House South Venice, 5 's for a reason - comfortable @ the heart of Florida Life

sift the sands for shark teeth by The Fishing Pier, browse the shops of historic Venice, bike a local trail or two, take a dip in our private pool, then meander right back to Venice Beach for a fabulous dinner at Sharkey's On The Pier. Later, you can go back in our pool for a moon~drenched swim

That's just Day 1...

Breeze up to Siesta Key Beach, the best beach in America, for Drum Circle on Sundays to celebrate life with the setting sun. This is a must see event, free and open to all...

Enjoy seeing egrets in the yard in the morning and scan the afternoon skies for a glimpse of osprey settling down at dusk...natural beauty abounds. House South Venice is just two hours north of Everglades City, an hour south of Tampa Bay. This is the place to just up soak up the peace and magic of Florida Life.

We can be flexible, so feel free to ask for thoughts, wishes and needs.
After our first season, we are 5-star only in the reviews.

Time with grandson in Venice FL
Nice neighborhood, accommodating and welcoming home. Centrally located to beaches and attractions. Fritz the manager was awesome, quick to respond to all inquiries and fully intent on improving every aspect of your stay! Dakota the housekeeper does a great job keeping the entire property clean and prepared for your arrival. Home tastefully decorated in beach theme. Pool was the focal point for our family! Screened in enclosure makes time spent outside enjoyable. Fence backyard a plus for pets! Absolutely everything you could ask for is provided; a home away from home. So many personal touches made our stay so enjoyable. Can’t say enough about how wonderful this property and manager are!!

Perfect!!
Our vacation rental was nothing but amazing! VERY clean! Response time was great. Location was close to restaurants and not far from the beach. The host provided everything needed for our stay. From items for the beach, to our night swims in the pool, we didn’t have to pack extra items that are a hassle. Everything in the home was labeled so there was not any confusion. We travel to Florida every year and I think that we’ve found the perfect rental for our future stays. Highly, highly recommend.

Old Florida Charm
My daughter and I selected the location based upon close proximity to family in the area and glad we did. Fritz was wonderful to work with, flexible and very responsive. The location is close to shopping, beaches, and downtown Venice. Neighborhood is very quiet and the place is very clean and nicely decorated. The pool was a nice touch since it was pretty warm in late May. As stated in another review, we have rented multiple locations over the years and this was not only very clean but truly felt like staying in someone’s home vs. sterile rental. Fritz truly takes pride in offering the place to rent and no details were overlooked. Would consider renting again on a longer term when the need arises.

Great Location
We had a great stay. The house was lovely. Having the pool was great. And the house is close to everything: beaches, walking trails, downtown Venice, restaurants and shopping. And the neighborhood is quiet. Fritz was very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome.

Spring break 2024
The house was very welcoming. Would stay longer if we could. Will rent again our next trip to Venice area. The extra bonus was the pool! The washer and dryer was 2nd !! Home owner went the extra step and put up some birthday decorations and a sweet card for my 60th birthday. Doesn't get any better than that!! PRICELESS

Very nice comfortable family home
Only problem we had was tv didn’t have all the shows our daughter liked. Nice family home, quiet neighborhood. Clean, large pool. Would have liked to have a hot tub because it was really not warm weather for a pool. Nice family home with plenty of furniture that was in good shape. Had great time.

Great Stay
I think we were one of the first families to enjoy this rental property, so in some ways we, by default, were testing his systems and procedures. Every step of the way from finding and booking the property to checking out was smooth. Fritz, the owner, has carefully thought through every detail for what his guests may need. I thoroughly enjoyed the labels on all the cabinets and light switches. The property was clean, well organized, and homey…not like the sterile and cold-feeling vibes of some of the other styles. Staying here felt like I was staying in someone’s home, not a rental property at all. The location is close to several wonderful beaches and all the major shopping needs. My only concern was some of the nearby neighbors and how run-down some of their properties were. The street this property is located on is just fine though and everything about this home was in tip-top shape. No concerns there. What makes this property quite possibly one of the best we’ve ever used, is how the owner was available to help at every moment’s notice. Fritz has partnered with all the appropriate services (property management and pool management companies) to ensure every detail of the renting experience is clean and great. He is kind, trusting, and accommodating. Will definitely try to book this property again when we come back to Venice. I think it’s only a matter of time until he becomes a Super Host. Thank you, Fritz, for the great visit!
