This was exactly as I had hoped for! It was in a quiet area, and private, but yet close enough to the beach to just jump in the car and go! The owners are wonderful and communicate quickly. This little hidden gem is a must when in Venice! My little four legged baby enjoyed being able to roam and play, or just sit on the back patio and relax! Oh, and you truly don’t need anything except your suitcase! The owners have everything you need waiting for you!

We stayed as a family of 4, two adults and two kids plus our 8lb dog. Property is a detached mother in law type of property that is very well maintained and clean. Hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. The location is ideal just a couple of minutes to Manasota Beach which is great to find shark teeth. Very private and spacious outdoor area with swing. We were comfortable and had great wifi. The added laundry room and spacious garage were a huge plus! We have stayed in MANY vacation rentals and this one was one of our favorites because it was clean and comfortable. Look forward to staying again!

This place was perfect for my kids and I and our husky. Everything that you could possibly need was available inside the home. Private and beautiful. The master room was perfect and had a roomy washer and dryer closet with full length mirror that I planned to buy when I got there and didn’t need to once I saw there was one! My kids loved the tree swing! I had my own personal issues while there and they were so empathetic and understanding and worked with me making it much less stressful on that end. They even had beach toys and chairs to use! We will be back next month!

From the moment I opened the door I knew that I had found the perfect vacation rental. The House was immaculate and stocked with everything one would need for a trip away from home. Each of the two beds were very comfortable, the water in the soer was hot, there were more than enouch twel, sheets, etc. It was evident that care was taken in the choosing charming decor and the comfort of the guest. It was a true delight sitting on the porch and drinking coffee each morning. Kathy (the host) kept in touch from the moment I booked the stay to the last day. I LOVED my stay here.

We enjoyed the location/distance to my family who live in South Venice. The space was perfect for our family of 3. Had a garage to park inside if you wanted. The hosts were present at check in even though we got in late. They Communicated the water conditions at the beach when a rip current was in effect. Would be perfect for anyone there to visit the beach, they had all the beach necessities so you wouldn’t need to bring anything with you. Would definitely stay there again.

House was perfect. 3 miles from beach. Host very helpful and they provide more than I expected. I saved a lot of money not having to buy paper towels, cleaning supplies, trash bags, paper plates, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and soaps, etc. the beach supplies were awesome as well. We look forward to coming back

This cottage is amazing! So clean and comfortable. We loved that it is only a few miles from a beautiful white sand beach! Perfect location tucked away on a dead end road made it wonderfully quiet and private. Having a garage was a plus and having it stocked with beach chairs, shell rake and other beach supplies was a blessing. The host was very welcoming and had great communication with us. We loved it and hope to go back in the future!

My husband and I, along with our 3.5 month old, spent a long weekend here and it’s the perfect spot! Great location! It’s quiet but also close to everything. The beds are comfortable and the hosts thought of everything. For our baby, we set up the pack n play in the second bedroom and they even provided an inflatable infant bathtub. The house was very clean and we would 100% stay here again!

The home was excellent—just the right space for my teenage son and me as we visited family. The bedrooms and bathroom were nice, and the living space and outdoor patio area were great. The only minor issue was the neighbor, who has dogs, and they would be out barking late at night, but that was not the hosts' fault; it is just something to be aware of.

The only complaint I have has nothing to do with the rental ,but the neighbor's dogs may wake you in the morning. Overall it was a great experience and it was a bonus that Jerry and Kathy are a brother and sister in Christ. They are a blessing!

They even had beach toys and chairs to use! We will be back next month!

This was exactly as I had hoped for! It was in a quiet area, and private, but yet close enough to the beach to just jump in the car and go! The owners are wonderful and communicate quickly. This little hidden gem is a must when in Venice! My little four legged baby enjoyed being able to roam and play, or just sit on the back patio and relax! Oh, and you truly don’t need anything except your suitcase! The owners have everything you need waiting for you!

The property is somewhat remote, which is good. And, truly only about 4 minutes to drive to the exceptional Manasota State Park Beach. The host, Kathy, is very helpful and responsive!

Great location to multiple gulf beaches. Hosts were wonderful. Property is clean and in a good area. Loved that the beach amenities were here for guests to use like cooler, umbrella, sand toys and chairs. Would stay again.

The rental was clean, conveniently located to beaches and shopping, and a pleasant place to relax after a busy day in the area. The rental is a guest house in the back tucked behind the owner’s house. All went well with our stay.

Check in process was easy. Communication with the owner effortless. Location close to the beach, restaurants, yet still private & quiet. We will book again if available when in Venice.

The property was decorated nicely and clean. It was in a safe and quiet location 5 minutes away from the beach. The host was friendly and communicated promptly. More than enough towels and bedding. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!
