About this property

Circle Drive Venice Island Pool Home a Short Walk To Your Own Private Beach!

Our Venice Island home is less than 2 blocks off the beach and has been a short term vacation rental for the past 17 years. Unlike many, we are a legally licensed and inspected City of Venice vacation rental.
The TLC is evident from the moment you arrive. Lush landscaping greets you as you pull in the driveway and the warm feeling of home continues as you walk through the front door. The sunken living room is well furnished with that tropical feel of Tommy Bahama tables, comfy loveseat and couch and a large TV for those quiet evenings at home. The kitchen is equipped with virtually everything you'll need to whip up that gourmet dinner which you can enjoy in your dining room or poolside in your private lanai. Three bedrooms await in the split plan layout. Located on one side of the house is the master suite which is comprised of a private water closet & walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and a large vanity/sink area to prep for those evenings out or to just retire to your king size bed. On the opposite side of the house are two large bright bedrooms with a shared full bath in between. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, ceiling fans overhead and plenty of storage.

Enjoy Swimming? Spend your days at your own private heated pool or stroll a block and a half away to your own private beach - the choice is yours! Enjoy biking? Venice is full of great trails and paths that can take you all the way to Sarasota or if you like an easier, shorter pace then just amble your way around the island on the provided bikes. Enjoy walking? You can go south to Sharky's - one of the best Tiki Beach Bars in Florida - to enjoy that afternoon cocktail or walk north to Venice Avenue for lunch or that evening meal at one of the many restaurants. So many choices and so little time!

Caution: If you are not familiar with Venice, be sure you understand the difference between a Vacation Home on Venice Island and homes located off the Island of Venice that claim to be close to beaches and downtown Venice.

Enjoy your search and your vacation!

The property was everything as described- location was excellent. It’s actually a very short walk to golden beach, however they were doing the restoration there during our stay. Everything you need for the beach is provided and the pool was clean. The gate surrounding the pool was very helpful for my one year old grandson. The only issue that we had was the sunken living room which proved to be interesting with the baby. Would stay at this property again! Thank you to Chris and John!

John was very welcoming. The location was very conveniently located. Close to the beach, fishing pier, and downtown. The beach supplies were a great treat. The pool was great for the grandkids. All appliances worked well, but would have loved a Keurig or Nespresso for a quick cup. John was bery responsive in replacing the gas grill and it came in handy several times.

Perfect location for a nice beach trip with the family. The private beach access was great, there was no one there but us for the whole trip. The pool was a big bonus and the house was clean and just as pictured in the listing.

About the host

Hosted by John and Chris Wilson

Host profile image
We purchased this home in 2008 and after extensive renovations we spent 9 years enjoying this wonderful house as our winter Vacation Home. Like so many others, we totally fell in love with the Island of Venice and it's tropical lifestyle. Consequently, we moved to Venice permanently and now offer this home as an all season premium Vacation Home.

Why they chose this property

Prior to buying any home, we spent several vacations driving from Tampa down to Naples trying to pick the "perfect" spot to purchase our winter getaway. Needless to say, of all the Gulf locations we researched, we kept returning to this small, quaint and activity filled town that took our hearts away.

What makes this property unique

Venice has received several accolades in the last several years such as -
3rd Happiest City in America, 16th Most Affordable Small Sunny Town (266 sunny days), 4th Best Town to Live in Florida, 10th safest Mid-size City, 2nd Most Affordable West Coast Beach, Southern Living Magazine's Best Place to Retire, 11th Best Small Town to Visit in Florida, 21st Best Place to Live in U.S, Third Healthiest Region in Florida, 2nd Best Place in Florida to Retire, Expedia's Most Extraordinary Beaches in the World
