Not worth the stay
Overall the property was clean, furniture is outdated, but clean. Pool area was nice. Outside of property was definitely not the same as what the pictures depict. Landscaping was dead and there were dead bugs stuck all over the entrances. The biggest issue is that the air conditioning was not cooling the house. We arrived at 10pm and the inside temp was 83. We set the thermostat to 72 and there was no cold air blowing from the vents. So we decided to stay in a hotel for the night, came back the next morning at 9am and the inside temp only went down to 79. We made several attempts to discuss this with the owner, but the owner did not believe us, even though we had pictures and videos and called us liars several times. The owner was rude and unwilling to resolve the problem. We've been renting from VRBO for over 5 years and have never had such a bad experience. I'm sure the owner is going to say something negative about us in a response, but my review is based on facts.

This was our second stay at this property. We had a great time! The property had all the necessities and then some and the location is very convenient. Whenever we were not at the beach we enjoyed the pool and bird watching. Absolutely will plan to book again in the future.

Disappointed
We were very disappointed to find out that this house was not a 3 bedroom but really a 2 bedroom house! The 3rd room is not a bedroom ( does not have a closet) but is instead a den that is connected to the master bedroom with a sliding glass door to separate the two rooms! This actual room doesn’t have a bed but has an old sleeper sofa with a very uncomfortable thin mattress on it and didn’t have bed sheets for it so we had to improvised!! The blinds on the slinging door are missing/broken so no real privacy there either! Not to mention that our bed sheets had stains on them! They were clean but had big red stains that didn’t come out after washing them. The sliding glass door in the kitchen is literally missing the handle that we actually found in one the kitchen cabinet drawer. Light bulbs on lamps were out and I didn’t feel like it was my responsibility to take care of it! This property is to me not well kept as described on the website. I think someone should check the maintenance of the house before guests arrive to make sure that everything is working and in order!

House is in a nice location
The house was Ok. The furniture is old and the house is in need of repairs. TV was spotty which frustrated my husband. The orange plastic fence around the pool killed the vibe. It just needs comfy furniture that will fit a group of four and good internet and cable. Just a little TLC and it would be a great place.

I discussed our concerns with the owner and VRBO support when we refused to check-in upon arrival. There was hurricane damage to the lanai. The pool was filthy. I would not recommend staying at this property.

Clean and comfortable
The home is older but was clean and comfortable and the owner was very responsive when needed. Venice is a great place and this house is close to everything. Unfortunately hurricane Ian destroyed the pool cage and it's awaiting installation which friends have told me takes months. It's no fault of the owner but that took away from the outdoor enjoyment. Some new lounge chairs for the lanai would also be helpful .

Pool issues
We selected this property primarily based on the pool and the photos of the pool vista. When we arrived we found the pool heater out of commission and the pool shelter removed. Refunding the heating fees does not fairly compensate for what we felt was an impaired property. We completely understand the shelter was hurricane related damage. But there has been plenty of time to amend the listing to note pool is not as depicted in photos.

Birds!
This rental is on a bird sanctuary. If you’re a bird nerd, you’ll love this place. I would highly recommend bringing binoculars for bird watching if that’s your thing. Lots of bird books around the house for reference. This house is located in a residential area rather than tourist area. It was close to everything via car. It was wonderful to have the private pool to relax at the end of a busy day.

Great Location and View!
Cute house that felt spacious and open with the sliders to the lanai and pool. Loved the privacy fences and the kids were in the pool ALL day and ALL night. Close to public beaches and eating options. Host was responsive to a small issue with the fridge and had a back up on hand in the garage which was helpful. It would be helpful to have understood the layout of the 3rd bedroom being just off of the master bedroom but it all worked out fine. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

My family very much enjoyed our stay at this property! The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the pool and lake very much. Outside by the pool enjoying the view of the lake and all of the wildlife was the perfect spot to drink our morning coffee. Quick drive to local beaches and food/grocery shopping. Great spot! Hope to visit again next year.

Friends Getaway
Overall a good visit. We were 2 couples, the set up for the queen pull out was not ideal as it was a glass sliding door from the master bed room. We stayed in the twin beds. The owner of the property was very helpful when we contacted him on a few things. They were taken care of. Our favorite part was sitting out on the lanai in the mornings while watching the wild life chatting.

Just Right
We were so happy to spend time together as a family since the pandemic it has been a while. We really enjoyed having a pool with the canal view, especially since there was a red tide. So glad we did not book on the beach. This location is just a couple miles from the beach and the village of Venice. There was lot's of wild life, birds, lizards, and we even saw a baby alligator. It is a quiet neighborhood with a mini mall up the road that has everything you may need that you forgot. Although, the house was completely supplied with all that you need. Thank you. It was really a lovely time. Best, Karen
