Venice, Florida
My beautiful home is fully renovated located in a very quite safe neighborhood. Enjoy just a short bike ride to Manasota Beach or you can choose to do yoga on Venice's famous beachfront every morning. Just a 3-minute ferry ride will take you to a fabulous, private South Venice Beach accessible only to residents of the neighborhood. The beach is not crowded and has breathtaking views of the sunset. Venice was voted as top 10 Happiest Seaside Towns, escape to this Paradise!
The house is the perfect beach weekend hideaway. The photos don't do it justice because, in my opinion, they are darker than it actually is. We arrived, to music welcoming us and sun pouring through the high living room windows. Very open and cozy feel to the whole home. Most of the beaches are within 15-min drive plus the historic downtown. If you need a reset this is a great spot.
Clean house inside. Listing was accurate
We like booking this house each year for our Florida vacation. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood & for the price of a small condo, you get the privacy of the whole house. This year the living room sofa was new & very nice. It's easy to get to places you want to go in the surrounding areas & has access to a private beach. Love it & will book again.
We just returned from a week at this property. The house was nice on the inside, clean and comfortable. The property had a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room for our family. There were a few disappointments, though. The listing says that a pass to the private ferry and beach are included in the stay. We accessed the pass with directions from the owner, but when we arrived at the ferry, we were denied access by the captain because we weren't the original pass holders. They started a rule in January that no one could access the ferry on borrowed passes. Even when people who lived there offered to take us as their guests, we were still denied access to the ferry and beaches. So, be forewarned (not just with this property, but other properties in the area as well) that they will not let visitors onto the ferry or beach. I communicated with the owner that they had denied us, and she did apologize, but honestly we had chosen this house because we could walk to the ferry and the beach. The rest of the week, we were driving 15-20 minutes away to go to public beaches. Also, the outside of the home is in desperate need of maintenance. The fence is falling down in the back, there are holes in the siding, there are rat traps set around the house, the porch is sloping downwards. Even with these issues, I think we would still come back to stay. Everything else was nice (inside was EXTREMELY clean) but just a few things that may need fixing and the passes to the ferry were our main issues.
Price was attractively low, and we were still disappointed.
This property looks exactly as the listing states. Roomy, clean, access to washer and dryer. My only advise is that if you take the ferry to the beach they do not allow any type of cart, you must carry things with you. The private beach is amazing, we had an entire clean beach all to ourselves. Downtown Venice is cute and there happened to be a craft show the day we stopped. It is far from things we drove to Sarasota, but overall worth it.
The home was not located within walking distance to a beach as noted, the ferry ride to the private beach was not appealing, nor was the beach. Also, the home had a sour odor, which we later discovered was due to wet items lying in the laundry room. There were crumbs on the sofas, and the ceiling fans were full of dust. The TV on the second floor was inaccessible, even after following the owners directions to connect it. Our overall stay was below satisfaction.
This is our 2nd time at this location. The house is clean & comfortable. It is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but it's easy & convenient to get into town or to the highway for a road trip. We used the ferry for the 1st time & found that the private beach was better than going to Caspersen Beach to get sharks teeth. The owner is quick, professional, & courteous in her communication. We will book this house again in the future.
