About Venetian Bay Neighborhood
Venetian Bay Villages occupies a prime position along North Hoagland Boulevard in northern Kissimmee, accessed directly from Venetian Bay Drive and surrounded by the commercial and entertainment energy of the US 192 corridor. The community was developed in phases between 2003 and 2006, resulting in a cohesive residential campus of townhomes and condominiums that blend resort-vacation appeal with practical primary-residence living. Its address at the intersection of two major Kissimmee corridors — Hoagland Boulevard and the Osceola Parkway — gives residents extraordinary connectivity while the guarded entrance provides privacy and peace of mind.
Homes in Venetian Bay consist of three-bedroom and four-bedroom townhomes and condominiums ranging from 1,296 to 1,470 square feet. The three-bedroom floor plans offer 2 full bathrooms and a master suite conveniently located on the first floor, while four-bedroom plans include two master suites for added flexibility as a vacation property or multi-generational household. Construction is block and stucco with shingle roofs, typical of early-2000s Central Florida resort-community building standards. Many units are fully furnished, turn-key, and available as immediate short-term rental investments.
What sets Venetian Bay apart from comparable communities along US 192 is its authentic neighborhood feel within a resort framework. The community features Italian-inspired street names — San Vittorino Circle, Santa Maria Drive, San Gallo Drive, San Sabastian Drive — and a tree-shaded internal street network with walking paths and a lakeside porch overlooking a fountain pond. The 24-hour manned gatehouse provides a level of security typically associated with much larger and more expensive communities. With direct access to the Medieval Times dinner corridor via Hoagland Boulevard and The Loop shopping center minutes away, daily living is as convenient as the location is entertaining.

Venetian Bay Amenities & Lifestyle
Life in Venetian Bay Villages operates at a resort pace by design. The community was planned from the ground up as a dual-purpose destination — equally suited to full-time Kissimmee living and vacation ownership — and its amenity package reflects that ambition. Four pools (including a heated main pool with jacuzzi), a fully equipped fitness center, courts for tennis, basketball, and volleyball, a game room, and a clubhouse with a 44-seat movie theater create a daily living environment where entertainment never requires leaving the property.
The Italian-village-inspired streetscape, lakeside porch with fountain views, and tropical landscaping throughout the community give Venetian Bay a sense of place that stands apart from the more generic resort-zone developments along US 192. For residents who work in the Kissimmee area, the community's northern location along Hoagland Boulevard means fast access to employment centers, the Osceola Parkway, and SR 417 without fighting through the resort-traffic congestion that defines the southern US 192 corridor.

How Venetian Bay Compares
Venetian Bay Villages occupies a unique niche in the Kissimmee market: a guard-gated, resort-amenity community at a price point well below the single-family home alternatives along US 192. For buyers seeking the combination of security, community amenities, short-term rental flexibility, and central location, few Kissimmee communities deliver more value per dollar.
Compared to comparable resort communities, Venetian Bay's 24-hour manned gate, four pools, and full-service clubhouse are typically features reserved for communities at significantly higher price points. Its short-term rental zoning adds an investment dimension that purely residential communities cannot offer.

Venetian Bay HOA & CDD Information
Venetian Bay Villages operates under a mandatory Homeowners Association that governs the community's common areas, amenity campus, and exterior maintenance standards.

There is no Community Development District (CDD) fee at Venetian Bay Villages — a meaningful financial advantage when comparing the community's overall cost of ownership against newer developments in Osceola County that carry CDD assessments in addition to HOA fees.
