The spacious lot is located on Sunlit Cove and is part of the Riviera Bay neighborhood. Sunlit Cove is a natural 700 foot diameter cove that is home to manatees, snook, exotic birds, and is also visited by dolphin. It is wider than any canal in all of Riveria Bay. (All of the wildlife photos that you see here were taken by the owners in the backyard of this property). From your own dock, enjoy fishing, paddleboarding, canoeing and swimming. And for you boaters, there is a 9,000 pound boat lift. From your backyard, by boat, it is a scenic half hour ride to Tampa Bay.

The location of this property is ideal. You will be 15 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg which is full of amazing restaurants and shops, not to mention the new Pier. Also, you will only be 15 minutes from Tampa International Airport and only 22 minutes to beautiful St. Pete Beach.

Riviera Bay has a new park that is a 15 minute walk (1 mile) away. There are walking trails, outdoor exercise equipment, tennis and basketball courts, playground and pavilions for parties.

The neighborhood has many community events. Most well known is the annual Christmas Eve boat parade. You can sit on your dock and watch it because it comes right through the cove every year.
