Your Venice Destination

Great place to stay we will be back every year

This boat house was very well stocked with everything that we needed. It was super clean, kitchen was fully stocked, with ample parking, and in a great location. The host was a great guy and responded in a timely manner to any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for one. We will be renting this place again.

My favorite place to go!

Great location with easy access, fantastic communication from property owner, simple check-in and out process, and plenty of room for our group of five. Amenities are well planned, work great and provided for an amazing adventure.

It was a great experience staying on Doug’s houseboat. He was a very friendly and responsive host. The house was well stocked and very clean. You can definitely feel the movement of the houseboat so I would recommend Dramamine for anyone who tends to get motion sick.

Doug is a great host and his place is awesome with everything you need. Super clean, location is perfect. Top ratings for Doug 5/5 starts

Host was excellent and actually reached out before my trip to thank me and give me some great tips for the area. Will stay here again.

Clean. Everything works. Easy to get to with gear from water and the parking area. What more could you ask for?

Great houseboat

Doug went above and beyond to help us on our first trip to Venice. We will be going back next year.

Doug was excellent on communication

The stay was wonderful, we loved the houseboat. Did not get to go fishing because of the wind. But that’s ok I will be back. Thank you Doug.

Everything about it was spot on for what we needed

Perfect location in the marina. Tons of space inside. Already ready to book it again for next year.

Once again, the Dorado and the owner Doug did not disappoint !! The houseboat was freshly painted and extremely clean upon arrival!! Doug is always attentive and available to his customers. Don’t and won’t stay anywhere else in Venice marina ..

Great location and easy access for any size boat.

Can't say enough great things about this house! Could not ask for a better host. Five stars all the way around.

Great boat-house located on the back half of the Marina; was perfect for the group of 4 of us to enjoy our weekend of guided fishing! Plenty of bed space, full kitchen, ice cold A/C, and back patio for enjoying the weather. 2nd day of fishing our guides picked us up straight from the house! Our host ensured that we had everything we needed. Overall a fantastic experience and great location - highly recommend!

The camp is first class. Everything you need for a wonderful time fishing or just enjoying Venice. Mr. Atkins was very gracious and accommodating. My family and i will definitely be back. I highly recommend this well maintained camp on the water in Venice.

Camp was perfectly located in Venice. It had all of the amenities needed. I would definitely stay there again! Doug was pleasant to deal with.

Wonderful houseboat and awesome place to fish. Great owner!

Perfect local, I hate to give such a good rating as it may impact my availability for later!!

Great property. Owner very nice and easy to communicate with. Great fishing.

My 2nd time staying here. Clean, well equipped. Ice machine kept up with us. AC kept us cool.

Doug runs a top notch houseboat!!!!!! AAAAA

Doug is great to deal with and this is the perfect location for fishing in Venice

Perfect location, clean and has all the things needed for our annual fishing trip. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Awesome time in Tuna Town USA. Speckled trout were flying in the boat. Google : Jamie Taylor Guide Service for an awesome day of fishing on the bayou.

Excellent property, convenient to landing amenities. Perfect fish camp.

Clean and enjoyable. Nice spot in the marina

Had an amazing stay, the owner was phenomenal to deal with, could not have been better, had some rough weather and went back and forth with owner until the captain decided we had a good enough weather window and were going to send it, we fished with Bob Hovey at LA Bluewater charters and this spot could not possibly be better located to fish with those guys as you walk right out the front door and step on there boat because that’s right where the store them, house boat had everything we needed for our stay and was cleaner and nicer then we even expected the group gave it a 10/10 and will most definitely be returning here for any trip to venice in the future regardless of size of our party

This place was exactly what we needed for our short fishing trip. The place is clean, and the location was ideal. The owner was amazingly responsive and easy to work with. I'm looking forward to future trips at this location!

We had family down for a fishing trip. Charters picked us up at the house! House was well maintained and had everything we needed. 2.5 baths is a huge plus as well. Would definitely rent again if we return.

Has everything you need Great communication and easy check in Will definitely stay again

Great place to stay. Very comfortable. Has everything you need.

Our very experienced guide had not picked up fishermen from this location before. We fed him a couple of dinners and he was very impressed with the accommodations compared to nearby locations. There were only two of us in this large floating house but, we thoroughly enjoyed every square foot! Location to Crawgators bar/resturaunt is a plus.We usually cook extravagant dinners and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cooking sheets, etc. This was our third trip to Venice for fishing. We will only stay here from now on.

Great communication Awesome location Clean Comfortable beds

We booked a houseboat for our stay while fishing. Great location. House fit 6 men perfect. Will rebook when we come back.

love the place

My favorite place to visit!

The property owner is outstanding. He communicated regularly with us as we watched for Hurricane Francine to pass. The houseboat has been well maintained and looks the same as when I stayed there 6 years ago. The houseboat is comfortable, spacious, and laid out well. The floor plan allows for everyone to participate in cooking, watching football, and reliving the day’s fishing. We also enjoyed watching all the boat traffic from the back porch. It is the perfect base for fishing from Venice. I will stay here the next time I am back to fish.
