The lower level holds a guestsuite with a full bath and its own private entrance, giving visitors flexibility and privacy, plus aone-car garage with room for storage.

The expansive patio outside the upper-level bonus room, withviews out over Tampa Bay, is the natural spot for morning coffee or an evening with friends.Tierra Del Mar is a boutique townhome community that is expertly managed, with amplereserves, low fees, a new roof, well-kept grounds and an arrangement for owners to use the resortpool immediately next door. One of the most coveted aspects of the community is its waterfrontpositioning, with kayak storage and launching facilities that make exploring these remarkablewaterways that much more accessible.Tierra Verde is the gem of Pinellas County, reached by the Pinellas Bayway and surrounded byBoca Ciega Bay, Tampa Bay and the Gulf passes. The island has its own marinas and waterfrontdining, and the Gulf is a short run by boat through Pass-a-Grille Channel or Bunces Pass, withShell Key Preserve just across the channel. Across the Bayway, the island park has courts fortennis and pickleball. Pass-a-Grille and St. Pete Beach are a short drive west; downtown St.Petersburg's restaurants, shops and museums are about 20 minutes by way of the Bayway and I-275, which continues on to Tampa International Airport.Just south of Tierra Del Mar, the Bayway crosses into Fort De Soto Park, the largest park in thePinellas County system: 1,136 acres across five keys, with beaches that have been named thebest in America, a campground, fishing piers, a paddling trail, a dog beach, a Spanish-AmericanWar-era fort and ferries to Egmont Key and Shell Key. Because the road ends at the park, TierraVerde sees no through traffic, which is why this end of the island stays so quiet.
