Waterfront living isn't one-size-fits-all.
• Insurance: compare flood zone, current wind and flood premiums, and needed coverage.
• Upkeep: canal-front can add dock, seawall, lift, and waterline maintenance.
• Boating: check bridge clearance, depth, tides, and run time to open water.
• Lock-and-leave: beach-close often feels simpler for part-time owners with less waterfront equipment to watch.
If you're weighing both in Venice or Nokomis, I can help you compare the day-to-day, not just the view.
