Beachy 3BR Retreat ~ Heated Pool & Fenced Yard ~ Pet Friendly! Star of Venice!

Welcome to The Star of Venice, your perfect home base for an unforgettable Florida vacation! This beautifully appointed South Venice retreat combines comfort, convenience, and coastal charm — just minutes from some of the best beaches on the Gulf Coast.

Whether you’re here to unwind by the pool, explore local trails, or enjoy sunset dinners by the beach, this home has everything you need for a truly relaxing stay.

🏡 The Home

Step inside and feel at ease in the open, beach-inspired living space. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and a split floor plan, everyone can enjoy comfort and privacy.

Outside, the screened lanai with a heated pool invites you to spend sunny days lounging, swimming, or dining al fresco. The fully fenced backyard offers peace and privacy — perfect for families or guests bringing pets (with approval).

🛏️ Rest & Recharge
• Master Suite: King bed with a plush Serta pillow-top mattress, walk-in shower, large closet, and private sliding doors to the pool.
• Second Bedroom: Queen bed with easy access to the pool bath.
• Third Bedroom: Twin-over-full bunk bed plus a dedicated workspace — ideal for kids, teens, or remote work.

All bedrooms include Roku TVs, ceiling fans, and comfortable bedding to help you rest easy after a fun day out.

🍳 Cook, Dine & Entertain

Whip up meals in the fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a reverse osmosis water dispenser, and plenty of storage. Enjoy family dinners in the spacious dining room or fire up the Weber gas grill for poolside barbecue nights.

Two sets of pocketing sliding glass doors open to the lanai — creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or simply enjoying the Florida breeze.

• Beaches: Manasota and Venice Beaches (10 minutes), Caspersen, Nokomis & Siesta Key (15–30 minutes)

About the host

Host profile image
I am a kindergarten teacher in KY. I have taught Kindergarten for 28 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.
