Caya Costa Waterfront Home in St. Petersburg — Located in the guard-gated waterfront community of Caya Costa, this executive residence offers 4,384 square feet of living space on a .34-acre lot with 199 feet of protected waterfront and wide open-water views along Weedon Island Preserve. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home provides a rare combination of boating access, privacy, and a flexible floor plan in a quiet cul-de-sac setting.

The home includes four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a private office, media room, gym, and a three-car garage with an extra-wide driveway. Interior features include 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, a two-story foyer, wood-burning fireplace, engineered wood flooring (2024), and a wet bar with wine refrigerator. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, dual islands, abundant storage, and a butler’s pantry with prep kitchen.

The waterfront primary suite includes a sitting area with open-water views and direct access to a private balcony. The ensuite bath offers dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a separate water closet. Additional interior features include an elevator and attic storage, providing both convenience and functionality.

Outdoor living is centered around the waterfront setting. A large balcony accessed from the primary suite and media room overlooks the pool and backyard, while the covered lanai includes an outdoor kitchen, dining area, and lounge space. The PebbleTec saltwater pool and spa (2021) feature updated pavers and equipment, along with a propane heater. Mature landscaping creates a private backyard with no rear neighbors and unobstructed water views.

This Caya Costa waterfront home in St Petersburg includes access to a shared deep-water dock with six slips. The assigned slip features a 16,000 lb lift (2018), water, and 30-amp shore power, with direct access to Tampa Bay in under 10 minutes and no fixed bridges.

Recent improvements include three AC units (2024–2025), tile roof (2017), flat roof replacement (2026), balcony decking (2026), and additional exterior enhancements. The property sits at 10.55 ft elevation and was not affected by the 2024 storms. Caya Costa offers guard-gated security with a $400/month HOA and convenient access to shopping, schools, downtown St. Petersburg, and Tampa International Airport.
