About the host

Hosted by Michelle Harbison

Host profile image
I am a kindergarten teacher in KY. I have taught Kindergarten for 27 years and love my job. I can't wait to retire to Venice and enjoy the beaches, lifestyle and great weather year-round.

Why they chose this property

I love the Venice area and can't wait to spend time there when I retire. The beaches are gorgeous, the people are friendly, and you can enjoy the outdoors year-round. I chose this neighborhood because it is conveniently located to numerous beaches and close to shopping and restaurants, yet it is SO quiet and feels very private.

What makes this property unique

The location and convenience are stand-out features of my home. It is also very well appointed with everything you may need to have a relaxing vacation. I communicate with my guests to make certain the home meets their expectations. I love coming home after a day at the beach and taking a relaxing dip in the pool. The split floor plan provides privacy but also space for all your needs.
