Breezy Villa - Minutes to Beaches - Fenced Yard - Pets Welcome - WiFi

Breezy Villa features two bedrooms and two baths with a tile floor throughout. There is a split floor plan with each bedroom separated by the living room with their own private baths. Provided are many amenities to make your vacation relaxing, including beach chairs, umbrella, shark's tooth strainer, beach toys and two beach cruiser bicycles.

The tropical back yard is fully fenced for the safety of your pets and children.

Breezy Villa is only 7 miles or 14 minutes from the new Atlanta Braves "Cool Today" stadium where they play their Spring Training games in late February and March.

Proximity to the Gulf of Mexico brings almost constant breezes to this adorable villa. Throw open all the windows and the double French doors and enjoy the fresh ocean air!

Visit beautiful Venice Island only 3 minutes north. Shop, eat and enjoy the many wonderful activities only minutes away, including the Venice Rookery where you can see Bald Eagles and other exotic large birds, the weekly Venice Farmer's Market, Warm Mineral Springs or travel 20 minutes north to Sarasota for the Mote Marine Aquarium or Myakka River Park where you can see alligators in their natural habitat from an air boat.

Venice, Florida is known as the 'Shark's Tooth Capital of the World' and minutes from Caspersen Beach where you can scoop shark's teeth right out of the shallows. Don't worry, these teeth aren't new, they're prehistoric.

On one side of Breezy Villa is the master suite with double doors that close creating a three-room cozy and private retreat from the rest of the home. The master bedroom features a comfortable King size bed and a walk-in closet with plenty of room for your clothes. The master bathroom has a bath tub and shower. Feel extra pampered after your shower with the plush spa towels and waffle cotton spa robe provided for you during your stay.

The third space is a separate office area with a full length desk. Close the master bedroom door, throw your laptop on the desk and surf with high speed wireless Internet with no worries about disturbing someone sleeping.

The second bedroom includes a Queen sized bed and a roomy closet for all of those new “Shark's Tooth Capital” t-shirts. It also boasts its own bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Also offered are two Simmons DreamSleep folding twin beds with very comfy memory foam mattresses and recently added is a Queen sofa bed in the living room with the new living room sofa set. Sheets provided for all extra beds.

The living room lets you sit back and relax between all of that hard work of laying on the beach and features HD TV with loads of HD channels and the ability to record your favorite shows while you are out, wireless Internet access (Free WiFi).

In the dining room, throw open the French doors and let the breeze pour in as you enjoy a little coffee or tea at the shaded patio table. The back patio invites you to cook on the propane grill and dine outside while enjoying the Florida sunshine or comfortable nights under the palm trees while being serenaded by tree frogs and crickets. Relax there and watch your kids or pets play in the fenced yard, chasing the cute little geckos.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and updated appliances – including dishwasher. Also included are basic spices, coffee and sugar to get you started.

Next to the kitchen is a full laundry room with washer and dryer for drying those wet bathing suits, washing those towels you were sitting on at the beach or getting your clothes cleaned of one adventure and ready for the next.

Breezy Villa has ceiling fans throughout. Also for your convenience is a roomy garage with inside entrance to the house and an automatic garage door opener is provided for your use.

Nearby is a heated outdoor Olympic pool at the Venice YMCA which has great daily, weekly or monthly rates to use the entire facility.

Venice is a very beautiful and laid back city and you're sure to meet other friendly people biking and walking as you take a stroll or walk your dog. The local area has several dog parks and a dog beach in downtown Venice where your pooch can run free.

We now sanitize guest handled items such as TV remotes, garage opener, door knobs and light switches for added safety.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on request.

Just okay
Don't get me wrong; the owner was nice to work with and responsive to many of our concerns (coffeemaker inoperable and lousy vacuum), but there are some issues that you wouldn't know about unless you stay there. It is on a very busy, noisy road in a subdivision where traffic is heavy. The backyard is just dirt and weeds. Our dog didn't even like to go out there. She'd come back with prickers in her feet. The house, although well equipped, needs a thorough cleaning (fans, vents, faux plants and screens were all very dusty and dirty). Bed was very comfortable and kitchen was well equipped for the most part. Dishwasher is old and rusting on the interior, but functional. There is NO pass to the beach as described in the ad and it was $300 to buy one. The owner did not let us know this before we arrived. The pictures are probably 10 years old (as are the magazines and restaurant guides in the welcome book) The worst part is by far the back yard!!!

This property is close to all the beaches we like to visit. The owner is very good at fixing any issues that come up. The weather was lovely during our one month stay but red tide kept us away from the beach.

Staying with this host again
Host is very helpful and responsive, providing useful local information. The fenced in back yard was private and perfect for our four legged companions. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, host provided beach gear including shark tooth basket (found plenty at Caspersen Beach). Already booked with this host again for next year.

A vacation spot that doesn’t disappoint
With Ian hammering parts of the gulf coast, Dan, the owner worked efficiently and without rest to make sure that our stay was in a clean, pleasant area with access to all of the things we wished to do there. The home was comfortably appointed and conveniently situated to local beaches, downtown restaurants and Saratoga. Would look to stay again and highly recommend!

Great Stay!
An older property clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Pictures posted show what you are getting with no hidden surprises. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only disappointment was that there was no pass, as stated in listing, for the South Venice Ferry to get to the beach close to the house. So we had to drive to the public beaches. But overall we had a really great time in Venice and the surrounding areas!

First Timers
This was the first time we vacationed in Venice Florida. We picked Venice because of the dog friendly beach. We brought our German Shepherd and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was roomy with a great back yard. The house included everything we needed. Beach towels, beach chairs even a net we used to capture seashells. The binder was so helpful listing many places to eat. Most of the time we just picked up food on the way home from the beach and had a nice dinner at the house. The house was in a great location, easy to drive in and out of the neighborhood. Great vacation!

House in Venice Fl
The house includes everything you need, from dishes to shampoos and even sunscreens, Wi-Fi, TV with Netflix, prime and YouTube. The neighborhood was too quiet for us. We didn’t spend much time in Venice, mostly we drove to Sarasota, st Pete and Tampa, which took us at least one hour to drive. Overall we had a great experience in Florida. Check in was very easy, communication with owners as well. Great house!! Our family enjoyed!!

Quaint Beach House Vibes
We had a terrific stay at Breezy Villa. This dog-friendly house had all the beach vibes we craved. We made use of the South Venice Ferry passes and the assortment of beach chairs/toys in the garage. There were a lot of amenities within the home and a cute welcome basket that included dog treats! We needed a house in close proximity to my parent's home and this perfectly fit the bill. Because of our limited needs, we didn't use everything this house had to offer. If you're looking for a simple home while off exploring beautiful Sarasota County, this is it. 2 Thumbs & Paws up!

Ready to Move!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay....In fact, my husband was ready to ask the owners of the house if they wanted to sell. It was just the right size for us and our dog. The backyard was enclosed so we didn't have to worry about relaxing on the patio while the dog was outside with us. We were close to the Brohard Paw Park which is a beach where dogs are allowed to play off leash. What fun! We will definitely be back to Venice and will want to book this house again.

Very Nice House, Great Location!
This is a very nice house with a really good location for us. It was just my wife and me and our 3 small dogs. Fenced in yard was great for the dogs (one of ours spent 90% of his time outside with the squirrels and lizards). We walked the dogs almost daily at Shamrock Park, or took them to Dog Beach, which is a very short drive. There are loads of restaurants in the area too.

Comfortable but needs some attention.
This house has its pros and cons. The check-in process was extremely easy and Ruth was very quick in responding to emails. She also sent a lot of information on things to do and dog friendly parks and restaurants. The home was comfortable and had everything you need to cook right at home which we did every night. I really liked the large laundry room with a long counter to set things on and fold clothes. It was also nice to have a garage for parking the car in. The bathrooms were clean and there were plenty of towels. One thing that was a bit disappointing is that there are no sidewalks for walking your dog(s). The road is narrow and we didn’t feel comfortable walking our dogs here. However, just down the road is a really nice park with walking paths. We took our dogs there every morning for a long walks. The house has a nice fenced in back yard. It was nice to be able to let the dogs out and not worry about them running off. One thing that I think would have been nice is if the patio area were screened in. If you do not mind getting eat up by mosquitos then it is OK. However, they love me so sitting outside was not for me. There are several disappointing things about this place. Though in general the home was clean, there are places that could use some attention (I'm a clean freak). One is the oven, which was extremely dirty and does not look like it has been cleaned in a long time. Also, in the kitchen there is an open ceiling light that was full of dead bugs. The light bulb in the living room ceiling fan went out and when we took the globe off it too had dead bugs in it, which we cleaned out before replacing the globe. While we were there, we had a few cold nights and days and though we had the heat on, the master bedroom and bathroom were really cold. Luckily, I found a couple of blankets to add to the bed. The rest of the house was fine except for these two areas. Then the last thing that was disappointing is when we took some of the beach items with us to the beach, mainly the shade umbrella, we discovered that the whole umbrella is broken. So we were not able to spend as much time at the beach as we had hoped for that day. I’m not sure why this broken umbrella hasn’t been thrown out and replaced. Makes me wonder if things don’t get looked at over time. Overall this wasn’t too bad of a place but some more attention to cleaning and a bit of updating of the interior would make this place much nicer.

Amazing rental!
We were so comfortable at the villa! It had everything we needed and more besides! We definitely want to return! Having had a dubious rental through a different company at the start of our holiday, we were delighted when we opened the door to this villa! It is light and airy and great attention is paid to detail throughout! There is easy parking on the driveway to the front of the property and a lively garden to the rear, where we spent many hours relaxing! The Wi-fi was excellent and the beds were super comfortable, as were the sofas in the lounge! The location is great, in a quiet neighbourhood, but only a short drive to shops and restaurants. Everything about the villa is great and we really do hope to return soon!
