Very comfortable efficient property. Everything was carefully thought of, much appreciated. I recommend and would definitely return. Thank you

This is an amazingly large property that is perfect in every way! Lots of welcoming touches, and a detailed information guide booklet! Conveniently located between Venice Beach, Caspersan and Manasota Beaches. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Ruth and Dan made everything perfect for our extended weekend

We certainly enjoyed our month stay in the Villa Grande home. Friendly, safe neighborhood near all attractions the area has to offer. Comfortable beds, large fenced area for our Scotty puppy to roam free. The owners/managers were terrific to work with during booking and our stay. We definitely would consider staying here again. Five Stars on this one!

Great place to relax, great fence in back yard for dog to run

Very cute house! Near a busy area, but the neighborhood is very quiet and nice. I loved the large fenced in yard and so did my dogs! Ruth makes herself easily available, if you had any issues. Very convenient to anywhere you need to go in the area. Had a wonderful time! Thanks

This was such a great property for my family to stay in. It was in a wonderful location, quick access to many places. We felt safe and comfortable. Communication was great and the house was as described. Would highly recommend staying here if you're in the area!

We rented Ruth's house for 9 nights as an intern place to stay as we waited to close on our home during a cross-country move from Wisconsin to Florida. Not only was the house clean and welcoming it also was the perfect place for our dogs. We loved (and miss) the large, fenced backyard. Ruth was great about communicating and quick to assist when we needed to add days to our rental after already checking in. She was wonderful about responding to emails and quickly answered all questions we had. The house has a garage which was a lifesaver for us and the proximity to several gulf coast beaches was great. We loved exploring the local parks and beaches as well as being able to walk our dogs through the neighborhood each morning. This home was close to several groceries as well as shopping and recreation. I highly recommend Ruth's house and would stay again.

Great house and location in Venice Stayed in this house while I was waiting for my condo to close and had a terrific experience with the owner Ruth, she was always available to help and answer any questions I had. I had two cats with me and the house was extremely pet friendly. The location is terrific right off of 41 but far enough that you couldn’t hear any road noise but could easily get to things. Would definitely recommend short or long term rent

Loved everything! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Home was very spacious, well maintained and had everything you need to make it a great stay. It was made even better by the fact that larger dogs were allowed and has a huge yard for them to enjoy. Thank you for a nice stay in your lovely home.

We really enjoyed staying at the Villa Grande in Venice. We needed a place to stay that would accommodate our dogs. The fenced in back yard was great. The house itself was perfect for our stay. It was clean and well kept. It is in perfect location to get to anywhere in the Sarasota/Venice area. Ruth was great. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Our service dog, loved the fenced in yard, and the bag of dog treats that were left with the snacks on the kitchen counter, made all of us feel at home. It had more than enough space, and were lucky enough to find a place that offered us the rest and relation we needed. Manasota beach was a few minutes away, as were many restaurants. We will definitely book again. It was our first VRBO, and this stay has made us realize how uncomfortable hotels have become.

Very Nice Home.We loved it

Villa Grande met all my expectations. The property, location and amenities were exactly how the listing had described it. I had my two dogs with me so the large fenced in backyard was great. Plenty of room to run and play and, the fencing was in excellent shape so I did not have to worry about the dogs getting creative and finding a way to explore the neighborhood. I brought my cloths, some personal items and dog food, that's it. Everything else is provided for you including beach towels and chairs, bikes, a grill on backyard patio and a washer and dryer. I could not have been happier with the level of customer service. Ruth responded quickly to all my emails and questions. If there was something I asked that she did not know, which was rare, she researched it and got back to me, usually the same day. We were ten minutes from Brohard Paw Park, a fantastic off leash beach for dogs, and the same distance to the public beach. There were plenty of activities and restaurants to choose from. I absolutely will add Villa Grande to my list of places to re-visit and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it, especially if you are traveling with dogs. Thanks again Ruth, the dogs and I had a great time. It was just what the doctor ordered.

The house was very clean and well equippoed with everything we needed

Very clean and comfortable home near the Brohard Paw Park and convenient to shopping and restaurants. Our puppies enjoyed the large, very private yard and the residential neighborhood was a good place to walk them.

We were house hunting in the Venice area. Accommodations were in good condition with several nice touches, snacks, spa robes, etc. right off 41, location was ideal for our purposes.

Thank you Ruth! We loved staying in Venice! The home was fabulous!

Spacious rooms nicely furnished, big yard with lots of shade. Recommended for families looking to explore Venice and surrounding areas.

Good location, very nice host. We were very happy here.

Such a great house with amenities that really made our stay very comfortable! Our dogs loved the huge fenced yard. We will definitely be staying here again!

The home was beautiful and very clean! There was a very warm welcoming basket and a notebook filled with very helpful information. We loved the fenced in back yard for our two small dogs. The ferry passes were great and all of the beach items were very useful. Also, they accommodated a very late request to book the home. Outstanding customer service! We plan to return as soon as possible.

Great extra care was taken to anticipate everything. We were very impressed and wanted to stay longer.

I stayed in Venice Fl for a week on vacation, and it was amazing. Ruth was so helpful with directions to places. She had a list of great places to eat around. The house was so nice, I'd recommend to anyone going on vacation to rent a house, so much more relaxing and homey than a hotel. The private beach was quiet and nice. For anyone who has a dog I'd definitely recommend the doggie parks so much fun. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation I'd say Venice is the place to be.
