Marina Palms is a small, quiet community in Port Richey, in Pasco County, a few blocks from the mouth of the Cotee River and minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. It pairs attached townhomes with single-family homes and offers a community pool, a spa, and a clubhouse, with monthly dues that are modest for those amenities (Lipply Real Estate community guide, 2026).
The townhomes here typically run three bedrooms and two baths with attached garages and open floor plans, which has made the community a common entry point for first-time buyers and people looking to downsize. Single-family homes round out the mix. The Marina Palms name covers more than one home type, so the read is by the specific unit, its condition, and its parcel.
Location is the draw: there are two marinas nearby, the Cotee River is a few blocks away, and US 19 puts shopping, dining, and services within minutes. The Gulf is a short drive, which is part of the appeal and part of the risk, because the same coastal position carries flood and storm-surge exposure that has to be read parcel by parcel.
The pitch is coastal value with low carrying cost, but the work is diligence: verify the FEMA flood zone and the base flood elevation, read the 2024 storm-surge history for the area, and quote flood and wind insurance for the exact address before you commit. The money is made on elevation, condition, and an honest insurance read, not the headline price.
