The listing puts it well: boat out to the sandbar, watch the sun drop over Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway, and be back at the dock before dark, on a Tuesday. The back of this house faces west, so the pool deck, the patio and the dock all get the sunset.
5722 Sea Trout Place is a 4-bedroom, 3,360-square-foot MiraBay home on a saltwater canal with access to Tampa Bay, a 12,000-pound remote-controlled lift, a solar-heated saltwater pool and a dedicated theater room. The price was just reduced to $1,199,000.
The water and the boat lift
The home sits on a saltwater canal in MiraBay with access to Tampa Bay, and the listing puts the bay minutes away. Because it is on a canal and not the MiraBay lagoon, there is no community lift to go through on the way to the bay, and the same open water brings dolphins and manatees right past the backyard. The dock has a 12,000-pound remote-controlled boat lift with walking panels on both sides, which makes loading gear and getting on and off the boat a lot easier. The seller will consider selling the boat at a discounted price.
- 12,000-pound remote-controlled lift
- Walking panels on both sides of the lift
- West-facing backyard for sunsets
- Seawall maintenance is covered by the CDD
Lifts are rated by weight, not length. We will check your boat’s loaded weight against the 12,000-pound rating, and look at the route out and any bridge clearance against your boat’s height before you commit.
The pool and patio
The solar-heated saltwater pool sits on a stone paver patio framed by mature foxtail palms. The pool lighting is newer LED, and the pool and landscape lights run on timers. The variable-speed pool pump is from 2022 and the saltwater system is new in 2025. Concrete curbing around the home and pool landscaping was finished in 2022.
A floor plan you will not find elsewhere in MiraBay
This is a one-of-a-kind floor plan in the community, spread across two floors. Downstairs there is a formal dining room, a private office with French doors, and a gas fireplace. Crown molding runs throughout the first floor and solid-surface flooring flows from room to room.
Upstairs there is a large loft, a built-in student workspace, and a dedicated movie theater room where every piece of equipment stays with the house.
The kitchen and baths
The kitchen has newer quartz countertops and backsplash. The quartz, sinks and faucets were updated in every room, the backsplash in every bath, and the primary bath has newer tile on the tub surround, floor and shower. The living area and primary bedroom have remote-controlled electric blinds.
