902 Gibbs Rd

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1970 offering two-story buildings of predominantly one-bedroom units. The community is organized around landscaped grounds with canals and direct deeded access to the nearby beaches, creating a waterfront island setting. Typical interiors are compact and updated over time, featuring open floor plans, solid wood cabinets, stone counters, built-in details, crown molding, ceiling fans, walk-in closets, and sliding glass doors that connect living areas and bedrooms to private balconies overlooking canals or shared green spaces. Exterior character includes gardened common areas, irrigation and lighting systems, rain gutters, sidewalks, storage closets near units, and assigned plus guest parking. Shared amenities emphasize outdoor living and socializing: a large heated saltwater swimming pool with expansive sundecks situated on the Gulf side, sundeck seating, and an underground clubhouse with kitchen, library and craft spaces. Practical services managed by the homeowners association include flood insurance and reserve funding, quarterly common-area maintenance, cable and pest control; onsite laundry facilities are located on the first floor, and some units are sold turnkey furnished. The association enforces a no-pet policy and short-term rental limits (generally one-month minimum, up to a set number of rentals per year), making the property commonly used for seasonal rentals, investor income, and vacation ownership. Proximity to the South and North Jetty, the Crow’s Nest restaurant, Venice Yacht Club and Historic Downtown Venice places the community within walking or short driving distance of dining, fishing, boating, and recreational beach activities.
