One-of-a-Kind Home! Pet Friendly, Fenced, Private Pool! 1 mi to Downtown & Beach

The home was perfect! So nice to have a fabulous pool to utilize! Had everything you could possibly need! Great for the fur babies! And excellent location.

One of the best stays we’ve ever done! The pool is absolutely amazing but you’ll never want to leave once you use the outdoor shower! The office space was a hidden gem. The whole place was very cozy and clean. There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like. We miss it already and would go back every year! Thanks so much for having us!

We absolutely loved staying at this wonderful, comfortable, home! So much…that it was our 2nd stay here! Wonderful pool! Great yard for the pups! Location was so convenient, enjoyed taking our dogs to the dog beach every evening for the sunsets! Really enjoyed the outdoor, covered space. It’s everything we needed and more. What a great, grandma, screened porch, with swinging chairs! Really enjoyed Venice beaches and hunting for shark teeth and shells! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home Edie, and Gregg

We enjoyed the outdoor space, especially the pool and outdoor kitchen. Great location with all the amenities!

This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!

Property was AMAZING!! Exactly as advertised. Very welcoming and so cozy. WELL appointed and great location...the property lacked nothing! Already booked for next year. Greg was a great host, so quick to reply to any questions we may have had. We will be dreaming of that back yard for many weeks! Cannot wait to return!

We stayed here for 4 weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. The backyard is amazing and that's where we spent most of our time. Very secluded that you don't even feel your in town. The house itself is an older home with vintage decor. There was a funky smell when we first got there, but it seemed to improve after a few days or maybe we just got used to it. (Not sure which one) The main bathroom is pretty small but my husband loved the outdoor shower so I pretty much had the bathroom to myself. We walk an hour every morning and the Legecy Park (with the bike trail) was only a 3 minute drive. Publix was two stoplights down on Venice Blvd and downtown shopping was just over the bridge, so quick access to many things. Greg & Edie were great hosts and responded to any issues we were having.

The house was clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor living space was fantastic and the pool was super nine. The separate building with bed and super theater room was perfect. We loved the location to shopping and the Venice downtown area. Quite friendly neighborhood and great for walking and bicycling. There were playgrounds in the neighborhood and park a few blocks away with pickle ball and tennis courts. So relaxing and great for grilling out on the patio!

Our 3 weeks exceeded our expectations. We had prompt communications with the hosts. The landscaping was beautiful and well kept, allowing for complete privacy on the grounds.The pool was sparkling. Inside, the home and pool house provided comfortable and interesting furnishings. There was great attention to every detail throughout to provide for a memorable stay.

Great location to beaches! Many great restaurants with 30 minute radius. Close to downtown Venice! My husband and kids had a blast fishing on the beach and combing the beaches for shark teeth. The pool and outdoor patio setup was outstanding! We loved the outdoor shower, great touch after a long day at the beach. We also enjoyed a trip to legoland for the day!

Everything was perfect! We will def be back and book this property!

Wow! I was in paradise! This home is immaculate, warm and has everything you need! I would recommend this property 100%. The owners are extremely responsive and very helpful.

The house was simply amazing! We almost didn’t want to leave. It was so nice to come home after a long day of playing.

Such a unique home in so many ways. Design, outdoor space and decor. Each interior room stylistically seemed different from the rest. Fun knickknacks had me smiling and lingering in some rooms. Highly recommend!

We checked in 5/30/25 and checked out 6/6/25. We had an amazing time with our 4 granddaughters and dog. We have stayed in this area many times before, however this is now our most favorite rental. That is saying a lot as we have been renting vacation properties for 50 years. As good as the pictures are, the property is even better in person. We will defiantly be staying here again. It is close to all the things we love to do in Florida and the home exceeded our expectations.

Amazing place -This was my second time staying here and I hated to leave.

This is an amazing property! Everything we needed was provided except groceries and beverages. Great location for easy travel to restaurants. From decor to amenities, bravo!

We enjoyed everything about this home! Convenient location! Our dogs loved chasing the lizards! The pool was perfect! Great covered outdoor space. Great porch with comfortable swing chairs. We were very comfortable for our 2 week stay!

Our parents live in a smaller home on the island and we’re both sick so we wanted to stay apart with our our new grandchild coming with us. This worked out perfect for everybody and we are very fortunate to find your lovely home!!thank you so much!!

Love Laurel Bungalow. It is adorable, comfortable, and loved our stay. The furniture is not only cute, it is very comfortable. Our beds were so comfortable, and the room was roomy. Everyone who came to visit loved it. I loved having coffee on the screen porch, swimming in the pool, and the outdoor shower!! The Hosts were wonderful!

Amazing trip and a very comfortable house

Great house that was immaculately clean. Fantastic backyard and pool. Wonderful outdoor kitchen. The hosts are very friendly and fix things immediately.

Neighborhood was in a great location for us to be close to all the attractions in Venice, our extended family in sarasota, and a boat ramp. The home was very clean with all the kitchen utensils you would ever need, and the appliances were very nice. The pool and the outdoor area is set up perfect with great furniture and cooking area. We really could not have asked for a better place to stay , and we already booked another stay for next year.
