534 Estuary Shore Lane, Apollo Beach, FL 33572
$1,374,000 4 bedrooms 2 full and 1 half baths 3,322 square feet built 2023 Veneto Shores MLS T3513081
A 2023 Bistro Builders home on a saltwater canal in the gated community of Veneto Shores, with a private dock and lift, no bridges between you and Tampa Bay, and a backyard built for being outside: a heated pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a covered deck right over the water.
The water comes first
The house is on a saltwater canal with a private boat dock and lift, and there are no bridges or obstructions on the way out, so height is not what limits you and you are only minutes from the bay.
The listing does not publish the lift’s weight rating, so I will get it for you rather than guess. Lifts are rated by weight, not boat length, so what has to fit is your boat with fuel and gear. We will also check the depth of the canal at low tide along the route against your boat before you fall for the house.
The pool and the outside
A heated pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen with a grill, a refrigerator and an ice maker, and a lower balcony that opens straight to the pool. The primary bedroom has its own balcony looking over the backyard, the canal, and the sunsets over Tampa Bay.
Built to last
This is block construction with solid concrete floors, hurricane-impact windows and doors, and a full alarm system. The house was built well above the flood plain. It is in flood zone AE, so plan on flood insurance if you finance, but elevation is the biggest lever on that premium, so get the elevation certificate and a quote early.

Inside the house
The kitchen has top-tier appliances, quartz waterfall counters, custom cabinets, a double sink and a pot filler, with a bar and wine area next to it. The living and dining areas have a fireplace, triple tray ceilings and custom LED and accent lighting, and the glass throughout keeps the whole house bright.
The primary suite has a freestanding tub, a large glass walk-in shower, a dual-sink vanity next to built-in closets, and a fireplace in the bath. The bathrooms have high-end mirrors and electric toilets. Custom epoxy floors run through the house, and the garage has overhead built-in storage and premium epoxy flooring too.
What it actually costs to own
This is the part most listings leave out, so here it is.
- 2024 property taxes: $14,494
- HOA: $1,000 per year
- CDD: none
- Flood zone: AE
Low HOA dues and no CDD on a gated waterfront street is a real advantage. If you want the difference explained, I wrote it up in CDD vs HOA.
Veneto Shores and the neighborhood
Veneto Shores is a small gated community on the water in Apollo Beach. You are close to the TECO Manatee Viewing Center and across from the Florida Aquarium’s sea turtle rescue center, so the wildlife really is part of daily life here, and the lot is 42 by 135 feet, facing north.
