House in Venice Gardens, Heated Pool, Wi-Fi, Waterfront

Everything was just fine. The host was very helpful in letting us know where we could find all the things we needed. Wish the weather had been warmer, but we had a blast shopping and sitting around being with one another.

Had a wonderful stay. Home was in a great location. Home is a great choice. The only issue is the grass was quite long and the shower curtain was dry rotted, so we replaced it, so that water would not get everywhere. Nothing major. We would stay again.

Pool was great.

This was our third stay at this property and we had a fantastic time again. Short drive to several beaches and close to restaurants and shopping. Relaxing in and by the pool is always a highlight. Cannot wait to book again!

Perfect for what my family and I needed.

Pros: the house was centrally located, had Aldi’s, Dunkin Donuts, and a shopping mall nearby, a 10 minute drive to Venice beach. The swimming pool was delightful, lite at night, the kids loved it. It was large enough to swim lapsThere were beach chairs and swimming noodles in the garage for our use, and a washer and dryer. Hair dryer and soaps in the shower off the master bedroom. The house had towels, toilet paper, napkins paper towels and trash bagsTwo bathrooms with showers and tubsWi-Fi, central air which worked wellLarge tv in living room that had streaming with Netflix and Amazon Prime.The house was very cleanCons: the third bedroom was not a bedroom but a small den with a pull out sofa which was very uncomfortable. Once the sofa was pulled out, there wasn’t much room to move around in the room. There was a small deck over the water which collapsed when the four of us stood on it to watch the sunset. We almost had a catastrophe when the end of it went down but fortunately none of us fell in. I notified the owner right away. He said thank you for notifying him but did not come to the house to see what actually happened. It was a day or two before someone came to corral it off. He did not ask if anyone was hurt. The lock box that held the key did not work despite all of our efforts. We had to go in and out of the house through the garage. The kitchen wasn’t very well stocked, although the refrigerator was good and it had an ice machine.

The house was amazing for our family! It has everything you could need and more (lots of things for the beach too.)

Stay was great. All the amenities.

Thank you

We had a fantastic stay at this home! The highlight was definitely the pool—our kids absolutely loved spending time there, and it made our vacation extra special. The house itself was comfortable and well-equipped, and although we encountered a few minor maintenance issues, the owner was incredibly responsive and took care of lt right away. We really appreciated the prompt communication and attention to detail. Overall a great experience!

Gregg is a super nice host! My family stayed a full week and thoroughly enjoyed the house and pool. We would stay again if we have the opportunity.

The house was found to be in clean order. We found everything we needed for our short stay.However, the landscape could you a tidey, as well as the garage. As a former landlord, I understand not wanting to spend money on a property. But a few bucks would go a long way with this property renting for more money.

First impression outside was an eye sore. Grass and plants around house was grown up and need cutting badly. Surrounding houses lawns was cut and neat. House was very clean. A little updating especially furnishings in living room and removing the couch in the screen patio, would make this more pleasing place to stay.

Property was as advertised. Location was excellent for ease of access to Venice and the surrounding area. Bird life was especially good for viewing in the back yard and we had at least 3 small alligators in the lake. Interior of the house was clean but could use some further maintenance (eg not all the blinds are in good repair.). Host was responsive and easy to work with.

House was as pictured in the listing. Enjoyed bird watching from the back yard every day. Pool was a nice extra, kids wished it was heated to a warmer temperature. Plenty of space for a family of 4! Proximity to the beaches were within reason too.

We had a great time

We stayed a week in the home to vacation and visit family friends in the area. The home is comfortable, clean, and conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and beaches. Enjoyed the pool and backyard setting.

Overall the property was clean, furniture is outdated, but clean. Pool area was nice. Outside of property was definitely not the same as what the pictures depict. Landscaping was dead and there were dead bugs stuck all over the entrances. The biggest issue is that the air conditioning was not cooling the house. We arrived at 10pm and the inside temp was 83. We set the thermostat to 72 and there was no cold air blowing from the vents. So we decided to stay in a hotel for the night, came back the next morning at 9am and the inside temp only went down to 79. We made several attempts to discuss this with the owner, but the owner did not believe us, even though we had pictures and videos and called us liars several times. The owner was rude and unwilling to resolve the problem. We've been renting from VRBO for over 5 years and have never had such a bad experience. I'm sure the owner is going to say something negative about us in a response, but my review is based on facts.
