7920 Sun Island Dr S

Bay Island is a low-rise waterfront condominium complex in South Pasadena built in 1976 and arranged mostly as four-story residential buildings. The community is age-restricted (55+) and gated with 24-hour guard service; its campus-like layout places mid-rise blocks around landscaped grounds, a marina and a continuous mile-plus seawall promenade. Units are predominantly two-bedroom condos with open floorplans, eat-in kitchens or kitchen/family room combos, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters and features such as tray ceilings, walk-in closets and built-in storage. Many residences include private balconies or screened lanais oriented to water views, impact/hurricane shutters, in-unit laundry and designated covered parking with separate storage lockers. Shared facilities read like a small resort: six heated pools, multiple spas, his-and-her fitness rooms with saunas, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, tiki huts and barbecue areas, an expansive clubhouse with ballroom, library, card and craft rooms plus a social director who programs activities. The grounds include irrigation, lighting, sidewalks and pet-friendly areas; a marina offers boat slips for rent. On-site management, a full-time gatehouse and routine maintenance of common amenities support a retirement-oriented, activity-focused lifestyle close to St. Pete Beach, downtown St. Petersburg and regional transportation.
