Welcome to Mariner’s Retreat, a rare Old Florida waterfront estate in Terra Ceia. Set on over an acre with more than 400 feet of water frontage along Tillette Bayou and Terra Ceia Bay, this three-story residence offers a lifestyle deeply rooted in the water—where fishing, boating, and natural beauty are a part of everyday life. From its shoreline, you’ll enjoy beautiful views that stretch to the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge, with direct boatable access to Terra Ceia Bay and open Gulf waters just minutes away.
Spanning over 3,600 square feet under air, the home was completely updated in 2018 including but not limited to impact windows and doors, kitchen and bathrooms, flooring, interior and exterior paint, light fixtures, and a 2023 HVAC system. A new roof installation is scheduled within the next two weeks, and mangrove trimming is also planned to further open the waterfront experience. While the property has endured some hurricane-related damage, the seller has obtained professional assessments.
Outdoors, a private dock anchors the estate’s connection to the water, offering endless opportunities for world-class fishing, dolphin sightings, and enjoying the rich sea life that defines this part of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
For those seeking additional land, two vacant parcels across the street may also be acquired, expanding the opportunity to nearly 10 acres of private retreat or family estate.
Mariner’s Retreat is more than a home—it is a sanctuary that captures the essence of Old Florida, blending timeless character with modern updates, all within easy reach of St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the I-275 corridor.
