Welcome to the Beachcomber in Venice, one of the Gulf Coast's best kept secrets, and home to resort accommodations with an Old Florida style. Located on the Gulf of Mexico in Historic Venice, Florida, The Beachcomber is a time capsule from the past. Walk for miles on pristine beaches, just feet from your door. Comb for shark teeth and shells, view spectacular sunsets, and relax in the heated pool. Downtown Venice is a historic gem located just one mile from the Beachcomber, and is full of eclectic shops, five-star restaurants, and much more.
