3/4 block from rte 41 a 6 lane busy hiway, could hear traffic in large bedroom particular.

very clean, updated decor nice, laundry good but in rear need go around to rear of houset to get to. Had difficulty with electronic lock and ken 1st week difficult to get hold of, on communications I had with vrbo they his phone # . Would not stay again, priced maybe about right if things went better , but not for me for repeat rental. Ken helpful and nice guy owner/manager after difficult period to get hold of. Traffic 3/4 block away somewhat a distraction.

Terrific 2br! Clean, updated, well appointed!

This duplex was a fantastic place for me, my wife, my son, and his wife over Thanksgiving. It's in a terrific location, convenient to the beach, shopping, and downtown Venice. The place is modern, well appointed, clean, spacious, and really comfortable - and we really appreciate that they allow pets! The owner is very friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort and convenience!

Unreliable host

Pros: The property was clean and in a nice location. It was beautifully decorated and had all the essentials. The neighborhood was quiet and super close to the beach. Cons: The keyless door lock was touchy and ended up locking us out. The owner was unreliable and unresponsive. We checked into a hotel just minutes before getting access to the house again through another contact. We spent hours trying to get into the house and to our stuff. I’m thankful we ended up not bringing our dog with us, because it could have been worse. The shower is tiny and water gets all over the floor. Also, the water is so salty you can’t drink it.

Everything was perfect!

Wow! This property has everything you need for a fun beach getaway! First, everything was so clean. The place had tons of towels for both the beach and shower. The kitchen had enough dishes and glasses as well as updated appliances. The beds were very comfortable! There were beach chairs to use for the beach. There were so many beaches close by. Our favorite beach was Nokomis which was so close. They have a fun drum circle that you need to check out on Wednesday nights while watching the sunset. Finally, Ken was amazing to deal with! We had a fantastic vacation!

Clean and new, marvelous.

Ken did a complete teardown and rebuild of this property and it shows. The two bedrooms were great and the walk in shower was very nice. We loved the location and convenient short walk to the Sunset Hut and access to The Legacy Trail. The property is clean and relaxing. While it is just off Tamiami Trail it is quiet even with the busy traffic. The neighborhood is very walkable as there is very little traffic and there are two small local parks at the end of the point by the bay. Ken responded very quickly to a minor problem we experienced and was always able to be reached via text or phone. Highly recommend this property.

A True GEM

The house was in a perfect location. Walk across the bridge and Nokomis Sunset Hut is right there or across the street Captain Eddie's, for seafood lovers it is perfect. The house was spotless with every little kitchen gadget we needed. Ken was the best host we have ever had through VRBO. We would not hesitate to rent it again or suggest it to friends and relatives.

Great Find

This property was a great find! The inside is newly remodeled, tastefully decorated, and clean. The owner was prompt and polite with communication. Many "extras" were provided ensuring a pleasurable stay. The owner was thoughtful in providing beach chairs, towels, and even cooler bags that we could use! The property was a great size for a family of 4 and could probably have added another easily. It had great storage for all of our luggage. Although it was located in more of a community setting, it was close to beaches and restaurants. I would recommend this property to others, and I plan to stay again in the future.

Brand new property, very clean, very cozy!

This was our first visit to the area so we took a stab in the dark at location, turns out we choose very well. This property is well situated between downtown Venice and the beaches, it was a 5-minute drive to anything we needed. Everything is brand new in the space, the bedrooms were perfect for my husband and I and our guests being on opposite sides of the house. The beds and bedding were all very comfortable. We prepared our own breakfast and lunch and there was nothing lacking; the kitchen was fully stocked all we needed to bring was food. This property is pet friendly which was super important to us, plenty of space to walk the dog in the yard. We will definitely be back to visit and are excited about staying at this property again.
