Dans le quartier de South Venice, cette maison de vacances vous place Ă moins de 5 km de Lemon Bay, Manasota Beach et Elite Health Venice. Zone d'observation ornithologique Venice Area Audubon Society est Ă 4,6 km de distance.
Overall a beautiful place and convenient location to walk to Manasota Key Beach and if you love biking, a short ride to Shamrock Park and the Venetian waterway trail and the Legacy trail. House was as advertised, well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Pool was fantastic, grandchildren loved it.
The kids loved the pool! House was amazing, with some outstanding facts. 1. Some black mold in the dining/kitchen area. ( I do have a photo) on the overhead light2. The house on the right side,has nothing but weeds. And it was dirty as you come inside front door.3. Lastly we saw two different snakes while there. Oops , I forgot the roaches.4. The garage was fixed up so beautifully. These are not serious issues, but some I think you would want addressed. P.S. I donât think you would want to let slide.
This house had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped. A garage with bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas are available. The pool was delightful. The location is great- the beach is a short bike ride away, and a short drive to Venice or Englewood. The house is very clean.furnished.
beautiful and spacious house. clean and fully equipped. The quiet and green surroundings make it a wonderful house to relax. lots of fun things to do in the area: the beaches, Preserves, Venice, St Armands Circle etc,
This was our second stay at this house in SW Venice. Just like our first stay, we had a great time. It was just the two of us, but because of the 3 bedroom open floor plan main living area, the house could easily accommodate a larger group. The house was clean and the pool was comfortably heated and maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware. The pool area is very private, with a high fence and tropical plants in back and unoccupied lots to either side. There were multiple beach chairs and umbrellas for trips to Manasota Key Beach (less than 10 minutes away by car) and beach towels as well. Washer and dryer worked fine. We love this part of South Venice as it has a more tropical, jungle-like feel from being so close to the Lemon Bay Preserve and the Intracoastal Waterway. As mentioned, Manasota Key Beach is close by, shopping on the Tamiami (Walmart, Publix, Target) is convenient as well, and we were able to get to and from the Venice beaches and downtown area in about 15 to 20 minutes depending on Tamiami traffic. We would definitely stay here again.
This was my second time staying here. Loved it. The pool was so nice, temperature was very comfortable. Beds are big enough and plenty of pillows and sheets available. Throw blankets for a movie night. Will definitely be coming back soon!
Very nice house and great location to many beaches.
Some houses in the neighborhood looked a little sketchy but it was a very quiet place. One disappointment after checking in was finding out that they no longer offered the daily pass for the ferry ride to the private beach. This was the main reason we booked this location because our daughter loves to hunt for shark teeth.
Checking in was seamless. I was able to communicate with Bud without any issues. There were plenty of linens, towels, dishes, 2 bikes to ride to Manasota Beach to watch the sunset. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, cooler for drinks, and an extra fridge in the garage for those who need it. The pool area was clean and enjoyable. This is the second time weâve stayed at a property managed by Bud so we knew what we were getting. We canât wait to go back again!
The house is located 7 miles from the main businesses. The house is located 20 minute walk or 6 minutes drive to the beach. The house is located on a residential road but the thing we liked about it is it is very quiet and peaceful. The house has a pool which we like so we went in after a day at the beach. Master bedroom was located on one side of the house and two rooms on the other side giving us privacy. Kitchen has all the amenities including washer and dryer. We walked every day and there is a walking patchy nearby. They also provided bicycles to ride around the neighborhood.
Property was beautiful and clean. Pool and other facilities were just great. Great location and nice neighborhood. Needs a better property manager -- listing states satelite/cable TV, but you only get streaming sling to watch. Called property manager but he seemed mostly clueless how to work the TV.
Bottom drawer of dishwasher broken and was supposed to be fixed during our stay but never was. TV missing from third bedroom Property manager said it was removed because it didn't work and was never replaced and stated he doesn't understand why a house needs so many TV's anyway. Seriously? Otherwise everything else was great! As I said, the property itself was very nice but it needs better management.
The house was a pictured: a bit dated, but comfortable and well-stocked. Two miles from Manasota Beach,which is beautiful, especially to watch the beautiful sunset. Only 20 min from lovely downtown Venice. Yoga on the beach with Erin every morning is a fabulous way to start the day.
The neighborhood is modest, but okay. Takes 10 min to get out of it with warren of streets.
No garage remotes, so we had to get out of car, go open up the house walk through it, and open garage door. Bud came over and tried to fix, couldn't, and said someone would come, but we were there a month, and no-one came. Also, pool was supposed to be 84, but pool guy said it wasn't heated. Bud said it was, but it was very cool.
Communication with Bud was slow, and he didn't respond at all to our last question. For $7,000 (+ fees bringing it to$10,000), I would have expected better communication and responsiveness.
This is the second time we have stayed there, and the experience was just as great. We are about 1 walking miles to the beach which is a great way to start the day. There is plenty of room to stretch out. There is a full kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, and dishes. The pool is at a perfect temperature which we used every day after going to the beach. The only downside we have is it takes 10 minutes to get to the main road, which is route 41, There is plenty of places to eat close by.
Der Aufenthalt war allgemein gut.Der Pool war nicht ganz gefĂŒllt wegen Undichtheit,was beim schwimmen ein Nachteil war. Die KĂŒche war unsauber besonders der Dampabzug.Master Bedroom war ok, Das Queenbed im 2.Zimmer war so wackelig,dass man immer das GefĂŒhl hatte es fĂ€llt gleich auseinander
Pitiful Refund After Evacuation Order for Hurricane Ian
We missed 6 out of 11 nights booked because of a mandatory evacuation order for hurricane Ian. The property manager apparently spoke with the owner who concluded, "There was no reason for you to leave as early as you did so you did not use four days out of eleven. ... so the owner said to split the difference. The tax on rents is 12% , 7% for State and 5% for county and I have no way to refund any of that as VRBO collects that and pays the appropriate agency. I also have no way to reimburse any fees collected by VRBO as they keep that portion."
My limited response:
1. There was an emergency, mandatory evacuation order that we received on our iPhones Monday evening 9/26/22. We obeyed it, packed up our stuff and went south that night and stayed at an Embassy Suites Hotel, arriving shortly before midnight. Therefore, the statement, "There was no reason for you to leave as early as you did so you did not use four days out of eleven.", is unreasonable in light of an emergency evacuation order. The comment is total speculation as it implies, we would be so clever as to know when to leave. We have observed what happened to people who did not obey the evacuation orders and or left too late. We did what the authorities mandated at the time they did so! The property owner / mgmt. implied we could have stayed 2 more nights with no credible facts to support that comment. We attached the map from Florida disaster alert, clearly marked in red = mandatory evacuation for all to see!
2. We therefore, did not stay at the property for 6 nights as we evacuated on 9/26/22. There is no way to escape this fact.
3. For the owner come to the idiotic conclusion that of the remaining 4 nights missed, we could 'split the difference', and then pay us for only 2 missed nights is therefore, without logical meaning except to unjustly enrich someone. There is no justification for this arbitrary behavior which is not actuarially sound.
4. Even for the last 2 nights, the refund was short of the per diem rate quoted! Not that this is what we deserved - it was far less. It just shows the inaccuracies of all these arbitrary machinations.
5. Vrbo has not intervened on our behalf either. Collecting
state and county tax for a rental that was not used for 6 nights is wrong.
Really enjoyed our stay even though it was short! The pool was perfect temperature and our family really enjoyed it. The house has everything you need and was very clean.
