Tropical Venice East Home, Heated Pool, Minutes to Beaches, Restaurants, Golf

Welcome to the Date Palm House in the quiet neighborhood of Venice East. Let this be your private, tranquil vacation Home Away from Home.

Venice East is a quiet single family home neighborhood and a designated protected Sandhill Crane area. Come enjoy the warm tropical breezes of Florida's Gulf Coast and stay in our 3 bedroom, 2 bath Florida bungalow located in an established, tranquil neighborhood with large oaks and creeks perfect for bike rides and sunrise or sunset strolls. If you venture out and about the neighborhood you are likely to see wild hare, sandhill cranes, wood storks, spoonbills, ibises, herons, etc., all of which make for a pleasant outing.

The home offers a split plan with the master bedroom, which has an ample yet cozy seating area, on-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, located on one side of the house, and the second and third bedrooms located on the opposite side along a semi-private hallway.

The bright airy bedroom that faces the rear of the home has a queen size bed and sliding glass doors that provide a view and direct access to the lanai area and solar heated pool. The third bedroom decorated with a nautical theme faces the front of the house has two XL twin beds. Down the hall from these two rooms is a guest bathroom with a tub.

The flat screened smart television is located in the cozy yet open "tv nook" living space where there is a sleeper couch (that opens out to a full/queen size bed) and matching recliner perfect for those cozy nights or family time streaming your favorite shows.

The secure 5G Internet is perfect to access your streaming services or should you need to check in to work remotely. The living TV Nook is a quaint area adjoining the living room and offers great views of the front and back of the property. The sleeper couch located in the TV Nook pulls out to a full/queen size bed, should you need to temporarily accommodate an extra guest.

The galley kitchen and adjoining dining area are large enough to enjoy a home cooked meal or take out if you prefer. The table comfortably seats 6. Both the kitchen and dining area face the rear of the home and open onto the lanai and pool area.

The open concept “Living room/Florida room/“tv nook”, has a fully functional wood burning fireplace, as well as, sliding glass doors that lead out to the lanai and pool area. On cool nights (upper 50's to lower 80's is cold for Floridians), open the sliding glass doors and enjoy the breeze while sitting by the fire.

The lanai area is also a great space to enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the many birds in the area. Or if you prefer, you can use the propane gas bbq grill provided and enjoy a cookout by the pool.

The pool deck and lanai are fully enclosed with a new screen enclosure. The pool deck is finished with pavers and there are lounge chairs where you can relax by the pool and enjoy the sunshine. The pool is solar heated via rooftop mounted solar mats that are plumbed into the pool's existing circulation system. During the daylight hours as the sun hits these special solar mats the water in the pool will gradually start to heat up over time. This is a slow but gradual process that can be done even on days with partial sunshine. Because the effectiveness of the solar pool heater depends on the availability of the sun (which is generally not an issue since we live in the Sunshine State and even partially sunny days can be sufficient to warm up the pool water), the pool will water will not heat much on cloudy days. Other factors such as wind speed, and ambient air temperature, also play a role in how efficient the solar heater will work, and since it is not an electric heater, we cannot guarantee or tell you how warm the pool water will get on any given day.

A washer and dryer are located in laundry area that is within the attached two car garage. There is an automatic garage door fob to use in your vehicle during your visit. The garage has plenty of room for bikes and beach chairs. Beach chairs are provided along with beach towels and even a "scooper" perfect for collecting shark teeth on Manasota or Venice Beach, after all, Venice is the Shark Tooth Capital of the World.

If your interest is the beach, you are in luck. With over seven beaches, several under ten minutes away, you can be basking in the sun via a short drive. If your interest is golf, Venice East is where you want to be. Less than two minutes from the property is the Venice East Golf Course with affordable rates. If you are a shopper, like me, then you will be in heaven. With major department stores, as well as local shops, consignment stores and two outlet malls nearby, you will not believe the deals you will find! Whatever your interest, we want you to relax and feel at home, in your rental home away from home!
