There is excellent shopping & restaurants one mile away in Historic Downtown Venice. Famous Caspersen Beach is a few minutes' drive away.

The location is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood within a short drive to the historic downtown Venice, where you can find what you like: wonderful shops, art galleries, fine restaurants, theater, and other venues for your pleasure. Local talented musicians throw free performances next to Venice Beach all the time. You can also bring your lawn chair to Centennial Park, which offers many free concerts and annual entertainment. Venice is less than a half-hour drive from Sarasota. You can also ride a bicycle to Sarasota via the gorgeous Legacy Trail. The city of Venice is very bicycle-friendly with many marked bicycle paths.
Our building has 12 condominiums. About half of the occupants stay there year-round, while the other condominiums are usually occupied by "snowbirds" or families visiting Florida for a few months.
Fishing trips can be chartered through Captain Jack; information is available upon request.
Closest beach access is through Service Club Beach Park (0.2 miles). This wonderful park was completely restored. The renovation includes a beautiful boardwalk and many picnic shelters. Another beach in close proximity is Sharky's (0.5 miles) and Caspersen's (1 mile). These south beaches are county-owned, pristine beaches with no buildings or condos.. The Golf Club is 1 mile away. The canoe/kayak launch and the Legacy trail ( biking, rollerblading, walking) are 2 miles away. Main downtown Venice restaurants, attractions, and Centennial Park (outdoor farmers market, art shows) are 1.5 miles away.
The island community we are a part of has everything you need without leaving the island, and no need to drive if you choose not to. There is everything: beaches, boating, golfing, dining, pharmacy, food shopping (Publix), municipal post office, hospital, and blocks of small shops close by.
There is a small municipal airport in the vicinity. Our visitors commented on how much they loved watching the small planes take off while sitting on the lanai. But you can not hear the aircraft inside, which is nice. The airport grounds are commonly used for local festivals, like the famous Shark's Tooth Festival, Wine for the Cure festival, BBQ Bash, Italian Feast, Carnival, and many others.
