Staying at Barcelona Villas is always a good experience. The location is great & very close to the beach. Everything you need is close. The area is very beautiful & we always enjoy our stay. The only thing I wish was a little better is the cleanliness of the floors. The floors are swept well, but need to be washed because our feet and socks were black after just a few hours of being there. Other than that everything was great.
We enjoyed Venice great location to beach and city. We highly recommend farmers market on Saturday downtown.

Great Location
Everything was good, except the place was EXTREMELY dusty! My son has allergies and it was very difficult for him to breathe without using his inhaler and the rest of us were starting to sneeze and cough as well. Underneath the furniture doesn’t look like it has ever been cleaned, however the place overall was nice and tidy, just dusty. The location was perfect, only a few minute walk to the beach, and the screened in porch was very big. The kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry room was supplied with detergent. Thank you for our stay!
All the comforts of home in a beautiful neighborhood! Super close to the beach and the downtown area. Outstanding host communication. We would definitely stay here again.
Located near beach, town, and town park, but NOT too close to any of the above. Which meant a nice, quiet neighborhood. Nice to be able to park in the shade. Would definitely stay here again.
The accomodations were really good and the location just a short walk to the beach. The weather and surf conditions weren't as good as we had wanted but that is not in anyone's control. There were some nice shops to go to on Venice Ave.
Super cute property that is close to the beach. Our 4 & 6 year old could easily make the 1 block walk :). Beach toys were a bonus and we found some shark teeth with the sifter that was available. Great stay and easy to text property manager with questions.

great location
The place is clean and a great location. I attempted to contact the property manager and received voicemail with no opportunity to leave a message. The kitchen sink has a leak and the second bathroom toilet did not flush.
Might lack in curb appeal but inside was quite spacious and very comfortable. King bed was comfortable. Delighted to see a stackable washer and dryer..1/2 block to beach and a nice 20 min walk down the esplanade to town.kitchen well equipped.
The location of the property was perfect. Truly was just steps from the beach. The size of the unit was great and was exactly as advertised. Communication was excellent. Beach was amazing and loved the small town feel of Venice. Lots of beach toys etc for us to use which was very convenient. Night and Day compared to some place like Destin. We could go out to the beach at anytime and easily find a spot to put the umbrellas and relax. We will not only be back but will bring others to rent out the other units as well.

Great location
Great location, but check in process was difficult as we never received the check in procedures and key code. Also, the vents and fans were very dusty and dirty so it caused some allergy issues. This condo had everything you need and walking distance t o the beach.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The cooking dishes pots pans strainer toaster and refrigerator rack were all rusted thus unusable!! The oven was terriblely dirty with oil at the base. The minute it was turned on it gave a burnt smell impossible to use!! The AC didn’t cool the bedrooms. The living room floor wasn’t swept. The host never responded to our messages. Overall communication was poor I.e none!! It’s a shame because the location and the neighborhood is beautiful!
We enjoyed our week at this 2-bedroom condo! Loved our walks to the beautiful beach about 300 yards away. Great for evening sunsets!
Bedding in the master was dated and could use a refresh. And the walls were not very soundproof.
Lots to do in downtown Venice within walking distance-- (about a mile.)

Underwhelming
Not very clean outside as in pressure wash the areas around the entrance once in a while,and the inside has not been cleaned in the hard to reach areas in a long time.Under beds,fans etc. Pots and pans non stick in bad shape,pasta pot rusty,leaking g kitchen faucet,piezo starter doesn't spark for grill.I am sure you get the idea.I stayed here a few years ago when it was fresh and had no issues.Property manager needs to visit this place.Unfortunately there is not a lot of selection on Venice Island especially last minute like we needed.I have had rental properties in the past and realize you can't have everything 100 percent always but there are too many things that were not right.
Check-in and check-out was super easy. The apartment was well stocked with garbage bags, toilet paper, etc.. Unfortunately , the tile floor was dirty. The bottoms of our feet were black from walking barefoot in the apartment from very first afternoon we arrived. After that, we had to wear something on our feet at all times. The host could have been more attentive in that it took a while to get a response to our request/questions.
Love the property 4th time staying here we do all of our cooking In the room need some updated frying pans but other than that was ideal

Venice Beach area is nice
The Area was nice to walk, beach was just up the road. Disappointed in the Condo. Kitchen cabinets/ under sink, old & outdated. Doesnt look like drawers have been cleaned. Oven was dirty. One of the vertical blinds was broken. wires were showing on fan light in 2nd bedroom, & flashed when we turned it on, so we let the property manager know. Our half view was blocked by another building in front of us, which was part of our villa too, but not much view. We would not stay there again.
My husband and I love Venice. We love the slower pace of life, the lazy beach days and walks downtown. What we loved most about this villa was the location. It is a short walk to the beach and a short walk downtown - we enjoy being outside and getting our steps in, so for us this was perfect. Some reviews said they thought the beach would be closer, which we did too - but that was more because the Google View shows a different villa, not VRBOs fault. The villa was stocked with all essentials and beach toys, and a wagon which was pretty fantastic!The villa was as pictured. The screened balcony was nice to have for morning coffee/breakfast and a good book. The host was available to help us when needed and replied quickly - I lost our check in information and began to panic the day before. Crisis was adverted rather quickly and I was grateful!One complaint, and this is why I gave 4 out of 5 stars - the mattress was AWFUL. Lumpy and old - or it seemed that way. My husband and I both didn’t sleep great. Highly recommend these be replaced in the near future. Other than the bed, we had a great stay! Thank you!
