Highly recommend!

This was a great condo for my weekend girls trip. Karen was a wonderful host and even made sure we had a few shark's teeth to begin our weekend of hunting! The condo was clean and exactly as described. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach and a very short walk to the downtown area. Comfy bed and sofa, great wifi, nice channel selection, and a shower with excellent water pressure... what more could you ask for!? My only suggestion would be to maybe add a solid curtain to the sliding door instead of just the sheer, but that's really just personal preference. Everything was great and I would definitely stay here again!

Delightful Historic Venice Florida Condo

The condo is exactly where you need to be to experience all Venice has to offer. 1 block from the beach; the short walk to the historic downtown shopping district is beautiful. My wife and I took our bicycle's down and enjoyed the bike friendly trails and streets. The owner Karen is extremely friendly and helpful and went out of her way to share her knowledge of the area with us. The conversation on the drive home always returned back to "let's do this again soon."

Coco palms

This property was just perfect. Comfortable, cozy and thoughtfully supplied with beach paraphernalia this end unit opens up to a shared patio with chairs and tables. The location is perfect as you can walk into town or down to the beach.

Excellent location!

We loved this cute, clean, comfortable condo in paradise! Perfectly located so close to the beach and a short walk to downtown. It was so nice to take our daily walks through the park under the shade of the banyan trees and palms! An added bonus was hunting for shark teeth at Casperson Beach just a short drive away! Great restaurants and shopping nearby too! We will definitely come back!

Great location

Everything was great and the place was well equipped. However, time for a new mattress. The beach chairs were new but park chairs, not beach and not comfortable. Add the mattress issue w/ chairs and our backs are not doing so well after 11 nights. The beach umbrella is only big enough for one person, not two. These small inexpensive changes and I would give it a 10! We would also go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect Place for a Perfect Area

Perfect? As close as possible on all fronts. The condo: I have never stayed in a rental before that was as pristine, neat and clean. Love the wicker furniture and the bed is very comfortable. A special plus is the new walk-in shower. The unit was fully stocked with everything you need and just a very short walk to the beach. Lots of great parks in the area, as well. Next trip to Venice, I will book this unit again if available.

First trip to Venice Beach

Karen, the owner, was an extremely invaluable part of our enjoyment on our first trip to Venice Beach. The home itself was perfect for my wife and myself, fairly large living space, fully equipped kitchen, ample sized bedroom with lots of storage and a relatively (appeared) new. well-equipped bathroom. The home has a delightful, shared, courtyard, is approximately a 2 block walk to the centre of town and a three-minute walk to the beach. Karen provided tremendous insight and we would, if we ever revisit the area, attempt to stay at this accommodation again.

Convenient base location puts all of Venice at your sandaltips!

This convenient, well-equipped one-bedroom condo has a completely updated interior and one of the best locations in the 12-unit complex - downstairs corner, with lots of windows, and just a step out to the bright and airy communal patio. Unit has beach towels, chairs, and small umbrella, good utensils for food prep, and coffee-making supplies. It's a very quick walk to Venice beach, where there is morning yoga and evening music. Great bike-riding, shopping, beaches, fishing, history and culture surround you in Venice, and this is a great place from which to make a day trip or just hang around and sit out and read on the patio or stroll to the beach. Love Venice and love this convenient and friendly place to stay for a couple or a single. FInally, Karen, the owner, is very responsive, should you have any concerns.

Perfect place in the sun

My husband and I stayed here for a week in January. What a wonderful condo! A perfect size for two, well laid out, lovely decor, and simply spotless. Karen was a great host, and provided everything for a terrific time in Venice. This condo is located within walking distance to the beach and the town. It is in a quiet location, which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend this rental!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kieppe

I am a retired quilting, garment constuction and hand embroidery teacher from East Lansing, MI. I have been coming to Venice, FL for as long as I remember as my grandfather built a home here in the early 50's. My parents lived in the same home and I with them full time from 2000 until their passing in 2009.
I returned to MI for a few years, but Venice drew me back and I now live in Venice. I've always been physically active, from running a marathon, skiing, tennis, boating and the usual Michigan and Fl activities.
Life's short... play hard.... :)

Why they chose this property

Being on Venice Island means you are a bit off the beaten track. While there are restauants everywhere, there is no fast food, 1 grocery store, 1 Walgreens. It's homey and quaint, with a beachy unhurried casual feel. Lots of walking and bike riding, sun bathing and smiling.

What makes this property unique

There is something special about being in a small town. Everyone is friendly, everything is within walking distance, it's tropical and I love it. The condo is homey but efficient and close to the water and town. What can i say.... it's paradise.
