Like being at home

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.

Quiet Haven Near Beach

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 family vacation!

We loved staying at the Star of Venice! We took our two sons, 11 & 22, & our 2 grandbabies 10 months & 4 years, plus son’s gf and dog! This house was perfect. Plenty of privacy and play space for the kids and they loved the pool. Everything we could possibly need to cook with, take to the beach or hang by the pool was provided! Plus bikes, games & toys for the kids! We can’t wait to go back! Michelle was so helpful and kind - she responded right away. Thanks for making our family vacation memorable & super easy! - The Cochran’s

Very comfortable and homely property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Star of Venice. As soon as we arrived we felt at home. The whole property was clean and very comfortable. The pool area is ideal for spending a lazy morning or so. We loved the position of the house as it is ideal for access to the local stores and the beaches of Venice are just a few minutes drive away. We used the South Venice ferry to get to the quiet almost private island beach which was idyllic. Our hosts were most accommodating and helpful and to this end we would thouroughly recommend this house to anyone. When we are back in Venice we will most definitely stay here again. Many thanks to Michelle for her help.

Wonderful stay Jan 2023 at Star of Venice

The house is tucked way back in the neighborhood, so it's very quiet and there is very little traffic. 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.

House is great! Michelle is even better. The house feels like home, a great home base for the many different beaches close by. I set the fire alarm off early one morning (I like my bacon crispy) ADT notified Michelle and she called to check on us. She was so nice and accommodating! Neighborhood is awesome. House has everything you need and then some. Thank you so much!!!! We've been to 2 other different Venice homes before this one, but we just found out yearly rental in the Star of Venice.

Wonderful stay!

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!

Perfect place for my family. 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.
