About the host

Hosted by Kathy Smith

Host profile image
Our family are long term Florida Residents and have enjoyed growing up and living in the Venice Area.

Why they chose this property

We chose to build this home here because of the unique area. It has the convenience of being near the amenities of a city yet has a rural feel as soon as you turn off the main road. It is a quaint area that is the last unspoiled beach in Sarasota County.
