Bayway Isles is a residential island community of over 200 families. Consisting of two main Islands, Bayway extends southward from the Pinellas Bayway into the aqua color warm waters of Boca Ciega Bay. Most of the homes have a waterfront view across the water toward Eckerd College. These single-family homes are valued from the mid $500,000 price range into the multi million-dollar range.

This elegant community began in the late 1960s. Architectural design throughout the community is appealing and styles range from modern to Spanish and European. Extraordinarily lush landscaping combined with architecturally designed homes sets Bayway Isles apart as a truly unique island community.

The residents of Bayway Isles enjoy a quiet island lifestyle and agree that their community has been a well-kept secret for many years. Homeowners range from small families to retirees. The neighborhood is located adjacent to famous St. Pete Beach and close to public schools, Eckerd College, grocery and boutique shops, hospitals, banks and restaurants.

Deed restrictions and architectural guidelines enhance property values in Bayway Isles. For instance, no signs are permitted including for sale real estate signs thus maintaining the neat appearance of the island for residents and guests alike. One of the most rewarding and appreciated features is the 24-hour entry protection, allowing Bayway residents the freedom to walk, bike, or roller blade at their leisure at any hour and to especially enjoy evening walks outside. Other nearby amenities include golf courses, yacht clubs, fabulous fishing, Ft. DeSoto Park, and the white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

Fort DeSoto Park

True to a beach that has been ranked number one in the continental United States, Fort DeSoto Park offers 900 unspoiled acres and seven miles of beaches. A unique area made up of five islands, the park features a fort built during the Spanish-American War on the largest of the islands, Mullet Key. Two fishing piers, camping areas, a concession stand, bathroom facilities and covered picnic shelters are available. Fort DeSoto Park also offers a popular biking and skating trail as well as rental facilities for canoes, kayaks and bicycles.

St Petersburg

Strategically located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, St. Petersburg, the states fourth largest city, is also the gateway to Florida’s High Tech Corridor and the hub of one of the most progressive regions for business in the United States. St. Petersburg, roughly 58 square miles and surrounded by sparkling blue water on three sides, boasts 234 miles of exquisite shoreline. With an average temperature of 73.7 degrees and 361 days of sunshine a year, it is easy to see why St. Petersburg is the “Sunshine City”.
