Adam, our host, was very helpful every step of the way. He was very thorough and complete with entry and starting directions, communicated clearly and contacted us promptly when a proble developed with the AC at the house. That was fortunately only on the last morning of the rental and did not affect us very much. This was the best VRBO rental we have had among many in Venice, Florida.

Clean, Quiet Home

The house is exactly as pictured and we enjoyed all of the spaces. Weather outside was hot and humid, but the house was wonderfully cool; even the lanai was pleasantly shaded and kept cooler with a fan. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and the house had everything we needed for our family with plenty of towels, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and lots of beach stuff. WiFi was speedy and worked equally well throughout the house. The neighborhood is quiet and Shamrock Park couldn’t be any easier to get to with its walking paths and beautiful playground. We would certainly stay here again.
