Great spot for stay in Venice. Easy to get to. Comfortable, well equiped and host wonderful to deal with. Would recommend to anyone looking for affordable place for Florida vacation.
This home is a great place to stay while visiting Venice . Close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. The house is well stocked with shark tooth finding tools, beach towels and so many other things you don’t have to worry about bring! Also the host is very responsive and friendly!
We had a wonderful stay. Property is exactly as described and beautiful. Host was very welcoming and helpful of our needs during our stay. One of our most relaxing and refreshing stays we have had. Would most certainly recommend staying here and will be looking forward to booking another stay.
The house was perfect for our vacation. Everything exactly how described, clean and beautiful. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on vacation. Michelle was wonderful, she checked in to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Will definitely stay here on future trips.
The house was fantastic. It had everything we could ask for. The pool was so nice and a great temperature. We would definitely stay again. We had a wonderful, relaxing time.
This house was perfect for our family visiting for Christmas. The floor plan worked for early risers vs those who aren't, the kitchen was well appointed for meal preparation, and the host was prompt with check-in info and making sure our needs were met. Will definitely rent again if needed.
We loved our stay here! This home was equipped with lots of things for us to use at the beach and we appreciated the abundance of beach towels as the kids were in and out of the pool all weekend and they left us with plenty of supplies to keep the towels clean too. The property manager was very accommodating and had great communication with us before, during, and after. The home was clean, the backyard and pool felt private, and the neighborhood was cute and quaint. There is plenty of stores and restaurants nearby and only 15 min from the beach! We definitely recommend to stay here!
This place was wonderful. It was private, quiet, close to everything you needed. This was probably my favorite place I've stayed at so far. Would definitely stay here again

Wonderful stay
Wonderful place to stay, close to all of what we like to do in Venice.
Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood.
Privacy fence creates a nice private backyard and pool area.
We plan to stay here again on a future trip back to Venice.
We stayed 6/20 to 6/26 and have absolutely zero complaints. Home was comfortable and well equipped. We spent a lot of time at beach and had everything needed from chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and shark tooth hunting equipment If we had a question Michelle answered right away ( we didn’t have many)A 10 to 20 minute ride to beaches, restaurants and Wellen Park. Overall a great experience
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The house is beautiful and spacious with everything we needed for a week visiting nearby family. We went to Blind Pass Beach (a 15 min drive) every morning, napped and read on the lanai in the afternoon, and then swam in the gorgeous pool in the evenings. Michelle was a kind and responsive host.
Great location to beaches and shopping. Great house layout with 3 bedrooms sleeping 7. All the beach toys and baby needs you could ask for. And a great pool. Michelle was a great host responding quickly to any and all questions.
We had an amazing time at the Star of Venice!! The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything we wanted. The home had everything we needed. Our kiddos loved the pool!! We had several meals on the lanai by the pool. We also enjoyed the ferry to the private beach. We definitely plan to come back!
We enjoyed our stay here. We had 2 families and the house had plenty of space for 4 adults and our teenage children. The house was very clean and bright. The beds were comfortable. The owner had everything we needed for the week. The location is close to many different beaches and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place.
