The host was responsive to our concerns, the home was clean, the bed we slept in comfortable, and the price was right for the age of the home and location. When we arrived the kitchen basics were lacking such as only two spoons and no usable fry pan. The host sent us a nice 10 inch fry pan. We did not complain about the other insufficiency until leaving and the host indicated they would be fixed.
This is living room and shows reason we gave accuracy of listing 2 stars. The listing shows 2 couches but there was only one. Facility list tv but that's only if you bring your own streaming system such as Hulu.
Venice Beach was nice and only a short drive (about 2 miles) from house.

The host stated that there was a dishwasher and ice maker. There is neither of those. The dishes were filthy. I spent over an hour doing the dishes (by hand) that I thought we would use. There are still plenty of dirty dishes and no organization in the cupboards. There was a screwdriver and screws in with the silverware. Also, the arm for the door was broken off and sitting in a box on the counter in the kitchen. And, I dropped an earring in the bedroom and looked under the bed and dresser to retrieve it. There is enough dust & animal fur to stuff a toy. Sadly disappointed. On a positive note, it was a great location. Oh, and cockroaches were a problem. I hope some of these issues can be resolved. We won’t be back. Sorry:( in our 10 years of vacation rentals, we have never had to leave a negative response)

Excellent Venice Location

The Historic House is a wonderful, comfortable property very close to downtown Venice, beaches and bike trails. The property manager, Bishop, has provided all the essentials for a carefree vacation. His instructions for checking in were clear and timely. Bishop made us feel welcome and we would certainly stay here again.

Home away from home

My family and I took a 5 day vacation to Venice Florida. My first inpression when I booked online was how this little home was priced so great being down road from the beach! A 5 min drive if that. Anytime I had a question the host would respond quickly and directions were straight forward and easy to follow. The home had everything we needed. This home is old, a piece of history. It has character and charm and I would stay here many times if availble. Venice is a safe family orineted town and your lucky if you find this place!

Historic Home in Venice Fl

Very clean but old and cute. The door stuck so at first we thought we were locked out after entering the code but got in. Then we had an issue with tiny ants by the kitchen sink. The refrigerator was not working. It would not keep anything cold. Other than the old smell it was fine.

Not as expected

First off, the pictures are not at all what the property looks like. The musty and mildew smell is still lingering on all of my washed clothing. Our pet we brought kept finding dead roaches under the beds and there were lots of dust bunnies behind the doors and under beds as well. There is also a hole in the wood flooring I continually stepped in and stubbed my toes on. If you plan to stay here make sure to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels. There was a tiny portion of toilet paper left for the duration of 3 nights. Overall, would not stay again!

It was ok, but probably won't use again.

The house is cute. The pictures online match. The A/C was on and comfortable. Some problems we had are an ant problem in the kitchen and another type of bug in the bedrooms. My friend had them in her bed and I had them on the lampshade in my room. I didn't run out screaming because they seemed harmless and didnt move the whole time we were there. The ants were contained to the kitchen and also harmless. The home is old and smells like it. The original floor by the bedrooms and bathroom is splintering so we had to be very careful not step there barefooted. The last few things to mention are the common area TV not working and no towels, bathmat, or washcloths at arrival. We looked around and I texted the number for the host, but we didn't hear back and we didnt find them in the home. We ended up buying our own at the closest Walmart. On night 2 we found the little closet with the towels thankfully. On day 3 we were startled by someone trying to open the door with the code, but thankfully it didnt work. I yelled at the person that the home was occupied and they yelled that this was there rental. I told them they need to contact the person they are renting from because this house isn't it. Turns out this home has rentals immediately behind it. And I mean immediately behind it. I didn't like the proximity the home is to multiple other rental properties as I was looking for a more residential experience. Last thing was the window in my bedroom wouldn't lock.

Property manager ranks a "0" rating

The host/ property manager is poorly equipped with the skills necessary to perform the job. During our 9-night stay, we exchanged several texts and calls over 6 of the days, however, she never ONCE offered to stop by to offer assistance. In fact, her attitude came across as someone who was annoyed that we were bothering her. Most troublesome was the electronic lock on the door that malfunctioned many times, causing delays when we were going out. The unit worked sporadically so we never knew when we were going to have an issue. The first time it malfunctioned, it took the host over 3 hours to text us back. Some other comments from the host concerning the lockbox were along the lines of: “why did you wait until now to call” “the unit has rechargeable batteries and there’s a recharger SOMEWHERE in the house” (In fact, the batteries were not rechargeable and we never saw a recharging unit.) “I am at work now and cannot get to the house” – when asked what time she could make it, she said “I can’t give you a time.” Eventually, she said it would be at least 2 hours. I asked if there was a physical key for either door to the property, and the host replied “there are no keys for the house.” Oddly, there’s a contractor’s lockbox on the door rail which we thought may contain keys; otherwise, why is that lockbox on the door rail? We left at 9:36 a.m. on Sat 12/09/2023 and informed the property manager once again that the lockbox was not working - no reply from the mgr.
