About this house rental
Venice's Best Kept Secret!!
We all need our own space and this hideaway provides it and more. Perfect for some much needed R&R. From inside your eyes will be drawn to the private outdoor living area. The beautiful aqua blue water of the swimming pool, dense surrounding foliage, birds, butterflies and other resident wildlife make this retreat truly unique.
You are just steps away from the Intercoastal waterway and walking/ bike path. Take a short stroll on foot or venture farther by bike for a few miles to the gulf or head to downtown Venice to explore restaurants and shopping.
This home is nestled in the trees at the edge of a nature preserve, Intracoastal Waterway, and miles of paved bike/walking path. This three bedroom, two bath pool home is located on a dead-end street with a wooded area to the west and green space across the street to the north-east. The back of the home faces the sunset with glass-sliders opening out onto over-sized paver lanai with gorgeous pool view from master bedroom and entire expansive length of living room giving the feel of endless room. Although this property is populated with several beautiful trees, there is no shortage of sun!
The backyard is a peaceful sanctuary for Florida birds and a pass-through for the small timid bobcat. Walk forty steps off the backyard and you will be on the Venetian Waterway Bike/Walking Trail with miles of paved path that follow the Intracoastal Waterway and connect to the Legacy Trail which continues toward Sarasota. You can also bike to several businesses, restaurants, beaches, and parks on the island of Venice from the Venetian Waterway Trail.
Hop on your bike, take a walk, or relax on the bench (as pictured) and be mesmerized by the view because you are also on the Intracoastal Waterway. This is home to dolphins, manatees, and endless marine life. The Intracoastal Waterway runs parallel to the Gulf of Mexico and accommodates everything from kayaks to large yachts traveling locally or those traveling from northern parts of Florida toward the Keys.
This home is in a neighborhood with close proximity to several beaches. There is a kayak launch within the neighborhood. Another bonus for this homes location is Shamrock Park. Shamrock Park is within walking distance of this amazing home and offers nature trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, large children's playground, picnic areas, and restrooms. It is also home to the Florida Scrub Jay (a blue robin-sized social bird) and several tortoises, not to mention large Florida birds.
The location of this home is in a coastal community with the opportunity to visit several beaches in Venice, to the north in Sarasota, or to the south in Englewood.
Pool Heat is optional and available for an additional $110/week plus tax. Please inquire before or after reservation is made if you would like pool heat added to your reservation.
The ferry that is mentioned in some reviews is now available to residents only.

Listed below are the pros & cons!
We had a great trip! There were 5 of us including 3 little kids. The location of the house is in such a nice quiet neighborhood that also has a great bike/walking path right out the back along a beautiful waterway that offered beautiful views of the sunset. We saw so many different kinds of lizards, cool frogs, a huge iguana, an amazing bobcat & a gopher tortoise right from our yard! Walking down the path it goes to the wildlife area & we saw so many tortoise homes & had beautiful birds come right up to us! The heated pool was great!
Pros: location, enclosed pool (can be heated), grill, price, carport, owner communication, beach sifters & chairs, lots of bath & beach towels, washer & dryer, wildlife
Cons: So many mosquitoes it was miserable outside the house or pool, the AC couldn’t keep up with the heat. It got up to 81d almost daily & we had to buy fans. The master curtains didn’t cover the whole windows & were see through so no privacy. Then the curtains in the living room were so sheer/see through they let the sun heat it up bad(we covered the windows with towels & blankets for privacy & to keep it cool), light switches don’t actually turn on any lights except in the kitchen /living room, no bathroom counter space & no mirror over the sink, just a very weird layout/setup, no full length mirrors, lots of cleaning rules when paying a cleaning fee.
Overall it was a good stay.

Great location, pool was a plus although we spent 90% of our time at local beaches. We had a fantastic time. It was a nice home away from home.

I brought my mom and son here for a week to visit with family. It was everything we hoped for and thoroghly enjoyed our stay. Bed were comfortable. It was centrally located and on the International waterway that provided an excellent and safe place for exercise or just a nice walk. We enjoyed the pool every day. The house was equipped with accomodations that made it easy to eat in and play without having to buy alot of extras. The beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella came in handy. Angie was great to work with and responded to messages promptly. If we ever get a chance to return to the area I hope the house will be available because we would love to stay again. We all miss it since we left.

The location was perfect for what we needed at this time. Some beautiful old growth trees, bike path, and Shamrock Park near by is an excellent option for tennis and basketball. We enjoyed our stay and the property management was very friendly and helpful.

We rent often from VRBO and I think this is my favorite location ever. Spotlessly clean, private pool and great sunset views over the canal. Just minutes away from multiple beaches and yes - we found shark's teeth. :) We'll be back again.

The property is located at the end of a 'dead-end street'. It is very quiet with a wonderful pool area.
The house is very cosy and comfortable with a nice kitchen, living room and three bedrooms, each one having a nice size.
Interacting with the real estate representative, Angie, was such a pleasure.
The reservation process and the following check-in and check-out was a breeze.
The overall location is very convenient and you can reach all the local beaches within 30 minutes driving.
If you are looking for a nice family Florida vacation, I can highly recommend this property.

This home has everything you need for your stay, it was clean, and has a very nice pool, I really appreciated the mesh gate around the pool to keep out little ones since we had an infant and 3 year old with us :) this property is also very secluded which is very peaceful and relaxing. Property manager very quick to respond and helpful. Great spot for a relaxing vacation

I'm writing this with future guests in mind, saying mostly what I'd want to know if searching for a vacation home. The hosts were wonderful. We got into Florida early and Angie let us check in a couple hours early which was a huge blessing. And any time I reached out to Angie or Gary I was answered in a timely manner. The house was clean, the pool was amazing (loved the safety gate around pool!), the beds were comfortable... everything was great! There are pool toys and beach toys, the only thing I could have used was a beach cart but I don't expect a house to supply it all. Just a thought of something to bring. And bikes would have been really awesome to bring for the trail out back which you can take down to the playground which is about a 20 min walk.
The house is a short drive to beaches, about 10 min, and it was super cool to find shark teeth and great shells. Siesta Key has much nicer beaches, white sand and better for swimming but very touristy and expensive. South Venice is more of a residential area. That can be a good thing, depends on what you want out of vacation. There are a lot of strip malls and chain restaurants, rather than the little cute beach town feel, but there are also great thrift stores and pretty much everything you can think of within 10 min drive. Great time, wonderful house, would come back again! Thank you!

This property was in a wonderful location and had everything we needed for a great beach getaway!! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and sand sifters for the shark tooth hunters. The pool was clean and very private. We enjoyed the access to the Legacy Bike Trail. Angie answered all if my questions quickly. Great vacation home.

Living room has beautiful windows overlooking the pool area. Backyard leads to Venetian Walkway and Shammrock Park. Great for those who love to stroll along the waterway. Venice beach and retail stores are close by. As previously noted, the bathrooms
are very small. The sink for one bathroom is actually in the bedroom. There is a tight shower stall. Angie and Gary were quick to address some problems. The location and back yard are the biggest selling point. An enjoyable experience.

We stay in Venice every year and this has been our favorite at this price point bc of the location and pool. We added the extra to heat the pool and it was so worth it, highly recommend. The yard was great and it was amazing being able to step out the backyard onto the trail for a run or bike ride. Also loved the proximity of Shamrock Park for the kids. So close to all the great Venice beaches too. The house was similar to other south Venice properties but bc of the location and pool we now definitely rank this as our favorite! Excellent communication from Angie too. Thanks for a fantastic couple of weeks.

I have been traveling to Florida for 8 years, sometimes twice a year. This place was special! Relaxing poolside in the mornings and evenings and exploring the area and beaches during the day. Angie gave us all the information we needed before arrival. This was a 5 star the moment we walked in. It felt like an oasis - for me at least. Thank you both Gary and Angie, allowing us to share this little piece of paradise - just save a time slot for us so we can return to this special place

Stayed for a week with family and had a great time! The location was perfect for us and close to several different beaches which we visited daily. We enjoyed spending time in the pool area and watching the lizards and birds. We travelled with our 2 year old grandson and there was many safety features for the pool area the made me feel more comfortable. Angie even had a pool safety fence set up for our arrival. The house and yard is very private. You cannot see the neighboring houses from the back yard/pool area and the landscaping is really nice and relaxing. It is a quick walk through the backyard to the paved trail and a short stroll to shamrock park. We walked there every evening and enjoyed the sunset along the way. The house itself is also comfortable and very well stocked with everything you need to cook, spend time swimming or just relax. The cherry on top was getting to see a mama bobcat and 3 kittens our last day :). Highly recommend this place for those looking for a peaceful place to swim, relax and destress

This is our 3rd time renting from Angie. This property was our favorite. We saw a dolphin in the waterway, tortoises in the backyard, an armadillo, and a bobcat. The pool was wonderful. The property was nice and secluded. It was very central to beaches and shopping. This was by far our favorite house that we have rented in our years of visiting Venice. We look forward to next year.

Home Away From Home
Our family travels to Venice in the summer often and this is our second Vrbo experience. The house was in a great location, walking distance to the intercoastal waterway where we biked and took a walk almost every evening. My husband enjoyed fishing as well. It is close to alot of area beaches . The house was older but had some updates. It was comfortable and clean. The pool was nice although our kids did not play in it as much due to it being on the colder side(you can pay to have it heated...I would recommend ). There are plenty of lizards that visit while in the pool area and my kids were naming them. Milipedes were in season so we had an issue with those throughout the home but there is not much you can do about that but escort them outside. The home has EVERYTHING you need for the beach. There is a whole closet dedicated to beach things. The bathrooms are on the smaller side but clean. It took the water a little time to get warm. Kitchen is well equipped and there is a patio with a grill..We saw a bobcat, tortoise and lots of bunnies. Our family very much enjoyed our stay.

Love the location.
My first priority is always the location of a house close enough to walk to fish. The waterway is very close and we caught a good amount of fish in it. The pool kept the family happy. Very clean and nicely kept house overall.
Only slight negative of the house would be the bathrooms. Kinda cramped and awkward but usable.
10.0 / 10.0
Just lovely!
We had a terrific stay. The location is ideal as is the pool! Be sure to pay the little bit extra to have it heated- that was the best! The house is very clean and spacious and well decorated. The floor plan is a typical Florida house footprint with smaller bathrooms, but they are very clean and updated. We would rent again!

Lovely home in Venice -nature trail-ferry & private beach
Our family of 5 plus a guest had a wonderful time at this lovely rental home. The pool was wonderful and I would recommend paying the extra for the heater(December). Everything we needed was at the house. we loved that the house came with a pass key to the ferry & private beach! They even had beach umbrellas, towels , toys & everyone’s favorite shark teeth collecting tools! My favorite part was that the neighborhood was a nice quiet area and there was tons of wildlife to see. The nature trail- walking& bike path was perfect and the shamrock nature center was nice to walk to. We have no complaints and hope to stay at this location in the future! Thank you so much!!

The house was quiet, clean, and well stocked.
The pool was refreshing. We saw a bobcat in the backyard, also a big turtle. The pass for the ferry was nice. We went to the private beach 3 times. Well worth going. Our only negative is the master bed, only one person can sleep in it otherwise you both end up in a gully in the middle of the bed.

Quiet family vacation
My family and I visit Venice each year for vacation. This house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking and riding our personal bikes on the Venetian Waterway behind the house to Shamrock Park. The house comes with the South Venice Beach ferry pass which takes you to a private beach. The pool has a fence around it which we appreciated because of our 3 year old. The house also comes with stuff for the beach, including shark tooth sifters. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Venice stay
The house was in a great area in Venice. Close to everything but away from the hectic traffic and noise. They have a private beach which was enjoyable. Never used the pool as it was too cold. Several light bulbs burned out and had a problem with lizards coming into the house. Master bedroom mattress needs replacing as it was very uncomfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots & pans and utensils. TV in the bedroom by the 2 single beds didn't work.

Relaxing stay, above expectations
We arrived after midnight but were able to open the home with a code. Upon entry my husband and I both noticed how clean it was. The house is spacious with 3 bedrooms - more than we needed. The kitchen is large and there is an outdoor grille which we used several times. The pool was clean and there are plastic rafts for the it. There are plenty of beach towels for your use. There were a few glitches that happened during our stay - the dishwasher broke and the Keurig also. The owners were willing to replace them immediately. Communication with the management company was awesome. The house is close to main avenues of travel in Venice.

Relaxing
This home is in the perfect location, close to many beaches, shopping, parks , and great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion I would have is the rooms need some darkening curtains. It would help as far as keeping the home a little cooler and of course it would keep the sun from waking you up so early. Other than that the place was perfect. It had everything we needed.

Hidden Gem
My husband and I are have done the busy resorts and were looking for a quiet but nice place to stay to check out Venice for future winters. This was exactly what we needed and everything was as pictured and more. Convenient and quiet location at the end of a road and backing up to the Venice waterway. Lots of wildlife and great to walk on the trail. It was convenient and we could be in the lovely downtown in 10 minutes. Lots of beaches to explore. Angie and Gary were very easy to deal with and responded quickly. We definitely want to stay again! Thanks!

We loved everything about property; size, location, floor plan.Senior couple who has done all the site seeing years ago, we wanted a nice home with pool, quiet, not in middle of town, large yard and water near (there is a canal behind home and sidewalk, walking trail). Everything you need not to far, grocery, shopping, etc. Would rent again and for longer.

Quiet, Secluded, Peaceful
We had a great stay here. There weather was cooler but that didn't bother us much. Caspersen beach is a short drive around the corner. We searched for shark teeth everyday and enjoyed the beach. Definitely have the pool heated if the weather is going to be on the cool side for Florida. We didn't use it much due to the cold temperature. This property is a great value for its location and the pool.
