The stay was absolutely perfect and the house had anything and everything we needed and is in a great location! I can not say enough about how awesome the host is and is amazingly easy to communicate with! She knew it was just me and my daughter and even texted the day after we got there to check in on us and make sure everything was good. The home and host made our yearly mom and daughter vacation absolutely perfect! We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Island Property

My husband and I stayed here for a wedding recently and were extremely happy with our stay. The house was very clean and tidy. The property was larger than we expected and there were lots of places to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Deb was communicative and accommodating. We felt super comfortable and had a very peaceful trip here. Would definitely recommend this home for your next trip.

We had fabulous time! House was perfect for the two of us. Very clean, neat and tastefully decorated. Had all the essentials we needed in kitchen, bathroom and beyond. I like to cook and kitchen had everything. Bed very comfy. Liked the shower instead of tub. Sofa and loveseat comfortable to watch nice, large TV. Sunroom was peaceful. Yard was nice will plenty of places to lounge and enjoy large grill. Our host was very friendly, informative and so easy to work with. Location to beach and town convenient. Venice is lovely city but crowded this time of year (spring break).

The location was perfect for us. Close to walking/biking trail, grocery, restaurants yet very quit and private. Awesome back yard with privacy fence and 3-season room for cooler mornings. House had everything we needed to cook in. As sports fans we enjoyed the TV’s. Private drive for parking. Bed was comfortable. Everything very clean and neat. We found a nice beach at Service Club Park( about 5 minutes from the house) where there are covered picnic tables and restrooms. It was much less crowded than the larger beaches. Already planning to return next year!

Island Bliss

Location is very important, no need to leave the island and deal with the nonstop traffic!The house is amazing and sparkly clean. Deb has thought of everything! New comfy furniture, including the beds. I really can’t find any negatives. We lived on the island in the past and so happy we found this gem! The back yard area is private and quiet. Also there is an amazing walkway right across the street that is even lit at night. We will definitely be back!

Everything about our stay was perfect! The location is centrally located on the island so you are only moments away from anywhere you want to be. Beaches and downtown Venice are also only a very short drive or bike ride away as well which we loved. The home had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. This is huge for me because so many rentals have cheap mattresses and sleep is important on vacation!Deb is a truly lovely host and she was there to answer any questions we had about the house, Venice, things to do etc if we needed her. She also checked in on us during our stay so we felt very comfortable.We 100% recommend Deb and her charming Venice Island home for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and convenient stay!!

Heather, thank you so much! I am so happy you and your family had such a great time. It seems like you all packed in so much during your time in Venice. Thank you for the very wonderful review, and I hope you can come again, either to Venice, or Colorado! You all are wonderful guests, and would love to have you back anytime. Thanks again, and please keep in touch.

Clean, comfortable, and pretty. Well-kept house and yard. Host responded quickly to my questions.Host's guest information booklet recommended the "Croissant & Co." pâtisserie just down the street, and it was phenomenal. Definitely worth getting out early to catch them at opening before they sell out.We had one small hiccup where the previous guests had broken the garbage disposal and hadn't informed the host upon leaving, but the host had a plumber come to fix it immediately.I highly recommend this house and host.

Derek, thank you so much for the wonderful review. Love that you gave it a 5-star! Thank you. It's great to have guests that care about the house as much as you all did. Appreciate you telling me about the disposal, and then working with scheduling to get it fixed. So glad it didn't get in the way of your fun. And happy to hear you loved the patisserie. A favorite for many for sure! And so close to the house ;-) Come back again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Deb Alles

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Colorado. Still my home, most of the time. However, I love to travel. I find I fall in love with the culture and the new adventures as I experience each place I go!
I love doing anything outdoors. Hiking, biking, walking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, diving, snorkeling, and on and on. I tend to be drawn to the areas that provide these opportunities. I love meeting people and getting to know them. I also enjoy a good book by the fireplace and quiet time. I love a good meal, and cooking. I love life!

Why they chose this property

The location is incredible. Yep, location location location. Being on Venice island is what I wanted. Near the beaches, yet safe during threatening storms. Perfect "Old Florida" feel with splashes of new modern homes throughout the neighborhood. The best part are the neighbors!!
And, the waterway/legacy trail right across the street from the front door!
And, close to downtown. And, close to the beaches. And, close to all amenities! Perfect neighborhood!
BTW, for now, the house next door (gorgeous updated home) IS for sale!!
You're welcome!

What makes this property unique

Very clean, cared for loved and newly furnished. I'm told "You thought of everything" , and if you as my guest notice something is missing....let me know.
