Everything was in order and very nice. We enjoyed our boat at the dock and swimming in the evening. We only live 45 minutes south but we have a condo so this was very special.

Overall, the place was great. Quick ride to publix and the beaches and downtown Venice. The neighborhood was nice, quiet and safe. The pool was great to jump in after a long day at the beach, and the backyard a beautiful view to start the day. The backyard needed to be weeded and the back porch swept out, but overall, a clean place. Owners responded right away to any questions I might have had.

The two bedroom is home situated near the end of a cul-de-sac. There is a very nice screened in area with a table and chairs, making the room comfortable for sheltered outdoor dining. The screened in area opens on to an open deck with a rather large well-kept pool. Despite the oppressive Florida heat and humidity, the house was cool and comfortable. Walking in the evenings, the neighborhood was very quiet and safe. The old downtown (i.e., boutique) part of Venice is about a seven minute drive. We enjoyed the Saturday morning farmer’s market, which, in the off-season, was modest and uncrowded. We bought some wonderful fresh challa, and even some gluten free bread. We did delivery pizza dinner from Made in Italy. All very good, but family members were especially pleased with the gluten free crust pizza. Also scope out the oil and vinegar place. Given the opportunity, we will be back.

Perfect location for a short drive to the beach and jetty. Great canal for fishing and the pool was perfect.
