We enjoyed our visit, and were pleased with the property and its location to places we wanted to go. The pool is a bit outdated and could use an update, and fix the pool lights. But otherwise for just the two of us, it was nice and Carmen and her husband were very friendly and Quick to respond when we had questions.

We were very pleased with the property. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Had a little problem getting the key out of the lockbox upon arrival but Carmen responded immediately and got it for us. She was an excellent host.

Old Florida vibe
There are a lot of pluses to this house in South Venice. The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet and conveniently located. The house was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated with a lot of nice little touches. We appreciated allowing our dog to stay with us( and the yard is fully fenced). The outside could use a little TLC but that did not distract from our stay. We did not use the pool but it was nice sitting out back having our coffee This is a very good value for the price. Thank you Carmen! .

Cozy place
Pros: livingroom and kitchen were fine. Older, but clean and comfortable. Beds were comfy. Area easy to beaches and shopping. Cons: yard needs TLC. Master bedroom access is through the only bathroom or through the other bedroom. No hall access. No problem for us, but if we were with another couple would have been very uncomfortable.

Loved our stay here!
This was a perfect rental for the month. Was able to enjoy it with my two dogs and then husband who flew in a few times. WiFi worked great on my days I had to work. Felt very safe in the neighborhood and spoke with a few of the neighbors who were all very kind. Carmen was a great host, very attentive when things came up. Back yard is fenced which was great for the dogs. Weather was amazing and was able to enjoy the pool. It is not heated which we did not mind one bit. I bought and left some pool floaties for future guests to enjoy! It flew by way too fast and we hope to stay there again in the future!

Needs work
Beauty in eye of beholder. Not exactly 'gorgeous'. Pros: very clean, nice kitchen, living room and dining area, nice bedroom furniture and very comfortable beds, 2 miles from beach. Cons: small, dated bathroom, AC hardly worked in bedrooms, pool not covered, needs significant repairs and had debris in it for first several days. Host agreed to 1pm checkout and was texting me at 10:20 AM asking us to leave. Despite forgetting this, host was very nice. Great if you want budget price and close proximity to beach.

Great stay
Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. Well stocked with most things you would need, grocery store not far for specifics you might want. Comfortable furnishings too! The host was always quick to answer ant questions we had. Would recommend this home for anyone searching for a house close to things to do but far enough removed to be quiet and relaxing.

Nice place with great location
Everything was pretty nice. Location was great! 5 mins from beautiful beach. Here’s some specifics about the place:
The pool needs some TLC but it still works like it should and it was clean.
4 beach chairs and cooler 👍
The kitchen is the center of this place. The appliances all worked as they should. I was a bit surprised at the lack of items stocked in the kitchen. There was only one very small cookie sheet for the oven. There were pots and pans too, but not much for baking. Lots of silverware as well. With all the cabinet space I figured there would be some more dishes and kitchen things. There were no spices or anything, and the cooking utensils like the spatula were pretty rough. Sometimes when I stay in these types of places, it’s like I’m just borrowing someone’s kitchen. This one felt more like it was never used. Also next to the kitchen there was a gold idol, I think it was some Hindu thing. We did not like that at all, and it was left out of the pictures.
The living room was super great and comfy. Lots to watch on the large TV.
The bedrooms and linens were all nice and clean, and the beds were comfy.
The bathroom was a bit dated, but everything worked fine.
Lastly, the location was excellent. It was a short drive to the beach, and everything we needed was a short drive away.
Overall I would recommend this place, but I would expect to need to buy more than you would usually expect to use the kitchen. Also, I’d ditch that gold idol. That was a big turn off.

Great stay
We had a very nice stay at Carmens house. We were close to the beaches and were able to enjoy the pool when we werent at the beach. The kitchen was 100% my favorite part as it is gorgeous! And we loved how close to everything we were. We were 15 minutes from the beaches and downtown venice. The only thing we wish was included in the description is that the owners stay on site on the otherside of the house. However they never bothered us while we were there, and Carmen was great about responding to anything needed. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Girls beach getaway.
The house was perfect for the girls to stay and go to the beach as they please. They loved getting in the pool however, they couldn’t stay in as long as they’d like to because the mosquitoes and noseums would come out at night. They went sleepover style and slept on the couch because they found it more comfortable. Mom got the firm king size to herself. We enjoyed our time celebrating a birthday and just getting away for a bit after graduating from high school.
