$1,599,000 4 bedrooms plus media room and den 3 full and 1 half baths 3,843 square feet built 2003 Andalucía MLS TB8533043
From the front door your eye goes straight through the house to the canal and the harbor. This is a waterfront home in Andalucía, Apollo Beach’s 24-hour guard-gated waterfront community, sitting on one of the highest lots in the neighborhood, with no fixed bridges between the dock and Tampa Bay and a long list of the expensive things already done.
The water comes first
There are about 65 feet of frontage on a saltwater canal, and there are no fixed bridges on the way out, so height is not what limits you. Tampa Bay is about five minutes away by boat, and the dolphins and manatees come right up to the backyard.
The private dock has a 13,000 pound lift, and both the dock and the lift were rebuilt with a new control box and new bunks. Lifts are rated by weight, not boat length, so bring me your boat’s weight with fuel and gear and we will check it against that number. We will also check the depth at low tide along the route before you fall for the house.
Elevation, and why it matters here
This house sits on one of the highest elevated lots in Andalucía. It is in flood zone AE, so plan on flood insurance if you finance, but elevation is the single biggest lever on what that premium costs, and on the water that is a real advantage. Get the elevation certificate and a quote early. More on how it works in Is Apollo Beach in a flood zone?
The pool and the outside
A heated saltwater pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and an outdoor shower for coming in off the boat. The pool has a new variable-speed pump and a new 20/20 no-see-um screen, so evenings out there are actually pleasant. The lot is about 15,500 square feet and the house faces west, so you get the sunsets over the water.
Inside the house
The inside was redesigned by award-winning South Tampa designers, Mediterranean character with modern finishes: high ceilings, custom crown molding, Italian wood-look porcelain tile, custom cabinetry, impact-rated hurricane windows, a central vacuum system and custom built-ins in every closet.
The kitchen has a 48-inch Jenn Air dual-fuel range, Jenn Air appliances, marble counters, custom cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, and it opens to the family room with its marble ledger stone wall. There are also formal living and dining rooms, and a separate den that makes a good home office.
Upstairs
The primary suite is upstairs and opens onto a private waterfront balcony, with an ensuite bath that has dual vanities, a soaking tub and a separate shower. Three more bedrooms each have custom closets with built-in storage, and the large media room has French doors out to the balcony too.

- HOA: $995 per quarter
- CDD: none

No CDD is worth noticing on a waterfront home with a private marina in the community. The HOA covers the guard gate and the community amenities. If you want the difference explained, I wrote it up in CDD vs HOA.
Andalucía itself
Andalucía is 24-hour guard-gated and it is golf cart friendly, with a private marina, a clubhouse, a pool, tennis and a playground. It is one of the smaller, quieter waterfront communities in Apollo Beach, and the guard gate is a big part of why people choose it. More on the community on my Andalucía guide.
