Great communications and response from friendly owner made our stay enjoyable. Central location to Venice and Englewood gives quick access to shopping, beaches, and restaurants. Home was very well equipped. Would definitely visit again!
We have family locally and this home was perfect for us so that we were close to all of the fun but had our own space and could bring our pet, if needed. We will be back!

Deborah was a wonderful and very friendly guest. The house was left in pristine condition. We hope Deborah returns soon.
Good location to manasota beach,just a few minor glitches with tv and garage remote. No lawn service so yard needed attention after 1 month. Overall a good stay

Didn't think I deserved a 4 Star rating. Think the guest was picky.
Very spacious, lovely clean home. Pictures do not show how expansive this home is. Charlie is a very good host. He contacted us to make sure we arrived ok and was quick to respond if we had questions about the property. We are looking forward to our next visit! Thanks for the great stay!
Feels just like staying at home, but with the great Florida weather. Everything exceptional, comfortable and easy to use. Wonderful having a garage, and the location is first rate. Would recommend the property to anyone. Service from the owner and property manager, although no problems needed service, was exceptional, excellent recommendations for local activities and the book showing reviews of area facilities was very helpful.

Sue and Jim were great guests. They are extremely personable, super friendly and took great care of the property. They left the house as clean as when they arrived. I would love to have them back anytime.
Charlie’s home was close to friends we wanted to visit and located near good restaurants and beaches. He was available via text for all our questions. The house is clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

Diane was an excellent guest and left the house in pristine condition.
This property was perfect for us; from the screened in lanai to the double garage where we could keep our small fishing boat out of sight. Charlie the owner was very responsive and nice. Highly recommend this property for families also as it is close to great beaches and hiking trails as well as kayaking, etc. We hope to be able to come back next year!

Pam was a great guest and left the house in excellent condition. Would love to have her come back again. Thanks Pam
Charlie was a wonderful host. The house was perfect for me and my cats. He was very accommodating when I needed extra days. Wouk’s recommend staying here.
This home was perfect, simple and had everything necessary to have a relaxing time. There are three close public beaches, shopping, and dinning anywhere you would like. Some household items were dated. We spend most of our time outside so this was no bother. The owner kept in contact to make sure our stay was going well. We travel often and appreciate owners who care.We would stay here again and appreciated the allowance of our fur baby!

Sharleen was a great guest. She is very personable and treated the house with great respect. They left the house in pristine condition which is greatly appreciated. I would love to have them again.
Property was as described, very comfortable and roomie (I’d might suggest a slightly bigger bed for couples in master room) then again I’m not the smallest guy either. Charles was very helpful and communication was top notch. He has fishing equipment and bikes available for the guests and not to mention the ferry pass that we used a lot. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Stefan and family were great to have. They are very friendly and personable. They were looking to buy a house and were successful, very happy to hear that.
We enjoyed our stay at Charlie’s house. Finding a rental that accepts pets can be difficult. I was so happy to find Charlie’s place available when we planned our last-minute trip with our elderly cat. The home is very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The layout of the house is great. Although it was just two of us, I can see how this home would work well for a family. Others mentioned having issues with the TV but we had no problems. Charlie had recently installed a new one. The weather here was beautiful in November with pleasant temperatures. Kitty preferred to spend time outside in lanai so I ended up putting her litter box out there during the day. Since she is 4 pawed declawed I didn’t have to worry about her scratching/damaging the screens. The location of the house makes it convenient to the beaches, shopping and whatever else you might want to do in the Venice area. I would definitely recommend Charlie’s home.

Joan was a great guest. She left the house in immaculate condition which is greatly appreciated. I would gladly have her back. Thank you Joan.
This was a very quaint house on a corner lot. There was quite a bit of traffic but that didn't bother us. It met all our needs. Charlie was great and we texted several times during the week making sure we were comfortable and getting to know each other. Our 2 dogs were so happy and loved the lanai. We would have spent more time out there if it wouldn't have been so hot. The house manager, Karen, was great too and lives locally. We only had about 10 days and it rained every morning so we didn't get to go to the private beach. I would have rented it again for our winter extended stay but it is already reserved. We will definitely stay again!
Thanks for opening your home to us, Charlie!

Gary was a terrific guest and left the house in great condition. We would love to have him back anytime. The TV situation was supposed to be rectified by me. But do to the influx of guests this spring, summer, It will have to wait till fall.
Wonderful area for biking. Trails along Venetian waterway beautiful. Caspersen beach & Venice beach lovely. Saturday farmers market in downtown Venice fun. Target & Publix close. Detwiler farmer market the best!
Charles & Karen couldn’t have been nicer! Kitchen & Florida room our favorite!
Hopefully we’ll be back in 2023! Thanks a million!
