My husband and I stayed here for a wedding recently and were extremely happy with our stay. The house was very clean and tidy. The property was larger than we expected and there were lots of places to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Deb was communicative and accommodating. We felt super comfortable and had a very peaceful trip here. Would definitely recommend this home for your next trip.

Thank you so much for your very kind review. I really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience.
You were amazing guests and I hope you come stay again.
Thank you,
Deb
The location was perfect for us. Close to walking/biking trail, grocery, restaurants yet very quit and private. Awesome back yard with privacy fence and 3-season room for cooler mornings. House had everything we needed to cook in. As sports fans we enjoyed the TV’s. Private drive for parking. Bed was comfortable. Everything very clean and neat. We found a nice beach at Service Club Park( about 5 minutes from the house) where there are covered picnic tables and restrooms. It was much less crowded than the larger beaches. Already planning to return next year!

Thank you so much for wonderful 5 star review. It was an honor to have you stay, and thrilled that you will be coming back again next year. You were wonderful guests and we are thrilled that you had such a good stay. We love the trail, and the Service Club Park too. Thanks again for staying with us. Deb
Location is very important, no need to leave the island and deal with the nonstop traffic!The house is amazing and sparkly clean. Deb has thought of everything! New comfy furniture, including the beds. I really can’t find any negatives. We lived on the island in the past and so happy we found this gem! The back yard area is private and quiet. Also there is an amazing walkway right across the street that is even lit at night. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for this review. Appreciate that you took the time to share your experience. So happy that you enjoyed it and would love to have you back soon!
We had fabulous time! House was perfect for the two of us. Very clean, neat and tastefully decorated. Had all the essentials we needed in kitchen, bathroom and beyond. I like to cook and kitchen had everything. Bed very comfy. Liked the shower instead of tub. Sofa and loveseat comfortable to watch nice, large TV. Sunroom was peaceful. Yard was nice will plenty of places to lounge and enjoy large grill. Our host was very friendly, informative and so easy to work with. Location to beach and town convenient. Venice is lovely city but crowded this time of year (spring break).

About the host
Hosted by Deb Alles
I was born and raised in Colorado. Still my home, most of the time. However, I love to travel. I find I fall in love with the culture and the new adventures as I experience each place I go! I love doing anything outdoors. Hiking, biking, walking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, diving, snorkeling, and on and on. I tend to be drawn to the areas that provide these opportunities. I love meeting people and getting to know them. I also enjoy a good book by the fireplace and quiet time. I love a good meal, and cooking. I love life!
Why they chose this property
The location is incredible. Yep, location location location. Being on Venice island is what I wanted. Near the beaches, yet safe during threatening storms. Perfect "Old Florida" feel with splashes of new modern homes throughout the neighborhood. The best part are the neighbors!! And, the waterway/legacy trail right across the street from the front door! And, close to downtown. And, close to the beaches. And, close to all amenities! Perfect neighborhood! BTW, for now, the house next door (gorgeous updated home) IS for sale!! You're welcome!
What makes this property unique
Very clean, cared for loved and newly furnished. I'm told "You thought of everything" , and if you as my guest notice something is missing....let me know.
