Nice property with great location.
We stayed here for the month of March 2025 and had a wonderful time. The location was perfect as we were close to a local dog park and Brohard Paw Park on the beach and very close to downtown Venice.Loved the large open concept of the kitchen and living room with large flat screen TV. Also has a separate dining area which we used when friends visited us.The lanai/pool area is very nice with hot tub(took a while to figure out how to get it to heat up). The lanai backs onto the Preserve which is very nice and quiet. Kitchen had everything we needed except for a kettle to boil water for tea. BBQ is old fashion manual charcoal grill which worked well but lacked the convenience of a propane grill.There was an issue with the water having a very strong sulphur/rotten egg smell. Especially in the shower. We contacted the host who did arrange for a technician to inspect the water treatment system but did not fix the problem. He even mentioned he had been there in the past for the same problem. We also noticed mold in the hot tub when we arrived but was cleaned up after we showed it to the pool cleaners.Overall, we enjoyed out stay but the strong sulphur water smell was difficult to ignore and did change our overall impression of the property. If not for the sulphur issue, we would definitely stay here again.
