555 The Esplanade N

Gulf Horizons is a low-rise, 10-story condominium complex built in 1970 on Venice Island’s beachfront. The property is composed primarily of two-bedroom residences with open floorplans, high ceilings, tray ceilings, crown molding, built-in cabinetry, and stone or solid-surface counters; many units include walk-in closets, wet bars and window treatments. Units open to screened or glassed lanais and sliding glass doors that capture panoramic Gulf views; several listings note floor-to-ceiling rear windows and impact-rated sliders or hurricane windows installed in recent years. Common facilities center on coastal living: a heated Gulf-front pool with a paver deck, a clubhouse with a full kitchen, gas grills, storage closets, bike racks and direct private beach access across roughly 170–176 feet of beachfront. Building services and systems include an elevator with coded access, on-site maintenance, covered assigned parking (carports), irrigation, exterior lighting, and recent community updates such as repaved lots, new carports, roof replacement, exterior painting and pool refurbishment. Exterior features also include landscaped courtyards, outdoor showers, hurricane shutters, and easy street-level access to downtown Venice amenities, the Yacht Club, and the South Jetty. The association enforces smoking restrictions and maintains regular upkeep and financial management; unit turnovers are noted as relatively low.
