This is the first time we have stayed in Venice, Florida and our choice to rent Jeff & Kim's Venice condo couldn't have been any better!
This condo is located in a golf course community with several subdivisions and a mixture of housing. The drive into the community is welcoming with tree-lined streets, golf courses, beautiful homes and natural areas with a plethora of birds and ducks. There are plenty of places to safely take casual walks or bike rides.
Jeff & Kim's condo is on the second level of a 3-level building. What's nice about this condo is that it has a designated covered parking spot, stairs and an elevator. The condo itself is nicely furnished. The kitchen is small but functional and has all of the basics anyone would need to have a light snack or cook a full dinner. If you're into grilling, there's a community grilling area just across the lane from the parking spot.
The dining area and living room are well appointed and comfortable. The lanai is screened in and very spacious. There is a view of the golf course and we enjoyed watching the Ospreys build their nest in the tall pine tree just outside the lanai window!
The master bedroom off the living room, has a king sized bed, lots of bureau and drawer space and a good-sized walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom has 2 sinks, with a separate toilet/shower area. The washer/dryer is tucked inside a closet in the master bedroom.
The second bedroom off the kitchen, has two twin-sized beds, a good-sized closet and plenty of bureau and drawer space. The second full bathroom is just outside of the second bedroom.
We appreciated the extra towels, blankets, pillows and beach towels that were provided. In the locked storage closet (located at the covered parking spot) you can find beach chairs and other essentials.
The condo was clean and quiet - exactly what we were looking for after long days helping a senior member of our family sort and pack to relocate to an assisted living community.
The condo is close to everything you would need including beaches (Manasota is the closest beach 15 minutes by car), grocery stores, drug stores, shopping. Old town Venice is about 18 minutes by car and has an abundance of shops and restaurants.
If you want to relax by a pool, the condo community pool is a short walk across the street from the condo.
Jeff and Kim were easy to communicate with and helped to make our stay enjoyable and pleasant. Would definitely stay there again!
