Venetian Isles is an upscale waterfront deed-restricted community built on man-made islands connected by a series of bridges off the Shore Acres community. Venetian Isles is coveted for its beautifully manicured landscaping, water views, friendly community and close proximity to downtown St. Petersburg. This highly sought-after neighborhood is a favorite for boaters due to our deep-water canals designed for boats of any size. Venetian Isles was developed as a submerged water landfill project built at an elevation of approximately 5-7 feet above the natural shoreline. As a result of this elevation, Venetian Isles has been spared from flooding during the storms and hurricanes that have hit Tampa Bay over the past 50+ years. There is an active Homeowners Association that brings the community together through an emailed newsletter, homeowner directory, community yard sale, Oktoberfest block party, golf, fishing & baseball outings, and other neighborhood events.
