About this house rental
Come experience Old Florida in our circa 1957 Mid-Century Modern home! It boasts open living areas with the bedrooms on one wing of the house. A glassed in lanai stretches across the entire back of the house. The floors are original terrazzo. There are many vintage furnishings throughout the house.
You will enjoy the large kitchen with original working cooktop and oven. It is well stocked and very pink!
Flamingo House has two bedrooms. The master has a king sized bed, and the second bedroom has a queen. Between the bedrooms you will find a beautiful vintage tiled bathroom that has been recently updated. We also have a laundry room/half bath combo, and we recently installed an outdoor shower!
There is a full sized sleeper in the living room as well as a roll away bed. The sofa on the lanai is quite comfy as well! You will find the laundry and half bath off the kitchen. In the mudroom you will find plenty of chairs and toys for the beach. We even have a sifter for all the sharks teeth you will find at the beach!
There are many public beaches close by. Manasota Beach is about 3 miles south of us. It has bathroom facilities and public parking. Blind Pass Beach, 8 miles south of us, is a state park with free parking, bathhouse facilities, and wide beaches. There are several excellent public beaches on Venice Island, including a dog beach.

This was our second time staying at the Flamingo House. This time we stayed for 3.5 weeks and love the property. The neighborhood is quiet, everyone around is nice, and the owner is great! Everything is close by and easy to get to, the house is fully furnished with everything you could think of including beach stuff. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Venice, thanks for a great few weeks!

Great little property. Love the vintage vibe. Close to everything. Equipped with everything you need for an extended stay. Mitzi communicated quickly and resolved small faucet issue swiftly. Beds were comfy. Great little fenced in area for the pupper. Nice neighborhood. Street is a little busy at times but no problems. Highly recommend.

Spacious home with retro character! Mitzi has thought of everything her guests might need & gave us great suggestions for restaurants & activities! Everyone we met (several neighbors,sales clerks,even the cashier @ carwash) was friendly! Being bird watchers, we loved the Audubon rookery,which is nearby & all the egrets & storks that frequent the neighborhood!We hope to return.

Location was perfect. Close to amenities. Short drive to public beach parking. Outside shower to clean off before going inside. The home is like stepping back in time. We enjoyed everything about it.
Thank you

The house was very clean and maintained very well. It appeared to have original working appliances (stove and oven) and a very unique decor. The house was more than spacious for our family of 5.

Florida paradise
My husband and I really enjoyed this rental, so much so we are renting for 3 months next year. Number one for me was the beach and beach ferry! My husband loved the surrounding golf courses. I also really enjoyed the Shamrock biking path on the Venetian waterway. The rental exceeded our expectations!

Great home so much fun
We enjoyed the Flamingo house we stayedinit for 30 days. Mitzi is so nice and kind. The house is located in a great neighborhood near amazing beaches and great restaurants. The house had beach chairs umbrellas and bikes so we could use on our stay. They have a ferry pass so we could go in for a ride. And the shower out side is a great idea so we could wash our self and the kids so we didn't get sand in the house.
I would recommend this place.

Great little house!
We stayed for a long weekend with a friend and everyone loved the property! The owner communicated directly and helped us with restaurant selections. The house has everything you need including beach stuff. Checking was a breeze as well as checkout. The house was clean, tidy and had a great old time Florida feel! It was close to the main road and the neighborhood is quiet and quaint. We get to Venice often and will definitely stay again! Thanks for the nice place!

The house is much nicer than the pics! It is furnished and decorated in mid century, Old Florida. I absolutely loved this home! Having washer and dryer very convenient! Outdoor shower was much needed!! Location was great- we used the neighborhood ferry to go to the beach. Even though there was red tide during our stay, this beach is just beautiful and not crowded at all! Perfect for anyone who doesn’t care for crowded beaches:) We also went to Caspersen Beach and found a few small sharks teeth- that was a great day at the beach as well! Overall a great stay!

Quintessential Retro Florida House
The house was very well kept and had everything we needed. It's a comfortable home with the perfect ratio of midcentury modern decor to Florida cliche.

Excellent property, excellent owner!
This is a great house, very clean, with very cool retro decor in a great location. Rooms are spacious and the house is well-stocked with towels, linens, cookware, etc. In addition, Mitzi was very accommodating with a special request we had, which was very much appreciated!! Highly recommended!

Family vacation
The home is in a nice neighborhood. Close to several of the best beaches. Manasota Key and Blind Pass were absolutely beautiful and within 15 minutes of the home. The Venice pier was about 10 mins away along with Casperson Beach and the restaurants Fins and Shark's on the pier. The house was decorated so uniquely. The outside shower was a huge plus. The only thing I can say is the plumbing in the house needs some work and Mitzi already has a plumber looking into that.

Clean, retro, as advertised
A nice home as per the listing in a neighborhood that is in transition, with some original houses and some renovated and new houses.

Spring Break in the Flamingo House
What a great place to stay! Fun with the decorations and retro look. Very clean and easy to use. Plenty of towels, good kitchen supplies and plenty of space to spread out. It was great to have beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, etc to use, saving us having to bring them along. Very quiet neighborhood and a short drive to multiple beaches. Highly recommend it!

Girls weekend
We all had such a great time in Florida for our girls weekend! We loved having a kitchen and laundry room! There was everything we needed for the beach and more. The pass to use to take the ferry to a private beach was so perfect! The retro decor was so fun too! Definitely recommend staying here! We also got so much info for things to do around the area!!

Adorable old Florida mid-century home
We loved this house; it was like a time capsule of mid-century Florida living. The ferry to the beach was great and easy to use--and the beach itself was nice and not super crowded in season. The neighborhood is older and quiet. There is an awesome outdoor shower and two adult and one kid sized bikes, beach equipment, a grill. It's very well stocked and there's plenty of room. Super clean too.

Perfect for our needs!
501 Flamingo was just as we expected, and perfect for our needs; the price is appropriate for the accommodations. We needed a place to stay that was close to family in Englewood. This place was just right, comfortable and clean. We did not end up using the ferry pass to the beach, but it was nice to know we had that if needed, and not too far away. Mitzi was very welcoming and prompt with communication. We would definitely rent this home again! Thank you!

Quick access to Venice attractions
The property is a step back into 1950s Florida; we especially liked the range top with push-button temperature selection. We haven't seen one like that in 40 years. It was very clean and comes with a few bicycles, although we brought our own bikes. There is even a bicycle pump provided. There are plenty of excellent seafood restaurants 10-15 minutes away; the beach areas are about the same distance. We have two small dogs who enjoyed the house and Brohard Paw Park on the beach. Every day there were 30-50 dogs running around that beach, having a great time. The only concern we had was Flamingo Road--in front of the house. Some people travel far too fast down that narrow roadway, which can be a bit hazardous for dog walking and biking. That's not the owner's fault; some people just lack common sense in the way they drive. We found it better to transport our dogs to other locations for their daily exercise.

Perfect Florida getaway!
We went for the weekend to do some shark teeth hunting and really enjoyed our stay. The house was super clean and comfortable and it a great location to visit all the surrounding beaches and activities. The neighborhood was clean and quiet and we felt very safe and relaxed. Mitzi provided everything we needed as well to help us enjoy the weekend. And I LOVE the flamingo wall paper in the bathroom - so cute!! Great house - I would recommend staying here and would do so again. Thanks Mitzi!!

We will be returning
Before arriving to the Flamingo house, Mitzi was in contact to send information about the house and check in process as well as to answer any questions we might have prior to arrival. Upon arrival, the check in process was easy. The house was super cute, comfortable and clean!!! The house is in a nice neighborhood and has a yard, so we felt comfortable letting the kids run around and play in the yard. We brought towels and chairs and umbrellas with us but as it turns out, Mitzi already has the house stocked full of all those things for the beach. Any time we had a question, I was able to message Mitzi and get a prompt response. She was extremely helpful! We were so thrilled with everything, we booked an extra night. We are already planning our next trip to the Flamingo house. If you book your stay here are the Flamingo house, you won’t be disappointed!!
