The Pearl - Beautiful, renovated Houseboat in Venice Marina!

We stayed for 3 nights. Great accomodations making it extremely easy to load up and head out for fishing with our guide. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for hanging out with each other having an open kitchen/ living room floor plan. Loaded with everything that you could possibly look for and want in a place to stay...even an ice machine. The owner was an awesome guy to deal with and very reachable. The marina restaurant is a close walk. If you're reading this review and you still haven't decided on a guide yet, I recommend that you call Blue Line Charters, Rich and Drew. Top Notch guides! Great fun catching with them. One further recommendation...for when you come back with the boatload of fish that Rich and Drew will put you on. If you're having the catch cleaned by the guy at the marina, listen to me and remember to take him a Snickers bar. Snickers..trust me! Otherwise, you will get a very obstinate, obnoxiously rude, and cranky fellow who will put a severe damper on your day.Have Fun Catching!!

We enjoyed the great views and spacious feeling of this houseboat. The ac worked great and beds were comfy. The dishwasher was broken, one toilet would not flush and there was a big puddle of water going into the front door. They had two boards down we could walk and balance on to go in the front though. The host, Johnny, was really nice and got back to us right away to get the toilet fixed as soon as he could, the next day. We would recommend the owner getting new pillows and a nice cart for luggage and supplies. We are return customers and the same old, small, broken cart was still there from our November stay. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed our stay.

Very Good view convenient for fishing. Go fishing with Rich on Blue line charters. Hardest working guy in the business.

Very nice anc clean

Everything was awesome. Look forward to staying here again

Perfect place for guided trips.

Great spot for a Venice trip. Would stay again.

The age old saying Location, Location, Location most definitely applies when it comes to The Pearl. My Pop and I were looking for the ideal place to stay during our Venice fishing trip. The Pearl certainly fit the bill! It was clean, spacious and comfortable. Johnny was very accommodating and responded to my questions immediately. Our fishing guide even picked us up in the morning right off the back deck of the houseboat! We are already counting the weeks until we can get back down to Venice again for some more great fishing and hopefully another stay in The Pearl!John D.

Great place with everything we needed and more. Host was great and could not beat the location. We will be back!

Fantastic time at the Pearl. Always a good rental

Great place. The door lock is a little difficult and the buggy situation needs improvement. We would definitely book again.

Clean, spacious - very relaxing.

Everything was great. Highly recommend!

Great

Host was very responsive and fishing was great! Would stay here again.

We loved staying at The Pearl. The owner was eager to help us in any way. The scenery at The Pearl was any fishermen’s dream. I will stay there again if available.

Great place.

Enjoyed the Pearl, beds were comfy, view was to die for and we enjoyed walking up to see all the fish coming in. If I had a suggestion would be some chairs /rockers on the back deck...... I would probably never leave if they did. Brand new gas grill worked liked a charm , ice machine was a beast . Will stay again we hope very soon

The house boat was exactly as we pictured it and we had a awesome day fishing but had to cut our vacation short because of hurricane we are planning on returning in May / June 2025

Very pleased with this house boat would not change a thing about it, it was great!
