Venice Island's Shore Haven - Serene, Newly Remodeled 55+ Coastal Retreat

Welcome to Shore Haven, a serene and newly remodeled 55+ coastal retreat just ½-mile from Sharky’s on the Pier.

Offered exclusively as a seasonal home with a 3-month minimum stay during peak season, Shore Haven is designed for extended, relaxed coastal living. Beautifully upgraded this season with high-quality finishes, modern coastal style, and smart-home conveniences, this single-story 1,630 sq. ft. home provides a peaceful and refined setting for long-term stays on Venice Island.

The interior features a bright, open layout with tile flooring throughout, plantation shutters, soft coastal tones, and a calm, relaxing ambiance. The living room includes comfortable seating, a large smart TV with streaming services, and easy-flow access to the kitchen and dining area. A dedicated Wi-Fi and workspace near the main living space offers convenience for correspondence, planning, or casual work during longer stays. Shore Haven’s Control4 smart-home features include keyless entry, thermostat, lighting, and in-ceiling sound system, enhancing everyday comfort, while a HEPA air purifier supports excellent indoor air quality. While the home has a few single steps at the entry and patio sliders, the layout is otherwise simple and easy to move through. A convenient half bath near the living area offers additional flexibility for guests.

The remodeled kitchen is appointed with Cambria quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and luxury hardware, including a pot filler above the range. The kitchen peninsula features an additional convection-microwave oven and seating for two, complementing the main dining area. The fully equipped kitchen includes cookware, utensils, a full set of dishes and glassware, small appliances, and a dual-format coffee maker for full-pot or single-serve brewing.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical laundry and pantry area, separated by a pocket door and offering cabinet storage, under-cabinet lighting, and direct access from the garage. This streamlined space keeps essentials organized and supports long-term stays without drawing attention from the main living areas.

For convenience upon arrival, Shore Haven includes a thoughtful set of welcome essentials such as laundry items, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, light cleaning supplies, paper goods, bottled water, coffee, and hot tea.

The primary bedroom offers a king bed with soft coastal bedding, nightstands, and dual deep closets with ample space for hanging, shelving, and long-stay organization. The ensuite bathroom features a large walk-in shower with grab bars, a private toilet closet, granite finishes, a powered docking drawer and a hair dryer provided for guest use.

The guest bedroom includes a comfortable king bed with a seagrass headboard, matching nightstands, and a large reach-in closet with shelves and drawers. Its ensuite bathroom features an open layout and updated granite surfaces.

Step outdoors to a private backyard patio—a peaceful spot to start or end your day—surrounded by palms, shrubs, and greenery that create a relaxed environment. Comfortable outdoor seating and a backyard grill make this space ideal for quiet mornings, easy lunches, or unwinding after a day at the beach. A small storage shed holds bicycles provided for guest use, offering a pleasant, scenic way to explore Venice Island, nearby parks, or the beach. Beach chairs are also available, making it simple to enjoy Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The home includes a private 2-car garage equipped with dual 50-amp EV chargers, attractive flake epoxy flooring, and additional driveway parking. The garage provides convenient direct access into the laundry–pantry area for groceries or returning from the beach. Additional conveniences include twice-weekly trash and recycling collection and a whole-house central vacuum system that makes daily upkeep easy during long stays. For peace of mind, the home features hurricane-impact rated windows and doors, and exterior security cameras that monitor outdoor areas only.

Shore Haven’s location on Venice Island offers easy access to the area’s most well-loved destinations. A short walk brings you to Sharky’s, Fins, the Venice Fishing Pier, Service Club Beach and Maxine Barritt Park, which features a beautiful walking path along the water. Historic Downtown Venice, just 1.5 miles away, offers shops, cafés, restaurants, and the popular Saturday Farmers Market. Guests also enjoy Venice Avenue Creamery, a beloved local shop known for its fantastic house-made ice cream. Nokomis Beach, with its north jetty, is a wonderful place to watch for dolphins and enjoy boats entering and leaving the marina.

For recreation, Lake Venice Golf Club is minutes away, along with numerous public golf courses across the area. Heckscher Park, near downtown, offers pickleball, tennis, and shuffleboard—popular with seasonal guests. Venice Island also features multiple peaceful local parks and green spaces ideal for morning strolls, reading outdoors, or exploring by bicycle. Suncoast Café, located inside Venice Municipal Airport, is a local favorite for breakfast with a unique view. Shore Haven is also within an easy drive of Downtown Sarasota and world-famous Siesta Beach, known for its cool, powder-soft 99% quartz sand.

Thoughtfully remodeled and carefully prepared for long-term comfort, Shore Haven offers an elevated seasonal lifestyle with modern conveniences, peaceful outdoor living, and proximity to Venice Island’s best experiences. Whether you’re walking to the pier, exploring local parks by bicycle, enjoying evenings at nearby restaurants, or simply relaxing in the quiet, coastal atmosphere, this home provides a warm, welcoming retreat designed for restful, extended stays.
