About This Home

Welcome to 440 Darling Drive, a beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bath pool home perfectly positioned on Venice Island — just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Offering a seamless blend of coastal comfort and island charm, this home makes an exceptional beach retreat, winter getaway, or year-round residence. From the moment you arrive, the circular driveway and lush tropical landscaping create a warm, welcoming impression. Inside, enjoy dual living spaces that provide flexibility for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen and main living area open directly to the screened-in pool and patio, where you can unwind in privacy within the fenced backyard. The pool was resurfaced in 2020, offering a sparkling outdoor centerpiece for endless sunshine and relaxation. The primary suite is a tranquil escape featuring a large walk-in closet and a sitting area overlooking the pool, perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Both guest bedrooms are generously sized, with one offering a private en-suite bathroom — ideal for visitors seeking their own space. Beyond the home itself, the location is unbeatable. You’re just one mile from the iconic Venice Fishing Pier, home to two popular waterfront restaurants and ample beach parking for easy access to sun and surf. Only 1.5 miles away lies Lake Venice Golf Club, where you can enjoy a round of golf surrounded by ocean breezes — because golfing on an island truly is as good as it sounds. Living on Venice Island means you’re moments from historic downtown Venice, lined with boutique shops, local cafés, and fine dining. You’ll also find scenic walking and biking trails, charming parks, and cultural attractions like the Venice Theatre, all within easy reach. Best of all, this home is not in a flood zone, offering peace of mind and everyday convenience. Whether you’re dreaming of a coastal cottage, a seasonal retreat, or your forever home, 440 Darling Drive captures the essence of island living at its finest — where every day feels like a vacation.
