Venetian Point is a small waterfront enclave in north Clearwater, set on Clearwater Harbor along Venetian Point Drive just south of Sunset Point Road in the Old Clearwater Bay area. Local brokerage guides describe it as a boater's neighborhood with homes that sit right on the water and offer easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf (Lipply Real Estate community guide, 2026).
The housing is single-family and varied in age and style, from ranch homes to two-story and renovated luxury homes, with most parcels offering water views or direct water frontage. Local guides note the immediate Venetian Point street is not deed restricted, so there is generally no mandatory HOA, though buyers should still confirm any recorded covenants for the exact parcel (Lipply Real Estate, 2026).
The Venetian Point name covers a short waterfront street rather than a large subdivision, so the money is made or lost on the parcel: the flood zone, the finished-floor elevation, the seawall and dock, and an honest read of an older waterfront home's roof, systems, and insurability, not the headline price.
The pitch is true waterfront living within minutes of downtown Clearwater, Coachman Park, and Clearwater Beach. The work is diligence: after Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, coastal Pinellas buyers have to read the flood map, the elevation certificate, the storm history, and the FEMA 50 percent rule before they fall for a price.
