House South Venice, 5 's for a reason - comfortable @ the heart of Florida Life

sift the sands for shark teeth by The Fishing Pier, browse the shops of historic Venice, bike a local trail or two, take a dip in our private pool, then meander right back to Venice Beach for a fabulous dinner at Sharkey's On The Pier. Later, you can go back in our pool for a moon~drenched swim

That's just Day 1...

Breeze up to Siesta Key Beach, the best beach in America, for Drum Circle on Sundays to celebrate life with the setting sun. This is a must see event, free and open to all...

Enjoy seeing egrets in the yard in the morning and scan the afternoon skies for a glimpse of osprey settling down at dusk...natural beauty abounds. House South Venice is just two hours north of Everglades City, an hour south of Tampa Bay. This is the place to just up soak up the peace and magic of Florida Life.

We can be flexible, so feel free to ask for thoughts, wishes and needs.

Great place to stay. Very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Plenty of beach supplies(wagon, chairs, toys, shark tooth sifters, plenty of towels). The pool was so enjoyable, we used it every evening. The owner was so pleasant and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

We had another wonderful time here. The pool was so enjoyable (we loved eating on the lanai and just sitting by the pool soaking up the beautiful FL sunshine), and the fenced in yard was perfect for our fur-baby. The location is great as it's only minutes to different beaches, restaurants, and downtown. Fritz was a delight and responded very quickly with thorough answers (he has a great sense of humor!). We are already looking forward to a return trip! Thank you Fritz!!

Wonderful house with a swimming pool, it was clean and fully equipped with everything you need for life and relaxation, there is also a garage for a car, which is especially necessary in the heat. It is also worth noting the very polite owner of the house who was always in touch and was ready to help

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very well-appointed with so many extra things to enhance our trip. It was also super organized which helped us get acclimated for our weeklong stay. Fritz was a very responsive host and communicated well. The pool and back porch were a slice of heaven. We had fun exploring all the different beaches that were close by. We would definitely stay again. Nothing but positive things to share!

Perfect place for family vacation

The house was perfect for our needs on our family vacation. Our kids loved the pool and were in it any time they had a free minute, the games were nice during the short rain fall. The kitchen was stocked for us to make meals. Beach towels, wagon, chairs, and beach equipment/toys made our many days at the beach easy and fun. There are many beaches to visit. Enough restaurants and shops nearby to enjoy as well. Fritz was only a text/phone call away with any questions and helped make this vacation a memorable one.

Home owner went the extra step and put up some birthday decorations and a sweet card for my 60th birthday. Doesn't get any better than that!! PRICELESS

Perfect!!

Our vacation rental was nothing but amazing! VERY clean! Response time was great. Location was close to restaurants and not far from the beach. The host provided everything needed for our stay. From items for the beach, to our night swims in the pool, we didn’t have to pack extra items that are a hassle. Everything in the home was labeled so there was not any confusion. We travel to Florida every year and I think that we’ve found the perfect rental for our future stays. Highly, highly recommend.
