Welcome to the 55+ waterfront gated community of Bay Island! You will love living in this turnkey 2nd floor, updated 1 bedroom 1.5 bathroom unit in the Commodore building with beautiful views of Boca Ciega Bay from the moment you walk in. Enter the front door to your open kitchen with Peruvian granite counters, recessed lighting, under cabinet lighting, soft close cabinets and drawers, and an island perfect for entertaining. The kitchen flows naturally to the dining/living room where you can relax on the sofa and still converse with whoever is in the kitchen - all with views of the water. Open the hurricane rated sliding glass doors to get some fresh air or sit on the open balcony to watch the dolphins, manatees, and other sea life. It doesn't end there - wake up to more views of the bay from your master bedroom which features hurricane windows, an updated en-suite, and a walk-in closet. Do your laundry from the comfort of your own condo with the in-unit washer and dryer. Tile covers the floor in the kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathrooms. The AC and compressor were updated in 2017. There is a covered carport parking space close to the building. This unit is located near the stairs if you prefer stairs to an elevator to get added exercise. Bay Island is an active community with 6 heated pools, 3 hot tubs, tennis courts, shuffle board, ping pong, pool tables, a card room, a library, a separate female and male gym each with its own sauna, a marina, events for its residents, and more! There is a 1.5 mile boardwalk for daily exercise and fresh air right along the waterfront. There are benches to sit and rest during your walk to take in the views of the water or beautifully maintained lawns and gardens. Bay Island is close to the cute shops and restaurants on Corey Ave, St Pete's famous beaches, the quaint little town of Gulfport, and historic Pass-A-Grille. It's just a short drive to vibrant Downtown St Pete where you can visit the newly opened St Pete Pier. Palms of Pasadena Hospital is right around the corner. You will love Bay Island and all it has to offer!
