5980 SHORE BLVD S #205 Gulfport, FL 33707

Welcome to The Diplomat, one of the premier buildings bordering beautiful Boca Ciega Bay at Town Shores of Gulfport. From the moment you step into this light, bright and elegant unit, you will be awed by the sparkling, panoramic water views of the bay and impressed by the spacious, open layout that feels even roomier than its 1,450 square feet.

A split floor plan offers comfort and privacy with the master bedroom, updated ensuite bath and large, walk-in closet in the back of the unit … and guest room, bath and roomy walk-in closet diagonally opposite in the front of the unit. The unit is furnished with brand new coastal living room furniture, and solid quality dining and bedroom sets with a tropical flair. The master suite features a queen size Leggett & Platt® adjustable bed with built-in massager. All you need to do is take off your flip-flops, and move right in – furniture, décor and appliances convey with the sale. And you can bring along your furry feline friend … the Diplomat is cat-friendly!

Enjoy your morning cup of coffee watching a pod of dolphins swimming and playing by your seawall, and savor sunsets that paint the evening sky with a rainbow of colors over the picturesque Don CeSar and all the way up the gulf beaches! The updated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, mosaic tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances (brand new LG gas range and Samsung dishwasher 2021) and offers plenty of room for cooking and entertaining with its breakfast bar and extra storage. Modern pendant lights over the breakfast bar, track and recessed lighting above the cabinets illuminate the space and complete the look.
