We had a wonderful month long stay at this gorgeous property. The home is beautifully and comfortably furnished, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything one might need and more. The pool was heated and we spent most of our time on the lanai which provides both sun and shade. The neighborhood was quiet, and I loved hearing the songbirds and watching the butterflies outside the pool cage. Our hosts stayed in touch with us to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. Best ever VRBO experience.
Great place to stay! House had everything we needed. Owners were great with communication and took care of anything we needed during the time we were there!
The property was very clean, very spacious, stocked with the essentials, the pool aera was a fun spot to hangout with the kids after the beach. Any problems that arouse during our stay were quickly resolved by the owners. We enjoyed our time here and recommend this property to anyone who wants a laid back community that is close to the beach.

Thanks so much Isaac! It’s been a pleasure hosting you and your kids!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The owners were very helpful. The .home was well stocked and beautiful, with plenty of space. We especially liked the closeness to our favorite beach and only two blocks from a nature preserve.
The house was very roomy and had everything we needed, including fancy dishes which we didn’t use. Thanks to the owners for being responsive to our questions. The pool and hot tub area was nice for relaxing but just needed a little TLC.

Thank you for staying with us this past winter! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the house. Our enclosed area where the pool and spa are located is 2100 sq ft, has heat resistant/non slip flooring, sun loungers, multiple conversation areas and small flower garden. Out of courtesy for our guests, the garden is tended to by our landscaper when the house is not occupied. We appreciate your feedback and will discuss with our landscaper its upkeep while the house is occupied.
Having stayed in several properties, this was the overall best vacation rental. The owner was professional and gracious, instructions were complete and simple to implement, and best of all the house was very clean and comfortable.

Thank you Linda for your kind words and for taking great care of our home during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family🌹
Our group of six adults recently spent 4 weeks at this wonderful location. Walking through the neighborhood and to the beach was easy and safe. We spent much of our time within the enclosed pool area with hot tub, chaises, sun and shade. The house was spacious and comfortable. The owner/hosts were exceptionally responsive and professional in dealing with our questions and concerns. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet and private getaway.
Wonderful property. We had a fantastic time staying here and would highly recommend. It is located halfway between Englewood and Venice so you have a number of beautiful beaches right on your doorstep. We preferred to take a short drive and go to Venice beach during the day as it has really good facilities but we also enjoyed walking to Manasota beach in the boot watch the sunset. The house itself is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need and more. The owners were very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We really loved the pool area there is a large lanai with sun loungers which was perfect for relaxing in the afternoons. All in all, a wonderful experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting the area.
This property was perfect. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process. House met all expectations and pool area was great. 5 stars is not enough. Great location, great house, great florida weather.

Thank you so much Roy! Alex and I are very glad to hear that everything met your expectations. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
My husband and 2 sons had a wonderful stay at this property. Only 15 mins walk from the beach. Very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed many afternoons in the spa pool area and evenings using the outside seating area. Our hosts were exceptional, great communication throughout our stay especially as they kept us informed on what to do about Hurricane Idalia. Fortunately no damage was done and we were able to continue our holiday.
We are return snowbirds to this area because we enjoy what Venice and Englewood have to offer and like being close to Manasota Beach as well as shopping and restaurants. This property is at the top of our list of places we have stayed. It was very clean and well taken care of. The furnishings and amenities were top-notch. Our bed was very comfortable. I've never had such a well-stocked kitchen at a rental property before. The two best things about staying here are: 1)the outdoor space is wonderful and we loved the pool and jacuzzi; and 2) the responsiveness of Alex and Era was phenomenal. They did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would love to come back and stay again in the future.

Thank you so much Nancy! We are so touched by your kind words and look forward to having you and Chuck stay with us again.
My family and I rented this beautiful home because it looked large, comfortable and modern. It was all that and more.
Before we arrived we had multiple contacts with the homeowners. Era and Alex assured us that they would take care of any concerns we might have. They did that and more. There were housewarming gifts waiting for us that included, chocolates, tea and a bottle of wine. A detailed message board with local dining recommendations, Wifi and contact info as well. Their home guide was thorough, helpful and well organized. The house is beautiful, spacious and modern and the outdoor space was just the same. We enjoyed the pool, lounging on the deck the outdoor space including the mini fridge for convenience. The beach is either a short walk or quick drive from the house (just over a half mile) Manasota Beach never disappoints. Unfortunately, there were some issues with red tide this year but it didn’t keep us from searching for sharks teeth and enjoying the sun. We were in need of another beach chair and Alex ran out and brought us two the very next day. There was absolutely nothing that Era and Alex forgot when designing this home for guests including smart technology throughout the home. My family and I have stayed on Venice Island and Manasota Key for 13 years now and in many different homes. Although we have enjoyed them all, this house and the owners have been the best of them all and we will certainly rent from them again.

Thank you so much Peter for sharing your experience and taking the time to write this review. Alex and I are so humbled by your kind words. We look forward to your next visit!
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for 16 nights.
There were plenty of dishes, cutlery, glasses and cookware. And plenty of other things as well.
The pool was warm and clean and the lani was very large with comfortable chairs.
We ate outside many times.
The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We walked every morning and found very friendly people.
Era emailed me several times to make sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything. She is very friendly and kind. We had a nice surprise when we arrived. Era had left some treats to enjoy during our stay. Which we did very much.
We highly recommend this beautiful home for your next vacation!
Thank you Era we had a great time and if we come to this area again we will certainly book again.

Communication with owners was prompt and friendly. Alex and Era went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and met with our expectations. Their house is beautiful, exceptionally clean, spacious and has all the mod cons you would expect and a few more besides. The terrace area is large and very private due to screening. The heated pool and spa proved to be irresistible. The house is located in a quiet area and within walking distance of the beach. We arrived in South Venice just 2 weeks after Hurricane Ian hit the Gulf shores, so unfortunately there was a lot of debris but this did not detract from our visit and indeed the massive clear up operation was well under way by the time we left and we got to see that Venice really is a very pretty area.
We had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect. The house was well appointed and so close to the beach. The pool was just what we needed. The beds were all comfortable and the big tv was a nice touch.
5 stars isn’t enough for this property. We had our first family vacation here. We picked this location as it was close to the beach, had a pool, and was a good location for what we were looking at doing. This house is beautiful and well taken care of. There is everything you can think of that you would need. Communication with Era and Alex was very good as well. They were both quick to respond to any emails or messages we had. Would definitely recommend this property to family and friends to stay at.
The house and location were wonderful. The beach is .9 miles away, but it was easier to drive schlepping beach paraphernalia. There’s a large free parking lot at the beach.
The house was as pictured. The kitchen was well equipped with even a crockpot.
The pool is amazing! There were several days we didn’t even leave the property.
The owners answered any questions promptly.
We highly recommend this property when visiting the west coast of Florida.

Thank you Judy! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit!
We loved, loved our time in this home. Alex and Era responded quickly to any questions we had. It "sparkled" with cleanliness which we appreciated during the Pandemic. Trust the listing pictures! This villa is a gem. No dated furniture or ugly wall colors. Comfortable beds! Close to the North, less crowded beach of Manasota Key--our favorite! Bikes to ride which our grandsons loved. Beach chairs for the beach. Quiet neighborhood-- we loved walking around it. Within walking distance to a nice nature preserve. But the pool and pool cage were stunning with comfy furniture. The sun fell on the pool all day but it was also heated to a comfortable temperature with Smart Home technology each morning for our old bones.
