Thank you so much for the wonderful time at your beach retreat! This home was perfect for our Venice vacation! The house was super clean, fully stocked with any housewares you could need, great communication with the host, and safe and quiet neighborhood. One of the best perks was the location, being able to stay right on the island was very convenient. So close to the beach, shopping, downtown Venice, it was amazing! Highly recommend this property and host for anyone visiting Venice, we had the best vacation ever and already looking forward to our next visit!

Beautiful house in a cute neighborhood with an easy walk to the beach. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms are newly remodeled. The hostess is kind and responsive. The Venice Mercantile market is across the street and provides a fun antiquing and artist's market. Downtown Venice is a quick drive up the street. Venice is a gem on the Gulf coast and I will definitely stay here again.
