In the charming Venice Gardens neighborhood, just a quick drive from the beach, sits Castaway, our bungalow-style house with brand-new furniture, plenty of space, and a big grassy yard. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets plus all the comforts of home here!
At Castaway, you are just 10 minutes away from historic downtown Venice Beach, with all its unique shops and attractions, plus one of the most beautiful beaches on the Gulf. Yet once you reach our house, you feel a world away from the crowds and the tourists and the commerce. Castaway is in a friendly, quiet neighborhood where kids play outdoors and folks sit out on their patio in the evening. It’s truly the best of both worlds!
At first glance, Castaway may remind you of the beach houses of your youth. It has a huge front window, a gently sloping roof, and a yard that includes a fenced-in area (great for toddlers to ride their Big Wheels) as well as wide-open spaces, all covered with springy grass. Off-street parking is available here.
But once you step inside, you see that the retro charm of the exterior is matched by the contemporary convenience of the interior. New furniture graces nearly every room at Castaway, along with modern technology such as the flat-screen TV with DVD player in the entertainment center in the living room. Central air-conditioning cools the balmy Florida weather silently, and ceiling fans are available for more temperate days. Central heating keeps Castaway cozy during the rare winter chills. Welcome to your home-away-from-home in Venice!
In the big, sunny living room, an ultra-comfy leather couch and easy chair around the TV, a pair of cozy reading chairs with sunshine spilling in beside the big window. There is plenty of open space in this room, so the kids can set up their toys and projects, and the whole group can get together without feeling crowded. What a change from cramped hotel rooms!
Adjacent to the living room is a large, nicely appointed dining room with a big table and comfortable chairs beneath a modern chandelier. After the meal, sweep aside the dishes and break out the Monopoly and Cranium for an evening of old-fashioned fun! This room is elegant enough for Thanksgiving dinner, but also perfect for games and puzzles just in case you want a break from the beach and sightseeing.
The galley-style kitchen is just beside the dining room, and contains everything you’d need to prepare and serve a feast. Full-size appliances and time-savers such as a microwave are waiting for you here, along with a cheery window over the sink, smooth-top range, and brand-new countertops. The cupboards are full of dishes, cookware, and utensils – all you add is the food itself!
There are 2 bedrooms at Castaway, plus a big sunny playroom which can be used as a third bedroom if you like (the futon flattens out into a bed for 2). The playroom may become your favorite space in the house, with its French doors leading out to the backyard, plenty of open space, and privacy. This is a great place for the members of your group who like to get up early and take a walk in the beautiful Gulf mornings.
The master bedroom is quiet and restful at Castaway, featuring a queen-sized bed with windows in several directions. Soft carpeting feels so good on those hot “beach feet,” and there’s plenty of room to move around in this room. The second bedroom also contains a queen-sized bed, with a little bedside lamp and a window you can see out of from the bed.
The bedrooms share the full bathroom at Castaway, which offers both a shower and tub option. We provide all linens and towels for all the beds and the bath, as well as free wireless Internet throughout your stay. Pack light and come as you are – you’ll find our house well furnished and fully appointed. A grocery run is probably all you need for a great visit!
Come stay at Castaway soon. You’ll love the house, the neighborhood, the sunsets, and the beach. Get ready for a terrific vacation!

We enjoyed the location, pool and ambiance of this house and in fact have booked there again for Nov. 2012.We felt very comfortable in the house. The furniture in the family room and lanai was a little tired. The bar-b-que ,while functional, had some heat distribution issues. The neighbourhood was very safe and the people were friendly.Owner response: Hi Barbara - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.

A few issues that need to be addressed.<br/>1. Gas grill was filthy & propane tank was empty.<br/>2. Portable ironing board was not attached to wall so it couldn't be used & the iron did not work at all.<br/>3. Never got in the pool because 64 degrees was too cold for December weather & we would be fined if we turned up heat.<br/>4. Badly stained carpets in br's need replaced.Owner response: Hi Carol - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize for the maintenance issues. I have already contacted my property manager to get these fixed. You and your family are welcome back any time.

We loved the home, the view and the cleanliness and amenities provided. However, I don't think we will be staying in Venice again. We are very sociable Midwesterners and the neighborhood with the exception of a few people did not mingle. The people always waved but were very closed as far as never coming out. The people in the community consumers in stores were rude at times and seemed unwilling to smile or show any courtesy on the roads or in the sotres. I can say the employees of establishments were very cordial and helpful. I think offers very little in terms of a variety of activities for visitors. For a lengthy stay, you can only do things so many times. We found ourselves heading north to Sarasota to find leisure activities. The stay in the home was wonderful but the surrounding community is not our cup of tea for the type of active people we are and our personalities. That is why we left earlier than our contract stated. we still love during business with Steve Milo and his crew.Owner response: Hi Sharon and Don - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I have spent many vacations in Venice Florida and I have never experienced this. The people I have met have been quite friendly. I am sorry you had bad luck and I am emailing you a discount. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. You and your family are welcome back any time. Thank you again. Steve Milo, VacationRentalPros. com 904.707.1487

Hello Steve, <br/>here now the assessment to our stay in September in the house Cambridge drive in Venice: <br/>Venice Gardens is a very nice and sure area. We have liked the house very well, The neighborhood is very friendly. Particularly we have enjoyed the pool and the view of the canal. (dreamlike sundowns). Everything was very clean and furnished suitably. The care by Dennis very felt well and we have got some tips of him (many greetings to Him). We would book with pleasure also next year again a house with you. With the winding up by your company we were very contented. Over again many thanks for the good care<br/>Birgit and Jack from GermanyOwner response: Hi Birgit and Jack - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.

This property was very neat and clean. We appreciated having 3 t.v.s, beach equipment, bikes and the heated pool. A very nice, safe neighborhood to walk in plus very convenient for events/shopping in Venice. The only recommendation would be to have a clock or two in the bedrooms. Enjoyable 3 wks.Owner response: Hi David - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.

Owner info
About the owner: My name is Steve Milo and I stay in Vacation Rental Homes when I travel both domestically and abroad. I own several vacation rental homes and listen carefully to our guests and their feedback! Our greatest compliment is when our guests refer our web site to their friends and relatives. AND, now I am managing other people's properties in St Augustine Beach, Daytona Beach, Palm Coast and Ponte Vedra Beach. Our guests and their great 'word of mouth' have helped us expand to over 500+ vacation rentals. We booked over 10,000 rentals and received over 3,000 guest reviews in 2011. You can find some of these by going to search engines and typing in Steve Milo or 'Vacation Rental Pros' . Thank you!
Why the Owner Chose South Venice:
And the best part of it all is the location. You're within a short car ride of historic downtown St. Augustine, the oldest city in America filled with pedestrian walkways with shops, cafes and first class restaurants. We are also close to Daytona Beach and the Daytona speedway and museum. We are also only a 1 1/2 hour drive to Orlando and Disney World/Universal/Sea World as well as 1 1/2 hour to the Kennedy Space Center. Our rental is also a short car ride to Ponte Vedra Beach and PGA golf Course and TPC as well as Jacksonville with the brand new St John's Town Center (with a Costco), Avenue Mall and River Front Arcade. There is also a minor league baseball team and a professional football team and stadium.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The beach is wide and unspoiled here by large crowds. Kids will spend hours exploring, and their parents and grandparents will love discovering new areas to relax and reconnect If you're ready for uncrowded beaches, balmy weather, clear skies, and Florida's natural wildlife, come visit us today!
