The Venetian Bay Lifestyle in New Smyrna Beach
A neighborhood built to be lived in.
Venetian Bay is one of New Smyrna Beach's most distinctive master-planned communities — a lakefront town center surrounded by walking trails, golf, independent dining, a full-service spa, and a local coffee shop on the water. Cordova sits at the center of it, meaning most of what you need on a daily basis is already a short walk away.

MarketA family-owned neighborhood market in the town center stocked with groceries, fresh produce, beer and wine, and everyday essentials. Clean, well-organized, and staffed by people who know their regulars — the kind of local convenience store that makes a neighborhood feel complete.
Nature Trails
OutdoorsVenetian Bay's trail network winds through the natural corridors bordering the golf course and community lakes, shaded by Florida live oak and palmetto. A full morning loop takes roughly 20 minutes and puts you back at your door before the day starts. Low traffic, good surface, and the kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find inside a city. The trails connect directly to the lakefront walking path at the town center.
Perks of a Cordova address.
Free resident beach parking
With a Cordova address, residents can register for free on-and-off beach parking at participating locations. Typical beach parking rates can be $30+ per day, so this is a perk you’ll feel every time you head to the coast.
How to register →Resident golf discounts
The Club at Venetian Bay is an 18-hole semi-private championship course just down Airport Road, and Cordova residents receive discounted rates. Its clubhouse restaurant and bar are open to the public, too, so it’s an easy spot for a round or lunch after nine holes. Ask our leasing team for discount details.
