550 FLAMINGO DRIVE 202 Welcome to your coastal oasis. With 2, 270 square feet of Gulf-front living and sweeping 180-degree views of the water, this residence offers an exceptional blend of space, privacy, and beachfront lifestyle. This is one of the very few true 3-bedroom residences available directly on the beach in Venice, and it represents the largest floor plan currently available in the building, with one of the best price-per-square-foot values on the Gulf. Opportunities like this at this size and price point are rare. The home features an expansive screened lanai / Florida room, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor living space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Positioned on the second floor, your view is of open Gulf water and rolling waves, not neighboring rooftops or mechanical equipment. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence or a second home, Island Shores is a residence-only community, offering a quieter, more respectful environment without the disruption of short-term or transient rentals. The clubhouse and amenities are currently undergoing a full renovation, and will include a kitchen, fitness room, showers, community gathering areas, and private guest suite available for owners’ guest use. For those who enjoy an active coastal lifestyle, Hecksher Park is just a mile away for pickleball and shuffleboard, while South Brohard Dog Beach, the Venice Fishing Pier, and historic downtown Venice are all just minutes from the property. For buyers seeking substantial square footage, privacy, and true Gulf-front living in Venice, this is a standout opportunity.
