Venice Area Description and History: Venice is one of the few cities on Florida's West Coast without a barrier island. The soft white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico form the western boundary of Venice. Fourteen miles (22.5 km) of beaches from Casey Key to Manasota Key offer unparalleled recreational opportunities including: swimming, sunbathing, fishing and boating. Shelling is also a favorite pastime, and fossilized sharks teeth can be found in abundance by sifting through the sand. Golfers enjoy excellent courses in the greater Venice area.
Venice is a Florida Main Street City; northern Italian architecture and beautifully landscaped boulevards that date back to the original city plans of 1925 grace its downtown. A historical treasure, Venice was originally called 'Horse and Chaise,' suggested by a tree formation along the coast. The settlement was named Venice after the canal city in Italy in 1888. Venice is a pleasant getaway for the vacationer who wants to relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.
Things to Do in Venice: Take a walk along the miles of golden, sandy, uncrowded beach to search for shells or fossilized shark’s teeth. Venice is known as the 'Shark's Tooth Capital of the World.' Sunbathe, swim, or fish in the surf.
Enjoy golfing at any one of the seven public golf courses located within the Venice area. At nearby Fisherman’s Wharf, you can rent scuba & snorkel gear. You may also try catching that big one at the Venice public 750-foot long fishing pier.
Stroll along Venice Avenue in the historic downtown area of Venice Island that is very much alive with exciting activities, shopping, and dining. Browse the many quaint specialty shops. Play tennis or basketball at the municipal courts located just beyond the downtown area. Take in a Broadway play or musical at the Venice Little Theater. The activities are endless!
All shopping, restaurants, supermarkets, golf, tennis, charter-fishing, pier-fishing, water sports, theater, and the Venice area hospital are within a 5 minute drive.
Venice Area Restaurants and Regional Attractions: There are many area restaurants with several of them having an oceanfront or waterfront view. These include: Sharky's on the Pier (a must - Sunday night is “Reggae Night” featuring a live Calypso Band), Marker 4 Oyster Bar which has a Friday night fish fry, and The Crow’s Nest Marina Restaurant. For those landlubbers, try Luna Ristorante (great Italian fare), Ntinos Pizzeria and Restaurant (inexpensive and plentiful), Saltwater Café (superb seafood), Gold Rush Barbeque (great baby back ribs), and MI Pueblo Mexican Restaurant (Muy Bueno Mexican food and Mariachis too).
Regional Attractions: Sarasota Kennel Club Dog Racing, Ringling Brothers Circus and Art Museums, the Mote Marine Aquarium and Laboratory, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, The Gulf coast Wonder and Imagination Zone, and the Museum of Cars and Music which are all located in Sarasota only 30 minutes north of Venice. Fort Myers is 1 hour south; Tampa and Busch Gardens are 1.5 hours north.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a lanai, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. A Smart TV comes with cable channels, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful place to stay just steps away from a private beach with no crowds.
Wonderful lodging, just right for my daughter and myself for a quick getaway. Had everything we needed for comfort and our trips to our private beach. The host, Kevin, was very friendly and very prompt in addressing any questions that we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, other than it was just way too short. Will definitely come back to this location and looking forward to our next trip. We would definitely recommend!

Nice little billa
We were pleased with the Villa . The villa had beach chairs , umbrellas, and shark teeth baskets that we thought was wonderful to have for us to use. There was a friendly neighborly atmosphere. We enjoyed being so close to the beach as well as the pool . We like to walk . We felt sale walking and discovered the parks close by . We liked being on the island and so close to the town .

Wonderful Beach location!!
We were sent an email prior to leaving, that communicated clearly, everything we needed to know. The condo was perfect, very clean and comfortable for the 4 of us. It was stocked with clean linen, towels and other necessary stuff. The location was near almost everything.
When on a second day we went to the beach and after a couple hours digging, we found 7 shark teeth and various shells. It was a very wonderful and memorable vacation for our family! We definitely thinking to coming back over there again.

Beaches, pool, and relaxation
This place is not the biggest, but we didn’t spend much time inside. The beach is 40 yds away with a walk to the end of the parking lot. We loved this because we could come and go with our young kids without having to load up the car. We found sharks teeth and cool shells. We also visited Caspersen Beach just 5 mins down the road by car. Lots of cool stuff going on in that area too visit too. Overall this place serves our needs as a family of 5 and we would come back anytime.

Stayed 10 minutes, then left.
We rented this place so our daughter and her friend could find sharks teeth but that never happened. The place is small. Kitchen, living room, dining room are all the same 10x10 room. The couch is old(my guess is from the 80’s)and it opened to a sleeper sofa that had grass clippings on a mattress that was just Springs covered by a thin layer of cloth. Very uncomfortable. I was not making my daughter and her friend sleep there. Bed mattresses were new according to owner but very firm. Bedroom carpet was stained in multiple places. Beach rentals should never have carpet for this reason. The tv room/lanai in the pictures is useless because it’s an enclosed porch with no a/c in the 95 degree summer of Florida. It’s a room to store beach toys but you won’t want to spend any time out there. Brought all of this to the attention of the owner and he said the stains were recent, didn’t know about the sleeper mattress and the bedroom mattresses were 6 months old. Said he was upset to hear that we weren’t staying but never an apology or offer of a partial refund. Not even an offer to refund the cleaning fee in a place we didn’t stay in. Disappointed to say the least we drove 2 hours back home.

Close to the beach
The location is a short walk down to the beach. The condo is in rough shape, carpet stained, bathroom caulking needs to be cleaned up. Slats in the curtians in the bedroom were missing so you didnt have full privacy. The door to the back area was cut and it rained making the indoor outdoor carpet wet.
There are plenty of dishes. Cooking utencils, towels and beach items and it was quiet.

Perfect relaxing family oriented location
This was our first time using HomeAway and our first visit to Venice. The booking process was quick and the owner's response time is lightening fast. This condo is the perfect location as within a few steps you are on the beach. Any store that you would need is right around the corner along with hospital. The FREE Venice pier is just one mile away. The onsite pool is also just steps away and is very large and clean. The condo itself was very clean and had everything that you would need, just bring your clothes and food! We had zero issues.....safe location, cold AC, fast WIFI, multiple TVs with cable and we even came across some DVDs and even VHS movies that we enjoyed. We spoke with a few other guests at the complex and several had been coming for years. It is very family orientated and we felt completely safe with three small kids with us. A bonus was a great view of the fireworks right on the beach by the condo, no driving, no big crowds. We will be returning. Only negative was the red tide in the area hurt my fishing attempts.We can't highly recommend enough.

the month of march spent uncomfortably!!!
The property rented march 20018 has a good location, however it needs a thorough cleaning, updating. Furniture and rugs were soiled, kitchen utensils and pans need upgrading. We would not recomend. Very uncomfortable. p ropen
a potentionly great piece of property however, you must understand that it needs a thorough update as far as cleanliness. Clean or rip out the stained rugs, take out the extra chairs and update couches, put new blinds in linai, put a set of stainless steel pots in kitchen,get rid of antique utensils,get a routine cleaning service , clean out closets of clutter,update tv,. Units must be clean without dirty laundry from previous r enters.Your units have a bad reputation. Shape up!

Great Location and cozy.
Being a first time renter using VRBO we were not certain what to expect. Looked at all the pictures, read the review posted about this property and had some interaction with the owner and felt pretty confident going in that things would be as stated.
When I walked up my first thought was oh no did I make a mistake. The top glass/screen for the storm door was missing. Oh well, move on and I did. I put the number into the lockbox to get the key and expecting it to work like the lockbox on my airplane hanger door, I did not get it to open. I tried several times and then called the owner to double check. Entered the number again, held the thing upside down kinda and it opened and the key fell out. I laughed thanked him, and entered the property.
Place was clean, tastefully decorated and had everything you would need for a short or long visit. Being first timers we had brought stuff we thought we might need but did not. Note to others, buy when you get to the property after seeing what is available.
We unloaded and walked to the beach, probably 300-400 feet away and enjoyed our first sunset.
The only cons I have are nothing that should deter you from enjoying this property or location but I think that people should be aware of them, as one of them was particularly annoying for me and studying for an FAA Exam and keeping in touch with business interests..
Internet was very unreliable. I continualously reset the router and then my systems. Thank god the neighbor had an unsecure connection to theirs because I ended up using it when I could not keep the one in the unit on line. I did call the first night, simply because I never thought to reboot the router, I mean it has been ages since I have had to reboot a router and I worked in IT for the last 30 years. The router just needs replaced and better service brought in, especially in todays connected world. I know since it is a rental they want to keep the price down so that is probably why the old equipment.
The other, and it was not a big deal, was no HD on the TV’s. Like I said that is not a big deal but it should be noted so there is no surprises. Once again that helps to keep the cost down.
We would stay there again for a long term rental loved the location, but we have a dog so our next rental will have to be pet friendly. Have missed the place ever since I got home so you see the cons are not bad.
