5 Florida Waterfront Finds from Beach Townhomes to Boating Lots

Steps from the shoreline in Indian Rocks Beach, Curlew Landings Townhomes offers an easygoing waterfront lifestyle in a golf cart- and pet-friendly community. Residents enjoy a dedicated kayak launch, a pool for sunny afternoons, and a tennis court for casual matches close to home. Inside, this vaulted-ceiling unit is designed to take in the setting, with water views from both balconies—an everyday backdrop for morning coffee or a late-day breeze. Practical details are equally thoughtful: an oversized two-car garage provides generous storage, plus bonus space that can flex to suit your needs. With the beach just a short stroll away, days naturally flow between time on the water and time in the sand.

Along the pond in Lakeridge Falls, the largest single-family floor plan opens to a fabulous lanai and “secret garden” view that makes everyday living feel quietly resort-like. Inside, a 3-bedroom layout with a bonus den offers generous flexibility for entertaining, hobbies, or a dedicated workspace. New kitchen cabinets are already ordered and will be installed to create a more updated, contemporary feel, complemented by crown molding and under-cabinet lighting. A screened front porch adds another spot to settle in with morning coffee, while a UV filter on the AC unit is one of the thoughtful extras that set this home apart. Set within the 55+ gated, landscape-maintained community of Lakeridge Falls, residents enjoy a renovated clubhouse and pool, plus the ease of neighborhood walks and nearby everyday conveniences.

Along the water’s edge on the Manatee River, this rare boating homesite at The Islands offers a chance to build within a private, gated waterfront community. One of the few remaining riverfront lots, it is approved for a boat dock with lift and enjoys navigable access to the Manatee River, with passage onward to the Gulf of Mexico. Set within Rio Vista Estates, the homesite sits in Rive Isle at The Islands, a 225-acre collection of pristine private islands with estate-sized parcels up to 1.5 acres, positioned either directly on the river or along picturesque harbors. Residents also enjoy The River Lodge clubhouse—an exclusive riverfront gathering place designed for community moments and relaxed days by the water. With a lower 2,800 minimum square foot requirement, the setting invites a custom retreat shaped by Florida’s natural beauty.

Set just minutes from the Gulf beaches and downtown St. Petersburg, the location strikes a rare balance—quiet waterfront serenity when you want to exhale, and city access when you’re ready to step out. Days here naturally follow the horizon, with the bay setting the pace from morning light to evening calm.

Along the water’s edge at The Islands in Parrish, this Harbor lot is one of the few remaining opportunities to build with a true waterfront backdrop. The setting is defined by long water views—an everyday horizon that shifts with the light and weather, lending a calm, open feel from morning through dusk. Just as compelling, the lot is approved for a private boat dock, inviting an easy rhythm of time on the water, from spontaneous afternoon cruises to quiet sunrise departures. With its position within The Islands’ Harbor area, the focus stays on the essentials: a scarce waterfront homesite, an expansive outlook, and the freedom to connect directly to the water from your own dock—an enduring way to live close to Florida’s coastal waterscape.
