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.

You will not be disappointed
This place is everything in the description, It's clean,well stocked with everything you will need. The house and furnishing seem to new and well taken care of,and also the beach chairs and tent are not wore out like other places We have stayed. The beach ferry is a short drive away and we pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves.

Clean, Spacious, and Convenient
My family of 6 adults (plus a newborn) had a great time staying at this home when we visited Florida. It has two sitting areas and a master suite with its own bathroom that was perfect for me, my husband, and newborn to sleep in. The house is also just a short drive to beaches and downtown Venice. And the owners were helpful and considerate and easy to work with. I will definitely stay here again during future visits.

The Villa Grande Was Exceptional
This house was spotless and tastefully decorated! The listing was accurate regarding location and amenities provided. The owners went out of their way to help us at the very last minute as we needed a place to stay ASAP after my father-in-law passed away. Their kindness was so very appreciated during this difficult time. We will certainly stay here again, and would recommend it to family and friends!

What's not to like
What a great place to stay while you visit and enjoy one of the hottest cities in Florida. Thank you Ruth for making us so comfortable in your home. Spacious and clean are two words that first come to mind. While there were only two of us, it's easy to see how perfect it is for families with children as well as pets. We really enjoyed our time in Venice. Look forward to next time

Traveling with two small dogs
The home was beautiful and very clean! There was a very warm welcoming basket and a notebook filled with very helpful information. We loved the fenced in back yard for our two small dogs. The ferry passes were great and all of the beach items were very useful. Also, they accommodated a very late request to book the home. Outstanding customer service! We plan to return as soon as possible.

Quaint house near the beach
The house is in a quiet little neighborhood that is ideal if your going to relax. Only minutes from the beach and we spent most our time at Manasota Beach where we found hundreds of sharks teeth. The house itself was very clean and minimal things needed to be done on our departure, which made it nice and easy for us. The free wifi and cable tv were a plus for days we just wanted to hang around the house as well as the grill outside for some burgers and hot dogs. The owners were pleasent and made sure if we had any questions they were answered in a timely manner. Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Awesome firsts with our pet
Our rental was the best part of this vacation! House was clean well stocked and right in the middle of everything (within a 5-10 min drive) First time we brought our dog with us and this house was literally perfect to accommodate. Owner had information on everything for both us and our pet. Found one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in and that was from literature in home. Unfortunately red tide was in and hurricane pushed us out early but that had nothing to do with this great property. Would come again - house set up perfect for more than one couple - lots of privacy,

A Grande Stay
From the outside, the house feels "Old South Florida", which is fitting for the area, but the inside is very modern, updated and clean. This house is very spacious for a 2 bedroom home. The living room opens to the dining rooom, which flows to a nice sitting area. The bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house but they don't feel that distant. With some rentals, you're lucky to get a small skillet and a plate or dish. There was a full array of skillets, pan, baking dishes/pans, a full set of plates, dishes, glasses, and silverware. There were even storage containers and a small variety of spices and seasonings. We also had robes for each of us, as well as a variety of toiletries. Ruth was very accommodating. We arrived nearly a full day before we were scheduled to check-in, so we contacted her (on a Sunday evening by email) to see if we could get in the house early. She responded quickly and made arrangements for us to check-in early. We will not hesitate to attempt to book this place when we need accommodations in the area again.

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!

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.

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 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
