We are a family of four with two teenagers and we did not want to leave pretty much sums up our stay! This is a beautiful, well kept, very clean and very comfortable home with a wonderful pool and hot tub. The home is located on a quiet and safe neighborhood street which makes for a wonderful relaxing getaway. When you are ready to get up and move, there are many choices. The beach is within walking distance as well as many activities and restaurants. Sharky's was a family favorite restaurant located by the pier on the beach. It had a fun family atmosphere and offered live music. We enjoyed Venice Avenue with it's many boutiques and restaurants and for something a bit more adventurous, we enjoyed the hiking and biking trails that Venice has to offer. Biking around Venice is a blast and a great way to see the sights! If you are a pet lover, Venice is certainly pet friendly. We saw many dogs strolling alongside their masters which we loved seeing because we were missing our pets who were at home. The owner of the home was great to work with and information was mapped out very clearly for us and we very quickly felt right at home. We did have a question for the owner during our stay and he was easy to contact and he was a pleasure to speak with on the phone. We would highly recommend this property and we will be returning and cannot wait!
