Had a wonderful stay. Home was in a great location. Home is a great choice. The only issue is the grass was quite long and the shower curtain was dry rotted, so we replaced it, so that water would not get everywhere. Nothing major. We would stay again.

Not quite as expected

Pros: the house was centrally located, had Aldi’s, Dunkin Donuts, and a shopping mall nearby, a 10 minute drive to Venice beach. The swimming pool was delightful, lite at night, the kids loved it. It was large enough to swim lapsThere were beach chairs and swimming noodles in the garage for our use, and a washer and dryer. Hair dryer and soaps in the shower off the master bedroom. The house had towels, toilet paper, napkins paper towels and trash bagsTwo bathrooms with showers and tubsWi-Fi, central air which worked wellLarge tv in living room that had streaming with Netflix and Amazon Prime.The house was very cleanCons: the third bedroom was not a bedroom but a small den with a pull out sofa which was very uncomfortable. Once the sofa was pulled out, there wasn’t much room to move around in the room. There was a small deck over the water which collapsed when the four of us stood on it to watch the sunset. We almost had a catastrophe when the end of it went down but fortunately none of us fell in. I notified the owner right away. He said thank you for notifying him but did not come to the house to see what actually happened. It was a day or two before someone came to corral it off. He did not ask if anyone was hurt. The lock box that held the key did not work despite all of our efforts. We had to go in and out of the house through the garage. The kitchen wasn’t very well stocked, although the refrigerator was good and it had an ice machine.

Great getaway with a fantastic pool!

We had a fantastic stay at this home! The highlight was definitely the pool—our kids absolutely loved spending time there, and it made our vacation extra special. The house itself was comfortable and well-equipped, and although we encountered a few minor maintenance issues, the owner was incredibly responsive and took care of lt right away. We really appreciated the prompt communication and attention to detail. Overall a great experience!

The house was found to be in clean order. We found everything we needed for our short stay.However, the landscape could you a tidey, as well as the garage. As a former landlord, I understand not wanting to spend money on a property. But a few bucks would go a long way with this property renting for more money.

Venice Stay

First impression outside was an eye sore. Grass and plants around house was grown up and need cutting badly. Surrounding houses lawns was cut and neat. House was very clean. A little updating especially furnishings in living room and removing the couch in the screen patio, would make this more pleasing place to stay.

2 month stay in Venice Gardens

Property was "as advertised. Location was excellent for ease of access to Venice and the surrounding area. Bird life was especially good for viewing in the back yard and we had at least 3 small alligators in the lake. Interior of the house was clean but could use some further maintenance (eg not all the blinds are in good repair.). Host was responsive and easy to work with.

Not worth the stay

Overall the property was clean, furniture is outdated, but clean. Pool area was nice. Outside of property was definitely not the same as what the pictures depict. Landscaping was dead and there were dead bugs stuck all over the entrances. The biggest issue is that the air conditioning was not cooling the house. We arrived at 10pm and the inside temp was 83. We set the thermostat to 72 and there was no cold air blowing from the vents. So we decided to stay in a hotel for the night, came back the next morning at 9am and the inside temp only went down to 79. We made several attempts to discuss this with the owner, but the owner did not believe us, even though we had pictures and videos and called us liars several times. The owner was rude and unwilling to resolve the problem. We've been renting from VRBO for over 5 years and have never had such a bad experience. I'm sure the owner is going to say something negative about us in a response, but my review is based on facts.

Disappointed

We were very disappointed to find out that this house was not a 3 bedroom but really a 2 bedroom house! The 3rd room is not a bedroom ( does not have a closet) but is instead a den that is connected to the master bedroom with a sliding glass door to separate the two rooms! This actual room doesn’t have a bed but has an old sleeper sofa with a very uncomfortable thin mattress on it and didn’t have bed sheets for it so we had to improvised!! The blinds on the slinging door are missing/broken so no real privacy there either! Not to mention that our bed sheets had stains on them! They were clean but had big red stains that didn’t come out after washing them. The sliding glass door in the kitchen is literally missing the handle that we actually found in one the kitchen cabinet drawer. Light bulbs on lamps were out and I didn’t feel like it was my responsibility to take care of it! This property is to me not well kept as described on the website. I think someone should check the maintenance of the house before guests arrive to make sure that everything is working and in order!
