Not as expected

First off, the pictures are not at all what the property looks like. The musty and mildew smell is still lingering on all of my washed clothing. Our pet we brought kept finding dead roaches under the beds and there were lots of dust bunnies behind the doors and under beds as well. There is also a hole in the wood flooring I continually stepped in and stubbed my toes on. If you plan to stay here make sure to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels. There was a tiny portion of toilet paper left for the duration of 3 nights. Overall, would not stay again!

Property manager ranks a "0" rating

The host/ property manager is poorly equipped with the skills necessary to perform the job. During our 9-night stay, we exchanged several texts and calls over 6 of the days, however, she never ONCE offered to stop by to offer assistance. In fact, her attitude came across as someone who was annoyed that we were bothering her. Most troublesome was the electronic lock on the door that malfunctioned many times, causing delays when we were going out. The unit worked sporadically so we never knew when we were going to have an issue. The first time it malfunctioned, it took the host over 3 hours to text us back. Some other comments from the host concerning the lockbox were along the lines of: “why did you wait until now to call” “the unit has rechargeable batteries and there’s a recharger SOMEWHERE in the house” (In fact, the batteries were not rechargeable and we never saw a recharging unit.) “I am at work now and cannot get to the house” – when asked what time she could make it, she said “I can’t give you a time.” Eventually, she said it would be at least 2 hours. I asked if there was a physical key for either door to the property, and the host replied “there are no keys for the house.” Oddly, there’s a contractor’s lockbox on the door rail which we thought may contain keys; otherwise, why is that lockbox on the door rail? We left at 9:36 a.m. on Sat 12/09/2023 and informed the property manager once again that the lockbox was not working - no reply from the mgr.

About the host

Hosted by Kayla

I've owned a small business in Venice for years. Fell in love with the city and now own multiple airbnb properties. Venice is my favorite city to visit in Florida. We take pride in our properties and are continually updating them.

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1926. Still has many of the features of a 1926 Florida home. House is very private, cozy, and in a phenomenal location. Half mile from Venice Island and a mile from Venice Beach.
