About this property
My little slice of paradise on Okaloosa Island
Venus has so many repeat guests each summer they wish they had never shared the secret of Venus by the Sea.
The living room has a sofa sleeper, so this is perfect for the parents and two small children. Your patio has a beautiful view of the pool courtyard and your walk to the beach is about 150 yards away. This unit DOES NOT have a beach view. It has a fully equipped kitchen and linens provided. If you like to be away from the crowds this is the place for you. It is on the gulf side of the beach. There are restaurants and shops within 2-5 miles but the beach is not as crowded as Destin. NO PETS, NO SMOKING OF ANYKIND IN UNIT & PLEASE DON'T LEAVE EXCESSIVE MESS. FYI, all reviews before Sept 2021 were with a different management company. I now self manage and have received all 5 star reviews. Also I have a 5 star rating on the other platform.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Davis
I worked for the Venus management company for over 10 years. When I saw how much people love this place I wanted to own a part of that. The beach is my FAVORITE place to be. It's the only place I can truly relax. I want people who come and stay in my unit to feel relaxed and refreshed at the end of their stay. I know many people who stay here have been coming for years and I hope that my unit will become a favorite of yours too.
Why they chose this property
I cannot say enough about the family atmosphere. There are people who made friends as kids in the courtyard and now they are bringing their children. In this small environment people make fast vacation friends, unlike the large condos where you only pass by people in the hallways. Since it doesn't have a beach view it is more affordable but you still walk the same distance to the beach. Who really sits in their room all day "looking" at the expensive view anyway?
