Guest Reviews
- Tamara (10/5): Exceptional - I loved how close to the beach we were. The room was clean and quiet. It was a very relaxing stay.
- Laura (9/5): I enjoyed it very much. Close to everything...parks, groceries and restaurants and easy to get to. - Love, love love the location. Reminds me of Florida in the 70's. Steps from the beach. Uncrowded. Everyone very friendly. Hvac in the sunroom. Shower strainer cleaned more regularly.
- Regina (10/5): Very relaxing - The pool was large. The villa was cute. These villas are on the beach. It wasn’t crowded.
- Lindsay (10/5): Had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again. - Room was exceptionally clean. Bedroom was very spacious. Living room/kitchen a bit small but still easy to move around even when the pull out couch was out. Refrigerator was small but for just two nights we made it work. Very well stocked with linens, kitchen supplies, and beach gear. Pool was huge and perfect temperature after coming up from the beach. Beach was beautiful and we found so many shells and shark teeth. Would definitely stay here again and I have already recommended this place to my friend. Dining room table was too big for the area. Full beds were very small but that's my fault for not picking a room with a king bed.
- Brad (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect and the beach was beautiful.
- Choudhary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hawk (8/5): Very good - Proximity to the beach was perfect. It was a short walk from the villa. The kitchen area is quite small so we did very little of our own cooking.
- Jennifer (8/5): Venice Villas was a perfect location for our family FL vacation. - Location was close to everything, pool was huge and clean. Private beach was great for finding shark teeth and shells. Beds were a little too firm.
Bathroom shower curtain has mold on the bottom.
Not that big of a deal though. We had a great stay!
- Djd (10/5): I took my two grandchildren to the beach at the Villas and we enjoyed everything! Location of shopping was also AWSOME. - Located so close to the beach and pool. Two of our favorite things to do on vacation were easily accessible. It wasn’t the property we had many rainy days but loved our villa.
- Danielle (10/5): Highly recommend - Location, right near the ocean Really nothing to complain about!
- Elaine (10/5): Excellent stay. We’re planning on a return trip next year. - Great location for beaches and grocery store. Owner, Kevin, was very responsive. Can’t think of anything
- Gregg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roger (8/5): The location was good with very short walk to the beach. It was very private. - Short walk to the beach. Was very quite and private on the beach. Close to area stores. Bed was not comfortable for a taller person.
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good - Location and the space to have the living room/kitchen area. Beach was awesome! Unit could be updated...beds not great. Overall though, comfortable.
- Cassandra (10/5): Excellent - Had a great time, found plenty of sharks teeth, enjoyed the pool, everything was close by. The beach was difficult to navigate for folks over 60.
- Guy (7/5): Good -
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (10/5): Quick beach getaway for us that worked out perfectly with the Villa and location. - The Villa is located very close to the beach. An easy 1-2 min walk. Ans the Villa came with beach umbrella, folding chairs/lounge, wagon, cooler and shark teeth hunting tools. everything was included in the Villa manual including restaurants and happy hour listings. we could not have been any more pleased with the accommodations. There was not a negative item I could write about.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Old grouches beware lol - Owner communicated well. A little of a hassle that we scheduled everything around check in at 3 but it wasn’t until 4 and we didn’t find out until check in instructions were sent. The front door squeaked terribly. The shower barely spit water out of the faucet. The beach was a good bit from 23 and it was about half way between the pool and the beach. The beds were not great. Both sank in the middle. Fridge didn’t really cool well. Coffee pot not a kuerig so don’t get the pods. The beach was a strap drop down. We did not complain about any of the things listed so there was not an opportunity for them to fix it before we left. The good stuff. There were chairs and umbrellas to use that the beach. It was close to a publix and several places to eat. The condo was very clean. The shower was very roomy and helpful for handicap. The beach was not cramped since it is private. Only a few people at a time except at morning and sunset there are more people. Probably a great place for small young families.
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (10/5): Definately would like to return - Owner was very responsive. Everything was perfect
- Kali (9/5): Superb -
- Teresa (8/5): Nice, comfortable, reasonably clean place to stay near the beach. - Nice location. Reasonably clean. Missing some vertical blinds in bedroom. Porch door needs repair.
- Roberta (9/5): Nice and quiet area, would definitely return next year. - This villa had all of the amenities you could ask for. Very clean and comfy. Just a few steps from the beach. Sharkies restaurant right down the road.
we encountered one problem with the water, which was not the owner’s fault. He responded and took care of it immediately. Too hot in August to enjoy the sun porch, which looked very inviting.
- Cheryl (8/5): - The only feedback to provide to owners is that the beds and pillows need updating. Did not get a good night sleep any night of our stay.
- barbara van (10/5): - Beach access was awesome. The pool and laundry were pretty far away though.
- Richard E. (10/5): - Beautiful quiet private beach, excellent shelling & shark teeth hunting, friendly & helpful residents, walking distance to pier, easy biking to town, golf course & Caspersen State Park beach. SUPER LOCATION !
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The apartment unit is well equipped (three televisions!) and furnished. The king bed was quite comfortable and the neighborhood quiet at night. The outdoor pool was also quite nice and certainly large. The problem was the beach which was hit by red tide during our short stay. The sand was littered with dead fish and the smell was offensive. Sarasota County best get its act together or tourism to the area will plummet.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Location was great but unit we were staying in (#24) needs major renovations! Pool was very nice!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The location of the property is its biggest asset. On a private and lovely beach with gazebos that invite you to enjoy the sea breeze and the amazing sunset.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The unit was fine, had a few problems but they were corrected with a couple of hours. I really liked the quiet, property condition and location to the beach.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - PROS:
This unit is a one-minute walk to the beach.
Parking was by assigned space.
Unit was bug free.
Swimming pool was nice, with plenty of seating.
Laundry facilities on site were sufficient.
All appliances worked.
CONS:
I was surprised to discover that this rental was in a retirement community.
This unit is a time capsule of the 1980’s and is in serious need of updating. The only updated items in the unit were the refrigerator and pedestal sink in the bathroom.
The front door has serious wood rot throughout and would benefit greatly from a fresh coat of paint, if not a replacement.
It was next to impossible to read while inside the unit, as the lighting throughout is extremely minimal (both lamps and windows combined).
Whoever the cleaning service is, needs to do a much better job of cleaning. We arrived to burnt-on food on the foil lined burner pans and the floors were in serious need of a good vacuuming and mopping. The areas under the kitchen table as well as the coffee table have not been cleaned at all in quite some time.
NEUTRAL:
The queen sized bed was okay – on the border of being worn out, whereas the pull-out sofa was surprisingly comfortable.
BEACH:
The gulf waters are gorgeous, and this is a great place to find shark teeth. However, this is not a beach for younger children as it has a very sharp drop off on both the sand and in the water. The sand is also very coarse and grey.
- William (10/5): - Comfortable, clean and plenty of room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved this location! Just a short walk to the beach, clean and was perfect for our family’s weekend adventure! They had all the beach amenities (umbrellas, sand pails, sifters to find shark teeth etc) which was a huge bonus. We would totally stay here again!
- Raymond (10/5): Great weekend getaway! - The Villa is a perfect getaway. Only steps from the beach, it was clean, came with all the necessary kitchenware and beach equipment in case you left something at home. There is a very nice swimming pool and grilling area which we took full advantage of after spending the day on the beach. It's a private beach in a residential area so no hotels or traffic to contend with. The one downside would be you have to drive a bit if you want to go out to eat or pick up some suntan lotion.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A LITTLE WALK TO TGHE BEACH BUT THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM
- David (10/5): 4th getaway - Very comfortable, close to beach, has everything u need for a great stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - comfortable beds, large screened in lanai, nice courtyard
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great quiet location and a clean as advertised place.
- Brandie (10/5): Humble - I loved the condo, felt right at home!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location on a super quiet beach! Other than the king bed, there was not a good sleeping plac
- Brenda (10/5): Clean, Comfortable, Reasonable Price, Quiet Area - Met my daughter and her family at Venice Villas. We stayed in Unit 46 which is a house and not beachfront or directly on the beach, but just a short walk. This is a small community consisting of a couple houses, a couple of hotel/motel style buildings, and several villas (pictured in listing) some of which are beachfront. All units are a very short walk to the private beach access which includes beach & lawn chairs for community use. The pool was undergoing a last minute renovation, but the owner was kind enough to call and let us know prior to arrival. Unit 46 is dated and could use some painting, but well worth the price. it was clean, spacious, and included lots of extras (beach umbrellas, laundry detergent, completely furnished kitchen including small appliances, dishes, pans, dishwasher, trash bags) which made our stay quite comfy. This area is super quiet and yet there are several shops and local restaurants nearby. Beach is not the white sand FL is known for, more silty. Also, you will need to watch children extra carefully. The water is like steps, walk a few feet, drops a foot, walk a few feet drops a foot. Still we had a wonderful w/e with the family. I would consider staying here again if in the area.
