About this property
Artist owned home near beaches
Clean and comfortable house close to the beaches (5 minutes if the traffic lights are in your favor). Working from home? We have WIFI and a desk and desk chair. Split floor house plan. House has two master suites. The tiki room in the back of the house is full of fun art and decorations. The property Includes a large fenced-in backyard with beautiful live oak trees and an outdoor shower. The shower has running hot and cold water and is perfect after a sandy day at the beach or for scuba divers. The backyard is private and has space for your dog to run. Our new deck is wonderful for coffee in the morning, grilling outdoors or just enjoying those cold beverages. Rent includes the use of bikes and kayaks, lifejackets, and paddles. You will be close to Shamrock Park, many free beaches and within walking distance of the Venetian Waterway Park Trail.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Pflanzer
Hi, my name is Julie and my husband is John. We are the proud owners of 497 Zephyr and really love Florida! It shows in a lot of the art we have created and used to decorate our Zephyr rental.
We are recent empty nesters. Our baby just graduated college but our fur babies still live with us. We have two large dogs. Their names are Durzo who is a St. Bernard/Shepard mix and a big lover and Zoe who is a goofy Great Dane. We welcome you and your dogs too!
Since this is our first time doing vacation rentals please let me know if there is something we can help with or that we didn't do right. I want to make your stay enjoyable.

Why they chose this property
We were down visiting family around Christmas, renting a VRBO ourselves and walked past this property. We both fell in love with the yard. It wasn't for sale at the time but was listed shortly there after. We finally made it down to take a look at it and loved the fact that it has a split floor plan! Then we walked around in the back yard and felt really at home. That was that. Decision made. The rest is history.
What makes this property unique
There are a lot of benefits in this community. There are so many nice beaches. If you like to boat or kayak there are many boat launches. Bird watching is fun. Taking a walk on Sharkey's Pier. Trying all the fantastic restaurants in the area. Going shopping in quant little downtown Venice. Bicycle trails are all over. So many things to do, see and taste!
