We had a great Christmas stay at this property in South Venice, visiting my parents for the holidays. Everything we needed to cook for a Christmas meal was there. The beds were comfortable, and linens and towels were plentiful. The pool and yard were exactly as pictured, and we loved spending time there after a day with family. It was an easy drive to Shamrock Park, where we went for walks and okayed tennis (with our own racquets).The only cons to this place, and these are very minor, are the clutter (so many beautiful items decorating every room, but it was a bit much for us), and a few things needing update- the bikes, the sound system (amazing speakers in the yard but no way to use Bluetooth that I could figure out), and the coffee pot. None of this interfered with our stay though, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We would definitely stay here again.
