1800 MARINER Drive 9 Welcome to Tarpon Cove, a highly desirable Gulf-front, maintenance-free community in beautiful Tarpon Springs, where this exceptional furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath first-floor condo offers the perfect blend of comfort, coastal charm, and effortless Florida living. Positioned high enough that it has never flooded despite its close proximity to the Gulf, this beautiful residence features wood flooring in the living room, an inside laundry area, a well-cared-for interior that reflects true pride of ownership, newer hurricane-impact windows, and newer A/C for added peace of mind. Relax and unwind with spectacular pond views, then step outside to discover the incredible lifestyle that makes this all-ages community so special, with private pools, tennis and pickleball courts, scenic private trails where you can enjoy unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico, watch unbelievable sunsets, and take in the beauty of the water any time of day while surrounded by local wildlife and serene spots to pause, rest, and savor the moment, plus charging stations conveniently located throughout the community for residents to use. Residents also enjoy complimentary access to multiple designated BBQ areas, a massive clubhouse available for private parties, and the option to rent a boat slip at the privately owned marina for easy Gulf access. From peaceful sunset strolls along the water to poolside afternoons in the Florida sunshine, every day feels like a getaway. Beyond the gates, Tarpon Springs offers year-round events, local and state parks, nearby favorites like Sunset Beach and Fred Howard Park, biking on the Pinellas Trail, kayaking or boating on Lake Tarpon, the Bayou, the Anclote River, or the Gulf of Mexico, plus the charm of downtown markets and the world-famous Sponge Docks. This is more than a condo, it is the furnished coastal retreat and lifestyle you have been dreaming of.
