Meyers Cove is a small gated community of custom single-family homes along the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs, in northwest Pinellas County, reached off Anclote Boulevard near the historic Sponge Docks district (multiple Tarpon Springs real estate community guides, 2026). Listing guides describe it as a private gated enclave of roughly a couple dozen lots rather than a large subdivision, with a shared community dock on the river.
The homes are generally larger custom builds dating mostly from the 1990s into the 2000s, with listing guides citing floor plans roughly in the 2,500 to 3,000-plus square foot range across three to five bedroom layouts, often with multi-car garages, screened pools, and lanais. Many homes feature deeded boat slips with assigned lifts at the community dock and direct boating access toward the Gulf of Mexico via the Anclote River; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, slip rights, and water access for any specific home.
Because this is a small waterfront community, the money is made or lost on the lot and the water, not on a townwide average. The drivers are the specific lot and frontage, the deeded slip and lift rights, the HOA dues and what they cover, and the flood and surge picture, all of which have to be read from the listing, the association documents, and a flood-insurance quote for the exact address.
The pitch is a gated waterfront address with a dock at the door, minutes from the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, the Pinellas Trail, and Howard Park and Sunset Beach, with Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs schools, and US 19 close and Tampa International Airport a longer drive. The work is the diligence: read the HOA documents and slip rights, quote the flood and wind insurance, and check the flood zone, the elevation, and the surge history before you buy the water view.
