2 BR Home With Private Beach Access To Golden Beach - Luna Sea

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.

Inside, this bright and comfortable duplex accommodates up to six guests with two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a queen sleeper sofa. High ceilings and cool terrazzo tile floors create an airy coastal feel throughout the main living area. The living room provides ample seating, a large flat-screen TV with streaming capability, and high-speed WiFi for entertainment or remote work.

The open eat-in kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick beach-day breakfasts to family dinners, with a dining table that seats six. Both bedrooms feature queen-size beds, ceiling fans, bedside reading lamps, and in-room TVs for winding down at night. The larger bedroom also includes a queen pullout sofa and a dedicated workspace with a desk, making it ideal for extended stays or remote work. A full bathroom with shower/tub combination, an additional half bath, and an in-home washer and dryer provide added convenience.

Luna Sea is the left side of the duplex and can be reserved together with Golden Beach Haven, the adjoining unit, making it perfect for multi-family vacations or larger gatherings who want to stay close while enjoying private living spaces.

One of the standout features of Luna Sea is its flexibility. It is one of the few Golden Beach homes available for weekly rentals, with stays as short as seven nights, and make it an excellent winter retreat on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Spend your days golfing at one of Venice's nearby courses, relaxing on the beach, or exploring town, then walk just minutes to the shoreline for unforgettable Gulf sunsets. With its private beach access, walkable location, and pet-friendly accommodations, Luna Sea offers the ideal Venice Island vacation rental experience.

Reserve your stay and discover why Golden Beach is one of Venice Island's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Mold

Cat or dog hair everywhere. Nasty and smelly rugs. Mold smell in add on back bedroom. Said 2 baths but really the second bathroom was only a toilet in an old laundry room without a sink or shower. The smell continued and the company wouldn’t return my money or move me elsewhere

Overall, nice place to stay. Has most things one would need except a dishwasher. Very convenient to downtown Venice, beaches, grocery store. Only complaint is that the Bathroom sink did not drain properly. I alerted management but unfortunately it did not get fixed during our stay.

Untrustworthy property management

WE NEVER FELT SAFE OUR ENTIRE TRIP WHILE STAYING HERE! Upon arrival to the property there were guests still in the property that said they had reservations that overlapped our reservation by three days!!! They had the same door code as us and were not concerned about the double booking, which seemed strange. It took us 24 hours to get in touch with the property manager, and that wasn’t until we contacted VRBO directly. Magically, VRBO was able to contact the property manager immediately. They had no evidence of a double booking, they sent a representative to the home, who looked through the windows of the home and deemed it was empty and clean. Then, an hour later it was discovered that the property’s actual owner let some of their relatives stay at the property without communicating to property management. I asked for a refund of my night that I was not able to be in my VRBO, changing of the door code, and cleaning of the property. I only received the cleaning (which was subpar). The door code was never changed!!! And I was told I would get 100 dollars credited to me, but this was never given to me either. There was black mold in the bathroom and around the air vents. The linens had holes in them. They expected guests to start the linens in the washing machine upon leaving but did not provide laundry detergent. The blankets had stains on them. I continued to call the property manager about these issues throughout our stay and never received a return call.

Location is everything

I really enjoyed the location of this property, despite my initial disappointment about the property itself. Amenities are bare bones and dated. There's a posting on the wall that refers you to a binder of information and cable channels. There is no such binder and no cable. Daily walks to and on the beach were priceless.
