This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!

The house was clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor living space was fantastic and the pool was super nine. The separate building with bed and super theater room was perfect. We loved the location to shopping and the Venice downtown area. Quite friendly neighborhood and great for walking and bicycling. There were playgrounds in the neighborhood and park a few blocks away with pickle ball and tennis courts. So relaxing and great for grilling out on the patio!

We stayed here for 4 weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. The backyard is amazing and that's where we spent most of our time. Very secluded that you don't even feel your in town. The house itself is an older home with vintage decor. There was a funky smell when we first got there, but it seemed to improve after a few days or maybe we just got used to it. (Not sure which one) The main bathroom is pretty small but my husband loved the outdoor shower so I pretty much had the bathroom to myself. We walk an hour every morning and the Legecy Park (with the bike trail) was only a 3 minute drive. Publix was two stoplights down on Venice Blvd and downtown shopping was just over the bridge, so quick access to many things. Greg & Edie were great hosts and responded to any issues we were having.

Great location to beaches! Many great restaurants with 30 minute radius. Close to downtown Venice! My husband and kids had a blast fishing on the beach and combing the beaches for shark teeth. The pool and outdoor patio setup was outstanding! We loved the outdoor shower, great touch after a long day at the beach. We also enjoyed a trip to legoland for the day!

We checked in 5/30/25 and checked out 6/6/25. We had an amazing time with our 4 granddaughters and dog. We have stayed in this area many times before, however this is now our most favorite rental. That is saying a lot as we have been renting vacation properties for 50 years. As good as the pictures are, the property is even better in person. We will defiantly be staying here again. It is close to all the things we love to do in Florida and the home exceeded our expectations.
