2980 Haines Bayshore Rd

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex built in 1975, Caribay is composed primarily of two-story buildings that house 2-bedroom units arranged as garden-style condos and townhome configurations. Architecturally the community favors practical Florida vernacular: low-pitched roofs, screened lanais, sliding glass doors, and hurricane-grade glazing and shutters added on many units. Interiors commonly feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, open living/dining layouts, built-in cabinets, skylights or attic storage, solid-surface and stone counters, and master suites with walk-in closets; many units have been updated with modern kitchens and remodeled baths. Outdoors the site emphasizes water and recreation — private fishing docks and kayak launches on Tampa Bay, pond and golf-course frontage, screened balconies or glass-enclosed patios, a community pool (heated/chilled), sauna, tennis and pickleball courts, irrigation and well-kept landscaping. Parking varies by unit type and can include an attached or partial garage plus guest spaces; storage and private mailboxes are provided. HOA-managed services create largely maintenance-free ownership: building exterior upkeep, common-area maintenance, flood and building insurance, cable and utilities coverage, and recreational-facility management. The complex sits centrally in Clearwater with quick access to airports, major roads, shopping, restaurants, and Clearwater Beach, delivering a relaxed waterfront lifestyle with active outdoor and social amenities.
