Waterfront living in the heart of Clearwater Beach
Marina House, completed in 1970, stands as a testament to enduring coastal charm on Clearwater Beach. This 3-story condominium complex houses 54 units, offering residents a prime location on the southern tip of the island. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Clearwater Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway, Marina House provides a serene retreat with easy access to the vibrant beach community. The building's design, while simple, maximizes its waterfront setting, allowing residents to enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding maritime landscape.
Spacious waterfront residences with modern updates
Marina House offers a selection of two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominiums ranging from 1,007 to 1,181 square feet. These generously sized units are designed to capitalize on the building's waterfront location, with many featuring expansive views of Clearwater Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Interiors have been thoughtfully updated in many units, blending coastal aesthetics with modern conveniences. Kitchens often showcase stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and open shelving, creating a bright and airy cooking space. Bathrooms have been refreshed with new vanities, granite countertops, and updated tile work, with some guest bathrooms boasting large soaking tubs.
Living areas are characterized by their openness and abundance of natural light, with sliding glass doors leading to private balconies or patios where residents can enjoy the waterfront vistas. Many units feature durable and stylish flooring options such as imported Turkish tile or luxury vinyl planks throughout.
Master bedrooms in select units offer direct water views and include walk-in closets with custom California closet systems for optimal organization. Guest bedrooms are versatile, with some configured to include built-in desk areas, perfect for a home office setup.
For added convenience, most units include in-unit laundry facilities, a rarity in many coastal condominiums. Hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows provide peace of mind during storm seasons.
Prices for these waterfront residences range from $498,000 to $599,900, reflecting their desirable location and recent updates. Monthly HOA fees span from $900 to $1,300, covering a comprehensive list of services including cable TV, pool maintenance, building insurance, structural maintenance, grounds upkeep, sewer, trash removal, and water.
Resort-inspired amenities with a focus on outdoor living
Marina House offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the coastal lifestyle of its residents. The crown jewel of the community is its private beach access, providing a secluded stretch of sand for sunbathing and relaxation away from the more crowded public areas.
Water enthusiasts will appreciate the three heated swimming pools, each offering a different atmosphere for exercise or leisure. A hot tub provides a perfect spot for unwinding after a long day. For those who prefer land-based activities, the community boasts tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a shuffleboard court, encouraging friendly competition among neighbors.
Outdoor living is a focal point at Marina House, with multiple BBQ areas scattered throughout the grounds. A recently installed firepit creates a cozy gathering spot for evening socializing. Fishing enthusiasts can cast a line directly from the property, while kayak and paddleboard storage areas make it easy for residents to enjoy the surrounding waters.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, creating a lush, tropical environment that complements the coastal setting. Outdoor showers near the beach access point allow for easy clean-up after a day in the sand and surf.
For added convenience and security, the community provides assigned parking spaces for residents, with additional storage units available for extra belongings. The building is equipped with elevators, ensuring easy access to all floors for residents and guests alike.
While Marina House may not offer some of the more extravagant amenities found in newer developments, its thoughtful selection of facilities focuses on enhancing the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of its waterfront location, creating a laid-back yet active coastal lifestyle for its residents.
A tranquil enclave with easy access to Clearwater Beach attractions
Marina House enjoys a prime location on the southern tip of Clearwater Beach, offering a perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. This position allows residents to enjoy the quieter side of island living while remaining within easy reach of the area's most popular attractions.
Just a short stroll away, residents can find themselves immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of Clearwater Beach. The area is renowned for its pristine white sand beaches, which have consistently been ranked among the best in the nation. Pier 60 Park, a focal point of beach activity, is within walking distance. Here, visitors can enjoy daily sunset celebrations, street performers, and artisan crafts, creating a lively atmosphere as day turns to night.
For those seeking culinary experiences, the neighborhood offers a diverse array of dining options. The Columbia Restaurant Sand Key, a branch of Florida's oldest restaurant, serves authentic Spanish cuisine just a short drive away. Seafood enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Island Way Grill, known for its fresh catches and Asian-inspired twists on classic dishes. For a more upscale dining experience, Caretta on the Gulf at the Sandpearl Resort offers sophisticated New American cuisine in a luxurious beachfront setting.
Shopping opportunities abound in the vicinity. Pelican Walk Plaza, a stylish shopping center featuring boutiques for beachwear and casual dining options, is just a mile and a half away. For more extensive retail therapy, Clearwater Mall is about 8 miles away, while Countryside Mall is approximately 12 miles from Marina House, offering a mix of department stores, specialty shops, and popular brands.
Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Sand Key Park, an expansive white-sand beach park perfect for picnics, surfing, and outdoor activities. The park also features a dog beach, making it an ideal spot for pet owners.
The neighborhood surrounding Marina House strikes a balance between tourist attractions and residential calm. While the building itself offers a tranquil retreat, the energy and excitement of one of Florida's most popular beach destinations are always just steps away, providing residents with the best of both worlds.
Strategic location with easy access to regional destinations
While Clearwater Beach is primarily oriented towards car transportation, Marina House's location offers convenient access to various regional destinations. The condominium's position on the southern tip of the island provides relatively quick access to the mainland, making it easier for residents to explore the broader Tampa Bay area.
For air travel, residents have two convenient options. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is approximately 17 miles away, or about a 35-minute drive, offering a range of domestic flights. For more extensive flight options, Tampa International Airport is located about 22 miles from Marina House, typically reachable in around 40 minutes by car.
While public transportation options are limited on the island itself, the Clearwater Jolley Trolley provides a charming way to explore Clearwater Beach and nearby coastal communities. This trolley service runs along the beach and connects to downtown Clearwater, offering a scenic and relaxed alternative to driving for local trips.
For those looking to explore the waters surrounding Clearwater Beach, the Clearwater Ferry service provides a delightful option. The ferry connects the beach to downtown Clearwater and other nearby destinations, offering a unique perspective of the area and a break from road traffic.
Residents who prefer to drive will find that major routes such as State Route 60 and Gulf Boulevard provide straightforward access to neighboring communities and attractions. These roads connect easily to larger highways like US-19 and I-275, facilitating travel to St. Petersburg, Tampa, and other parts of the Tampa Bay area.
While Clearwater Beach itself is relatively compact and parts of it are walkable, the area immediately surrounding Marina House is more suited to car or bicycle transportation for day-to-day activities. The building's provision of assigned parking spaces for residents ensures that car owners have a secure and convenient place to keep their vehicles.
