November till January 5th 2024 (minimum rental 14 nights).
For Q1 2024 we had a cancellation for health reasons, hence availabilty for March1st till 23rd
Our home is located in one of the nicest and sought after Island of Venice neighborhoods: Golden Beach

The house is in a peaceful quiet area, yet still very centrally located in a small street close to South Gulf Harbor Drive. Venice Main Street, restaurants, Publix, beaches and golf course are all within 1mile!
Most houses in this safe, peaceful and friendly neighborhood are owned by residents or second homes of snowbirds. This makes our house your ideal home base for a great and relaxed holiday.

Spend your night in one of our four bedrooms, which are newly furnished and have new quality bedding. One Master room with king size bed has glass sliding doors opening to the screened in courtyard. It has an enclosed bath with closet and the bathroom has a door opening to the pool area. Our second master bedroom has got a king size bed and enclosed bathroom with shower and WC as well. This room is equipped with a Samsung 40' Full HDTV& sound bar. The other two bedrooms are furnished with queen bed and twin beds respectively. These two rooms can share our third bathroom with tub&WC.
The living room is centrally located in the house and has got glass sliding doors exciting to the nice courtyard. Relax and enjoy the entertainment offered by our 60' LG UHD TV. Both TV's are certainly connected to the Internet, you can easily connect to your Netflix, Pandora etc accounts! To make watching movies or your favorite sports not only a visual pleasure on the large HDTV, it is equipped with a soundbar for great sound, too. If you want to listen to music from your smartphone, you can easily connect it via Bluetooth to the soundbar as well.
Our couch in front of the fireplace is a great place to have a look into our guest information, to plan your next trip or to simply read a book. Open or close the doors to the living room as you like.
If you want or have to work during your holidays, you can do so in our office space. You can connect your laptop via WiFi and use our 4in1 printer. If you need a break, open the glass sliding doors to the pool area and feel being on holiday within a heartbeat again.

The kitchen is well equipped with new big french door refrigerator, new gas stove& oven, new dishwasher, mirocowave, coffee machine, toaster etc. A highlight for coffee fellows is the new Nespresso Vertuoline!
You will find plenty of utensils, dishes and a variety of glasses. From the kitchen you have a good overview over dining area, living room and parts of the pool area.
Our dining area features a large table and enough space for up to eight people and has got some comfortable chairs.
Or dine outdoors on our lovely courtyard, with standard seating for six people. Seating can be extended to eight within a minute by using the easy to carry, matching style table and chairs from the pool area. On our courtyard you will find a large charcoal grill for having a great B-B-Q. The courtyard is surrounded from three sides by the house, which shields the area from winds on a chilly day. It opens to the east, you will love watching the sun rising, and the view of the small pond&plants.

Our pool is about 25x16ft and about 7ft at the deepest point. It's located southeast, hence in the sun from the morning till the afternoon. The pool has been upgraded with new pebble surface, tiles and LED lights. A new quality electric heat pump ensures you can use the pool all year round. Your kids will enjoy the variety of pool toys.

The laundry room is located behind the office, so the washer and dryer will not disturb you in the living area or your sleep at all.

As inhabitant of a house located in the Golden Beach area, you can enjoy the privilege of exclusive access to Golden Beach private beach and its amenities. You can walk there in about 8minutes, or get there in 2minutes by bike. With our parking sticker you can also park your car at the private parking lot. Given the exclusive access this private beach is never crowded. You can stroll along the beach to the Venice Pier or in the other direction to Venice public beach.

Another lovely vacation

This was our second one month stay at this home. We love the location on Venice Island. Close to the beach, yoga, shopping, dining and the library. The home is nicely laid out for 2 couples with lots of privacy. Actually could accommodate many more. The home is well furnished with comfortable beds and plenty of fresh linens and towels. Lots of beach accessories as well as bikes. It is perfectly clean and fresh. The street is quiet. Very pretty and safe neighborhood. We were there in January so a bit cool to swim in the pool but I like just looking at it. We hope to return next January once again with our adult children.

Wanted to Love it

Great location, nice private beach, liked use of bicycle's, beach chairs/umbrellas, close to downtown. We stayed the month of February 2024. The house is warn our, many things need attention. It could be way cleaner, lots of cobwebs, dead bugs hanging in them, most outdoor furniture is very worn/torn, pool was serviced each week but had lots of green algae on bottom so we did not use, the worst was the amount of ants in the house in most of the rooms, the kitchen was inundated with them everywhere, in all the cabinets, drawers, climbing in sink & countertop. We could not prep or enjoy any meals here because of this and ate all our meals out (did not anticipate having that extra cost). The first day we arrived we bought ant sprays etc, We had a cleaner come in after a couple of weeks to see if it would help but it did not. Security of a few doors was lacking not closing properly to lock. For paying a prime rate we just wish we didn't have to deal with all that while on holiday, it made the months stay a little uncomfortable.

10 Stars!

My family had a wonderful stay here and will definitely return again - we liked the house and neighborhood that much! We traveled with our 3 month old baby and the house was great & very family friendly - included a crib, stroller, beach supplies (beach cart, chairs, toys, etc). We ate most meals at the house and it had everything we needed for cooking. The Nespresso machine was a great bonus, and like another reviewer, we enjoyed our morning coffee in the lovely courtyard. The house layout was great, as it had two sides of the house with two master suites off of the living room, and also had an office space. We stayed with our baby on one side of the house while grandparents had the other side with the second master suite. The house’s location is excellent, and we enjoyed daily stroller walks to the beautiful private beach. We couldn’t of been happier with our stay here, this place is a gem!

Beautiful home

We felt at home immediately. This home was great for two couples as the bedrooms were opposite sides of the living area. The beds are super comfy and the the bedrooms dark. The screened patio and pool are lovely . The doors open widely onto each giving an airy feel. The kitchen is nicely appointed. We ate all meals but one at home. Internet was very fast. Barely watched TV. The beach is a short walk. Beach towels and chairs are available. We loved our vacation-Just hanging out in warmer weather.

Golden Beach Home

This is a lovely home on Venice Island. Check in through Check out was simple. The owners of this home have made the home comfortable and have gone above and beyond with cleanliness. Even provided additional sanitation products. While one knows this is at a vacation home, the overall feeling was one of being "at home". It is obvious the owners put care and thought into this home. Having been at the house during Hurricane Elsa I can attest we felt safe the entire storm. Looking forward to another visit.

We had a wonderful time at the Goldenbeach house with our two children (4 & 6). It is a great location, clean, comfortable beds, and really nice big pool. The owners are very responsive and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. The location was convenient to the beach and downtown Venice. We really enjoyed going for a bike ride to the beach and then coming back and cooling off in the pool. They have thought of everything that you need while you are there. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Roger & Sheribon!

Pleasant 3 weeks in Venice—

Location was perfect for us—Golden Beach neighborhood was very nice—easy walk to beach and went for sunset walks every night-sometimes ended up at Sharkie’s Pier for dinner- House very close to central Venice, library, grocery store and restaurants -easy walking if you wanted—rarely needed to drive heavy traffic roads— Enjoyed biking everyday around Venice city, and Waterway and Legacy Trails- House worked out great for us—pool, patio, porch outdoor spaces—inside nice layout-kitchen/dining/living room pool —we had some work projects and office space with printer was very convenient— Owner checked in by email- to make sure all was well—couldn’t have been nicer— Venice was an easy place to be—and this house felt like home—we wished we stayed longer and would return—overall very positive experience!

Great place to stay

Just completed a two week holiday at this villa with my wife. The house is super clean and comes with everything you need should you decide to dine in. The pool area is gorgeous and very relaxing, the childproof fence is very secure although easily removable should you require more sunbed space. All in all a great holiday in a beautiful house.

Great home in a great location!

This is a wonderful, spacious home with so many great amenities. We loved riding bikes and walking to the beach every today and then coming home for a dip in the pool. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We loved feeding the fish and having coffee in the courtyard every morning. I sure hope to come back and enjoy this house again!

Great Golden Beach House

This is our second stay at this lovely home. The house is very clean, well equipped and perfectly located. There are large screen TVs, cable, WIFI and DVD players. We were able to walk (about 1 mile) or bike to town for dinner and shopping. The home is also a short distance away from a beautiful private beach, the Venice Pier, the South Jetty and the Publix Supermarket. We loved having a heated screened in pool and private fenced backyard. The owners are extremely easy to work with and very accessible.

Everything was great!

We loved our stay in Venice. The house was well maintained, convenient to everything and has a wonderful floor plan/flow. The owners were great to work with and checked with us to make sure we had no problems---even when a big thunderstorm knocked out the power in the area for a few hours! We loved Venice for is laid back atmosphere and light traffic as compared to more well known beach vacation spots in the area. Thank you to the owners for letting us enjoy your little piece of paradise!

Wonderful vacation

We live in Florida but not on the coast so we like to rent a house in Venice so that our northern family and friends can visit us and spend time at the beach. This home was perfect for us and all of our visitors. The large pool got a good workout, the kitchen was good size and well equipped, the rooms were large,the office was a very welcome room for the ones who had to bring their work with them. We enjoyed the courtyard with the fish pond, it was a nice place to relax and watch the fish. We love the Golden Beach area because there is so much to do and is a short drive to many sightseeing areas. There is something for everyone to do and see with great beaches, dining, shopping and beautiful sunsets. During the day, some, of the family, went deep sea fishing and brought back a lot of fish while others went to the beach and relaxed and others went shopping This home just " Worked for us"

This property was outstanding for all our vacation needs

My husband and I were delighted to call this property home for a month. The layout was perfect for us and our visiting kids and grandchildren, providing us all enough private space along with ample gathering areas. The kitchen and grill made it easy to prepare most of our own meals. The separate screened patio and screened pool area allowed us to enjoy the outdoors without safety concerns for the toddler and the alarms on the doors leading to the pool were very effective. The pool was perfect for the kids (and adults as well) and was in constant use. We walked, biked and drove to the beach and enjoyed having a private beach access only minutes away so we could enjoy morning walks and spectacular sunsets. The location of this home is ideal for access to the town center, public tennis courts, the beach and biking trails. We could safely bike 10 to 40 miles from the front door. It was easy to enjoy foreign relations lectures at the community center and access the many wonderful restaurants, shops and consignment stores by bike or car. Venice is close enough to Sarasota and Saint Petersburg for day trips to museums and aquariums, but quiet and low traffic. The owners of this home were remarkably responsive with questions and concerns. They took great care to make sure ours was a positive experience. Thank you! We will return.

Wonderful house by Golden Beach

We stayed one month and enjoyed everything . Every morning we fed the fish in your pond before we went for a swim in pool. The house was clean and comfortable . Walked to Golden Beach to see sunset over ocean every evening and made many friends. Neighbor brought us over a treat and was very nice. It was a treat staying in your vacation home . Thanks Bev and Roger.
