Shark Teeth Retreat: Modern Coastal Bliss, Steps to Private Beach, Near Downtown

Shark Teeth Retreat: Modern Studio on Private Golden Beach

Escape to your own slice of paradise at the Shark Teeth Retreat. Perched on the second floor of a premier beachfront complex, our studio condo offers direct access to the secluded sands of private Golden Beach. Whether you’re here to hunt for prehistoric treasures or simply soak up the Gulf breeze, this newly renovated sanctuary is the perfect home base for your Venice vacation.

The Ultimate Beachfront Experience
Venice is the "Shark Tooth Capital of the World," and you are perfectly positioned to find your own. Use our provided professional sifting gear to hunt for everything from tiny fossils to the legendary 6-inch Megalodon teeth, especially after a high tide on our unique black-sand shoreline.

Modern Comforts & High-End Amenities
We’ve thoughtfully updated every inch of this studio to maximize space and luxury:

Chef’s Kitchen: Features quartz countertops, an induction cooktop, and a full-sized fridge with ice/water.

Spa-Inspired Bath: Refresh under dual showerheads in a custom shower with a teak bench.

Work & Play: A folding wall desk at the window provides a "view with a desk," while a 55" Smart TV, Alexa, and even a vintage Record/CD/Tape player handle the entertainment.

Fully Equipped: From a Keurig and personal blender to a color printer and high-speed Wi-Fi, we’ve thought of everything.

Explore Venice Like a Local
You are less than 2 miles from the best of Venice:

Dining: Walk to the iconic Sharky’s on the Pier for tropical drinks or enjoy upscale sushi and steaks with a view at Fins.

Nature & Fun: Catch a sunset at the Venice Pier (no fishing license required!), visit the nearby dog beach, or launch a kayak at Caspersen Beach.

Downtown Charm: Explore Venice Mainstreet’s boutiques, art festivals, and the weekly Farmer’s Market.

Venice getaway

We loved our place! The host provided so many nice touches and even things we didn’t know we needed but appreciated so much. She was quick to answer when we had a question. Proximity to the beautiful beach, a comfy well appointed place to stay, and large pool we had it all! We plan to return as soon as we are able.

had a very comfortable stay for 2 weeks in early February. Very thoughtfully appointed room, beautifully renovated, making excellent use of the space. Quiet and restful neighbourhood, only about 3 minute walk to the private beach with lawn chairs for our personal use. Only saw a few very tiny ants in the area around kitchen sink.
