Great boat-house located on the back half of the Marina; was perfect for the group of 4 of us to enjoy our weekend of guided fishing! Plenty of bed space, full kitchen, ice cold A/C, and back patio for enjoying the weather. 2nd day of fishing our guides picked us up straight from the house! Our host ensured that we had everything we needed. Overall a fantastic experience and great location - highly recommend!

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.
