Great house for a family getaway!

Very nice house. Comfortably fit 6 adults. It was nice being right on the water and the saltwater pool was great. Easy access to lots of restaurants and Sombrero Beach. Close enough to Key West for day trips. Greatly enjoyed our stay.

The property was excellent and the location was paradise! From fishing from the dock to swimming in the pool...sipping drinks on the deck and under the tiki hut was all amazing! This home was everything I could have dreamed of for our family vacation celebrating our son's 13th birthday!

Host was responsive in the planning process. The property manager was responsive and checked in on us during our stay. We loved the location, very quiet. The views could not be beat! We loved the pool and tiki hut. From the deck, We saw a variety of fish, birds, and butterflies. We saw iguanas and lizards. We saw a turtle and manatee. The water was so calm even on the windy days. We would come back!

Loved my stay again this year! Fifth stay here at Little Venice. This spot is so relaxing and beautiful . Home is so clean and very close to restaurants, shopping and local attractions. All the comforts of home and the most spectacular water views! The pool was the perfect temperature to cool off on the warm afternoons. I can’t wait until next year!
