This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!

We stayed here for 4 weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. The backyard is amazing and that's where we spent most of our time. Very secluded that you don't even feel your in town. The house itself is an older home with vintage decor. There was a funky smell when we first got there, but it seemed to improve after a few days or maybe we just got used to it. (Not sure which one) The main bathroom is pretty small but my husband loved the outdoor shower so I pretty much had the bathroom to myself. We walk an hour every morning and the Legecy Park (with the bike trail) was only a 3 minute drive. Publix was two stoplights down on Venice Blvd and downtown shopping was just over the bridge, so quick access to many things. Greg & Edie were great hosts and responded to any issues we were having.

Great location to beaches! Many great restaurants with 30 minute radius. Close to downtown Venice! My husband and kids had a blast fishing on the beach and combing the beaches for shark teeth. The pool and outdoor patio setup was outstanding! We loved the outdoor shower, great touch after a long day at the beach. We also enjoyed a trip to legoland for the day!

We checked in 5/30/25 and checked out 6/6/25. We had an amazing time with our 4 granddaughters and dog. We have stayed in this area many times before, however this is now our most favorite rental. That is saying a lot as we have been renting vacation properties for 50 years. As good as the pictures are, the property is even better in person. We will defiantly be staying here again. It is close to all the things we love to do in Florida and the home exceeded our expectations.

About the host

Hosted by Edie & Greg

Host profile image
We both grew up in Venice, know the area extremely well and spent a considerable amount of time choosing the perfect "fixer upper" to scratch our itch for remodeling homes. In 2014, when we found Laurel Bungalow it was a no brainer, with its 1950's charm, ideal location and space for expansion, this was a perfect fit for us. Our vision was to create a home space where we would never have to leave or go on vacation because home FELT like vacation. The home has been completely remodeled and updated with all the creature comforts while preserving its simple, original charm. The backyard has been designed with care; ideal for morning coffee, pool gatherings, outdoor dinners with friends, football watching from the pool, sipping wine while the sun sets and just about every scenario you could envision. We added the pool, covered patio with outdoor kitchen and t.v., detached garage and pool house (personally used for guests w/ a luxury Murphy bed) and our very own home theater with reclining seats and 86" TV!

Why they chose this property

Comfortable, quaint, convenient to EVERYTHING, equipped with all the Florida amenities you would need right at home. Quiet neighborhood with tennis and pickle ball court 5 blocks from home, neighborhood park for children but close to downtown, beach and activities. Home office with high speed WiFi to work remotely. Pool- Outdoor Kitchen- Home Theater- Fenced Yard- Outdoor Shower- Outdoor TV. If you like to spend time outside, with the comforts of home, this is the place for you.

What makes this property unique

At home amenities are abundant. Home office w/ high speed WiFi to work remotely, screened porch, open air covered porch, heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, gas grill, Green Egg, gas fire-table, fenced yard, cedar outdoor shower with hot water. Distance from downtown, beaches, Legacy Trail under 2 miles. Pickleball, tennis and basketball 5 blocks away.
