This was an excellent house in an exquisite neighborhood. The location is a boater's and fisherman's dream with both access to the Atlantic and the Gulf. I could sit here and write a book about all the pros because in reality I couldn't find any cons. The owner Joe was a bonus. He was always reachable and responsive he made sure that all our concerns and requests were immediately taken care of. We had an excellent, peaceful and relaxing time. Can't wait to come back. Thanks Joe, see you next year, maybe even sooner.

This property's obvious allure is it's backyard. The pool with waterfall and lights at night are awesome. The backyard gets full day sun and you can watch the sunset right from the dock. We had manatees hang out at the dock for hours one day. There are a ton of Lobsters under the dock and the canals in Venetian shores are 50ft+ deep! We did see a shark or two in the canals while we were there, so lots of fish and wildlife activity present. It is a pretty home, the stairwell layout is a lot of up & down, but there is an elevator if you need it. The neighbor to the west is not good, but the neighbor to the east more than makes up for it. He is awesome. Very friendly, helpful, considerate and has been in the keys there for 30+ years. He is a snowbird like me, and so a lot of the decisions of why I wanted to rent in the keys for a long period he had answers to. He gave us some great spots, minutes from this property to go check out, by boat, and they were spectacular. I was a bit apprehensive about bringing my boat down, 35' center console and leaving it in the water the whole time and not having a lift, but the canal is extremely calm, even on the windiest days. That I attribute to the extremely deep water, great design. I bet I could've skipped even using my bumpers it was that calm. Plenty of room, electric & water are right there, as well as a wonderful fish cleaning station. I would definitely recommend this property and Joe is awesome to work with. I'm from MN, so I had the master bedroom A/C on 69 and about two weeks into our stay it stopped one day and Joe had someone out there within hours and had it resolved. He is very easy to reach and very courteous.
