I always search for vrbos that are under 300 a night and that sleep at least 6. The price was fair and there was plenty of room here in the blue house. House was clean she gave us good instructions/welcome info. The backyard was a little unsafe...the patio boards felt like they were going to collapse. The swingset was kinda dangerous for an almost 3 year old but she did love it we just had to b standing right next to her. Older kids enjoyed the big swings. pool was ok but kinda hard to get into. Didnt see the bags for the cornhole game...outside stuff was a little worn but glad it was fenced in. The house isnt in the best neighborhood and the house next door is abandoned. It was quiet though never did see a neighbor. House is very close, like 10 min, to some beaches. Guest shower was clogged the whole time we were there...bathroom was flooded after 2 min shower...used all towels cleaning it up each day. Finally the last day the owner came by n cleaned the sand out/unclogged it. She was very nice just wish she had responded sooner...i messaged her the 1st day about the shower didnt hear back till following day and she didnt come fix it till our last night there.

House was as advertised and host was very responsive. We were not on vacation but attending a somber family event so we did not utilize the pool or yard. Very nice, quiet neighborhood convenient to Venice locations.

Spring break trip

We had a wonderful time at this house the location was perfect, close to several beaches and restaurants. The owners left a great reference book with recommendations in the area. It was also close to many stores and the house was cozy and had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and all the appliances we needed. The backyard was amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had a rental with that much space in the backyard spent many nights playing cornhole. We would definitely recommend and come back to this house if we return to Venice next year.

Great location, very clean home with a wonderful big private yard.

We loved the location. There’s tons of beaches and miles of hiking trails close by. The giant backyard was great for our dogs as was the dog beach and two dog parks close by. The house was very clean. The hostess communicated with me very quickly about checkin and a minor repair we found when we arrived. We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice. We will come again we hope.

My family and I had such a great time at the blue house! I have two young boys so I was looking for a place that would have plenty for them to do so I could relax and this was it! Playground and big yard was a huge hit. The pool was even bigger than I expected. The kitchen had everything we needed. Ewa was great with communicating whenever we had a question. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

The Blue House was a perfect space for a girl's weekend away. The home was exactly as described and fully stocked, with everything we needed during our visit. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. We had the best time at Venice Beach and found lots of shark teeth at Manasota Beach.
