Beachy 3BR Retreat ~ Heated Pool & Fenced Yard ~ Pet Friendly! Star of Venice!

Welcome to The Star of Venice, your perfect home base for an unforgettable Florida vacation! This beautifully appointed South Venice retreat combines comfort, convenience, and coastal charm — just minutes from some of the best beaches on the Gulf Coast.

Whether you’re here to unwind by the pool, explore local trails, or enjoy sunset dinners by the beach, this home has everything you need for a truly relaxing stay.

🏡 The Home

Step inside and feel at ease in the open, beach-inspired living space. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and a split floor plan, everyone can enjoy comfort and privacy.

Outside, the screened lanai with a heated pool invites you to spend sunny days lounging, swimming, or dining al fresco. The fully fenced backyard offers peace and privacy — perfect for families or guests bringing pets (with approval).

🛏️ Rest & Recharge
• Master Suite: King bed with a plush Serta pillow-top mattress, walk-in shower, large closet, and private sliding doors to the pool.
• Second Bedroom: Queen bed with easy access to the pool bath.
• Third Bedroom: Twin-over-full bunk bed plus a dedicated workspace — ideal for kids, teens, or remote work.

All bedrooms include Roku TVs, ceiling fans, and comfortable bedding to help you rest easy after a fun day out.

🍳 Cook, Dine & Entertain

Whip up meals in the fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a reverse osmosis water dispenser, and plenty of storage. Enjoy family dinners in the spacious dining room or fire up the Weber gas grill for poolside barbecue nights.

Two sets of pocketing sliding glass doors open to the lanai — creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or simply enjoying the Florida breeze.

☀️ Fun in Every Direction

The Star of Venice is ideally located near everything you could want:
• Beaches: Manasota (5 min) and Venice Beach (10 minutes), Caspersen, Nokomis & Siesta Key (15–30 minutes)
• Parks & Trails: Shamrock Park (tennis, basketball, playground, and Legacy Trail access) and Woodmere Park (pickleball & horseshoes)
• Fitness: Planet Fitness, YMCA, and free beach yoga all nearby
• Dining & Shopping: Fantastic local restaurants, shops, and cafes — many within 2 miles or that deliver

🚴‍♀️ Ready for Adventure

Explore the area like a local! The garage is stocked with adult and child bikes, beach chairs, coolers, shark tooth sifters, umbrellas, toys, and more. Everything you need for a stress-free day at the beach or a scenic bike ride is right here.

🐾 Pet Friendly

Bring your furry friend along! The fully fenced yard and nearby Brohard Paw Park (dog beach) make this a great spot for pet owners. The neighborhood even hosts a casual “dog walk meet & greet” each evening around 5:30.

We loved our stay here!

The property manager was very accommodating and had great communication with us before, during, and after. The home was clean, the backyard and pool felt private, and the neighborhood was cute and quaint. There is plenty of stores and restaurants nearby and only 15 min from the beach!

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The house is beautiful and spacious with everything we needed for a week visiting nearby family. We went to Blind Pass Beach (a 15 min drive) every morning, napped and read on the lanai in the afternoon, and then swam in the gorgeous pool in the evenings. Michelle was a kind and responsive host.
