Perfect spot for going Fishing

Had an amazing stay, the owner was phenomenal to deal with, could not have been better, had some rough weather and went back and forth with owner until the captain decided we had a good enough weather window and were going to send it, we fished with Bob Hovey at LA Bluewater charters and this spot could not possibly be better located to fish with those guys as you walk right out the front door and step on there boat because that’s right where the store them, house boat had everything we needed for our stay and was cleaner and nicer then we even expected the group gave it a 10/10 and will most definitely be returning here for any trip to venice in the future regardless of size of our party

Fishing

Our very experienced guide had not picked up fishermen from this location before. We fed him a couple of dinners and he was very impressed with the accommodations compared to nearby locations. There were only two of us in this large floating house but, we thoroughly enjoyed every square foot! Location to Crawgators bar/resturaunt is a plus.We usually cook extravagant dinners and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cooking sheets, etc. This was our third trip to Venice for fishing. We will only stay here from now on.

Perfect location for fishing from Venice

The property owner is outstanding. He communicated regularly with us as we watched for Hurricane Francine to pass. The houseboat has been well maintained and looks the same as when I stayed there 6 years ago. The houseboat is comfortable, spacious, and laid out well. The floor plan allows for everyone to participate in cooking, watching football, and reliving the day’s fishing. We also enjoyed watching all the boat traffic from the back porch. It is the perfect base for fishing from Venice. I will stay here the next time I am back to fish.

Great stay in Venice!

Great spot and convenient: clean, good size for larger groups, and within walking distance to the marina and restaurant. Our inshore fishing guide picked us up right at the back door. Nice ice machine too. Enjoyed watching the tuna boats coming into the marina in the afternoon. Doug is great, A++
