Welcome to Luna Sea, professionally managed by Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals and ideally located in the exclusive Golden Beach neighborhood of Venice Island. Just four blocks from the Gulf of Mexico, this charming coastal retreat offers guests deeded private beach access to Golden Beach, one of the most peaceful and desirable stretches of shoreline in the area.

A short half-mile walk or bike ride brings you to the neighborhood's private beach entrance, reserved exclusively for residents and guests. Here you'll enjoy fewer crowds, open shoreline, and breathtaking Gulf sunsets. The access includes an outdoor shower, picnic tables, and a gazebo for shaded breaks between swims. Venice is known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, making every beach walk an opportunity to discover prehistoric treasures along the sand.

Luna Sea also places you within easy reach of Historic Downtown Venice, just eight blocks away. Stroll to local coffee shops, seafood restaurants, boutique shopping, and beautiful Italian Renaissance-style architecture. Venice Beach and the popular Sharky's on the Pier are within walking or biking distance, and Brohard Paw Park, one of the only dog-friendly beaches in the Sarasota area, is just about a mile away.

While the location makes exploring effortless, Luna Sea also offers a private backyard retreat when you're ready to unwind. The spacious, partially fenced yard features lush landscaping and a covered patio where you can enjoy morning coffee or evening sea breezes in complete relaxation. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the Gulf Coast lifestyle too.
