We love this house! Very comfortable and open enough for all our family to gather inside and out. It had everything we needed and more. Location was great right on the canal. We truly enjoyed this property and all it had to offer. Thanks to the owners and our host Mindy for a wonderful experience.

Mindy was very easy to work with, the house was clean and in a good location. Would recommend it for anyone looking in the area!

We loved this house. As soon as we walked in we agreed that the house was even better than the pictures. The main living area was very big and comfortable. The back and front yards were perfect for relaxing when we didn't go downtown. We found ourselves relaxing and hanging by the pool, hot tub, or under the Tiki huts more than we expected. Last year the house we rented had almost no outdoor space so really appreciated this property. The two bathrooms were a little small but the bedrooms were a really nice size and had a lot of bureau and closet space. The kitchen was large and very well equipped with everything we needed. And the bar was a really nice extra with a second refrigerator, sink, and glassware. When we return to Key West, this is the first property we will try to reserve. It met or exceeded our expectations and we wish we could have stayed longer than a month.

The location of this home is excellent! Marci’s communication is excellent! The island is unique and fun! The house had all of the amenities one could want and the pool and grounds were well maintained. It is important to note that in the month of January the Sun does not shine on the pool (so it was too cold to swim in) or the back yard so if you love to lay in the sun, you will be heading to a beach (and there are many and they are all awesome).

Venetian Drive is a spacious house in Key West with lots of room for our party of six. There are three comfortable bedrooms, and 2 small bathrooms. The bathrooms made it a little tight for our group. The outside area ( both front and back), although very nice, was uncomfortable to hang out in because the bugs were so bad. The pool is too cold to swim in. It needs a solar cover or a heater to make it enjoyable. The hot tub was popular with our group as long as we bug sprayed the area before going out. Also, the two story home next door is under construction and not pleasant to view from the six windows that are on that side of the house. The 4 bikes are a nice addition. We needed to purchase and replace a tire tube on one of the bikes in order to use it. The kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are a plus if you know how to use them as no instructions were provided. Being on the canal makes it convenient to try, but you don't want to fall into the canal. The water was not particularly clean, plus there was jellyfish while we were there. If you are thinking about booking this property, you should know this property is close to the airport and you hear the planes on a regular basis. It's not a big deal for us, but you should be aware of it. It's not walking distance to Duval St. but it is a nice bike ride. Lyft and Uber are easily available. A note to the owner, it would be helpful to have the address more visible from the street. The house seems new to the VRBO market, and it can use a little more organization throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with many housewares but it is missing some basics, ie. grater, calendar, and serving dishes/bowls. It felt like our arrival was unexpected (although booked months in advance for 6 weeks) based on the condition of the home. There were towel racks in boxes in both bathrooms that were supposed to have been hung. Diving tanks in front of the backyard doors and several other things. When I reached out to the manager, Mindy, her response was rude and unhelpful. She is not local and by her own admission had not been in the home for over a month. She suggested we find alternate accommodations if the home was not up to our standards instead of addressing our concerns. It made it uncomfortable to reach out at all. Bottom line, the house is nice and has a lot of potential, but it still needs some attention, and closer more patient management.

This property was fantastic. Having the pool and hot tub right on the canal was great for watching jelly fish, manatee, crabs and fish swim on by (as well as some good people watching on the boys coming by). The front yard is well designed, and we spent a lot of time here reading, relaxing and using the hibachi for some fun fried rice in the evenings or breakfast in the morning. It’s rare to find a house where you actually use the front yard! The house itself was very clean, open and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the basic necessities were there to make sure vacation started right away! In addition it is easy to get groceries and anything you need delivered right to the front door. The location is great for a long term stay as you have the option of getting a cab/Uber downtown for a fun crazy night out, but it is far enough from Duval that the days you stay in you forget where you are, and can fully relax without the sound of everyone who has been at the bars all day! Mindy was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Internet was great and working from home was no problem. I would warn though if you are going to walk your dog in the area to be careful - I walked mine across the road the first couple of days and the poor thing got paws full of sticky balls. Stick to the sidewalk and short grass at the end of the road! Fantastic stay - can’t wait to return!
