Neighborhood highlights

Nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway by the Gulf Coast's Lemon Bay and just a few minutes south of Venice Island, this quiet suburban residential neighborhood of single-family homes sits “west of the trail,” meaning the neighborhood is west/Gulfside of Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail).

The entire neighborhood is a protected wildlife zone and visitors can expect to see a variety of birds around the neighborhood including Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Black Crowned Night Herons, Anhingas, Glossy Ibis, Common Gallinules, and Snowy Egrets. The nearby Venice Area Audubon Rookery is an especially nice place to visit at dusk, when a variety of large birds arrive to roost for the night. Bring your camera!

Walk or bike the Legacy Trail at Shamrock Park & Nature Center. Visit South Venice Lemon Bay Preserve. Visit the shops and restaurants on the charming Island of Venice, fish at the Venice Fishing Pier, or drop in for a seaside, open-air yoga class at Venice Beach or Manasota Key Beach.

Nearly every imaginable recreational opportunity is nearby this conveniently located home.

As much as I love my home state of Maine, after half a lifetime of freezing temps and snow (lots and lots of snow!), my wife and I decided to invest in a tropical getaway to call our own. The Coral Shell is it! We hope you will enjoy your stay at the Coral Shell as much as we enjoy owning the house.
