The age old saying "Location, Location, Location" most definitely applies when it comes to "The Pearl." My Pop and I were looking for the ideal place to stay during our Venice fishing trip. "The Pearl" certainly fit the bill! It was clean, spacious and comfortable. Johnny was very accommodating and responded to my questions immediately. Our fishing guide even picked us up in the morning right off the back deck of the houseboat! We are already counting the weeks until we can get back down to Venice again for some more great fishing and hopefully another stay in "The Pearl!"John D.

Have stayed on two separate occasions for fishing trips. Good communication and clean. Almost like having your own private dock due to location.

weekend fishing trip

Enjoyed the Pearl, beds were comfy, view was to die for and we enjoyed walking up to see all the fish coming in. If I had a suggestion would be some chairs /rockers on the back deck...... I would probably never leave if they did. Brand new gas grill worked liked a charm , ice machine was a beast . Will stay again we hope very soon

Great Camp in Venice Marina

Great stay at The Pearl in Venice Marina. Place was well appointed, super clean and conveniently located on B Dock, just a short walk to the marina. Commercial grade AC unit was a lifesaver to keep us comfortable despite the heat and humidity outdoors. Johnny, the host, was incredibly responsive with check in and check out instructions. I'd highly recommend this place if you are doing an adventure out of Venice!

Georgia Boys and the Pearl

Group of 9 friends from North Georgia. This is our 6th year coming to Venice. Plenty of pace. 2 full bathrooms is a must for us. Great ice machine. Decent hang out area out back. Great fish cleaning station. There isn’t a long dock sticking straight out like the pictures show but we had a 24ft on the front and 26 ft on the side with easy room for another 26ft on the side. Over all this is the best spot we have stayed at in the marina and will be back next year !!!
