Villa Grande - Spacious Tropical Home - Triple Lot Fenced Yard!

Our spacious Villa Grande home is located just minutes away from the popular Sharky's restaurant, downtown Venice and several fabulous *free* beaches.

A single story fully detached private home, the house has tile floors throughout and features a split design separating the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Many amenities are provided to make your vacation relaxing, including beach chairs, pool noodles, beach umbrella, beach towels, beach toys, shark's tooth strainer and two beach cruiser bicycles with front baskets.

Visit beautiful Venice Island. Shop, eat and enjoy the sunny Florida scenery. Venice, Florida is known as the 'Shark's Tooth Capital of the World' and your vacation paradise is only minutes from Caspersen Beach where you can scoop shark's teeth right out of the shallows. Don't worry, these teeth aren't new, they're prehistoric.

One side of Villa Grande features the master bedroom boasting a King size bed and a walk-in closet with plenty of room for your clothes. The master bathroom has a tub, shower, towel closet and plenty of counter space on the vanity. Feel extra pampered with the plush spa towels and spa robes provided for you during your stay.

On the other side of the home, a pocket door gives the second bedroom its own living area with access to a full second bathroom. The bedroom includes a Queen size bed and a roomy closet for all of those new 'Shark's Tooth Capital' t-shirts. The second bathroom has a spacious vanity top, large mirror and a large walk-in shower.

Also offered is one fold-out Simmons DreamSleep twin bed with very comfy memory foam mattress and a roomy Queen sized sofa bed with gel memory foam mattress in the Florida room.

The kitchen features a breakfast bar and is fully stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and updated appliances - including dishwasher. We also stock spices, coffee, salt, pepper, sugar and other basics that you don't have to buy at the store. We provide paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and some sample sizes of toothpaste, mouthwash etc so the only thing you need to shop for is perishable food that you'd like to cook at home.

The living room lets you sit back and relax between all of that hard work of laying on the beach and features a large flat screen TV with loads of HD cable channels and the ability to record your favorite shows while you are out. It also features super fast wireless internet access (free WiFi) for seamless Internet content streaming.

Throw open the French door to the tropical back yard and let the breeze pour in as you enjoy a little coffee or tea. Dine outside while enjoying the Florida sunshine under the palm trees while your kids or pets play in the fenced yard.

The garage is attached and includes automatic door control available for your use during your stay and full size washer and dryer for drying those wet bathing suits, washing those towels you were sitting on at the beach or getting your clothes cleaned of one adventure and ready for the next.

Villa Grande has ceiling fans throughout as well as central air and heating. Nearby is a heated outdoor Olympic pool at the Venice YMCA which has great daily, weekly or monthly rates to use the entire facility.

One feature which we believe sets our property apart from many others is that we use a keyless entry system and you are given a code to access the house which is individualized and never the same.

Venice is a very beautiful and laid back city and you're sure to meet other friendly people biking the Legacy Trail and walking as you take a stroll or walk your dog. The local area has several dog parks and Brohard Paw Park Dog Beach where your pooch can run free.

We now sanitize guest handled items such as TV remotes, garage opener, door knobs and light switches for added safety.

Overall, a great stay. Our family of 5 had plenty of space for our 5 day stay. We appreciated the extra blankets & pillows, and all of the beach towels and toys provided for our beach days. Check in and check out was very smooth and organized which was much appreciated!

We had a great visit!
The property was exceptionally clean, the check in was very easy. The owners, Dan and Ruth were immediately available to answer any questions. The owners have done an excellent job providing information about the area, things to do. We had all of the beach supplies that we needed, umbrella, chairs, beach towels, etc, etc. They have thought of everything! The home is full of natural light, very comfortable beds, nice towels, high end bed linens and very, very clean. The fenced back yard is big and was perfect for our small dog to run and chase lizards. I appreciate all of the owners attention to detail, we had a great time at Villa Grande!

Looking good Villa Grande
We certainly enjoyed our month stay in the Villa Grande home. Friendly, safe neighborhood near all attractions the area has to offer. Comfortable beds, large fenced area for our Scotty puppy to roam free. The owners/managers were terrific to work with during booking and our stay. We definitely would consider staying here again. Five Stars on this one!

Perfect!
We rented Ruth's house for 9 nights as an intern place to stay as we waited to close on our home during a cross-country move from Wisconsin to Florida. Not only was the house clean and welcoming it also was the perfect place for our dogs. We loved (and miss) the large, fenced backyard. Ruth was great about communicating and quick to assist when we needed to add days to our rental after already checking in. She was wonderful about responding to emails and quickly answered all questions we had. The house has a garage which was a lifesaver for us and the proximity to several gulf coast beaches was great. We loved exploring the local parks and beaches as well as being able to walk our dogs through the neighborhood each morning. This home was close to several groceries as well as shopping and recreation. I highly recommend Ruth's house and would stay again.

Great house and location in Venice
Great house and location in Venice Stayed in this house while I was waiting for my condo to close and had a terrific experience with the owner Ruth, she was always available to help and answer any questions I had. I had two cats with me and the house was extremely pet friendly. The location is terrific right off of 41 but far enough that you couldn’t hear any road noise but could easily get to things. Would definitely recommend short or long term rent

Great place to stay, especially if you are traveling with Fido.
We really enjoyed staying at the Villa Grande in Venice. We needed a place to stay that would accommodate our dogs. The fenced in back yard was great. The house itself was perfect for our stay. It was clean and well kept. It is in perfect location to get to anywhere in the Sarasota/Venice area. Ruth was great. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Clean, comfortable, all we needed
Our service dog, loved the fenced in yard, and the bag of dog treats that were left with the snacks on the kitchen counter, made all of us feel at home. It had more than enough space, and were lucky enough to find a place that offered us the rest and relation we needed. Manasota beach was a few minutes away, as were many restaurants. We will definitely book again. It was our first VRBO, and this stay has made us realize how uncomfortable hotels have become.
