We had a 4 and 1 year old, had everything we needed. Had a lot of pool and beach toys. The pool was great. Close to beaches, downtown Venice and other attractions. Quiet neighborhood, no sidewalks for walking but drivers moved over when they saw you. Really enjoyed our stay. ##### Julie P.

It was exactly as described. The house was accessible by a keypad on the front door which was very easy and convenient. My husband and I were mostly there ourselves, although the house would comfortably accommodate a few more people. It was great to be able to bring our dog as there are several very nice parks with walking trails close by (short car ride) specifically Shamrock and Lemon Bay. Walking in the neighborhood was safe since there was very little traffic. The pool was a nice size and was warmed by solar panels. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking meals at home. The beds were comfy (we only used the King and Queen bedrooms). We appreciated that the house was very clean upon our arrival. The host was very nice to work with and quick to respond to any of my texts. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to family and friends. ##### ELizabeth S.

We love going to Venice each year, taking the S. Venice Ferry to a kind of private beach to look for shark teeth. The ad mentioned passes for the ferry so all was great. Then, just before the trip, we found out passes weren’t included due to a rule change. Wish we had known that sooner but ultimately it wouldn’t have made a difference-a rule is a rule. Mentioned this to host-she immediately apologized and said that now only people who stayed 30 days could use pass and would immediately change her ad to inform people of the new regulations. She even offered to refund our money but we had already made our plans and didn’t want the hassle of trying to find another place. She was very polite the whole time-even offered us an early check-in! So anyhow, once we got over the initial disappointment, we had a very enjoyable time. The house was convenient and we enjoyed area restaurants (especially Left Coast Seafood with their daily specials) and shark tooth hunting at Casperson Beach. We celebrated a birthday with a fishing charter (about an hour away). We left the weekend before the hurricane and forgot and left some glasses there. Host said she would have housekeeper get them then BOOM-hurricane. So glasses took a while to get sent, but they are on their way. She kept in touch the whole time! To sum up-after the early misunderstanding, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and host answered texts almost immediately, each time. We made sure to follow instructions for check-out exactly (even took pictures) because she tried very hard to make our stay good-and with the hurricane coming, they would have enough to worry about! I recommend this place and this host very much. ##### elizabeth w. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan R. Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An amazing summer vacation on Fourth of July week We had such an amazing vacation at this home. Upon arrival the house was even better than it was described. The cleanliness of the house was amazing. The house was stocked with all the amenities all we had to do was bring food and drinks. They even had all that you needed to use in the beach. The location of the house was within 20 minutes of everything. The neighborhood was very quiet and easy to access. I would recommend this home for anyone. I am going to be renting it every year. The property managers are so nice and they get in contact with you immediately in case if any questions. ##### Ryan R.
