Venice, Florida
Venice's Best Kept Secret!!
We all need our own space and this hideaway provides it and more. Perfect for some much needed R&R. From inside your eyes will be drawn to the private outdoor living area. The beautiful aqua blue water of the swimming pool, dense surrounding foliage, birds, butterflies and other resident wildlife make this retreat truly unique.
You are just steps away from the Intercoastal waterway and walking/ bike path. Take a short stroll on foot or venture farther by bike for a few miles to the gulf or head to downtown Venice to explore restaurants and shopping.
This home is nestled in the trees at the edge of a nature preserve, Intracoastal Waterway, and miles of paved bike/walking path. This three bedroom, two bath pool home is located on a dead-end street with a wooded area to the west and green space across the street to the north-east. The back of the home faces the sunset with glass-sliders opening out onto over-sized paver lanai with gorgeous pool view from master bedroom and entire expansive length of living room giving the feel of endless room. Although this property is populated with several beautiful trees, there is no shortage of sun!
The backyard is a peaceful sanctuary for Florida birds and a pass-through for the small timid bobcat. Walk forty steps off the backyard and you will be on the Venetian Waterway Bike/Walking Trail with miles of paved path that follow the Intracoastal Waterway and connect to the Legacy Trail which continues toward Sarasota. You can also bike to several businesses, restaurants, beaches, and parks on the island of Venice from the Venetian Waterway Trail.
Hop on your bike, take a walk, or relax on the bench (as pictured) and be mesmerized by the view because you are also on the Intracoastal Waterway. This is home to dolphins, manatees, and endless marine life. The Intracoastal Waterway runs parallel to the Gulf of Mexico and accommodates everything from kayaks to large yachts traveling locally or those traveling from northern parts of Florida toward the Keys.
This home is in a neighborhood with close proximity to several beaches. There is a kayak launch within the neighborhood. Another bonus for this homes location is Shamrock Park. Shamrock Park is within walking distance of this amazing home and offers nature trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, large children's playground, picnic areas, and restrooms. It is also home to the Florida Scrub Jay (a blue robin-sized social bird) and several tortoises, not to mention large Florida birds.
The location of this home is in a coastal community with the opportunity to visit several beaches in Venice, to the north in Sarasota, or to the south in Englewood.
Pool Heat is optional and available for an additional $110/week plus tax. Please inquire before or after reservation is made if you would like pool heat added to your reservation.
The ferry that is mentioned in some reviews is now available to residents only.
The location was perfect for what we needed at this time. Some beautiful old growth trees, bike path, and Shamrock Park near by is an excellent option for tennis and basketball. We enjoyed our stay and the property management was very friendly and helpful.
Villa situated in quiet area in wooded surrounds. Lots of wildlife to watch, squirrels, birds even saw a bobcat. Ideal for beach trips, boat rides and numerous restaurants nearby. Thanks for a lovely stay
We rent often from VRBO and I think this is my favorite location ever. Spotlessly clean, private pool and great sunset views over the canal. Just minutes away from multiple beaches and yes - we found shark's teeth. :) We'll be back again.
The property is located at the end of a 'dead-end street'. It is very quiet with a wonderful pool area. The house is very cosy and comfortable with a nice kitchen, living room and three bedrooms, each one having a nice size. Interacting with the real estate representative, Angie, was such a pleasure. The reservation process and the following check-in and check-out was a breeze. The overall location is very convenient and you can reach all the local beaches within 30 minutes driving. If you are looking for a nice family Florida vacation, I can highly recommend this property.
Beautiful home, quiet location, lots of wildlife to view.. What more can you ask for! The whole family loved our stay.
This home has everything you need for your stay, it was clean, and has a very nice pool, I really appreciated the mesh gate around the pool to keep out little ones since we had an infant and 3 year old with us :) this property is also very secluded which is very peaceful and relaxing. Property manager very quick to respond and helpful. Great spot for a relaxing vacation
I'm writing this with future guests in mind, saying mostly what I'd want to know if searching for a vacation home. The hosts were wonderful. We got into Florida early and Angie let us check in a couple hours early which was a huge blessing. And any time I reached out to Angie or Gary I was answered in a timely manner. The house was clean, the pool was amazing (loved the safety gate around pool!), the beds were comfortable... everything was great! There are pool toys and beach toys, the only thing I could have used was a beach cart but I don't expect a house to supply it all. Just a thought of something to bring. And bikes would have been really awesome to bring for the trail out back which you can take down to the playground which is about a 20 min walk. The house is a short drive to beaches, about 10 min, and it was super cool to find shark teeth and great shells. Siesta Key has much nicer beaches, white sand and better for swimming but very touristy and expensive. South Venice is more of a residential area. That can be a good thing, depends on what you want out of vacation. There are a lot of strip malls and chain restaurants, rather than the little cute beach town feel, but there are also great thrift stores and pretty much everything you can think of within 10 min drive. Great time, wonderful house, would come back again! Thank you!
This property was in a wonderful location and had everything we needed for a great beach getaway!! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and sand sifters for the shark tooth hunters. The pool was clean and very private. We enjoyed the access to the Legacy Bike Trail. Angie answered all if my questions quickly. Great vacation home.
Living room has beautiful windows overlooking the pool area. Backyard leads to Venetian Walkway and Shammrock Park. Great for those who love to stroll along the waterway. Venice beach and retail stores are close by. As previously noted, the bathrooms are very small. The sink for one bathroom is actually in the bedroom. There is a tight shower stall. Angie and Gary were quick to address some problems. The location and back yard are the biggest selling point. An enjoyable experience.
We stay in Venice every year and this has been our favorite at this price point bc of the location and pool. We added the extra to heat the pool and it was so worth it, highly recommend. The yard was great and it was amazing being able to step out the backyard onto the trail for a run or bike ride. Also loved the proximity of Shamrock Park for the kids. So close to all the great Venice beaches too. The house was similar to other south Venice properties but bc of the location and pool we now definitely rank this as our favorite! Excellent communication from Angie too. Thanks for a fantastic couple of weeks.
I have been traveling to Florida for 8 years, sometimes twice a year. This place was special! Relaxing poolside in the mornings and evenings and exploring the area and beaches during the day. Angie gave us all the information we needed before arrival. This was a 5 star the moment we walked in. It felt like an oasis - for me at least. Thank you both Gary and Angie, allowing us to share this little piece of paradise - just save a time slot for us so we can return to this special place
Stayed for a week with family and had a great time! The location was perfect for us and close to several different beaches which we visited daily. We enjoyed spending time in the pool area and watching the lizards and birds. We travelled with our 2 year old grandson and there was many safety features for the pool area the made me feel more comfortable. Angie even had a pool safety fence set up for our arrival. The house and yard is very private. You cannot see the neighboring houses from the back yard/pool area and the landscaping is really nice and relaxing. It is a quick walk through the backyard to the paved trail and a short stroll to shamrock park. We walked there every evening and enjoyed the sunset along the way. The house itself is also comfortable and very well stocked with everything you need to cook, spend time swimming or just relax. The cherry on top was getting to see a mama bobcat and 3 kittens our last day :). Highly recommend this place for those looking for a peaceful place to swim, relax and destress
This is our 3rd time renting from Angie. This property was our favorite. We saw a dolphin in the waterway, tortoises in the backyard, an armadillo, and a bobcat. The pool was wonderful. The property was nice and secluded. It was very central to beaches and shopping. This was by far our favorite house that we have rented in our years of visiting Venice. We look forward to next year.
We have had a blast. Very comfortable stay with all the amenities needef
Was a nice quiet neighborhood. Neighbors are friendly .. The pool was a hit with the lil one and close to the beach..
My first priority is always the location of a house close enough to walk to fish. The waterway is very close and we caught a good amount of fish in it. The pool kept the family happy. Very clean and nicely kept house overall. Only slight negative of the house would be the bathrooms. Kinda cramped and awkward but usable.
Our family travels to Venice in the summer often and this is our second Vrbo experience. The house was in a great location, walking distance to the intercoastal waterway where we biked and took a walk almost every evening. My husband enjoyed fishing as well. It is close to alot of area beaches . The house was older but had some updates. It was comfortable and clean. The pool was nice although our kids did not play in it as much due to it being on the colder side(you can pay to have it heated...I would recommend ). There are plenty of lizards that visit while in the pool area and my kids were naming them. Milipedes were in season so we had an issue with those throughout the home but there is not much you can do about that but escort them outside. The home has EVERYTHING you need for the beach. There is a whole closet dedicated to beach things. The bathrooms are on the smaller side but clean. It took the water a little time to get warm. Kitchen is well equipped and there is a patio with a grill..We saw a bobcat, tortoise and lots of bunnies. Our family very much enjoyed our stay.
