Owner is very quick to respond. The house is comfortable and pleasant. Beaches are not far.

I can’t say enough good things about this property, but the backyard pool area… Amazing! Just like the pictures y’all, and more. The pool itself is breathtaking. So much attention to detail, like the stingrays at the bottom of the pool, the little star fish on the swim up bar stools, and the hot tub thats spilling over into the pool…and the lights at night,… beautiful! Then there’s the landscape beyond the pool! Make sure you don’t miss that. The first morning we got our coffee and wondered around the yard admiring all the beautiful flowers and tress. In the very back, handing in a tree is a huge Staghorn fern, I’ve never seen one so big! Also beautiful Plumeria tress and hibiscus. I could go on and on, but I’ll move to the inside. So cute, artsy and fun! I loved the fun colorful decor. This home has lots of personality that fit ours perfectly. Beds were comfy and it was easy to check in. This home is in a good neighborhood as well. We even meet one of the neighbors, who was very nice. We enjoyed our stay, we would definitely recommend this home and would book it again in a heartbeat!

Everything was as advertised. Beautiful home! So much to do in the Venice area. Would have loved to stay longer!

Couldn’t ask for a better stay. You don’t even have to leave the backyard! Margo was very helpful with all questions we had also. Close to everything. If the city votes the Ferry can be used by guests again, this is a 6 star.

We loved our stay at this home and especially enjoyed the pool and spa. The lush tropical backyard pool allowed us to spend quality fun time together. We grilled one night and ate outside. We did have a glitch with the spa and the host was very responsive and had a technician come and fix it promptly. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean and everything worked out wonderfully well for us! It truly is 5 o’clock somewhere!!!

Loved loved this place. Margo was so sweet when we had an issue. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the layout of the home and the way it opened up to the Florida room made it feel very spacious. The real gem to this property is the backyard. In addition to the awesome pool and spa, we used the covered grilling and bar area a lot. The back yard was huge, landscaped beautifully and was very private. We loved staying here and would highly recommend it.

This house was perfect for our week long stay for my daughters equestrian competition at Fox Lea Farms. The house was very clean, the backyard and pool area is beautiful but we were unable to use them due to our schedule and the weather. I would definitely stay here again.

We went for Christmas Break and everything was perfect. They even supplied a Christmas tree for us to put up. They had ample kitchen utensils and pans to make whatever you wanted. Great location!

We enjoyed our stay at Margo‘s Home very much. Especially the wonderful garden with the great Pool.

Very nice and quiet neighborhood and a beautiful home for 2 couples.

2nd time we've stayed here, trying to convince my Husband to go with me next year. Could go here and stay the entire time in the backyard at the pool. Backyard, all the add-on's, 2 full bathrooms, located not far from the main road and interstate, enough stuff to do close by/in the area. Easy to connect with owner, love that it's an individual owner and not some corporation managing it. Very pleased

Great location, very quiet and peaceful just what we needed after visiting the parks for two weeks. House is lovely with some fantastic pieces of art/artwork in all of the rooms. The best part of the house was the outside area, the pool and the seating area has been well thought out and we spent many happy hours there. Thank you for a great stay.

The house was very nice and clean. The pool and back yard was beautiful. Communication with Margo was very good, she responded quickly to any messages sent. We enjoyed our time there very much.

I have been to this property before when a friend was staying and I loved it so I had to book it for my vacay!

Our 3rd visit was wonderful. I really love this house and location. Venice is probably my favorite place to visit. Love the beach by Sharky's Pier. This house has so many spices, pans, cups and TOWELS! We are so thankful for the conveniences. Sadly I think that we have outgrown this space as we need more options for beds since the Florida Room with futons isn't temperature controlled. With the heatwave (outside of the owners control) the AC couldn't quite keep up which we did not enjoy but by midnight the temperature was decent enough for sleep. I would suggest some darkening blinds for these instances as well as for regulating the temperature in general but it never impacted us in previous stays, also in summer.

We stayed at this property all week. It was perfect. I would definitely stay again if traveling to this area in the future.

The outdoor pool area is amazing. Very private and relaxing.

We loved how close it was to so many beaches! The pool was amazing and the backyard was beautiful. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed! We would stay again. Thank you!

The home was beautiful, the pool and yard was much more than we ever anticipated. It was beautiful and well kept. We very much enjoyed our stay. It was great to have 3 bathrooms, one on each end of tbe house. Thank you for a great stay.

Felt like home! The was wonderful, the pool and the decor!

Pool got filled with leaves really fast. Yard and other things need attention.

What a great property! Nice layout of the house, comfy and beautiful. The backyard is truly as beautiful, if not more, than the pictures in the listing. I would absolutely stay here again! You will fall in love with the backyard for sure!

Great time.

House and owner met all needs with home and altitude. Only negative thoughts were with intensity of the Red Tide presence this year which owner has no control over.

The backyard was paradise! Loved the speakers all over the property too! Very cute house with many things to look at! Lots of beach equipment! We had a wonderful time!

Paradise sum’s it up. Beautiful home and property. The landscaping is awesome and the decor is true to the name. We had a great time with our family and would recommend it to anyone Special thanks to Margo and her team.

Our stay was absolutely phenomenal! The outdoors was like a little paradise. There were palm trees and various fruit trees. Very private area. We spent so much time in the beautiful pool just relaxing. The inside of the house was clean and very comfortable. Hoping to schedule some more time real soon.

You feel like you’re in paradise while sitting by the pool! The landscaping is the best I have seen in Florida. The pool was always just the right temperature. We turned on some country music in the sunroom and there are speakers outside all around the pool. That was a nice touch. The house is quiet for sleeping. The inside of the house was nicely updated and I love the two sets of French doors that open up to the sunroom. The garage has floats for the pool and bikes for an evening ride. This is my go to place in Florida from now on! Also it is very conveniently located to everything. Thanks Margo!

We enjoyed our stay second time that we booked it

The location is ideal for biking on Venetian waterway to many beautiful beaches and historic Venice. The yard is a tropical paradise. This would have been the perfect place for my one month April vacation. BUT…When we arrived, we discovered Margo had not remembered to send our entry code and house rules. Luckily, after our long drive, tired at 6pm, and standing at the front door, we called and she answered. Also disappointing was, prior to our arrival, the yard had not been cleaned up, and it appeared for the entire winter. Piles of dead leaves surrounded house perimeter within the gardens. The yard was mowed recently though. The second week, I asked the yard service, who told me they do only the front yard weekly, to mow the back and take down dead palm branches over the pool. I told him I had already blown dead leaves and raked yard to help keep out of pool. I visited the ferry the second day. I was told by the captain about new rules and no renters allowed. I related immediately to Margo who forgot to renew the ferry pass prior to my arrival. The previous 3 month renters did not use it, so she said overlooked the annual renewal. The pass key left there was outdated. I communicated the ferry was important to me. I tired to work something out for access. I was on hold for for 2 weeks as she said it might come in the mail. I was unable to use the ferry the entire month. This was a big disappointment. I also let Margo know the Lanai I was very dusty and had cobwebs on the ceiling. She did not offer to have it cleaned. I took down the biggest cobwebs with broom and killed a spider. All my issues were communicated to her but not all resolved. After my departure, the house was not inspected for 4 days which left me in a vulnerable position had someone entered the property. The extra $400 security deposit for my dog was a big concern. I had left the yard and house in pristine condition. I treated the property like my own, which I keep very well manicured and very clean. Renters should take note that the pool is not screened and with all the trees you need to be willing to change filters and skim it almost daily. Margo is easy to contact, but did not have a means to correct these issues important to me.

Was very clean. The backyard and pool area was amazing. We spent a few days not leaving the house and enjoying the back area.
