About this home
Cortez on the Water
Introducing 80 Cortez Avenue, a newly completed luxury waterfront residence in the heart of Davis Shores. Built in 2025, this exceptional three-story home offers a rare combination of modern design, deep-water boating access, and walkable island living. A private elevator services all levels, leading to a spectacular rooftop terrace with panoramic Intracoastal Waterway views, stunning sunsets, and the historic skyline of St. Augustine. Included is a coveted 60' x 15' deep-water boat slip with power and water, accommodating larger vessels and providing effortless access to the Intracoastal and Atlantic Ocean. Ideally located, enjoy walking or biking to historic downtown St. Augustine, the beaches, St. Augustine Amp, restaurants, and marinas. New construction, luxury finishes, rooftop living, and premier boating access combine to create one of the most compelling waterfront opportunities on Anastasia Island.

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be.
Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone AE — high-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area)
Lenders require flood insurance for financed purchases here.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: Membrane — year not disclosed (home built 2025)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Public water (record)
Municipal drinking water per the county inventory.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,619 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.
