Che Vista condos on Venice Island in Venice FL are now complete.  I spotted trucks moving in the first residents last week. Here's an updated and final video for Che Vista, now that construction work is completed: Che Vista has direct beach access through Chauncy Howard Park , and most units have some kind of Gulf of Mexico view. These units sold for over $650,000 when new, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and private elevators.  Che Vista is pet friendly, allowing two large dogs.  Condo fees are $496 monthly, but can change once new construction is completed and management is turned over to the owners. No resales have come on the market yet, but you can book mark my website and check when they become available, or you can let me know if you'd like an automatic email update as soon as the first Che Vista condo resale hits the market.
