Wonderful home and pool in a quiet neighborhood that is close to main roads; restaurants, shops, beaches…hosts responded immediately. We would definitely stay again.
Great location to near by beaches. Many places to dine. Amazing outdoor living area. Pool great for kids and relaxing. Quite neighborhood. Full functioning kitchen with all amenities. Easy and fast communication with host. Games and puzzles for fun evenings with family.
We enjoyed everything about our stay in Venice for the past few weeks. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. The pool and pool house were amazing! The home is very close to several beaches, the marina and public boat ramps, restaurants, and shopping for food or souvenirs. The hosts left great instructions on the home, places to visit, restaurants, events, etc. and were very quick to respond when we had questions. We honestly could not have created a better getaway. We will be back again very soon and would highly recommend this rental! Thank you Edie & Greg!

Thank you so much! We look forward to having you back!
We absolutely loved this property. The guest house was perfect for our teen daughter and her friend to have their own space. We loved the side yard for the dog! Everything was just perfect for our family, the house decor was the cutest. Hoping to stay again soon :)

Thank you so much! We’d love to have you all again!
The home was perfect! So nice to have a fabulous pool to utilize! Had everything you could possibly need! Great for the fur babies! And excellent location.
One of the best stays we’ve ever done! The pool is absolutely amazing but you’ll never want to leave once you use the outdoor shower! The office space was a hidden gem. The whole place was very cozy and clean. There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like. We miss it already and would go back every year! Thanks so much for having us!

Thank you so much!!! We are so happy you enjoyed your time! and would love to have you again!
We absolutely loved staying at this wonderful, comfortable, home! So much…that it was our 2nd stay here! Wonderful pool! Great yard for the pups! Location was so convenient, enjoyed taking our dogs to the dog beach every evening for the sunsets! Really enjoyed the outdoor, covered space. It’s everything we needed and more. What a great, grandma, screened porch, with swinging chairs! Really enjoyed Venice beaches and hunting for shark teeth and shells! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home Edie, and Gregg
Property was AMAZING!! Exactly as advertised. Very welcoming and so cozy. WELL appointed and great location...the property lacked nothing! Already booked for next year. Greg was a great host, so quick to reply to any questions we may have had. We will be dreaming of that back yard for many weeks! Cannot wait to return!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to create and we‘re so happy it resonated with you!
When we chose this home as our vacation spot, it was the pictures that sold me. When we got here, we actually fell in love with it. Every day I noticed a new detail of something you guys did to the house, a decor item, the renovation details, which told me this is a place that you love, not just an investment property. We took care of it as if it was our own, because we felt at home. The home is not only extremely well appointed, but everything, and I mean everything, is of extraordinary good taste. I love to grill and I was missing having my big green egg (I used to have one when we lived in a house). It’s rare to see these in a rental house, it tells me it was put there because you love it as well.The pool is amazing, the outdoor shower unique, the home theater in the pool house is perfect for a movie night.I could go on and on. We also loved the town and the beaches. We are definitely coming back, and we are hoping to get more time in this wonderful home.This is exactly the type of home I dream of retiring in one day.Thank you for being such gracious hosts and promptly answering any questions I had and thank you for this unforgettable experience!

This is exactly how we hope every guest feels after staying at Laurel
Bungalow. To enjoy it for all its special touches. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking such great care of the home!
This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your care!
The house was clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor living space was fantastic and the pool was super nine. The separate building with bed and super theater room was perfect. We loved the location to shopping and the Venice downtown area. Quite friendly neighborhood and great for walking and bicycling. There were playgrounds in the neighborhood and park a few blocks away with pickle ball and tennis courts. So relaxing and great for grilling out on the patio!

Thank you so much! We are so glad you had a great stay!!
This is an amazing property! Everything we needed was provided except groceries and beverages. Great location for easy travel to restaurants. From decor to amenities, bravo!
Great location to beaches! Many great restaurants with 30 minute radius. Close to downtown Venice! My husband and kids had a blast fishing on the beach and combing the beaches for shark teeth. The pool and outdoor patio setup was outstanding! We loved the outdoor shower, great touch after a long day at the beach. We also enjoyed a trip to legoland for the day!
Our family had a fantastic stay at Laurel cottage. From the moment you enter until the back yard with the pool this property is a dream. Very comfy beds, great outdoor area for meals. Lots of room to rest and play.
