We were truly impressed with this gorgeous property! It was immaculate and very tastefully decorated.

Great Stay and Hosts

Kevin and Katie were great hosts. My husband and I travel frequently and have stayed at many vacation homes. They responded right away during the reservation process and when we had questions about the area and home. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We loved the pool and private backyard as well as the bikes in good condition. First time staying in Venice for us and we really liked the bike trails and cute downtown area as well as fishing and beach.

Great little home with lots of amenities. Would be better if the pool was heated upon arrival. The water was too cold for swimming and the pool heater was preset to turn off over night so the pool never warmed up for swimming. There were also presets on the thermostat that made it difficult to manage.

Sweet Retreat!

Wife and I love Venice and have visited frequently. This was our first time staying off the beach but we were able to get to the beach easily. She even took a walk one morning to Sharkey's and back. I was able to have my normal vacay mode kick in right away. We enjoyed coming back from the beach and relaxing by the pool. I think I got the best tan for spring break this year because I didn't get burned up knowing I didn't have to soak up all that sun at the beach! Overall the place was great and will stay again! Only issue was the Master bed was softer than I like. Everybody likes what they likes! Lol
