There are condos on Venice Beach. And then there is this one. Unit 301 at Venice Sands is a rare, true end unit offering something that simply cannot be replicated: a wraparound balcony with sweeping 180-degree Gulf of America views, direct beach access, and some of the most spectacular sunsets on Florida's Gulf Coast. If you have been searching for a beachfront home where every single day ends in a private front-row seat to nature's most extraordinary show, your search ends here. From the moment you step inside, it is clear this home has been thoughtfully updated with a modern, coastal aesthetic. New flooring flows throughout the entire unit, perfectly complementing the light-filled, open feel of the space. Crown molding adds a refined finishing touch throughout. The living room is oriented to capture the Gulf in a full panoramic scene, with oversized sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Step through and you are on the wraparound balcony, where the Gulf stretches as far as the eye can see in every direction. This is where mornings start, evenings end, and time simply slows down. The dining room is equally remarkable. Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows and slider access to a second private balcony, it captures layered views of the coastline, the Intracoastal, and the lush tropical landscape below. Every meal here comes with a view most people only experience on vacation. The primary bedroom suite is a true retreat. Bathed in natural light with direct Gulf views and its own window on the sea, it features a generous walk-in closet and a serene, well-appointed bath. The split floor plan ensures complete privacy for guests, with the second bedroom and bath tucked away on the opposite side of the unit. Venice Sands offers the full resort lifestyle: a beachfront pool, direct deeded beach access, and the ease of secure garage parking, a rare and valuable amenity at this address. The location places you steps from the sand and just minutes from charming downtown Venice, with its renowned dining, boutique shopping, the Venice Theatre, and the famous Venice Fishing Pier. End units of this caliber in a direct beachfront building on Venice Beach are extraordinarily rare. The combination of wraparound views, modern finishes, garage parking, and an unbeatable location at 633 Alhambra Road makes this one of the most compelling Gulf-front opportunities available on the Suncoast today.
