Crooked Creek I is a maintenance-included village of attached villas and coach homes inside Sarasota National, a guard-gated golf master plan in Venice, in unincorporated Sarasota County (ZIP 34293). Homebuilding across Sarasota National gained traction in 2013 when WCI Communities took over development, and stepped up further after Lennar acquired WCI in 2017; Crooked Creek homes date largely to the mid-2010s (Sarasota Bay Real Estate and local guides, 2024 to 2025).
The village offers two attached products. The coach homes are multi-unit buildings with single-level living and an attached garage, a condominium product, while the villas are attached single-family homes. Both carry exterior and landscape maintenance through the association, so the village reads as lock-and-leave living rather than a custom single-family lot.
Sarasota National is the amenity engine: a guard gate, an 18-hole golf course, a resort clubhouse with dining, fitness, tennis, pickleball, and bocce, and more than 1,200 acres set aside for preservation as a certified Audubon community. Whether a Crooked Creek parcel carries bundled golf membership in its dues depends on which village it sits in, so that line has to be confirmed per address (local community guides, 2024 to 2025).
The honest pitch is amenity-rich, maintenance-included living at a Venice golf address, with the work being the layered fee read: the village association, the master HOA, the CDD on the tax bill, and, for the coach-home condo product, the Florida milestone inspection and reserve study status. Confirm the full stack and the flood zone before you fall for the lifestyle.
