I recently spent four days and three nights at a property in Venice Beach, FL, and overall, it was a memorable experience with my family celebrating my dad's 73rd birthday. The location was fantastic, with just a five-minute walk to the beach, making it convenient for us to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean breeze. Unfortunately my dad was not able to make this short walk. However, there was a public parking available right at the beach entrance. We would just drive him over to enjoy the beach. The accommodation was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate six people, and the fact that it was pet-friendly was a huge plus for us.
One of the highlights was the inclusion of beach supplies, which made our time on the shore even more enjoyable. Additionally, the kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare some meals and save on dining expenses. The proximity to the lifeguard station made us feel safe, and the atmosphere was definitely family-friendly, perfect for quality time with loved ones.
However, there were a few downsides to our stay. The beds were uncomfortably firm for both myself and my guests, which affected our sleep quality a little bit. It was disappointing to find that towels were not provided, as this is a basic amenity that we expected to be included. Additionally, the loft area was quite narrow, making it a bit cramped and uncomfortable for adults.
Despite these minor issues, we were still able to make some great memories together as a family.
