One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Aldea Mar by the Sea is one of the best hidden gems on desirable Venice Island. This fully restored and updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa-style condo is filled with natural light, featuring vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and impact-rated windows and sliders for comfort and peace of mind. The updated kitchen and baths showcase white cabinetry and stone countertops and all new stainless appliance package, and a kitchen slider opens to a tranquil banyan-tree–shaded, park-like setting with easy access to the putting green, lush grounds, and the beautifully restored community pool and clubhouse. Set within a 13-acre Gulf-front community, Aldea Mar offers one of the quietest stretches of beach in Sarasota County—perfect for sunset strolls, with the option to walk south to the Venice Fishing Pier and Sharky’s or north to the Venice Jetty. Ideally located, you can bike to the charming shops, dining, and nightlife of downtown Venice. Additional features include an attached private carport with storage and washer/dryer, two outdoor living areas, pet-friendly policies (up to 30 lbs), shuffleboard, and a flexible rental policy of 30-day minimum up to four times per year—making this an exceptional primary residence, getaway, or income opportunity.
