This is your chance to own an affordable WATERFRONT HOME in an active 55+ community. Tucked away in gated Caribbean Isles Residential Cooperative in Apollo Beach, this adorable canal-front home has a NEW DOCK, NEW 8,000 pound BOAT LIFT and NEW HVAC - and requires NO LOT RENT as you own an ownership share in the Cooperative. The monthly maintenance fee is a more-than-reasonable $211 per month. With more than 1400 square feet of space, you can stretch out and enjoy the true Florida Lifestyle. Located on a canal with access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the home features a new paver patio and walkway to the boat lift (the boat may also be available, but will be sold separately). Enter the home through French Doors from the newly screened in Florida Room. You’ll love the open, updated kitchen with the tiled-counter breakfast bar and beadboard walls. The extended living room opens up the kitchen into a great room. With built-in additional shelving, you’ll find more than enough room for the many books you might have been putting off reading, supplies for crafts, games, hobbies, or for special dinnerware for entertaining friends. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one that is an ensuite with a walk-in shower. Check out the custom ceiling treatment in the master bedroom. With approximately 50 feet of canal at your back door, bring you boat and water toys! There is also an alcove in which to park your golf cart, or to use as an open front patio. Storage for boats and RV’s is also available on site for only $120 to $250 PER YEAR per space. Caribbean Isles is especially suited to the seasonal, as well as the year-round retired, or soon to be retired, resident. When you aren't taking advantage of the gorgeous Florida weather yourself, you can rent out your home (for a minimum of one month, maximum of six) between October and May. The home comes fully furnished, so you’ll only need to pack your clothes to move in. The roof is only 6 years old. The LG washer dryer combo has been another recent addition. You’ll find a storage shed onsite as well. The community amenities include a clubhouse (with a library, game and craft rooms), a heated pool, on-site laundry if you need it, a lagoon park, and 4 miles of roads over which to ride your bike, or to take your golf cart on a trip to visit neighbors or attend the many social activities. Social gatherings include free coffee and donuts on Thursday mornings. Other recent social events include BBQ’s, Vegas Night, Bingo, Stake Shoot, Valentines Dance, New Years Eve Party, Penny Social, Christmas Party, Talent Show, and numerous offsite ventures to restaurants and tourist attractions. Affordable waterfront living is available now. Come out and take a look, you won’t be disappointed. This charming home in an active 55+ community, in beautiful Apollo Beach on Florida’s West Coast, is waiting.
