First... the home owner was great to work with. Jim was responsive to every question I had, communication was quick, friendly and on point. He helped make the stay as good as it was.
Second... the neighbors were great. Very friendly, very helpful in understanding little things about the neighborhood, garbage collection, etc...
Now about the house... it was exactly as pictured. The layout is perfect. A bedroom with ensuite bath on either side of the house, with an open floor plan living area between them. Very spacious, very comfortable and extremely well appointed. They had everything we needed while there. One of the most well stocked homes we have stayed at. From bicycles, to beach chairs, umbrellas, to pool floats. And the kitchen had everything we could have needed and than some.
I would recommend this property and will look to stay there again in the future if going to the Venice area.
