Amazing stay!

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The location was perfectly out of the way in a quiet neighborhood yet close to everything I could want. The beach was not even ten minutes away from the front door. Having a pool was great and everything else was perfect.

Relaxing home

This house was clean and nicely decorated as a beach house. Loved the colors and the furniture was comfortable. The pool was clean and warm with plenty of seating. Encountered a minor issue which the hostess took care of immediately. It is located close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Loved it!

Nice 3 Bedroom with Pool.

I would stay here again, however a few pros and cons that I would say about this property: PROS: heated pool, detailed binder for guests with tips for the area to explore, 3 bedrooms, spacious floor plan, well furnished ranch home, nice landscaping around pool and cute decorating, quiet neighborhood located near stores and restaurants, pool towels provided, washer and dryer, well equipped kitchen, internet, TVs in every room and family area. CONS: master bathroom is smaller than the shared hall bathroom and master has no tub. Master shower may be a tight fit for larger person. One bed was too soft with some sort of foam layer on top that sunk in too much. Kitchen could use updating and installation of a garbage disposal would be nice. Upon arrival, we saw a car parked in the driveway which is kept at the property by owner. It would have been good to have known this ahead of time as we didn't know if other guests were inside. While this location is not within walking distance of any beach, it's a short drive to several beaches.

What an incredible week! My wife, our three kids, and I had an absolute blast! The house was perfectly located just minutes from so many amazing beaches. We especially loved Caspersen and Venice Beach—between the two, we found **291 shark teeth**! It was like a real-life treasure hunt!We also made a quick trip up to Siesta Key, where we soaked up the sun on the beach and enjoyed exploring the charming village and shops. So much fun packed into one trip!The house itself was a dream—spacious, relaxing, and full of fun. The pool was a hit, and there was plenty of room for everyone to unwind after a full day of adventure. We had a great time playing games and watching movies!Huge thanks to Kathleen for sharing such a wonderful home with us. We’re already counting down the days until we can come back to Venice!

We had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need; ie towels, kitchen items, beach and pool toys, bikes. It is in a great location, close to the beach, downtown Venice and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at this lovely Venice home. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beds were super comfy. The owner was very responsive with any questions we had and the house was bright and spacious. Our favorite activity was searching for shark's teeth on Venice beach. We hope to return again!

Florida Vacation

Kathleen was incredibly kind and helpful leading up to and during our stay. The home is very well appointed with lots of extra spices and dry goods. The pool is definitely well maintained. The location is helpful because you are 10-15 minutes to anywhere in Venice you'd like to go. A nice home base for your vacation.

Nice Home in a Very Convenient Location

Our stay went quite well. The home was very clean and met all of our needs. It was a great location for trips to downtown Venice and the beach, but also in venturing out for longer excursions. The neighborhood is quiet and well kept. Our only complaint was with the unseasonably cold weather that we encountered while we were there. We definitely would consider a repeat visit sometime in the future.
