The Gulf Beaches on Tampa Bay’s sunny and spectacular Gulf Coast are home to award-winning beaches, restaurants, shopping and entertainment … and some of the most sought after waterfront properties in the area.

Beach front properties, island communities and intercoastal views alike delight Gulf Beaches homeowners who work, live and play in this Topical Paradise.

Here are a few of the communities where Devonshire Custom Homes is making dreams come true for Gulf Beaches custom home owners:

Indian Shores

Approximately 2.65 miles of re-nourished sandy beaches, Indian Shores lies just south of Indian Rocks beach, and is a spirited small town community of about 1500 residents. With the addition of winter residents, the population grows to over 5000. The town hosts a variety of shops, restaurants, and accommodations including motels, condos, and time-shares.

The community is the proud host to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to the “rescue, repair, recuperation and potential release” of rehabilitated, sick and injured wild birds that are native to the Gulf coast of Pinellas county.

Redington Shores

Incorporated in 1955, Redington Shores is a 1.19-mile long gulf beach community. From the first glimmer of sunrise over the Boca Ciega Bay until it spectacular sunsets slipping into the Gulf of Mexico, Redington Shores delights visitors and residents enjoying its wide white sandy beaches, natural beauty, wildlife, fishing, boating, parks, and quiet soothing relaxation.

Home to many permanent residents this community offers the beauty of the beach, Intracoastal Waterway, some of the finest restaurants in the area, and the Redington Long Pier which extends more than 1,021 feet into the Gulf of Mexico, and is open 24 hours a day.

Located midway between Clearwater to the north and St. Pete Beach to the south, Redington Shores is just 45 minutes from the Tampa International Airport.

North Redington Beach

North Redington Beach is a quaint collection of local shops, restaurants, and an eclectic mixture of waterfront single family, multi-family residences, and private resorts fronting on both the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway.

Nestled on the pristine Gulf Beaches between the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay, North Redington Beach is a delightful place for permanent and seasonal homeowners.

Redington Beach

Redington Beach is a small beach town of approximately 1,700 people bordered by North Redington Beach to the north, Madeira Beach to the south, the Intracoastal Waterway on the east, and the Gulf of Mexico on the west.

As with all the Gulf Beaches it draws tourists, but the sandy shores of Redington Beach are primarily meant for those who call this town home. Here you will find Key West and Mediterranean style mansions, one-story Florida-style homes, beach cottages, and luxury condominiums and villas.

History

Redington Beach is named for Charles Redington, who built the first home here in 1935.

Newspaper accounts say that Mr. Redington looked at the waterfront property and envisioned another Miami Beach. He ultimately bought 1,700 feet of Gulf frontage that ultimately became the Town of North Redington Beach. As people moved into the stretch of beach, they congregated in three different neighborhoods that eventually took on their own identities, and were incorporated”. By the mid-1950s, the town lines were drawn as they are today.
