Decent camp. Fridge stunk and dishwasher non- operable which necessitated rewashing greasy dishes/glasses before use.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Sept 2026
John, so sorry the refrigerator stunk! It’s normally cleaned out after each guest leaves. In fact, we asked that you clean it out before you leave.. In situations like this it always works out better to reach out to the owner to see if we can resolve the issue before a negative review. I feel certain I could have have had the cleaners come back and check to see the problem and resolve it. As for the dishwasher, there’s a sign on the refrigerator as of last week that stated the dishwasher was broken and do not use. Was that sign still there? Just like every rental where people utilize things things break and we understand that we are working on replacing the dishwasher. We appreciate your comments and wish your time would have been more enjoyable.

The property was as promised. However, sad part was at the dishwasher did not work, water pressure was extremely low and the grill was old and pretty nasty. Otherwise , it was a great stay and very nice and enjoyable.

Thanks for the review Ronald. I am sorry about the grill, it is actuall relativly new, however it is difficult to keep the grill clean if the guest don't lend a hand and clean the grill after they use it. I too was down there last week and had to clean the grill before I could use it. As for the dishwasher you were the first to mention that it did not work. We are working on replacing it as we speak. Thanks for the review

About the host

Host profile image
I have been fishing in Venice LA for over 30 years. My partners and I are avid fisherman and hunters (aka "Hunter Gatherers") and have fished or hunted all over the US as well as Canada, Mexico, and the Grand Caymans and there is no place better than Venice, LA!

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a prime spot in the Venice Marina and has been completely renovated and decorated by outdoorsman for outdoorsman. We like to stay in nice places when we travel so we want to make sure this is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) rentals in Venice.

What makes this property unique

Not many houseboats in Venice Marina have Wi-Fi, but this one does as we understand that while you might be here for pleasure, the grind doesn’t always stop. There is also a wine cooler for those of us who enjoy a nice glass of wine in the evening after a long day of fishing or hunting. A brand new ice machine allows you to have plently of ice to ice down thoses beverages as well as your catch.
