About this property

Venice Island 55+ Retreat Walk to Beach, Pier and Dining at Shore Haven

Welcome to Shore Haven, a serene and updated 55+ coastal retreat just ½ mile from the Gulf and Sharky’s on the Pier, ideal for relaxed, extended stays on Venice Island.

Shore Haven is offered as a seasonal rental with a 3-month minimum stay during peak season and a 1-month minimum stay during the off-season, making it a perfect home base for snowbirds and longer coastal getaways.

This single-story 1,630 sq. ft. home features a bright, open layout with tile flooring throughout, plantation shutters, and soft coastal tones that create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The living area offers comfortable seating, a large smart TV with streaming services, and an easy flow into the kitchen and dining space. A dedicated Wi-Fi workspace and smart-home features like keyless entry, climate control, lighting, and in-ceiling sound add everyday convenience.

The fully equipped kitchen includes quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, quality appliances, and seating for casual meals. A nearby laundry and pantry area with direct garage access keeps long-term living organized and simple.

Both bedrooms feature king beds and ensuite baths, offering comfort and privacy. The primary suite includes a walk-in shower with grab bars and generous closet space for longer stays.

Step outside to a private backyard patio surrounded by palms and greenery — perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a day at the beach. Outdoor seating, a propane grill, bicycles, and beach chairs are provided to enjoy the island lifestyle.

The home includes a private two-car garage with dual EV chargers, driveway parking and separate RV parking pad, hurricane-impact windows and doors, and exterior security cameras monitoring outdoor areas only.

Shore Haven’s walkable location places you close to Sharky’s, Fins, the Venice Fishing Pier, Service Club Beach, and Maxine Barritt Park. Historic Downtown Venice, just 1.5 miles away, offers shops, cafés, and the popular Saturday Farmers Market. Golf, pickleball, tennis, parks, Nokomis Beach, and Sarasota attractions are all nearby.

Thoughtfully remodeled and carefully prepared, Shore Haven offers a peaceful coastal retreat with comfort, convenience, and one of Venice Island’s most desirable locations.
