This home is truly the retreat and vacation you been looking for. Featuring a luxurious, coastal decor with a resort style feel. The name of this home is the Octopus Gardens. This 3-bedroom pool home has a split floor plan with the living area that is absolutely spectacular when glanced upon. The accents which include shiplap on the tv wall with a decorative white stone fireplace with the stunning led lit hanging octopus. In my words, the home is modern yet with an enriched a coastal feel.The home is very flowing in all its accents and with the resort area, in which I will go more detail later, will give your stay here, a special one.
Let us start with the dining room. The dining room area with the champagne bubble lights over the decorative coastal table, only to command itself ready for a feast. Adjacent to the dining area is the kitchen. Along with its beauty and charm, this kitchen has adequate and practical space for work area. The pantry has tons of space for all your dry goods, water, drinks in general. Enough to last the entire stay and then some. Truely a pleasure to prepare your meal in this kitchen. Also, the kitchen is well equipped with a K cup with the option of coffee grinds for individual 1 cup or a pot of coffee, easy to use retro yet modern microwave, state of the art toaster. and utensils and silverware are all high quality. No shortcuts taken here. I myself enjoy cooking gourmet meals and keep a variety of spices at hand along with oils and condiments. The refrigerator has great drinking water and good ice maker.
The social room or the cocktail/coffee room has its own demand for its spectacular views of the pool and resort area.
The master bedroom beautifully decorated with its own master bathroom. The King bed is very comfortable with the bedding and pillows. I give you permission to sleep in. You deserve it. The master bedroom has a tall mirror so you can see the outfit you pick out for the occasion. Also comes with a large dresser plus a walk-in closet. The master bath with its tasteful appearance and window view of the pool/spa which you can't help but to look out as you shower with also privacy glass on the bottom half of the window. The master bath is equipped with a hairdryer and adequate space for personal hygiene, perfumes, and personal belongings.
The guest bedrooms with their own beautiful touches have the laundry room between both the rooms so you are not right up against each other and provides lots of privacy. Both guest bedrooms have very comfortable bedding and pillows. All bedrooms have closets and dressers. All bedrooms have modern ceiling fans also. The guest bedroom left of the laundry room also has a desk for makeup or work office space. Your choice.
The outdoor Lania, which is a prelude to the resort style pool area, is set up either for lounging on the L shaped sofa and those who enjoy outdoor dining will not be disappointed with its decorative stone wall accents and with its amazing view of the pool area.
The Octopus gardens pool area is truly a retreat in its own class as in the pictures. Upon request, The pool is heated in the cooler months for a $ 18 per day fee to cover additional energy usage. The home also has a hot tub which is complimentary with no fee. The garden is private in nature and is well planned in its lay out. The pool has its own lounging area near the front entrance. In the cove of the home is also a private hot tub. This is where I love to have my coffee in the morning. The ambiance is amazing. There are lots of places to lounge including an Adirondack chair lounge area. On the other side of the pool area is a cabana with the option of closing the curtains and having a mid-day siesta. The deck area has 4 lounge chairs and a double umbrella if shade is desired. Also equipped in this area is a grill and showering area. And there is more, from sunset on, the backyard comes to life with the night ambiance of all the lighting of the pathways. The multi color pool light and the lit trees gives you the feel of being in paradise.
The home comes equipped with plenty of bath towels and beach towels. Also included is Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler for the beach. There are also fishing rods along with bikes and helmets in the garage storage area that you are welcome use.
The home also comes equipped with an iron board with iron and also a charging port for electronics.

    Frank tends to all your needs and couldn’t be more friendly. Everything you need to cook, relax and enjoy is available at his property. We spent all our time in the backyard oasis or sunroom. Grand daughter wanted to leave the beach to go back to the house more than once!

    Excellent home! Home was very clean, kitchen was well stocked, and like the reviews said backyard was fantastic? All sorts of beach stuff available for you to use including chairs, umbrella's, cooler, and much more. Also bed's were very comfortable in all rooms! Check-in and out was a breeze. Frank was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend this property to anyone.

    The property is beautifully redone with wonderful touches. The location is very convenient to everything we enjoyed the pool and property enjoying the peace of the surroundings. The only issue we had were the beds were too soft for us but that is a personal preference. I appreciate their effort to make sure the place was thoroughly cleaned for us. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Wonderful!! We had an amazing stay at this property. We have stayed at several beach vacation homes and chose this one based on the good reviews, close proximity to the beach, and the pool area. We were not disappointed! The description and pictures are accurate, and the 5 reviews are deserved! Check in was easy, and the owner Frank checked in with us to make sure we got in ok, gave us some tips for our stay, and some instructions for the house. He was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The house was clean, beds were soft and comfortable.There are beach accessories chairs, umbrellas, cooler & cart to take to the beach, everything you could need! Manasota Beach is only a 4 min drive. The pool area is lovely! Plenty of loungers, cute cabana, pool was clean, there is a hottub which we did not use but would be great in cooler weather! The outdoor shower was a huge bonus! The boys showered outside the entire week, and it was super handy for cleaning up after the beach. A nice shower with enclosed stall, not just a faucet sticking out of the side of the garage or a hose, like some other homes we've stayed at. The pool at night is the best part, lights!!! We were in the pool almost every night. Your own private pool party! Backyard is very private even though there are neighbors, with fencing and landscaping on both sides and a nature area in the back. Would definitely book this property again!

    This property was exactly as pictured online! The house is beautifully decorated, clean and had everything we needed! The backyard is like your own oasis! The pool was clean, warm and absolutely perfect for our family. The hot tub was an added bonus that we enjoyed in the evenings while taking in the fun lighting of the backyard. Frank is a wonderful host with excellent communication. We will definitely look into staying with him again!

    Ideal location, close to shopping & beaches & right off a main rode in Venice. The owner, Frank, was Great- met us at the house to show us everything we needed to know, communication was helpful. Plenty of local dining & several beaches to choose from. But, you wouldn’t need to leave because this house is so welcoming, clean & freshly decorated, loved the heated pool & hot tub with a beautiful resort-like back yard/pool area & comfortably furnished screened lanai. We had plenty of room for 5 (could accommodate 6 or 7 adults, easily). We used the outdoor grill & the kitchen had everything we needed & more. We enjoyed the beach chairs & umbrella on the beach. Didn’t get a chance to use the 4 bicycles in the garage, maybe next time! Since this location is close to family, will definitely choose this house, again, for our next stay. Thanks, Frank, for a wonderful week’s stay in Venice.
