Creative Coastal Cottage - 5 min to beach
Be one of the first to stay in this colorful coastal vacation rental in Venice, FL located just five minutes from the beach.

If you appreciate fun, quirky touches and loads of personality, this is the place for you and you're sure to leave your stay feeling inspired and full of unforgettable memories.
The home has been fully renovated and equipped with modern amenities. An open concept, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and the fun color palette invite you into the space and create an easy flow. The living room has plush furniture with plenty of room for your whole group to lounge and features a huge 70' smart TV connected with tons of free TV shows and movies plus you can connect to your favorite services as well.
The kitchen is the hub of the home. Brand new cabinetry shines and is complemented by the bright backsplash. The space is lit by modern lights and tons of natural light that floods in from the front of the home as well as the adjacent lanai. In the kitchen, in addition to the major appliances, you'll find all of the cooking essentials to prepare and enjoy a simple or gourmet meal after a day basking in the sun or adventuring.
There's a small breakfast nook next to the kitchen, but with the awesome Florida weather, the private back patio is likely where you'll want to dine and spend most of your time. To get to it, you'll pass through the lanai, which is another space where you'll want to spend a lot of time.

The backyard has been beautifully landscaped and is surrounded by a new privacy fence. The large dining set has an umbrella to protect you from the sun. Bring your favorite lawn games or enjoy our Oversized Connect Four or cornhole. We also have a gas grill and a firepit for your enjoyment.

Stay in Venice Beach
We had a great two weeks in Venice Beach at this property. Highlights include two Braves spring training games, multiple visits to the beaches, golfing at Wellen Park and hiking the intercoastal waterway. We also traveled to Sarasota to visit the Ringling museum (recommended) and have dinner. The house was in a great location. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our small dog and we greatly enjoyed the Lanai. We were out there every morning and evenings and for dinner. There are two large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The showers were very nice. Plenty of closet space and comfy king beds. The other room has a very small bed which we did not use. TV's are in every room and worked perfectly. The WiFi signal is very strong. The only small complaint is the living room furniture is a bit dated isn't the most comfortable. The neighborhood was fine. Felt comfortable walking the dog daily. The Detmiler market is close by and a great place to pick up meat, seafood fruits and vegetables. Be sure to bring your own cooking oils and spices, otherwise the kitchen is well-equipped. Paul was very helpful and very helpful and responsive when we had questions. Overall, a great time.

Venice Florida
The house worked really well for my stay. It’s a nice neighborhood, the fenced in yard was fantastic for my dog and the house was very well stocked. It was hot and the air conditioning worked great. I rent a lot and enjoyed the ‘home’ touches in the house from shower products to cleaning equipment. This often doesn’t happen in rental properties. Definitely would rent again if I return to the area. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house close to beaches
The house itself was really nice and fully equipped. Loved the neighborhood and close to beaches. The exterior yard could use some tlc and did not match with the properties pictures on line.

Great Stay!!
We stayed at Pauls home for 3 months and had a terrific time. The house was great, the neighborhood was very safe and friendly with neighbors walking their dogs and chatting with each other. There was a great propane firplace in the fenced backyard. that was awesome to relax by at night. We miss it and hope to get a chance to stay there again! Thanks Paul!!
