Apollo Beach is a peaceful waterfront community located along Tampa Bay, offering a relaxed coastal vibe with quick access to US-41 and I-75. You are just a 5-minute drive from the dog-friendly Apollo Beach Nature Preserve, local beaches, and the popular Manatee Viewing Center and Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center (open November through April). A short walk brings you to Apollo Beach Park, and local grocery options like Publix and Winn-Dixie are just minutes away. Pool Details: The private saltwater pool is professionally maintained and heated to a comfortable 85 degrees year round for your enjoyment. Cold Plunge Setup: The outdoor cold plunge is a traditional-style tub meant to be manually filled with water and ice. Ice is not provided, but standard bags of ice can be easily grabbed at the nearby Publix or Winn-Dixie just minutes down the road to set up your contrast therapy sessions! The Breezeway Bathhouse: To ensure total clarity before booking, please note that the laundry facilities and the third full bathroom are located in a dedicated separate structure just across the outdoor breezeway. This layout is incredibly convenient for rinsing off after a swim or a day of fishing without tracking water through the main house. Waterfront Safety: The backyard features a seamless paver patio around the pool area and a grassy lawn that leads down to the water. The yard is fully fenced on the sides; however, there is no barrier fence running along the canal seawall or the dock. Please supervise children and pets closely at all times. All-Electric Home: This property operates entirely on electricity with no fuel-burning appliances. Because of this, carbon monoxide alarms are not required or installed. Grill Supplies: Guests are welcome to use the charcoal grill, but please note that charcoal is not provided. Watercraft: The jet ski occasionally shown in property photos is strictly for personal owner use and is not available for guest use.
