Everything worked for me except the well water. I lived in Florida almost all my life and there is no reason not to put an aerator on the water supply to remove the smell and taste .

Perfect location

I was in town for work and this studio was in the absolute best location for me. 20 minutes from work and family and only few minutes to downtown Venice. The studio was in a perfect location. It's in a very quaint little neighborhood. It was very clean and the property taken care of. Laurie reached out a few times to make sure my stay was going well. She was very attentive to her guest. I will 100% be booking here agian for my trips.

A great place for one

Loved this studio! It is cozy and has everything and more needed for the stay. Clean, recently updated, private. Never heard a sound. Location is great for Venice. Two people can stay here but it seemed better for one. Laurie was a gracious host and provided all that was needed. Great with communication. I’ll definitely be back when I come back to Venice. Thank you!

Sweet Dreams

Laurie has done a great job of turning a studio-sized space into an efficient living area. It had everything we needed for our two-night stay. Laurie was quick to respond, and the instructions were clear. The bed was super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud! It was the best night’s sleep I had had during my whole trip.

About the host

Host profile image
I have always enjoyed taking care of people the same way I would like. I pay attention to details, small and big because it matters to me that you enjoy every aspect of your stay and have a relaxing and enjoyable time while staying in Lucy's Studio.

I currently work remotely and I am easy to reach via text.

Why they chose this property

Lucy's Studio is located in quiet and friendly suburban neighborhood. It is close to the beach, great shopping, fine and casual dining, brand stores, many outstanding golf courses, and other points of interest.
Several Parks are within walking distance. There are always people waking their dogs but I have yet to be woken at night from the sound of a barking dog and I sleep with my windows open when the weather permits.

What makes this property unique

Lucy's Studio is perfect for those looking for a weekend getaway, business trip or long term stay.

Laurie draws on her memories from treasured holidays and applies that to Lucy's Studio to ensure all the little things are covered and her guests can focus on what is most important to them during their stay.

Laurie is sensitive to the needs of the travelling business person from her own experience and has considered and included every possible need and convenience a business person may need to be productive in a relaxing atmosphere.
Lucy's Studio, though packed with amenties, is not cluttered, but comfortable and efficient.

Laurie is easily accessible by text and lives on the property enabling her to ensure the needs of her guests are always met.
