Everything was perfect! The house was absolutely gorgeous, the pool temperature was perfect, the house was well stocked with towels, cleaning supplies, and everything you could need in the kitchen (minus food 😀)! There was lots of stuff beach stuff for us to use and bikes for all of us to ride. The host were absolutely wonderful! The beaches were all clean and beautiful, plus we found LOTS of shells and shark teeth! The location was perfect just short driving distance to everything, restaurants, Walmart, the beaches. I also recommend checking out Keys Huka dive in Nokomis and John's Pass in Madeira Beach there is so much too do there and is only about 45 minutes away. Thank you for helping to make our first family vacation perfect! ❤️

Excellent winter getaway with everything you need. Gobs of beach goods: Sifters (for shark teeth hunting), beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, small cart. Tons of towels: Will you need them for the pool? The beach? The tub? They have it covered. The back patio is where you might be if not at the beach: 85F pool, dining table, lounging area (with ceiling fan to conquer the no-see-ums), and propane grill. Internet connectivity was suitable for work and play. Roku and Chromecast devices were available. Unrelated: Grab the groceries from Detwiler's but if you need something quick, hit up Mad Dogs.

This house was so beautifully decorated. It was an extremely comfortable house. The pool area was very well furnished to be able to spend the day/night outside. Super close to the beach and the neighborhood was super peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Great great place and service.

The house had a great floor plan, modern decor and pool. We loved the location and would stay there again.

This home was beautiful just like the pictures show. We had access to the garage door opener thing that goes into the vehicle which was so handy and the ferry pass to use to get to the semi-private beach. Super cozy and comfortable. Felt like it could have been our own home. The only problem we had with the home was the dryer took a long time to dry. We had to run it multiple times to get things dry. That made it hard with how many towels we were using between the beaches, pool, and showering.

We have stayed in many homes in the area over the past 10 yrs and this one has been the best. First off, let me tell you that the master bedroom mattress provided the best nights sleep ever, we are buying one for our home!! The house is extremely clean and organized. This rental has everything you need to spend the day at the beach and provides everything you need to cook meals. Thank you Doug and Patti for sharing your beautiful home with us in paradise. We will be back!

We stayed at this property while we were cleaning out an estate in Englewood and I can't tell you how nice it was to come back to this inviting home. We had all the comforts of home in a beautifully decorated home. Our girls loved the pool. We saw dolphins when we went to Pops for lunch one day. I highly recommend this property. Communication with the property owner was excellent. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

We enjoyed this home. The neighborhood is in transition from original homes to more updated / new homes. We appreciated communicating with the property owner directly vs. thru VRBO. Owners were very accommodating and quick to reply. Great having access to ferry boat to private beach where shark toorh hunting was fun.

Great property. Great location. Had everything we wanted and more. Pool, ferry pass, modern amenities, beach chairs, beach towels, kayaks, life jackets, bikes, etc. We really enjoyed biking and walking over to South Venice Lemon Bay preserve.

Great

We stayed here for several weeks to quarantine before safely visiting family during the pandemic. It was the perfect place to be for our purposes. Well-stocked with everything from dishwasher soap to paper towels and spices, we felt very much at home. The pool was spotless, the house itself was also quite clean and new. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious new build. The home was clean and nicely stocked with essentials from towels to detergent to beach chairs and toys. The pool was very clean and pleasant. The neighborhood was quiet. Communication with owners was prompt and any questions we had were properly addressed.

This was our best vacation ever! The home was very clean and accommodating. My youngest wanted to stay there and enjoy the home and pool more but we had things to do every day. One of our favorite things to do was to take the provided beach chairs and umbrella to Nokomis beach and spend several hours experiencing the beach life. The South Venice Beach accessed by the ferry pass was nothing short of breathtaking!! The location of this house was perfect and left us dreaming of making South Venice our home! Derek and Patti have been blessed with quite a gem! We are so grateful they have provided a comfortable place to relax and make memories with family. Snook Haven was by far the best eats we had all week! Super friendly and we even got to see a baby alligator in the wild! Some must visit again places : South Jetty, Sharky’s on the Pier, Maxine Barritt Park, Mad Dog Hotdog, and last but definitely not least, Shamrock Park for an evening walk and wild animal viewing. We plan to visit this home away from home again!

the whole experience with this property went superbly. The house is new (2018 ) and so everything was bright and shiny. The owners responded quickly to questions. The pool was wonderful and we were very comfy there. We will return someday.

Our family has travelled all over the world and stayed in many online vacation rentals. This was one of our favorites. The house is new and very well constructed. It is impeccably maintained. The efficiency of space was on point! The pool was great and the smaller size was perfect for our small children. The kids swam all day long when we weren't at the beach and the adults enjoyed the nice patio furniture. We didn't use the pool fence but it was nice to know it was there. All of the linens were high quality. The kitchen is well stocked with kitchen supplies/appliances and tools. We loved taking walks and bike rides in the neighborhood. The highlight of our stay here was taking the ferry to the beach. You feel like you have a private beach all to yourself! It's amazing! I am a Florida native and it's as close to untouched as you are going to get! And a great outdoor shower at the house when you get back! I cannot say enough nice things about our stay. We cannot wait to come back and stay in S. Venice!

Great place to stay. Especially when the outside world is going crazy. All the conveniences of home and then some. Derek was great and always helpful and prompt with any question. Plan on returning when things get back to normal. 5+ stars

This was the best trip to Florida I have had to date! The house was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed to enjoy our vacation was there, bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas! Thank you!!!!!!

This property fit our needs perfectly. My Lady cousins and I enjoyed this home in a quiet neighborhood in Venice, Florida. The home was immaculate with new furnishings. The passes to the private beach was a nice feature. Families would enjoy the bicycles, kayaks, and games provided. Book early this home is a gem.

We arrived two days after Christmas and spent the week. The house was above and beyond what we expected. Everything was very clean and as described. We had an amazing week and can’t wait to go back.

Great place and location

Derek and Patty are very nice home owners . Willing to make their home your happy place. Home was awsome . Everything you need is there bring yourself and begin having fun. Close to beach , shopping and more . Cant wait to get back !!

My family and I came and stayed at this property in June 2019, the house was amazing. Very clean and a great location. We would definitely rent this place again.

Quiet neighbourhood, well equipped . Pool area very private. Lovely home.

Exactly what we were looking for. We've rented several homes through VRBO over the years and this is one the best equipped homes we've stayed in. Plenty of pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Ample bath towels and abundant pool towels. Super comfortable beds with extra linens and pillows. We spent every day by the pool. Covered lanai was perfect for when we'd had too much sun. Although we didn't use them, the kayaks and bikes were an added bonus. Owners were great to work with. I highly recommend!

Wir waren zu dritt in diesem schönen Haus. Hätten aber auch zu fünft sein können. Es ist alles da im Haus was man so braucht. Mit dem Vermieter hatten wir einen kurzen Draht um aufgefallene Kleinigkeiten zu klären. Jederzeit gern wieder.

Awesome ! Our only complaint was pool was very cold and filled with green Algee making it not useable !

Best trip ever...
