Contemporary Pool Villa I - private Beach - heated Pool and Jacuzzi - WiFi!

Gerty met us on our day of arrival, she was very friendly and helpful not only that day but if you had a question or needed anything during your stay. The house was very neat and clean. She had it decorated very nice! We felt the house was centrally located for what we like to do. We spent a lot of time in Sarasota which is a short drive north and has the BEST beach "siesta beach" with white powdery sand and great little places like The Hub to grab an appetizer and beverage. We also spent a lot of time in Englewood just a short drive south on manasota beach looking for shark teeth. They have the best happy hour at Calico Jacks between 5-7 where all the locals go. The White Elephant is another great place for lunch with live music everyday. Our kids came down for one week and had a great time, after a fun day out we would come back to the house and swim and cookout. The pool was warm just the way we like it and the Jacuzzi was icing on the cake. "Gerty will set the pool temp at your liking if you ask" Marty is another gentlemen who looks out for Gerty's house when she is not around and he is only a couple of doors away, he is a great guy enjoyed talking with him. This is a great place if you like to be adventurous and drive a short way to a lot of different beaches, shopping areas, hiking, restaurant and bars etc... We would do it again. Thanks Gerty!!!

We loved the home!!!!!!!!!!!! everything that you could have asked for and more. The only unfortunate part about our trip, we had to leave early due to Hurricane IRMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gerty is the best, she was there when we arrived, gave us a tour of the home and the pool area. The pool was exquisite along with the Hot Tub. We enjoyed the many restaurants and the sunset at Finn's!.

We will definitely go back!

We highly recommend this villa with excellent amenities and great pool. Gerty is an wonderful hostess with great info and recommendations for the Venice area and she responded quickly to any question we had.

We rented Gerty's Pool Villa for the month of February 2017. This was our 4th year renting the Villa and it did not disappoint. It's spacious ,well- configured and tastefully decorated. The house is kept clean and the kitchen well- stocked with all the necessary utensils and spices etc. We love the beaches and town of Venice nearby, and great sunsets by the jetty. (lots of dolphin sightings by the jetty this year). Gerty is great and very helpful. We fully enjoyed our stay.

Gerty's Pool Villa I was a delightful pleasure to rent 4/1-4/22. It is beautifully designed and furnished with every comfort of home. I especially enjoyed the crisp, uncluttered interior design of the home and pool deck furnishings. If I could duplicate this home for myself, I absolutely would - that is my short-term goal, actually - a pool home in Sarasota County. The Venice area offers everything - 5 beautiful pristine local beaches, free concerts & yoga at Venice Beach, Shamrock Park is a gem, great shopping and dining on Venice Ave., plus fun places for local atmosphere, i.e. Darrell's - great BBQ. Several text questions that I sent to Gerty were answered swiftly and completely. My son and guests were "wowwed" by the home (i like exceptionally NICE places for vacationing!). I do not hestitate to DEFINITELY recommend this property, or Gerty's Pool Villa II for a fabulous vacation experience! Gerty's demeanor and business savvy is what every vacation- rental owner should aspire to.
