We arrived in the middle of the night and the owner left the porch light on for us. They also answered our call when we couldn’t figure out the thermostat. We had all the kitchen supplies we needed to make home cooked meals. Water pressure was good and furniture, including beds, were comfortable. The location was a short drive to everything we wanted to see and do. I mentioned to the owner that my daughter wanted me to bring home a coconut and they gave me one. They really went above and beyond to make our stay great!
We loved staying close enough to our favorite beach (Blind Pass) yet we were also super close to all of my favorite stores and restaurants. Easy access to everything. Was a nice place for a quick getaway.
We love Venice and every year we try to visit with my family. This property was perfect for 3 of us. Everything was as described and Laura (host) was very nice and responsive. I look forward to planning our next stay. Thank you, Laura!
This property was pretty much as described. Home was very clean and check in was a breeze, the only issue we had were the ants, but that is an easy fix. Also, there is no control of the AC, it is not allowed to go below 74 degrees which in the summer is makes it a little warm.. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
The property owner is a tremendous host. Goes out of her way to make sure your stay is as nice as advertised. Beds are comfortable, the home is clean, and the location is close to many nice beaches.
I come to Venice quite often. This property is as listed and the property owner was very responsive to me whenever I needed something. I would definitely stay here again. Good property and fair price.
The house is very clean. The location close to Venice and all the nearby beaches. We had a great stay over Labor Day. The yard was great for our dog. Overall wonderful stay.
Came to Venice for a short visit to watch my son graduate from high school. House was clean and convenient, spent some time on the beach and had a great time.
This is a very clean and up to date apartment. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans, utensils, etc. You are provided with one roll of paper towels, so you may need to buy more, depending on the length of your stay. (This also applies to the toilet paper...1 roll for your stay.) There are no condiments or spices kept at the property. If you will use aluminum foil or plastic wrap, you will need to bring that, too. Keep that in mind when shopping for your meals.
The location of this property is just a few minutes from Venice Beach and downtown Venice. There is a nature park nearby. Great for walking. You will love watching the birds in the backyard and out front. Many different species, big and small!
The apartment is cozy, welcoming, and CLEAN! The beds are comfortable and the shower is roomy. There are 3 tvs in the apartment with a variety of programming options.
The host makes the whole process easy and enjoyable.
Great choice for a long or short stay in Venice.

Had a few issues with the stay.
The first morning that we woke up they had begun construction on the house. The front pergola was taken down & they jack hammered the sidewalk & porch on the front of the house.
Also when we arrive the owner had a cat & she told me that the pervious tenant loved her cats & they would let her cat come in the house. That was a huge problem for us since my husband is allergic to cats. He had to take medication the whole time we were there.
Have always enjoyed our stays at VRBO's but this was not the greatest.
My family and I had a wonderfully relaxing week in Venice. The property was perfect and in a super quiet neighborhood. Laura went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed while staying at her property. 😃
We could not have been happier with our stay. The home was clean, comfortable, well equipped, great location, etc. Our host, Laura was a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to work with. Would recommend this property to my family and friends. We definitely hope to return in 2024. Thank you, Laura, for making our stay the best we could have ever hoped for.
Clean and nicely decorated interior! Beds were very comfortable!! Owner lives in attached apartment. Curb appeal was a bit lacking. We enjoyed our two week stay!
Had no Wi-Fi was the only problem. The area was nice, my dogs enjoyed the yard to play. Able to hand up my dive gear to dry for the next day. The owner was very nice.
This is a nice property close to everything. Neat and clean; no issues at all. We had a small snafu with the door lock but the owner was very responsive and the fix was fast. Brought our dog and the yard worked out well even though IAN blew down some of the fence. No Ian damage here - great value!
We had a delightful stay, while being close to family. It’s a well managed and kept up property. Upgraded appointments, great area, very helpful manager. We’ll stay again.
My mom lost her house during Hurricane Ian and we could only find a hotel room in Tampa, and only for 4 nights. There was no availability anywhere and many areas still had no power. I was starting to come to terms with sleeping in the lanai of her flooded house when Laura messaged me that her rental just got power back and we were welcome to it.
The house is very comfortable and absolutely felt like home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, parking was very convenient, and the house was stocked with everything we needed to settle in for 10 days. The ability to have a hot home-cooked meal in our cozy place was so critical during that traumatic time. We had plenty of space, access to a washer and dryer, strong wifi, and peace and quiet. Laura came out to meet us when we arrived and she was so gracious. I can't say enough good things about this owner or this place.
We were extremely happy with our one month stay. The home was comfortable and certainly a great value for the Venice area. Perfectly located to enjoy the many nearby beaches and allows for easy day-trips to the Sarasota and Fort Myers areas. Others have written about Laura's hospitality and she indeed goes out of her way to accommodate any requests. We will definitely utilize this property again for our next trip to Venice.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Randall
We reside in MD most of the year but love to escape to our home in S Venice as often as possible. One day, we hope to retire here. For now, we enjoy sharing our home with people from all over the world. We have been so humbled by all of the wonderful things our guests have said about our home and hope that each one has a special time with their family and friends, making memories that will last a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
There is so much to do for people of all ages. No matter what you or your family and friends enjoy doing, there is something for everyone here. Our lot has an over sized yard with plenty of room for pets and kids to run and play. We hope we have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Your comfort and satisfaction is extremely important to us. We make every effort to provide a clean, comfortable environment that you will want to come back to. We would rather be in our Venice home than anywhere on earth and hope you will enjoy it too.
What makes this property unique
We love our oversized yard - plenty of room for tropical fruits and perfect for our dogs to run and play. For less than the cost of a small room at the local motel, you can enjoy all the benefits of home.
