Porto Vista is a boutique waterfront condominium community in Venice, Florida, located beside Fisherman’s Wharf Marina along the Intracoastal Waterway in the 34285 ZIP code. With only 40 residences divided among four low-rise buildings, Porto Vista combines modern condominium living, panoramic marina and water views, private garage parking, a heated swimming pool, and convenient access to boating, historic Downtown Venice, restaurants, shopping, beaches, and the Legacy Trail.
Completed primarily around 2020 and 2021, Porto Vista was designed around its waterfront setting. Each building contains just 10 residences with only two condos per floor, creating a more private environment than buyers typically find in larger condominium developments. Waterfront balconies and lanais overlook Fisherman’s Wharf Marina, passing boats, the Intracoastal Waterway, and surrounding Venice scenery.
Condos at Porto Vista
Porto Vista contains 40 condominium residences across four buildings. Floor plans generally provide approximately 1,802 square feet of air-conditioned living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, although some original plans were marketed as two bedrooms plus a den or optional third bedroom.
Open-concept living spaces, high ceilings, large windows and sliding glass doors help maximize natural light and water views. Typical interior features include quartz or stone countertops, wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, large kitchen islands or breakfast bars, crown molding, walk-in closets, interior laundry, and spacious primary suites.
Each residence also includes outdoor living space oriented toward the waterfront. Depending on building and unit location, owners may enjoy views of Fisherman’s Wharf Marina, Roberts Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, sunsets, and passing boats.
Private Garages & Secure Building Access
One feature that distinguishes Porto Vista from many Venice condominiums is its private enclosed garage parking. Individual residences include a private one-car garage at ground level along with additional guest parking throughout the community.
Buildings also feature secured elevator and stairwell access between the garage level and residential floors, providing additional privacy and convenience.
Individual garage configurations and storage features can vary, so buyers should verify the garage, storage areas, parking rights, and any additional improvements associated with the specific condominium.
Waterfront Views & Fisherman’s Wharf Marina
Porto Vista sits directly beside Fisherman’s Wharf Marina, one of Venice’s long-established boating facilities. The marina is located on the Intracoastal Waterway and currently offers approximately 62 slips along with fuel, water, pump-out facilities, bait, ice, boat rentals, fishing charters, and other marine services.
The marina provides access toward Venice Inlet and the Gulf of Mexico without fixed bridges, making the location attractive to both powerboat and sailboat owners.
Boat slips are not automatically included with Porto Vista condominium ownership. Slip rentals and other marina services are arranged separately through Fisherman’s Wharf Marina and are subject to current availability, vessel size, marina rules, and fees.
Buyers purchasing specifically for boating should confirm current slip availability, maximum vessel dimensions, water depth, electrical service, liveaboard restrictions, and other marina requirements directly with the dockmaster.

Maintenance-Free Condominium Living
Porto Vista provides condominium-style exterior and common-area maintenance through its associations. Current MLS information indicates that condominium fees may include services such as exterior building maintenance, grounds maintenance, community-pool maintenance, management, common-area insurance, water, sewer, trash, pest control, cable or internet services, and reserve funding.
Porto Vista consists of multiple condominium buildings and associations, so fees and financial responsibilities may not be identical in every building. Buyers should review the current condominium budget, reserves, insurance coverage, maintenance responsibilities, governing documents, structural reports when applicable, and any pending or proposed assessments before purchasing.
Dockside Dining & Marina Lifestyle
Fisherman’s Wharf Marina offers more than boat storage and marine services. Dockside Waterfront Grill is located at the marina, allowing Porto Vista residents to walk to waterfront dining without leaving the immediate area.
Additional marina services include fuel, bait, fishing charters, boat rentals, scuba-related services, and boat-club opportunities. This combination of condominium living and neighboring marina facilities gives Porto Vista a distinctly boating-oriented lifestyle even for owners who do not keep their own vessel.

Porto Vista is located along North Tamiami Trail immediately north of the bridge onto Venice Island. Historic Downtown Venice is just across the bridge, providing convenient access to Venice Avenue restaurants, boutiques, cafés, Centennial Park, Venice Theatre, community events, and the Venice Farmers Market.
