Villa Ocala is Venice, Florida’s premiere adult leisure destination, offering a luxurious Mediterranean-style private pool home with five-star amenities for discerning travelers. Guests enjoy 3 bedrooms to full baths, a heated saltwater pool and spa, chef’s kitchen, and resort-style entertainment just minutes from Gulf beaches and downtown Venice.

The master suite at Villa Ocala is designed as a private spa-like retreat featuring a high-end California king bed, luxury linens, and direct views toward the pool.  Its en-suite bathroom includes a two-person therapeutic Jacuzzi/whirlpool tub, double vanity, upscale tile and stone finishes, a walk in closet and a spacious layout. 

Villa Ocala offers 1,350 sq ft of bug‑free, screen in outdoor living, dining and relaxing where a heated saltwater pool and spa are framed by lush tropical landscaping and complete privacy. A western view towards the Gulf sets the stage for nightly “creamsicle” Gulf sunsets.

Villa Ocala showcases a heated saltwater pool and therapeutic Jacuzzi that are professionally serviced every week, delivering crystal‑clear water and a relaxing spa‑style escape.  Wrapped in lush tropical landscaping for complete privacy and enhanced by elegant night lighting, the pool area becomes a secluded resort oasis, ideal for moonlit swims and cocktails under the stars.

Villa Ocala features a Guardian QR+ whole‑house air purification system integrated with the HVAC to reduce allergens, bacteria, and airborne viruses in every room. A state‑of‑the‑art whole‑house reverse osmosis system also purifies the deep‑well water, so every tap, shower, and ice maker delivers water as clean as premium bottled spring water.  Clean air, clean water, it matters.

Historic downtown Venice is a walkable “old Florida” main street district with Mediterranean Revival architecture, palm‑lined avenues, and a charming small‑town vibe just minutes from the beach.​

It offers 100+ locally owned boutiques, galleries, and specialty shops, plus a year‑round Saturday farmers market featuring fresh produce, artisan foods, and handcrafted goods, along with restaurants from Italian and fresh seafood to cafés, bakeries, ice cream, and cocktail bars, many with sidewalk seating. Venice Theatre and frequent concerts, festivals, and art walks organized by Venice MainStreet keep live music and events on the calendar most nights of the week.

Just 100 feet from our back gate, The Venetian Waterway Park Trail is a paved path along both sides of the Intracoastal Waterway, offering miles of recreation for walking, biking, and running with peaceful, big sky views and abundant wildlife. South to Shamrock Park, or North to Venice it offers endless opportunities for long scenic outings and spectacular “creamsicle” Gulf sunsets.

Venice has 18 golf courses (about 15 public/semi‑private and 3 private), with roughly 50 additional courses within 20 miles, so players of all levels have plenty of options close by. Along the Gulf coast from Tampa through Sarasota, Venice, and down toward Fort Myers there are well over 100 public, semi‑private, and private courses, including about 40 courses in the greater Fort Myers area alone.

Venice gives tennis players two great neighborhood options: Shamrock Park near the Intracoastal and Hecksher Park right by historic downtown. Shamrock Park has 4 free outdoor hard courts in a nature preserve with water, restrooms, and direct access to the Venetian Waterway/Legacy Trail, perfect for casual doubles before or after a walk or bike ride. Hecksher Park, just off West Venice Avenue, adds more tennis plus new pickleball courts, basketball, shuffleboard, and a playground only a few blocks from shops and restaurants, so you can play, then stroll into downtown for coffee, lunch, or happy hour.
