Nice place, comfy beds. Pool was very nice.Drinking water was gross! Make sure you buy your own water to drink. Other than that it was a quiet neighborhood. I would stay there again.

This home was equipt for all age groups. Plenty of pool toys. Two fridges and lots of beach stuff. And plenty of towels! The size of the home was awesome as well. Very large. Our only critiques were that we went in the winter months critique about the home was that when we went the weather wasn’t so warm. We didn’t have the option of making the pool warmer and it shut off more frequently then described in the welcome binder. However, this didn’t stop us from going in on the warmer day. It was very clean and someone came to maintenance it about halfway through our stay. The fridge water filter needed to be replaced as it said it was 99 days overdue. We just bought water bottles / gallon jugs. The only bad thing we could say about this stay is that the water here is loaded with sulfur. It smells like rotten eggs mixed with metal and was unbearable at times. It also felt slimy. The water in the area will likely taste bad at restaurants. Bring bottled water if you’re going out. The house did have a small filter in the kitchen sink area but it didn’t contain more than about 24 oz of water at most. Location is great for kids as there was so much to do. The nature preserve/park is right up the road (within walking distance) and was absolutely beautiful. A big playground was there as well. Right around the corner from Sharkeys. We found tons of shark teeth in just a few hours. And in downtown Venice there was a shark scavenger hunt and a little splash park.

House was very clean and had every amenity that we needed. Kitchen fully stocked, beach supplies were plentiful and pool was very clean. would definelty stay again!

Loved the house and location. Close enough to great beaches. Beds were comfortable and house was stocked with enough supplies for our week stay. Our only “complaint” is that the water has a strong sulfur odor our first couple of days. The water softener was serviced during our stay which helped with the smell. We would stay here again

The house was as described and in a good location to access shark tooth hunting beaches for the kids. The pool was really nice. We were disappointed that when we arrived the ceiling fan and overhead lights were not working. Rather than fix the problem, Bud left us a small dusty fan to use. Given how much we paid for our stay, we felt it should have been fixed. While we were there the water smelled like sulfur. We thought that was Florida water but came back to the house one day to find workers fixing the water softener and telling us it had been broken. Bud had not disclosed this problem to us. So we found that disappointing for the price (with fees more than $400 per night).

Fully stocked property for families. Plenty of towels for bath/beach and plenty to cook with in the kitchen. House was nicely sealed from bugs and critters. Pool stayed at constant heated temp as advertised. Quiet and friendly neighborhood. Only downside - one tv in the house. I will continue to stay on Buds properties when we visit Venice.

We had a wonderful stay in Venice. The house had everything we needed and we had no issues during our stay. Would definitely recommend this property.

Beach and town we so close!! Great location. Enjoyed fishing and the park down the street. The house was in need of some regular maintenance ( shower fixtures, light bulbs, blinds, dishwasher repair) but they were addressed and some put on a list. I was a bit confused about the additional payment for heating the pool. The temp fell at or below 70 for over a week. A good cleaning with paying attention to detail would be needed. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels. Washer and dryer were appreciated as we were there 4 weeks.
