At a Glance
A 750-acre Key West–styled master-planned community in Apollo Beach built around a 135-acre saltwater lagoon with direct Tampa Bay access from select home sites.
Did You Know?
MiraBay's tropical clubhouse area was designed to feel like a Caribbean resort village — most residents arrive by golf cart, not car.
What Stands Out
A real bay-front lagoon (not a fake pond), heated infinity pool overlooking the water, kayak/SUP launch, and a private café — all included in HOA. Coastal architecture and tropical landscaping set it apart from every nearby neighborhood.
Fun Spots
- MiraBay Club — café, fitness, tennis, basketball, pickleball
- Saltwater lagoon kayak/SUP launch
- Lagoon-front heated infinity pool with cabanas
- Waterfront fishing pier and weekly food-truck nights
