About this property

ISOLATE - MEDITATE - RECREATE

Venice's Best Kept Secret!!

We all need our own space and this hideaway provides it and more. Perfect for some much needed R&R. From inside your eyes will be drawn to the private outdoor living area. The beautiful aqua blue water of the swimming pool, dense surrounding foliage, birds, butterflies and other resident wildlife make this retreat truly unique.
You are just steps away from the Intercoastal waterway and walking/ bike path. Take a short stroll on foot or venture farther by bike for a few miles to the gulf or head to downtown Venice to explore restaurants and shopping.

This home is nestled in the trees at the edge of a nature preserve, Intracoastal Waterway, and miles of paved bike/walking path. This three bedroom, two bath pool home is located on a dead-end street with a wooded area to the west and green space across the street to the north-east. The back of the home faces the sunset with glass-sliders opening out onto over-sized paver lanai with gorgeous pool view from master bedroom and entire expansive length of living room giving the feel of endless room. Although this property is populated with several beautiful trees, there is no shortage of sun!

The backyard is a peaceful sanctuary for Florida birds and a pass-through for the small timid bobcat. Walk forty steps off the backyard and you will be on the Venetian Waterway Bike/Walking Trail with miles of paved path that follow the Intracoastal Waterway and connect to the Legacy Trail which continues toward Sarasota. You can also bike to several businesses, restaurants, beaches, and parks on the island of Venice from the Venetian Waterway Trail.

Hop on your bike, take a walk, or relax on the bench (as pictured) and be mesmerized by the view because you are also on the Intracoastal Waterway. This is home to dolphins, manatees, and endless marine life. The Intracoastal Waterway runs parallel to the Gulf of Mexico and accommodates everything from kayaks to large yachts traveling locally or those traveling from northern parts of Florida toward the Keys.

This home is in a neighborhood with close proximity to several beaches. There is a kayak launch within the neighborhood. Another bonus for this homes location is Shamrock Park. Shamrock Park is within walking distance of this amazing home and offers nature trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, large children's playground, picnic areas, and restrooms. It is also home to the Florida Scrub Jay (a blue robin-sized social bird) and several tortoises, not to mention large Florida birds.

The location of this home is in a coastal community with the opportunity to visit several beaches in Venice, to the north in Sarasota, or to the south in Englewood.

Pool Heat is optional and available for an additional $110/week plus tax. Please inquire before or after reservation is made if you would like pool heat added to your reservation.

The ferry that is mentioned in some reviews is now available to residents only.

Fantastic!

The house was lovely and very private. The host was very kind and responsive. Many little things were included that made for a seamless stay (laundry soap, garbage bags, coffee). I highly recommend it.

Holiday Vacation

We enjoyed our two week stay at this home We loved the location! . It had everything one would need for a short/long stay. Loved the pool and being on the waterway. It has a nice sized laundry/entry way. We did have a couple of issues early on. One with the washing machine and the other with the air conditioning, but the host was VERY quick toremedy both issues. One thing we did find disappointing was the cleanliness of the home. We put a half day into cleaning the home (wiping down the inside of cupboards, vacuuming under furniture/beds and closets and so forth). Things that one would expect when renting and the previous guests paying a cleaning fee as we did. Overall, it is a nice home to spend your vacation. I am simply sharing this information in hopes that there is a little more attention given to the cleaning of the home in preparation for guests. remedy the situation .rem situations.

If you like quiet and private - this is the place for you!

We rent often from VRBO and I think this is my favorite location ever. Spotlessly clean, private pool and great sunset views over the canal. Just minutes away from multiple beaches and yes - we found shark's teeth. :) We'll be back again.

This home has everything you need for your stay, it was clean, and has a very nice pool, I really appreciated the mesh gate around the pool to keep out little ones since we had an infant and 3 year old with us :) this property is also very secluded which is very peaceful and relaxing.

Ocala vacation

I brought my mom and son here for a week to visit with family. It was everything we hoped for and thoroghly enjoyed our stay. Bed were comfortable. It was centrally located and on the International waterway that provided an excellent and safe place for exercise or just a nice walk. We enjoyed the pool every day. The house was equipped with accomodations that made it easy to eat in and play without having to buy alot of extras. The beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella came in handy. Angie was great to work with and responded to messages promptly. If we ever get a chance to return to the area I hope the house will be available because we would love to stay again. We all miss it since we left.

Just lovely!

We had a terrific stay. The location is ideal as is the pool! Be sure to pay the little bit extra to have it heated- that was the best! The house is very clean and spacious and well decorated. The floor plan is a typical Florida house footprint with smaller bathrooms, but they are very clean and updated. We would rent again!

This property was in a wonderful location and had everything we needed for a great beach getaway!! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and sand sifters for the shark tooth hunters. The pool was clean and very private. We enjoyed the access to the Legacy Bike Trail. Angie answered all if my questions quickly. Great vacation home.

A Wonderful, Quiet Place

The property is located at the end of a 'dead-end street'. It is very quiet with a wonderful pool area. The house is very cosy and comfortable with a nice kitchen, living room and three bedrooms, each one having a nice size. Interacting with the real estate representative, Angie, was such a pleasure. The reservation process and the following check-in and check-out was a breeze. The overall location is very convenient and you can reach all the local beaches within 30 minutes driving. If you are looking for a nice family Florida vacation, I can highly recommend this property.

Perfect for family

This is our 3rd time renting from Angie. This property was our favorite. We saw a dolphin in the waterway, tortoises in the backyard, an armadillo, and a bobcat. The pool was wonderful. The property was nice and secluded. It was very central to beaches and shopping. This was by far our favorite house that we have rented in our years of visiting Venice. We look forward to next year.

Quiet, Secluded, Peaceful

We had a great stay here. There weather was cooler but that didn't bother us much. Caspersen beach is a short drive around the corner. We searched for shark teeth everyday and enjoyed the beach. Definitely have the pool heated if the weather is going to be on the cool side for Florida. We didn't use it much due to the cold temperature. This property is a great value for its location and the pool.

The house was quiet, clean, and well stocked.

The pool was refreshing. We saw a bobcat in the backyard, also a big turtle. The pass for the ferry was nice. We went to the private beach 3 times. Well worth going. Our only negative is the master bed, only one person can sleep in it otherwise you both end up in a gully in the middle of the bed.

Love the location.

My first priority is always the location of a house close enough to walk to fish. The waterway is very close and we caught a good amount of fish in it. The pool kept the family happy. Very clean and nicely kept house overall. Only slight negative of the house would be the bathrooms. Kinda cramped and awkward but usable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home! It was clean, comfortable and well maintained property!

We enjoyed our stay and found the property very accommodating and comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked and everything was in good working order! My family really enjoyed the pool and it warm and clean! I would rent this property again without a doubt! The only little annoyance were the pool pumps outside the main bedroom by the side of the house. The pumps were a little loud when they were going and at times went off in the middle of the night. Overall, a great home in a quiet neighbourhood! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Excellent Location, Excellent Stay

We stay in Venice every year and this has been our favorite at this price point bc of the location and pool. We added the extra to heat the pool and it was so worth it, highly recommend. The yard was great and it was amazing being able to step out the backyard onto the trail for a run or bike ride. Also loved the proximity of Shamrock Park for the kids. So close to all the great Venice beaches too. The house was similar to other south Venice properties but bc of the location and pool we now definitely rank this as our favorite! Excellent communication from Angie too. Thanks for a fantastic couple of weeks.

Relaxing

This home is in the perfect location, close to many beaches, shopping, parks , and great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion I would have is the rooms need some darkening curtains. It would help as far as keeping the home a little cooler and of course it would keep the sun from waking you up so early. Other than that the place was perfect. It had everything we needed.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I are have done the busy resorts and were looking for a quiet but nice place to stay to check out Venice for future winters. This was exactly what we needed and everything was as pictured and more. Convenient and quiet location at the end of a road and backing up to the Venice waterway. Lots of wildlife and great to walk on the trail. It was convenient and we could be in the lovely downtown in 10 minutes. Lots of beaches to explore. Angie and Gary were very easy to deal with and responded quickly. We definitely want to stay again! Thanks!

What makes this property unique

The location of this home is unbeatable. Enjoy Mother Nature from your doorstep as you relax poolside. The property is planted to attract butterflies and has a very active population of several types. While convenient to local shopping, restaurants, and beaches, this home abuts a nature preserve and Intracoastal Waterway and offers the opportunity to bike or walk for miles from the property on a paved path. Whether at the private beach or in the backyard there will be no chance for boredom here!!
