Photos and Description of the Venice vacation house rental
2 Bedrooms + Sunroom - 2 Baths - (Sleeps 4)

Upon entering, guests are met with an open expanse of living area furnished in traditional light Florida colors and where entertainment is provided by big screen TV or audio system. The master bedroom King size bed welcomes the weary traveler home from sun filled days on the private beach or hikes on nature trails. The second bedroom boasts a queen size bed. The fully equipped kitchen is styled for entertaining or simple 'at home' meals and opens to a large dining area overlooking the heated pool and garden. This fully screened area nestles in a half acre of native Florida trees and ground covering and is totally secluded from neighboring properties. Patio furnishings allow for meals to be cooked and eaten outdoors if guests so choose.

Beaches and Parks and Sports: Magnificent sunsets can be viewed from no less than 5 stunning beaches all within 15 minutes or less from Olivia house. A six minute drive and the use of the pass provided allows our guests unlimited access to the ferry service which will carry them the short distance over inland waters to our own stunning private beach.

Just a few miles north, Myaka State Park offers nature, trail hiking,and bird watching. The more adventuresome may prefer gliding in an air boat up the Myaka River which provides a thrilling view of alligators abundant in their own habitat.

Golfing is a major interest and our guests will have difficulty in choosing from the numerous top rated courses available within easy reach of Olivia House.

Activities and Attractions: Our local bird sanctuary, Shamrock Park,offers four well maintained tennis courts, available seven days a week from early morning to sunset. Our guests are provided with two bicycles with which to enjoy the parks' paved bicycle paths, stretching for miles alongside the inland waterway. Walking routes are scatterd through the natural vegetation and a visitors centre provides information on the local birds, annimals and plant life.

Live theatre, waterfront restaurants such as Sharkey's on the beach or laid back local haunts featuring live music, all contribute to Venice being in the top ten list of best places to be in the United States of America. From antiquing to outlet malls, department stores to world class boutiques, shopping your style is all within easy reach. Our guest directory will ensure that you don't miss any of these special places.

The Perfect Place

Olivia house and the surroundings are cared for by wonderful people. They want to make your stay a delightful time. When our grandchildren were visiting they made sure we had infomation on things to do with them. The home is very clean and roomy. It is quiet yet close to golf, beach, eating out, and groceries. We definitely will be back!

Owner's Response: Mark and Pam, thanks for taking the time to write your review. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to know that our guests enjoyed their stay with us. I am so sorry that next year's dates were already booked and please be assured that we'd love to have you back again anytime !

A worry-free week in Florida

This house was everything I'd hoped it would be. The pool was great, and we found lots of pool toys in the garage. We took the bikes out around the quiet neighborhood one night. The beds and couches were comfortable. The back yard was beautiful. We cooked dinner for a dozen people easily in the kitchen. There was even a drawer full of spices to use.

The owners were very flexible in arranging for our arrival. It's always a good feeling to do business with such good people.
Owner's Response: Ken; thank you so much. I know you were a little concerned in the beginning as to our status and I really do apologise again for the length of time it took us to resolve it. It makes us very happy to know that our guests have enjoyed their stay and the amenities of Olivia House.
Perhaps we might see you again in the future ?

We loved the house, the pool, the way you organized everything to make our stay so enjoyable. The "private island" access was great...like having our own beach. We liked the use of your bicycles. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. We hope to stay with you again!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your response Larry and for those very kind words. We would love to have you and your family return for another visit - and we will again make sure to have enough bicycles for everyone !

Tropical Oasis

5 of 5
Submitted: August 23, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
A beautiful home in a quiet clean neighbourhood. This home was very clean and well-maintained. We felt like we were in a tropical oasis in the pool area with the lush plants and various tropical singing birds. My husband and I loved the bike ride to the park to play our early morning tennis. Beautiful area for evening walks and the private beach was very quiet and clean. Being able to pick our own fruit in the morning was delightful. Alot of care and love has gone into this home. Would definitley recommend this vacation getaway. We cannot wait to come back, hopefully for longer. Thank you for all your great service.
