Quiet Venice Retreat with Private Lanai & Pool!

An honest review: This property was perfect for our needs- a location very close to our friends. It’s not a perfect property, but it’s clean, in a safe location, has a pool (we didn’t use- wasn’t heated), and feels comfortable. We liked its proximity to Shamrock park and had fun riding bikes through there. It would benefit from a few upgrades- but you’re not paying top dollar and it is worth what you are paying.

First of we tried to call and text the property manager and she never got back to us. When we arrived we found the garbage cans were overfilled. They looked like they had not been emptied for at-least a month. We tried the property manager and again no responses. We called Evolve and they said they would try and contact the owners. He got back to us stating he was out of the state. The property manager was out of the country so there was NO one there to help. I was told the cleaning people had been there but the toilets had yellowish stains inside. The front Screen door was broken and would not shut all the way. The two bedrooms on the side of the house with the shared bathroom need new mattresses. Very uncomfortable. The pool person left the hose in the pool. The worst VRBO we have ever experienced.

The home was convenient, but not quiet. It is on a main street with much traffic. At night, when vehicles went by, there was a light on the house next door, apparently a motion detector, that flashes right into the two side bedroom windows.The house itself is in need of a deep clean as the A/C grates in the living room are caked with dust. Also, the windows outside were very dirty and my wife had to clean them all.The front screen door is broken.The back fence is broken and held up by boards.The grill needed to be replaced and we are grateful that was done as well as fresh propane was reimbursed by the rental agent.The light in the fan on the deck does not work, limiting our evening use of the deck.Two light bulbs in the guest bath do not work along with the bathroom fan.There is no hot tub, despite being advertised.There is an internet camera on the back deck pointing to the table. Unnerving.The pool is well maintained and we did meet the pool guy who is very nice.Bottom line, this home is not a value at the advertised rate. However, we do appreciate the financial consideration the rental company provided for the issues encountered.Thank you.

Our stay here was Great! I stayed with my sister, we had so much fun! The place was clean, we enjoyed the pool and they had a basketball game in one of the bedrooms. We were close to the beach, park and downtown Venice.

Our stay was fabulous!!! I wish we could rate even more stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The experience from start to end was great. Not only was the home spacious and clean but the little added touches were the best. Cannot thank this family enough for opening their home and providing us a place to make memories with our family! Looking forward to returning in the next few months! We found a home worth returning to and I know you will too!
