We stayed in this property in early April and were delighted with all aspects of the vacation. The property is beautifully appointed and located close to beaches and other amenities. Wonderful!

Love the home and pool within 4 miles of Manasota Beach and Blind Pass.

The house worked perfectly for us. Overall a very nice property. The pool area was dirty because screens were out from storm damage. No big deal we just washed down the padio and used the net to clean the pool. I paid for the heated pool and it wasn't working when we arrived. They got it working the next day but it took a day to catch up so we lost 2 days. Didn't ask for a refund. The one toilet had the back apart and the float valve stuck when you flushed it so I fixed it. Again no big deal. The reason I say be aware to document. We found stained towels and wash cloths. We went out and bought bleach and cleaned them the best we could so we could use them. Again no big deal. The problem was getting nit picked on little things we have no idea what they are talking about. Stained cups? Torn hand towel? Stains on counters? Whatever, I want to leave it like I got it, but when you get nit pick charges after you have them grace on the things it just doesn't sit well. I should have been messaging with every issue but I didn't I just handled it. They have a mistrust probably because of bad renters so cover yourself and document everything you find or you may get blamed for it.

Owner accused us of having a dog on the property based on them finding a bone in one of the couches that we never even sat on. Traveled there for my nieces wedding with my wife, adult children, and with my parents. Owner kept my deposit and never responded to the fact that i assured him there were no dogs. His neighbors watch everything as I had some of my family over for a couple hours and was immediately called. Funny the neighbors were watching everything however; i don't recall him mentioning a dog when he called to complain that i had a few family members over. We are all adults and left the house as we found it. Which included some lights and switches that didn't work however i didn't complain as it was not a big deal. You may want to check out the house when you arrive and make them aware of everything that is wrong. Double check the couch cushions to make sure the people before didn't leave anything that he can charge you for.

If you like sleeping on hard beds, this is the house for you. We had to purchase a mattress topper to be able to sleep without pain. The dishes, silverware and glasses in kitchen all needed washed before we could use them. Other than that, the house was beautiful and Manasota beach is only 1.3 miles away. The pool was fantastic other than the solar cover that was rolled up outside of the pool was constantly shedding blue plastic bubbles into the pool. I would stay here again if the bed in the two master suites were better.

PROPERTY IS NICE, HOWEVER THE POOL WAS DIRTY AND NOT ABLE TO REALLY SWIM, POOL COMPANY OUT 3 TIMES DURING WEEK, BUT STILL CLOUDY AND STUFF FLOATING IN WATER, VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS TIME.

House was nice and clean but definitely needs some updates. Beds are horrible to sleep on and was left with one trash bag and one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. With seven people for seven days that will not do. Overall it was not a bad place to stay. The best part was being a couple miles from the beach.

Just what we were looking for. This comfortable, large home was great for our family. Three generations celebrated our first vacation in three years. The pool was enjoyed by all and there was ample space for everyone to have their own space. Less than 3 mi. to the beach, stores and restraunts.

We had a great other than having a dirty place, having to buy our own towels because the towels smelled horrible. Only 2 beach towels. Beach chairs were old. Floor was sticky and turned feet black. Pillows were flat and stained. Had to buy laundry soap also to wash the linens they ask you to wash. Tried to address this after with owner and all he gave was excuses instead of taking responsibility and saying we will try to make some changes and updates for the next guests. Place could be great if a couple updates were addressed.

I was surprised by the great location of the property. I was not familiar with the Venice area and to have Manasota Beach 2 miles down the road was awesome. Not to mention Manasota Keys, Englewood Beach and Boca Grande. And all the beaches in between that we never got to. I work in a very tourist town 10 months out of the year so my family and I really needed this. The quiet was essential for me. Thanks so much!

Will definitely rent again, when a problem occurred the owner was easy to contact and was taken care of immediately.

Stephen the host was absolutely wonderful to deal with. He answered all my questions when I needed answers. The house was full of amenities and we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and very comfortable home.

Everything went smooth and was very good. Communication with owner was alway easy and quick. One question would be on the cleaning crew as to how often they clean the floor because without socks or slippers our feet were black.

My family stayed at this house , just had a fantastic experience, House was very nice and had everything we needed ,pool was awesome, will definitely try to stay again on our next trip to Venice, Owner was very responsive to our questions.

Everything you need, close to beaches and comfortable place to stay!

House was very comfortable, neighborhood was quiet and friendly and close to restaurants, pharmacies and a short drive to the beaches.

Steven,Susan and I enjoyed staying at your home in Englewood. It was very close to walking, biking & Manasota Beech. Per our discussion I feel the property would have been cleaner and some of the issues taken care of had you been able to travel and come to the property yourself. Thank You for sharing your home with us. We actually found a property (Condo) for ourselves while we were in Englewood and were able to close on the property prior to us leaving Florida. We left and spent the last 4 nights in our new property. Thanks again for sharing your property with us.

We originally booked this vacation for spring break 2020 but due to COVID lockdown we had to reschedule it for Thanksgiving. Steve was great to work with and accommodated our date changes . The house was great, it was clean and neat and equipped with everything you need. The pool heater was broken so we had to wait 3 days until it was fixed but Steve took care of it and it was not a big deal. We look forward to spending more time in Venice and recommend this property to everyone.

Overall good place to stay with family and friends.

We had a wonderful vacation. The property was great and the set up matched our expectations. Great location like 4 min drive to the beach. We will come back real soon

only minus was trash left by previous tenant that we acknowledge day before departure that drew knats,also we left our trash in cans outside and left previous trash out with note in it since it had knats all over,didn't want new people to walk into knats. We loved the spacious home and the pool needed a smidge more cleaning,location great and nice back yard

We all enjoyed our stay. Great house with plenty of room. Very short drive to the beach and plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Close to preserve which was a great place for morning walks. Great communication with owner throughout the booking process and during our stay. I would recommend!

The home was very comfortable. Pool was amazing Enjoyed listening to the birds and watching the squirrels.

Beautiful well kept house with plenty of amenities and good sized pool. Would like to stay again!

All was good and expected except for issue with pool heating which was quickly and efficiently resolved by owner through prompt response to comms. Recommended.

Second year there. House is in "move-in" condition. Owner has thought of everything a family would need to settle in quickly for a week. Nicely furnished and comfortable, with a great pool. Many Florida pools are small but this one is perfect. Couldn't do much better than this house.

The property was more beautiful in person than the photos! My family was pleasantly surprised at the spacious home. It was perfect for our time together. It was fully furnished with everything, even a hairdryer! It was less than 2 miles to Manasota Beach and close to everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the beautiful pool, complete with floating rafts and lounge chairs. The backyard was very peaceful and private. We would definitely recommend this property!

My family of four had a very nice time in this lovely pool home in South Venice. It is about five minutes to the nearest beach and very close to the grocery stores and restaurants. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen that I have ever been in a rental home before. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been a Keurig instead of a regular coffee pot. The home was clean and spacious inside. The owner was very responsive to getting back to me with any concerns. There are a couple of minor items that are in need of refreshing such as pillows on the beds and sheets in the master. We will definitely consider this home for future rentals.

We stayed in this home during the month of March, 2019. It is a lovely home and very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, silverware, pots and pans. The owner was quick to get back to us about any questions we had.
