About this property

1BR Venice home with private beach access - Golden Beach Haven

Professionally managed by Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, Golden Beach Haven offers the perfect blend of comfort, location, and coastal charm in the exclusive Golden Beach neighborhood of Venice Island. Private beach access, walkability to downtown, and pet-friendly accommodations make this home an exceptional Gulf Coast getaway.

Just a short half-mile walk or bike ride brings you to deeded beach access reserved for residents and guests, where you'll enjoy fewer crowds, peaceful shoreline views, and unforgettable Gulf sunsets. Venice is known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, so beach walks often turn into treasure hunts. Historic Downtown Venice is less than a mile away, offering boutique shopping, waterfront dining, parks, and beautiful Italian Renaissance-style architecture. Brohard Paw Park, one of the only dog-friendly beaches in the Sarasota area, is just about a mile away, and both Venice Beach and Sharky's on the Pier are within easy biking distance.

Inside, this bright and welcoming seaside duplex comfortably sleeps four. The living room features high ceilings, classic terrazzo floors, comfortable seating, high-speed WiFi, and a large flat-screen TV with streaming capability. A queen sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping space for families or guests.

The oversized screened-in lanai is a guest favorite, the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or unwinding after a beach day while enjoying the private backyard breeze without the direct Florida sun.

The fully equipped kitchen makes dining in easy, whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before the beach or a relaxed dinner at home. The spacious bedroom offers a queen bed, ceiling fan, and its own TV for winding down at night. A washer and dryer are included, making weekly or extended stays effortless.

Golden Beach Haven is one of the few homes in Golden Beach available for weekly rentals, and is ideal for snowbirds or longer stays on Florida's Gulf Coast. Traveling with extended family or friends? The adjoining unit can also be reserved so everyone can vacation together while maintaining private space.

If you're searching for a Venice Island vacation rental with private beach access in a quiet, walkable location close to downtown, Golden Beach Haven delivers an exceptional coastal experience.

Greast place to stay

We loved this place. Very close to beaches and downtown Venice. It is a beautiful neighborhood great for taking walks. There is a private beach (Golden Beach) that is only for the neighborhood and it is very peaceful and quiet. Excellent location and cute, comfortable rental.

I love this place!

This rental is an adorable duplex right on Harbor Drive which is a very desirable location in Venice. It is comfortable, bright, and has everything we need. Floors are terrazzo which I love. There is a nice lanai to sit outside. Best of all there is a private neighborhood beach just for the neighborhood residents (Golden Beach) that is only 5 blocks away. The beach is very quiet and beautiful. House is also very close to Sharky's and all of the fun restaurants and shops on Venice Ave. love it!!!

Golden Beach Haven

This is our second year staying here and some of the same things from our first stay have not been addressed. Upon arrival the floor mats in the bathroom were disgusting. My wife immediately washed them as she did the year prior. There is no pull tab for the closet light in the bedroom closet (same as last year). Shelf paper in the kitchen drawers would be a good touch. The location is great and it works well for just my wife and I and our dog. The weather the first half of January was brutally bad (not your fault), so if we stay again we would be looking more like the last two weeks of January.

Feedback

Great location! Walking distance and easy access to downtown, the beach, dog beach, parks and Publix. Suggest leaving more bathroom soap and shampoo. We thought there was a Keurig. Instead it was a coffee machine that required special coffee pods. Cleanliness could have been much better. LR looked dirty. Refrigerator on the outside needed to be wiped down. Suggest leaving directions on TV usage. TV in bedroom did not work. Some spiders were visible. Overall it was good.

Mixed message

The house is absolutely beautiful - the porch is lovely and our dog loved the back yard. Glad we could bring him. The floors were filthy - the first day I walked barefoot and my feet were black!! An ironing board but no iron - It took several days to get the TV to work and we are not used to streaming....Bedroom TV never worked. Radio did not work. Bed not the most comfy and high to get out of. However, impressive that a duplex and we couldn't hear anything - it is certainly well supplied! BUT, we will not come back - much more expensive than where we used to stay on Longboat (damaged by the hurricanes)
