JUNE IS A MONTH OF SO MANY CELEBRATIONS. Long, sunny days are busy with graduation parties, backyard cookouts, baseball games, camping trips, bike rides, fishing excursions and so much more. One of the highlights of this wonderful month is Father’s Day, a time to appreciate the men in our lives.

In this issue of Venice Lifestyle, I know you will enjoy the heartfelt story of the Maggios at Reflections in Gold, one of Venice’s oldest jewelers. This tale of a grandfather and his grandson is one of love and teaching, everything fatherhood should be.

We also asked a few of the prominent men in our community—Joel Anderson of Village on the Isle, Mike Pachota of the Venice Pier Group and Mike Dunn of the Atlanta Braves—to share lessons they learned as they climbed up the ladder of success.

Bicycle enthusiasts will enjoy reading about Casey Arena’s new Off-Trail Bike & Brew, a friendly neighborhood watering hole right at the end of the Legacy Trail. And road

Nicki, thanks again to you and Darrell for all your help in decorating our home on the bay! We were so relieved to have walked into your store after searching everywhere in Southwest Florida for quality coastal furnishings at an affordable price! You and Darrell listened to our thoughts, looked at pictures of our space and made suggestions that were perfect. Your flare for coastal design, quality product and excellent service has made our house a home. Needless to say, we were delighted to look no further!

OPEN HOUSE COMMUNITY GROWS IN THE HEART OF WEST VILLAGES

IslandWalk: LUXURY AND AMENITIES AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING

ARTICLE TONY D'SOUZA | PHOTOGRAPHY ISLANDWALK

SITUATED RIGHT IN THE THRIVING CENTER OF THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING WEST VILLAGES, THE FIRST SIGHT THAT GREETS VISITORS AT THE NEW ISLANDWALK COMMUNITY IS THE GORGEOUS AND STATELY MAIN GATE TOWER. An unforgettable landmark, the tower promises luxury, space, exclusivity and security, all of which are indeed found within IslandWalk’s broad and winding streets. With a wide array of attached villas and single-family homes starting from the mid-$200,000s, IslandWalk’s modern designs and spacious floor plans offer models to please everyone.

Location is everything, and IslandWalk could not be better placed. With its main entrance opening right onto South Tamiami Trail, the region’s beautiful beaches and Venice’s historic downtown are just short drives away. Surrounding IslandWalk are numerous championship golf courses, and planned back entrances will lead directly to the Atlanta Braves’ newly opened $100 million Spring Training stadium and sports facility, as well as quick access to Manasota Beach. Even more exciting, just next door to IslandWalk is the site of West Villages’ Future Town Center, which will feature shopping, services and restaurants and become the very heart of the greater West Villages development.

IslandWalk has true 24/7-gated security. Residents within the community enjoy forested preserves; fishable lakes; miles of walkways; and the beautiful homes themselves, all completely new and luxurious. Taking advantage of its 65 years of experience, builder DiVosta—part of PulteGroup—has met or exceeded every industry requirement to create these energy-efficient smart homes. Lavishly landscaped with every space manicured and green, IslandWalk has the uplifting look and feel of an exclusive resort.

Of the 2,400 total homes in IslandWalk, just 500 remain to be sold, and the full build-out of the community is expected to be completed in two years.

“This robust sales activity reflects our great combination of quality homes paired with resort-style living and upscale amenities,” says Josh Graeve, vice president of sales for PulteGroup’s Southwest Florida Division. “IslandWalk appeals to homebuyers seeking a year-round residence or a winter retreat.”

At the community’s design studio, prospective residents can spend time browsing through the more than 8,000 home changes and fully personalize their living spaces.

Currently, the main Resort Center features two expansive clubhouses, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a movement studio, a lap pool, a tropical resort pool, eight tennis courts, four pickleball courts and six bocce ball courts. A main gathering room and other activities rooms allow plenty of space for meetings and parties. Residents can relax in the evenings with friends around the fire pit by the events lawn or enjoy the sunset over the lake. The second Resort Center

At IslandWalk, there is always something to do and plenty of room to do it in. Close to everything and luxuriously designed, IslandWalk is a premier address in one of the most exclusive and growing corners of our region.

VENICE’S VERY OWN 'THE WRIGHT DJ' DJ HARRY HAS THE RIGHT STUFF TO GET YOU DANCING

18

Venice Lifestyle | June 2019

“I SPIN AT COMMUNITY EVENTS, REUNIONS, BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, SCHOOL FUNCTIONS, EVERYTHING.”

“ONCE YOU THINK YOU ARE GREATER THAN THE MUSIC, YOU'RE DONE,” SAYS VENICE’S HARRY WRIGHT, KNOWN FROM ORLANDO TO FORT MYERS AS "THE WRIGHT DJ" AND BY HIS LOYAL FANS AS "DJ HARRY." "You always have to put the music first and have fun. People see you're having fun, it’s contagious and everyone starts dancing,” he says.

Growing up in Chicago during house music's golden age, as a kid, DJ Harry was always banging on desktops and bongos, pursuing a passion for percussions. A Venice local for two decades, DJ Harry honed his craft as Galaxy Lanes' program director for 10 years and Bentley’s Hotel's resident DJ for five years. DJ Harry was recently tapped by the Atlanta Braves to play their new stadium home opener in late March. He plays at many local venues, has an open dance party group on Facebook with more than 400 members and provides music for all events large and small.

The resident DJ at Nokomis’ Paradise Grill for over a year, DJ Harry plays there every Friday night.

In late April, the Paradise Grill crowd danced to his upbeat mixes including Motown, funk, disco, Top 40 and more, as well as Harry’s beloved Tom Petty. Kids enjoyed DJ Harry's hula hoops.

“I spin at community events, reunions, birthdays, weddings, school functions, everything,” Harry says. “I have been in the middle of the best parties for years now.”

FOR LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE. Owner Casey Arena offers 50 craft beers—most brewed in Florida—as well as snacks and free treats for kids. Always dog-friendly, Off-Trail reflects Casey’s passions for bicycling and having friendly conversations over delicious pints.

A former professional basketball player who spent four seasons with England's Thames Valley Tigers, Casey settled in Venice four years ago with his wife, Erin; and their children, Elle, Trevor and Nathan.

“I’ve enjoyed visiting bike and brewpubs around the country, and I have always loved craft beer. I saw we have great trails here but no bike and brewpub," Casey says. "Now, word is getting out, and we are becoming a destination. I want people to experience great Florida beer and have a great bike ride.”

Off-Trail offers bike rentals, a bike club that rides every Monday at 6 p.m., a 5K run every Wednesday at 6 p.m., trivia nights, live music and karaoke. At Off-Trail Bike & Brew, it won't take long for everyone to know your name.

1 . S A F E T Y F I R S T. Make sure your bike is tuned up. Lights are important. Wear a helmet. Have your equipment ready. Know your route and limitations.

We want you to make it here safely to enjoy a brew after your ride.

2. GET TO KNOW OUR G R E AT F L O R I D A B E E R S .

The craft beer scene here is exploding. Great brewers include Tampa's Brew Bus, Sarasota’s Big Top, Lakewood Ranch's Naughty Monk and Gainesville's Swamp Head.

3. GET OUT ON THE LEGACY TRAIL .

It’s safe, and the people who ride it are friendly. We are so lucky that we have 12 months a year of bike riding here. That’s something people elsewhere envy.

Off-Trail Bike & Brew offers rentals.

Off-Trail Bike & Brew is near the south end of the Legacy Trail.

Freedom Takes to the Roads JOHN GIGLIO EXPANDS FREEDOM BOAT CLUB CONCEPT TO RVING

Freedom RVing's John Giglio 34

Venice Lifestyle | June 2019

HAVING GROWN FREEDOM BOAT CLUB TO 179 LOCATIONS IN THE U.S., Canada and France since taking over the company in 2011, Venice’s John Giglio is bringing the club concept to the highway with Freedom RVing.

“The best thing about being in the recreational space is people are here to have fun,” John says. “It’s our job to make sure everyone has fun and to take away the hassles of ownership.”

Freedom RVing's fleet is replaced every year.

Freedom RVing offers two fully outfitted Four Winds RV models: a 24-foot six-sleeper and a 31-foot eight-sleeper. When members join, a one-time entry fee and monthly fee grants access to unlimited one-week reservations. There is no limit on reservations or miles; members looking to take more than seven-day trips simply pay a daily rate. The fleet is replaced annually, and 24-hour concierge service and roadside assistance are guaranteed.

“People want to see our country,” John says. “RVing is a way to unplug and get out on the highway.”
