Description of Property
Own a piece of Golden Beach just two blocks from private deeded beach access — all outside the flood zone. Welcome to 817 Harbor Drive S, where Old Florida charm meets thoughtful mid-century modern updates in one of Venice Island’s most coveted neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking for a beach getaway, a vacation rental opportunity, or a prime homesite in Golden Beach, this property offers flexibility, character, and location all in one. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the warmth — restored original terrazzo floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams, and natural light pouring in through the sunroom create a relaxed coastal atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting. The open living space flows effortlessly, offering room to gather, unwind, or host guests after a day at the beach. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, and clean finishes that blend seamlessly with the home’s mid-century personality. New interior doors and baseboards elevate the overall feel, while a brand-new roof (2026) adds peace of mind. The primary bedroom offers private patio access — perfect for quiet mornings with coffee under the oak trees. A second bedroom provides flexibility for guests or family. The glass-enclosed sunroom adds additional living space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, or overflow guest area. Outside, the oversized fenced backyard is a rare find on the Island — complete with a large patio for entertaining, mature landscaping for privacy, and two storage options for beach gear and bikes. The carport provides shaded parking and convenient access. Golden Beach residents enjoy private deeded beach access just a few blocks away — meaning peaceful Gulf sunsets without the crowds. Located on Venice Island, you’re also just minutes to Sharky’s Pier, the public beach, boutique shopping, dining, and the charm of Historic Downtown Venice. Whether you preserve and enjoy this classic coastal cottage, generate vacation rental income, or build your custom dream home in one of the Island’s premier neighborhoods — the value here is undeniable. Venice Island living, private beach access, no flood zone, and Golden Beach prestige — this is the opportunity buyers wait for.
