About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Calling all Snowbirds

Send inquiry for monthly rates.
Venus has so many repeat guests each summer they wish they had never shared the secret of Venus by the Sea.

The living room has a sofa sleeper, so this is perfect for the parents and two small children. Your patio has a beautiful view of the pool courtyard and your walk to the beach is about 150 yards away. This unit DOES NOT have a beach view. It has a fully equipped kitchen and linens provided. If you like to be away from the crowds this is the place for you. It is on the gulf side of the beach. There are restaurants and shops within 2-5 miles but the beach is not as crowded as Destin. NO PETS, NO SMOKING OF ANYKIND IN UNIT & PLEASE DON'T LEAVE EXCESSIVE MESS. I now self manage and have received all 5 star reviews. Also I have a 5 star rating on the other platform.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Fantastic Stay, and short beach walk!

My wife and I stayed here for just a few days to getaway. And we had a wonderful time! Property was lovely, and so close to the beach! Donna was awesome! And so responsive! Only thing I would say, make sure to remember to put a parking pass on your dash, so you don’t get. Warning!!

We had an amazing time during our stay. The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. Donna was so easy to contact if we had questions. She even texted to check on us our first night. The neighborhood had everything close by including grocery and discount stores. We definitely plan to return.

Nice older condo steps from the beach

Older condo, fine for 2 nights for 2 adults and a teenager, but the mattress on the fold out couch badly needs replacing, my daughter slept on the couch itself instead. Condo needs a bit of updating, but was worth the rate we paid for it. Walk to the beach was easy and there is a shower and hose on the backside of the condo to wash off when you return. Pool areas was nice and it was a lot less crowded than Mirimar Beach where we usually stay.

Great value and experience

We stayed 8 nights at the Venus condos unit 207. It was very nice and clean. The carpet and furniture was in new condition and very comfortable. The bedroom was very clean and inviting as well with nice decor. The unit was very roomy and felt like home. The kitchen had everything you would want and the balcony overlooked the pool. I was also surprised how with how close of a walk the beach was. We were very happy with the property and would recommend to anyone. Donna was great to work with and quick to reply by text.

Property 207

We had a great stay at this property. Donna was friendly and provided us with valuable information about the area. The property was clean and had everything you needed. I was pleased that the owner game us a heads up about bringing extra toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags to eliminate the need for purchasing those upon arrival. The beach was easily accessible and not very crowded. My only wish was that the water pressure in the shower was stronger. I have long hair and it makes it a bit of a challenge to get the soap out. I would definitely stay here again. It was a pleasant experience!
