Best House Ever!!!

We had plenty of beds, towels, bathrooms, and a very well stocked kitchen that made our stay amazing! Having a pool where we could easily watch the kids swim while we cooked was another aspect we loved! Only 2 minutes from the beach made it where we could quickly run back if we forgot something and for lunch. We wish we could find a house like this everywhere we travel!!!

Year 2

We were thrilled with the house and location last year, so returned for "year 2". The house is very functional for a larger family and accommodating to our needs. Love the short walk to the beach and surrounding neighborhood. Already looking forward to next year.

This place was great. The lay out around the pool was really cool. The thing I loved most was how quiet the street and surrounding streets were. The short walk to the beach.

Wedding weekend

The house was a perfect size for our family. Our 6 grandchildren had fun playing with the stuffed animals they found upstairs. They also enjoyed the pool and hot tub.I would not recommend this house for a handicapped person. The front steps and shower were very difficult for me. I have MS and walk with a walker.Other than that the house was very nice.

Fantastic Beach getaway

A short drive to the beaches and downtown historic Venice for shopping. This house was great for 3 families with children. Plenty of room to hang out and to spread out. Location was nice on a dead end road. This is probably one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at to date.
