Bungalow Bay Estates
Bungalow Bay Estates - Custom Coastal Living on Old Tampa Bay in Oldsmar
Bungalow Bay Estates is one of Oldsmar's most distinctive neighborhoods - a small enclave of just 14 custom-designed homes tucked onto a wooded peninsula off Shore Drive, right where Old Tampa Bay meets the Mobbly Bay shoreline. With a wooded path leading directly to a private beach on Tampa Bay, this community offers a level of waterfront access that most Oldsmar neighborhoods simply can't match.
Built in the Old Florida bungalow tradition, these homes were thoughtfully designed with craftsmanship and character in mind. This isn't a cookie-cutter subdivision - it's the kind of neighborhood you stumble upon and can't believe is still here.

➤ Adjacent to Mobbly Bay Park and its walking trails
