Really, our overall stay was absolutely excellent! The rooms were clean, the central air working and a blessing, and it was awesome to have the pool! There were a few things that weren’t exactly what was originally listed but they were minor for us. There is only one queen size bed instead of two (the other beds are double), the ice maker on the refrigerator didn’t work, there was a significant amount of mold (stained) in the washing machine, and the fence was broken, which was a concern since we had brought our dog and that was the reason for booking this VRBO. My spouse and brother-in-law did go to the hardware store to buy the needed items to fix fence and they cleaned with the bleach the mold in machinethe best they could but it remained pretty stained with mold. I did mention the last two to the property manager/owner and he apologized for the fence saying it was damaged in the hurricane from last fall. We also found or should I say our dog found another opening in the wire part of the fence. If you need a totally fenced in yard when staying with a dog, beware that the fence isn’t fully secure. There was another fenced-in part of the yard but it had thistles in the ground that bothered our dogs feet. Brian, the owner/manager said that he was looking into replacing the fence and the drum part with mold of the washing machine. The mold was also in the detergent tray. It may have been cause by the tray and front load door not being left open when not in use.

We booked this house as an 8 day vacation but we wish we could have stayed longer! Brian was a great host! Easy to communicate with. Absolutely no complaints at all. The house is more beautiful in person. It’s decorated beautifully, very welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The beds are very comfortable, we only used the master bedroom as it was just my husband and I and the bathroom suite was beautiful. The pool area was clean and tidy, absolutely gorgeous pool. The location was also perfect. Quiet friendly neighborhood. A short drive to a number of beautiful beaches and restaurants and shops. We found it perfect in every way. Would 100% recommend this property to anyone. And the next time we plan a trip to Venice we would love to stay here again. I almost forgot the yard, beautiful back yard, two side areas one is fenced so if your bringing your dogs it’s perfect. We especially loved the trees.. lots of fruit trees including 2 mango trees. My new favorite fruit is Mango now. Brian said to help ourselves and they were delicious. Thank you for having us Brian it was a pleasure.

From the moment that we booked our stay to the moment that we checked out our entire stay and experience was nothing but stellar. Brian was an absolute joy to coordinate with. We were very pleased with his honesty, availability, and how easy he made the check in process. He was incredibly welcoming, easy to contact, and helpful without being intrusive at all. Truly a great host! The other reviews are true; The photos in the listing do not do this place justice. The home was beautiful, open, and clean. The house is well taken care of and had plenty of room. The yard, while it could use a little TLC, was large, and fenced in; perfect for our dog. It was also very cool to see all of the fruit trees in the backyard! The pool area was also very nice and a wonderful place to relax after running around downtown Venice. The kitchen DOES have a Keurig, K-Cup compatible coffee maker, in the event that you're reading the reviews, trying to figure that out, like we do. 😅 The area was perfect for what we were looking for. The home is located in a very quiet, friendly neighborhood, and is a quick bike-ride distance away from multiple restaurants, shopping and even downtown Venice which was beautiful and quaint! The home was also very close to Detweiler's, which - if you haven't been - is a MUST GO If you enjoy fresh produce and baked goods. Overall loved exploring a new town of Florida, while having the perfect, comfortable and friendly "base of operations" to come home to each night!

House was great. Very clean. Rooms are nice. We had space with 4 adults, 3 kids and one baby plus our dogs for a family get together. The house was clean and neat. There was a dining room with a table. Master room leads to pool and so does the second bathroom las well as large sliding glass doors from the living room- house is tile so we went in and out through the bath broom bc when wet it is slippery. Pool was clean with a nice screened in space to keep bugs out. There were a couple large floats. Pool/beach towels are provided. Yard is fenced- if you have a sneaky dog just be careful bc there are a few gaps. Our dogs checked it out but thankfully listen pretty well. They had a blast too. We went to caperson beach to find sharks teeth-13 min drive. Easy to get to. And we found a couple small teeth each! Publix is about a mile away. If we have the opportunity to go back we would 100% rent this house again. Also Brain was wonderful to speak to and answer our questions promptly leading up to our vacation and during. One of the best experiences I have had with a vacation rental.

Pictures don’t do this property justice ! Super clean, nice and updated. Definitely would stay again . Property manager very nice and personable.

This was a great place to stay for our family. We loved the location! It was about 10 minutes from Venice beach or Casperson beach. It was also close to downtown Venice.

Perfect location and amenities for our family of 5. We were going to Fox Lea for a horse show for the weekend and it was very close. The pool and yard were perfect for the family. We will certainly plan on staying again! And we recommended to other families coming to the area.

The hosts were gracious, generous, and kind. Home is even prettier in person! Everything was clean. We loved our stay!
