About this property

Circle Drive Venice Island Pool Home a Short Walk To Your Own Private Beach!

Our Venice Island home is less than 2 blocks off the beach and has been a short term vacation rental for the past 14 years. Unlike many, we are a legally licensed and inspected City of Venice vacation rental.
The TLC is evident from the moment you arrive. Lush landscaping greets you as you pull in the driveway and the warm feeling of home continues as you walk through the front door. The sunken living room is well furnished with that tropical feel of Tommy Bahama tables, comfy loveseat and couch and a large TV for those quiet evenings at home. The kitchen is equipped with virtually everything you'll need to whip up that gourmet dinner which you can enjoy in your dining room or poolside in your private lanai. Three bedrooms await in the split plan layout. Located on one side of the house is the master suite which is comprised of a private water closet/shower/bath, a walk-in closet and a large vanity/sink area to prep for those evenings out or to just retire to your king size bed. On the opposite side of the house are two large bright bedrooms with a shared full bath in between. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, ceiling fans overhead and plenty of storage.

Enjoy Swimming? Spend your days at your own private heated pool or stroll a block and a half away to your own private beach - the choice is yours! Enjoy biking? Venice is full of great trails and paths that can take you all the way to Sarasota or if you like an easier, shorter pace then just amble your way around the island on the provided bikes. Enjoy walking? You can go south to Sharky's - one of the best Tiki Beach Bars in Florida - to enjoy that afternoon cocktail or walk north to Venice Avenue for lunch or that evening meal at one of the many restaurants. So many choices and so little time!

Caution: If you are not familiar with Venice, be sure you understand the difference between a Vacation Home on Venice Island and homes located off the Island of Venice that claim to be close to beaches and downtown Venice.

Enjoy your search and your vacation!

I booked this house for our annual girlfriend trip and we all absolutely loved this place. We came in August so the pool was a lifesaver. It was walkable to a private beach where we were often the only ones there. The beach chairs, wagon, and shark tooth sifters were used daily. Other popular beaches were only 5-15 minutes away. The beds were comfortable (not too hard nor too soft), the kitchen was well stocked, and there was a small work desk for someone like me who just can’t fully unplug from the office. They have a vacuum in the garage for cleaning your car (which was a necessity). This place is only a mile from historic downtown Venice and 4 minutes from the grocery store. Everything was close but the location was quiet and enjoyable. We loved it!

Feels Like Home

Recently stayed at this property. Great location out of the way with easy access to everything. Great Restaurants, walk to the beach, convenient access to Grocery store - Publix. I love this house and the owners are very accomodating. The only issue we had was it rained too much while we were there. The house is perfect for quality family time! I would recommend this location. We plan to return again next year !

Far exceeded our expectations!

The house is perfect! The right amount of space, comfortable, very clean, and had everything we needed. The pool is amazing! The beach access was so close and private. We only saw one couple at the beach two times during our stay. Other than the two times we had the beach all to ourselves. Having bikes available was nice for my teenagers to go out and explore. The house was close to everything. Nice, quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. Enjoyed staying here and will definitely try to make it back!!!

Best Vacation Rental Home

Just bring your toothbrush and a few changes of clothing because this home has everything you need! The home is in a small, quiet neighborhood with no thru traffic which adds more safety to the environment. The location is perfect, as traffic is drawn more towards the public access, though the town isn't overly populated anyway. The private beach access is just across the street, as a 5 minute walk or a 2 minute bike ride. During a holiday week, we were one of only 2 families on the entire beach and it was amazing! Dont worry about bringing beach chairs, a wagon, sand sifters, bikes, pool floats, coolers, or any other beach items, because this home has it all!The cleanliness of the home was immaculate, including the private pool out back!Some of the things we loved the most:-The beautiful landscape and private patio out back.-The window behind the kitchen sink that opens up to a bar outside by the pool.-Many areas for seating inside and outside.-The welcome book with property information. -The fully stocked kitchen, and then some (coffee filters, tin foil, trash bags, paper plates, etc.).-The showers were beautiful and had plenty of water pressure.The list goes on! If you are wondering if this home has something you need, its likely to be there somewhere! Also, don't be scared to leave a supply behind for the next guest to use, as we found this very helpful on several occasions.The communication with property owners was instant throughout the whole process!
Many sharks teeth can be found!

This was a well-appointed, well-kept home with a thoughtful eye for the details that help families settle in and feel comfortable. The hosts are kind and highly responsive. There were ample beach provisions including nice chairs, wagon, toys and great bikes ready to ride! The kitchen had everything you need with plenty of linens in the kitchen and baths. The pool was wonderful with an outdoor grill and dining area. Well located near a private beach entrance. Can't wait to come back!

Absolutely Awesome on Venice Island!

Love, love, love this house! Perfect location, easy walk or quick bike ride to a private access beach. House was well designed, fabulous lanai and pool. Just a great space! We biked and walked the dogs around a quiet neighborhood. So close to Sharky’s too! We will stay again.

Great location. Wonderful private beach. Ample beach accessories and bikes. Wonderful hosts. Could use some update/cleaning of living room furniture. Pool was nice, but a little bit cold even with solar cover, only got to about 82.7 degrees. Only one complaint about Venice area…constant noise from small aircraft’s flying overhead from nearby airport.

About the host

Hosted by John and Chris Wilson

Host profile image
We purchased this home in 2008 and after extensive renovations we spent 9 years enjoying this wonderful house as our winter Vacation Home. Like so many others, we totally fell in love with the Island of Venice and it's tropical lifestyle. Consequently, we moved to Venice permanently six years ago and now offer this home as an all season premium Vacation Home.

Why they chose this property

Prior to buying any home, we spent several vacations driving from Tampa down to Naples trying to pick the "perfect" spot to purchase our winter getaway. Needless to say, of all the Gulf locations we researched, we kept returning to this small, quaint and activity filled town that took our hearts away.

What makes this property unique

Venice has received several accolades in the last several years such as -
3rd Happiest City in America, 16th Most Affordable Small Sunny Town (266 sunny days), 4th Best Town to Live in Florida, 10th safest Mid-size City, 2nd Most Affordable West Coast Beach, Southern Living Magazine's Best Place to Retire, 11th Best Small Town to Visit in Florida, 21st Best Place to Live in U.S, Third Healthiest Region in Florida, 2nd Best Place in Florida to Retire, Expedia's Most Extraordinary Beaches in the World
