Enjoyed by all. Quiet location near the beach and the city. Loved the feel of being in nature when you step out the back door.

My wife and I spent two wonderful months at the Hibiscus House in the Spring of 2024. Upon arrival, it was immediately evident that this is a special place. So special, in fact, that within a week we had already booked it for another two months the following year. Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing, immaculately clean and well stocked for all of our needs. The beds were comfortable, the afternoon sun on the patio was just right, the screened-in lanai was our daily hang-out spot, and the outdoor shower put this property off the charts for us. The location is fantastic; close to the beach and away from the busy roads of Venice and Englewood, yet near enough to those towns that shopping and entertainment is easily within reach. We drove to the beach, we walked to the beach, we rode our bikes to the beach; it was so easy to get to for a day in the sun and surf or an evening with another fabulous sunset. The landlords were instantly accessible when we needed to contact them, and were particularly friendly when we needed any assistance. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to spend some quality time in the Florida warmth.

We stayed at the Hibiscus House for a month and had a great time. The house was immaculate, roomy and comfortable with an open floor plan and everything you could need. The outdoor space is lovely and the neighborhood is very quiet, yet close to the beach. Mary was very accessible if we had any questions and she and Shaun went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We highly recommend Hibiscus House, and we will be back again next year!

Great location and amenities that were listed in home's description. Some issues that host resolved quickly. I did have to clean a few areas both inside and out, but I am a clean freak, so take that as you will. I have stayed in many vacation rentals, and from my experience, I would have to give this a solid 4/5 stars.

The house was perfection- it was such a joy to stay in there. It is decorated so warmly and the layout, cleanliness and vibe made it such a great experience. The rooms and the house are decorated so beautifully!

This house was perfect for us. Everything was there we needed. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was very nice. Elena was very responsive on every question we had. Thanks again will be back.

Just under a mile walk to beach, house is super clean and smells like a new house. Very satisfied with stay, looking forward to returning.

House beautifully decorated, spacious, very comfortable Kitchen well equipped. All kinds of things for outside including bikes, beach chairs and more were provided. Property was listed as having a lush yard with a Koi Pond. Unfortunately neither was accurate. No pond, and the lawn/yard was very badly kept. Big disappointment.

This is our 2nd time staying in this beautiful clean house and it will not be our last!! It has everything you need for a beach vacation and just a short ride to the beach. Mary is always available and helpful if you need any questions answered! This house does not disappoint!

My husband and I stayed for a week with our three kids, and it was great! Space - lots of space. Very clean. And a big kitchen that supported all the cooking we did. On some days, the kids preferred to stay in the house although the beach was just a 2min drive away (and we kept the huge TV off...).

We loved staying at the hibiscus house. The house was nice and clean and had everything we needed for our family to stay comfortable. The house is near wonderful beaches where it is easy to find shark teeth. We enjoyed using the fire pit one night and enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch each night. We also walked at a preserve and saw gopher tortoises which our kids thought was really cool. I would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful house in a great location, Mary and her husband, excellent hosts, we had a great time with the family, we will surely return!!!

We had such a relaxing stay — the house was lovely and had everything we needed, including bicycles, beach toys and games. We really appreciated the comfortable sitting room, well-equipped kitchen, beautiful decor and how close we were to the beach! We also enjoyed the lovely backyard and sunroom. Mary was so kind and accommodating when we had questions, and we really look forward to staying here again next time we’re in Venice.

This was our second time staying at the Hibiscus House. We love how close it is to Manasota Beach. The house is always clean and easy access to everything! Thank you for making our trip perfect! ☀️ 🌺

The house was so lovely and comfortable. It had so many extras available for use: beach chairs, umbrella, floats, cooler, even stuff to look for shark teeth. Outdoor area was awesome, and we enjoyed looking at all types of wildlife. Beach is a super close drive with plenty of parking. Beds and furniture are clean and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again

My family and I had an amazing time on this trip! The house was very spacious and super comfortable. It had everything we needed during our stay. So convenient to all of the beautiful beaches in the area. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

The host was wonderful! We loved the jar for shark teeth and almost filled it up! The beach is so close and beautiful! The master bed was too hard for my liking so I slept in the full bed. The location was amazing and really had a great time! Thank you for sharing your home and for being so kind to us!

Location, Location, Location! Great house near the beach. Clean and comfortable. Owner was very responsive to all questions. Booking was seamless. Can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful clean home on a nice quite street. This house had everything we needed. No problems when we arrived and the owners were amazing at responding to any questions we had. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen. The back screened in porch was nice for enjoying our morning coffee. The beach was a two minute drive away with plenty of parking. The owners provided everthing we needed to enjoy a day at the beach. The beach had beautiful shells, and the ocean was nice and calm. Resturants and shopping were only a few minutes away. I highly recommend staying in this home!

Manasota Key was the perfect location for our all adult family getaway and Hibiscus House was the perfect rental. The home was lovely and comfortable. Mary had left lots of great recommendations for places to see, restaurants to try and things to do. Additionally she was very responsive and helpful in our search for local wildlife. The beach which is five minutes away is spectacular. We spent so much time in the water and walking the gorgeous beaches in the area. Mary and Shawn have thoughtfully provided all the beach equipment needed for a day in the sun. We can't wait to go back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hibiscus House! Everything about the house was clean and organized. We were grateful that everything we needed to cook with was provided. Since we flew, it was important to us that we have beach items so we didn't have to purchase them when arriving and then leave them. There was everything from sand toys to a beach umbrella to shark tooth tools to search the beach with. My daughter and husband LOVED finding shark teeth all day long. With the beach only a 2 minute drive, we didn't have to pack for a day long trip. We left and came back a few different days and parking was always available. We are hoping to return in the future!

My husband and I spent the month of March here. The house was lovely, even better than the pictures show. A great place to rest and soak up the abundant Florida sunshine.

Hibiscus House was just as advertised in the description and pictures. The great location made it easy to try many beaches along the coast , the closest only 3 minutes away.

We came down for a three day stay. Clean home, nice quiet neighborhood, close to the beaches we wanted to visit. Mary was most helpful, hope to return one day.

We took our family of 6 on a Florida vacation, and this was the PERFECT place to stay! Just minutes away from the beach (we even walked a few times). Our favorite beach is Manasota Beach, so this was perfect! The property was immaculate - the rooms were very cozy and very well decorated. The house had everything we could need from anything inside, to any beach stuff to bring down to the beach. Mary and Shaun were great hosts - very attentive to any needs that arised or any questions that we had! The backyard space was so cozy for a nighttime fire, and during the day was a perfect spot to sit and soak up some sun while looking at beautiful trees and plants! We will definitely be staying here again in the future. We enjoyed our stay so very much!!!

Shaun and Mary were very attentive and replied quickly to our questions. Great area. Minutes to Manasota Key.

My husband and I spent a week here and I couldn't have booked a nicer place. The house had everything we needed and more. Everything was clean and well equipped. The garage was an added bonus. We enjoyed visiting with friends in the private back yard and loved the serenity of the property. If you're looking for a home that seems rural yet so close to everything this is your place! I can't say enough about the home owners, Mary went above and beyond our expectations to make sure we had everything to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area! Thank you Mary! The Farrs

The place is beautiful! The layout was perfect for our family of 5. Our young boys loved the bunk beds and our teen appreciated her own room. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay.

We really liked this house! The Aveda was a nice touch. TY!

The home was just perfect. The property owner checked in to ensure things were good upon arrival. Home had everything needed for the weekend. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. Would rent this home again for sure.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hibiscus House. Very clean and accommodated our needs quite well. The owner was easy to keep in contact with from booking through to checkout. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of bath towels were provided. The nice big garage for parking really helped during the afternoon rains. The outside areas are beautiful, if only it wasn't so hot we would have sat out back more. Such a comfortable home, we hope to rent again!
