Description
BOATERS DREAM! Penthouse waterfront residence with a 55 ft boat slip included, located in the gated community of Laguna at Riviera Dunes. This is a rare opportunity to own a condominium with a privately assigned deep water slip in front of the building, set within a hurricane protected harbor. Slips may also be rented by a future owner to others. The included slip offers direct, no bridge access to Tampa Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico. Riviera Dunes Marina is one of the area’s most protected deep-water harbors, featuring a sheltered basin and floating docks designed for larger vessels. Boaters benefit from full-service marina amenities including shore power, water, fuel dock access, pump-out services, and on-site dining. The location provides a short and scenic run to Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, and open Gulf waters, making it well suited for both cruising and sportfishing. Lets talk about the penthouse!

The orientation captures sunrises, moonrises, and evening reflections across the harbor.
