1800 MARINER DRIVE 9 Welcome to Tarpon Cove, a very desirable Gulf-front and maintenance free community in beautiful Tarpon Springs! This exceptional 2-bedroom, 2-bath first-floor condo offers the perfect blend of comfort, elevation, and coastal charm, positioned high enough and has never flooded despite its close proximity to the Gulf. Inside, you’ll find beautiful wood flooring in the living room, an inside laundry area for added convenience, a well-cared-for interior with true pride of ownership, newer hurricane-impact windows, and newer A/C for added peace of mind. Relax and unwind with spectacular pond views or take advantage of the resort-style amenities this all-ages community is known for, including private pools, tennis and pickleball courts, scenic walking trails, and the option to rent a boat slip at the privately owned marina for easy Gulf access. Enjoy peaceful sunset strolls along the Gulf-front paths, soak in the Florida sunshine poolside, and embrace the active coastal lifestyle just outside your door. Beyond the community, Tarpon Springs offers an incredible way of life with year-round events, local and state parks, nearby beaches like Sunset Beach and Fred Howard Park, biking on the Pinellas Trail, kayaking or boat on Lake Tarpon, the Bayou, the Anclote River or the Gulf of Mexico, and the charm of downtown markets and the world-famous Sponge Docks. This is more than a condo, it’s the lifestyle you’ve been waiting for!
