About the host

Hosted by Birgit Laniewski

Host profile image
Growing up in Germany, the country of my dreams always has been the US. After decades of traveling through dozens of states, South West Florida became my final destination. I fell in love with the tropical nature, the beautiful weather year-round and the slower pace of everyday life. The sunsets at our beaches are gorgeous.
Since we got our first vacation home, I learned how I love to share these blessings with our wonderful guests.

Why they chose this property

What I love about South Venice is the typical American neighborhood away from fancy tourist spots and high rise buildings. Within minutes we are at our favourite miles long beach on Manasota Key, our nature preserves at Lemon Bay or on the fantastic bike trails (Legacy Trail). Shopping is within 5-10 minutes, the proximity to the highway I75 is convenient for trips.

What makes this property unique

Definetely the gorgeous pool area with the large sitting space. Our sunshelf is a well loved feature that is not often to find. Surrounded by lush greenery, it is pure relaxation. Kids love the sports pool with shallow ends on each side.
Also our care for cleanliness is surely one reasons we have so many returning guests.
