The development of a new boating community in Sarasota County is always good news for home buyers and the local real estate market. Porto Vista Venice generates a lot of excitement among anglers and boating enthusiasts whose idea of a dream home includes docking space with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway.

Porto Vista Venice has many selling points, but let’s start with the most significant, which is its prime location within Fisherman’s Wharf Marina near the Historic Downtown district. From this southern point of Roberts Bay, you can easily sail west and cross a jetty into the Gulf of Mexico, or you can continue sailing north along Casey Key all the way to the Sarasota Bay. Whenever you are not boating, you can walk or bike down the Tamiami Trail to Venice Avenue and continue west and be at the beach in less than 30 minutes.

Aside from its great location, Porto Vista is also distinguished by a modern interpretation of Mediterranean architecture. The mid-rise towers and the detached clubhouse evoke the look of homes in the Amalfi Coast. Each unit is adorned with extras such as natural wood cabinets, quartz countertops, crown molding, and covered lanais. All 40 units provide nice views of the water, and elevators take you from the garage to your front door.

Porto Vista amenities include a heated swimming pool with cabanas. The Dockside Waterfront Grill is part of the marina, and its seafood menu includes seared tuna, Maine lobster tails, clam chowder, salmon BLTs, and signature tropical drinks. As for shopping convenience, a commercial district is located right across the marina along the Tamiami Trail.

As of September 2024, prices at Porto Vista started at $750K for units with three bedrooms and two bathrooms built on floor plans measuring 1,802 square feet. Latest pricing at Porto Vista Venice will be found below if there is inventory.
