What makes Cardel different here
Cardel took the coastal-village brief most literally. Most plans come in a front-garage and a rear-garage version, so you can choose between a deeper back yard and a porch-forward street face. Garage suites, a separate apartment over the garage with its own entrance, are offered on many plans and are the reason Cardel's Bali showcase home became the community's ADU example. The community is served by TECO natural gas, and Cardel markets itself as a natural-gas builder.
Process, timing and money
Cardel's own FAQ says a build takes 9 to 14 months from a fully signed contract, that buyers typically spend 10% to 20% of base price in the design center, that a $5,000 lot deposit plus a pre-approval reserves a homesite, and that no structural changes are accepted after contract. In September 2026 Cardel advertised up to $20,000 toward design options and listed two Coral quick move-ins on Merritt Avenue at $723,781 and $739,481, both completing that month. Cardel's Palma won Best Kitchen in its category at the 2026 Suncoast Parade of Homes.
