Catfish House
We had a great trip to Venice. Catfish House was just what we needed. Clean, easy to get to, walking distance from the marina and the ice machine worked great. We’ll definitely stay there again.

Perfect location in Venice
Very clean- ice machine was so nice and handy. We never ran short of ice even w two boats and 6 people. We tied our boats up to the dock just outside of back door. Porch was perfectly positioned for the sunrise w coffee. Porch fan made sitting outside very comfortable in shade w temps in low 90’s. Great place to stay on water and watch boats come and go! One of the best boat houses in Venice.

Well equipped for fishing trip
Never see such a lean and new gas grill on all of the houseboats we been staying last 15 yrs. Working propane cooker is a plus for us to deep fry our fish outside.

Just OK
Need to provide an Ice maker. There weren't even trays in the freezer to make ice with.
There was a strong odor. Smelled like cat urine.

Pay a lot, get a little.
No hot water, no ice machine, infestation of roaches, toilet requied flushing with a pail of water.
Most camps here have ice machines that charge this much.
