The house was great, clean & everything I needed was there. Coffee, towels, kitchen utensils, beach chairs etc. it was close to Manasota beach, stores & restaurants. The only slight problem was getting in to the house because of the locking device. Kate was available immediately & the problem was addressed. It was difficult because I didn’t understand the mechanics behind it. My nephew & granddaughter loved the Mr. PAC Man game. Yes I would stay there again & recommend this property to anyone. I stayed at the property 2 weeks & hope to return soon on my next trip to Florida!

We were very upset to be told, the day before we occupied the house that we would have to boil all our water for the next month. We think it outrageous that we learned this when it was too late to make other plans. Never to use vrbo again.

Excellent rental for our Venice Vacay!

We were newbies vacationing in the area. Prior to our visit the hosts readily answered questions we had. The property is clean, updated, and incorporated many thoughtful details. Sand toys, beach chairs, & towels, a cooler, & umbrella are all provided with the rental, which made our packing much easier! Location is excellent- a quiet residential neighborhood with every amenity you could possibly need within short driving distance. And so many fabulous beaches to choose from, all within a reasonable drive (and with adequate parking and restrooms!). The hosts were attentive and responsive throughout our stay. We will most certainly book again!
