach Blvd #104, Apollo Beach, FL 33572 at Anchor Point is a ground-floor 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo listed at $197,000. It has been updated top to bottom: fresh neutral paint, new interior doors, wood-look porcelain tile running through every room, and a renovated kitchen with solid plywood soft-close cabinets, granite, a stainless farmhouse sink and an induction stove. Both baths have new vanities with stone tops.

The double-pane hurricane-rated windows bring a lot of peace of mind, and the new insulated triple sliding doors open to a screened patio with its own storage room and direct access to the lawn and the water. The sellers say their favorite part of the day was morning coffee right there.

For boaters, the canal is deepwater sailboat water with no fixed bridges to Tampa Bay, and boat slips are first come. There is a community pool, an assigned parking spot right by the door and a separate storage unit on site.

The monthly condo fee covers water, sewer, trash, the pool, grounds, exterior maintenance and building insurance, so the true monthly cost is easy to plan around. No CDD. Flood zone AE.

Who do you know who would love a low-maintenance spot on the water?
