(Español a continuación) Waterfront living in one of Manatee County's most active 55+ communities. Lot rent is $1,320 per month and covers water, sewer, trash, lawn care, and full access to every Colony Cove amenity. Electric, insurance, and cable/internet are the only extras. This 1973 double wide sits on a pond-view lot with a full-length metal carport, a rear shed workshop wired for electric, and concrete block skirting screened to keep critters out from underneath. Covered parking runs the full length of the home. The rubber roof was recoated in 2024. A covered sitting area faces the water, the kind of spot where morning coffee turns into a two-hour conversation. Inside, the updated kitchen anchors the home. Rebuilt around 2021, the cabinetry and appliances are decades newer than the home itself. Quartz counters, a stainless appliance package, and a flat-top range with hood set into a generous center island with bar seating. The open plan flows from kitchen to dining area, complete with a built-in buffet and updated lighting, then straight into the living room with shiplap accent walls. Laminate flooring runs throughout. Three bedrooms and three full baths give you room most homes this size cannot. The primary suite offers laminate flooring, a ceiling fan, and an en suite bath with shower and closet. The guest bath features a glass-door shower and updated lighting. A third room behind a sliding barn door works as an office, guest room, or both, and it has its own full bath with shower plus a storage closet. A bonus room addition on the pond side adds flexible living space over a concrete floor finished in laminate, with water views to enjoy year round. Use it as a sunroom, a hobby room, or the corner office everybody wants. A separate laundry building houses the washer, dryer, and water heater with room to spare for storage. Boaters, pay attention. The community marina rents slips in the $120 to $150 range, and the water leads out to the Manatee River and on to the Gulf. Residents enjoy five clubhouses, six heated pools, two fitness centers, pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard, billiards, a woodworking shop, a library and game room, banquet space, fishing docks, and two dog parks including Picnic Island.
