719 Islebay Dr, Apollo Beach, FL, 33572

719 Islebay Drive is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 3,097 sq ft Nohl Crest–built Hemingway floorplan on an end-of-canal waterfront lot in the gated community of MiraBay. This single-story pool home sits on one of the closest canals to Tampa Bay, giving you a straight 5-minute route with no bridges, lifts, or locks. The home is fully powered by an owned solar system that produces monthly credits, keeping electric costs close to zero. The kitchen includes a Thermador stove, newer appliances, quartz counters, a ceiling-height porcelain backsplash, enhanced cabinetry, an extra-long island with storage, under-cabinet lighting, and a second butler-style pantry. The kitchen also features a dedicated return-air system, which is one of the smartest upgrades for a serious cooking space. High-CFM range hoods pull a large amount of air out of the home. Without a return path, the house becomes negatively pressured, which can lead to comfort problems, higher energy use, poor air quality, and even back-drafting from gas appliances. This return-air system keeps the kitchen balanced and safe, helps the hood work the way it should, protects the HVAC system, and improves overall comfort and ventilation while cooking. The home has new porcelain tile throughout and new carpet in the guest rooms. There are remodeled bathrooms, custom built-in closets, tall ceilings, a dedicated office, and an extra flex room that can be used as a second office, lounge, sitting room, or formal dining room. The split bedroom layout allows for a true mother-in-law setup with a separate entrance. The primary suite includes a large walk-in shower, dual vanities, custom closets, and an extra flex space overlooking the canal. Mechanical updates include two newer AC units with infrared air purification, a tankless water heater, water softener and RO system, a smart irrigation controller, and a newer garage door mechanism. Interior and exterior paint and two remodeled bathrooms were completed in recent years. Outdoor updates include a new lanai (2025), pool resurfacing (2025), new pavers (2025), WiFi-enabled pool equipment, solar-thermal pool heating with electric backup, a full perimeter misting system, upgraded patio fans, infrared patio heaters, and a dedicated patio misting fan. The screened outdoor area has space for a future outdoor kitchen. The private dock has power and water, a jet ski lift, and a 10,000-lb boat lift installed in 2022. The home is on a quiet cul-de-sac street near a large common area and is close to all MiraBay amenities, including the 24-hour gym, resort-style pools, tennis, pickleball, basketball, sauna, café, lounge, walking trails, and the fully golf-cart-friendly lifestyle the neighborhood is known for.
