Waterfront St. Pete Retreat with Pool and Dock

Morning light glides across Bayou Grande, and this charming Tuscan inspired ranch greets it with a quiet sense of ease. Water frames nearly every moment here: ripples beyond the lanai, palms reflected in the pool, and a gentle waterfall that adds a soft soundtrack to the day. From the pool deck, the horizon stays in view from sunrise through the last warm color of evening, creating a setting that feels both unhurried and bright.

Inside, the home is welcoming and simple to settle into, with two spacious family rooms that make it easy to spread out, reconnect, or find a calm corner with a book. The kitchen sits at the center of everyday living, supported by a full laundry area for effortless longer stays. Three separate sleeping rooms provide comfortable privacy, while the layout keeps the mood relaxed and uncluttered. A garage entry includes an accessibility ramp, and the arrival experience is memorable: the front door opens to an immediate view of the pool and the water beyond.

Beyond the main living areas, outdoor life becomes the natural rhythm. The pool invites quick dips between sun and shade, and the waterfront encourages slower rituals like coffee by the bayou or an evening swim as the sky fades. Bicycles make the short ride into downtown St. Petersburg feel easy, while nearby Weedon Island Preserve adds a wilder counterpoint with mangrove trails and paddling routes through Tampa Bay’s quiet inlets. With kayaks and a canoe available, days can shift from stillness to adventure in minutes, then return to the gentle sparkle of water at home. It is a place where Florida light sets the pace, and everything feels a little more open.
