The home was perfect! So nice to have a fabulous pool to utilize! Had everything you could possibly need! Great for the fur babies! And excellent location.
We absolutely loved staying at this wonderful, comfortable, home! So much…that it was our 2nd stay here! Wonderful pool! Great yard for the pups! Location was so convenient, enjoyed taking our dogs to the dog beach every evening for the sunsets! Really enjoyed the outdoor, covered space. It’s everything we needed and more. What a great, grandma, screened porch, with swinging chairs! Really enjoyed Venice beaches and hunting for shark teeth and shells! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home Edie, and Gregg
Property was AMAZING!! Exactly as advertised. Very welcoming and so cozy. WELL appointed and great location...the property lacked nothing! Already booked for next year. Greg was a great host, so quick to reply to any questions we may have had. We will be dreaming of that back yard for many weeks! Cannot wait to return!
This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!
Our 3 weeks exceeded our expectations. We had prompt communications with the hosts. The landscaping was beautiful and well kept, allowing for complete privacy on the grounds.The pool was sparkling. Inside, the home and pool house provided comfortable and interesting furnishings. There was great attention to every detail throughout to provide for a memorable stay.
The house was wonderful, well appointed ame we enjoyed all of its amenities. Very close to downtown Venice and the beaches. Made for a great visit with family!
We had a great stay here. The outdoor space was amazing and the listing pictures were very accurate. Convenient location to downtown Venice, beaches, Sarasota airport etc. Would stay here again!
Great location to beaches! Many great restaurants with 30 minute radius. Close to downtown Venice! My husband and kids had a blast fishing on the beach and combing the beaches for shark teeth. The pool and outdoor patio setup was outstanding! We loved the outdoor shower, great touch after a long day at the beach. We also enjoyed a trip to legoland for the day!
This is an amazing property! Everything we needed was provided except groceries and beverages. Great location for easy travel to restaurants. From decor to amenities, bravo!
Our family had a fantastic stay at Laurel cottage. From the moment you enter until the back yard with the pool this property is a dream. Very comfy beds, great outdoor area for meals. Lots of room to rest and play.
We enjoyed everything about this home! Convenient location! Our dogs loved chasing the lizards! The pool was perfect! Great covered outdoor space. Great porch with comfortable swing chairs. We were very comfortable for our 2 week stay!
We stayed here for 4 weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. The backyard is amazing and that's where we spent most of our time. Very secluded that you don't even feel your in town. The house itself is an older home with vintage decor. There was a funky smell when we first got there, but it seemed to improve after a few days or maybe we just got used to it. (Not sure which one) The main bathroom is pretty small but my husband loved the outdoor shower so I pretty much had the bathroom to myself. We walk an hour every morning and the Legecy Park (with the bike trail) was only a 3 minute drive. Publix was two stoplights down on Venice Blvd and downtown shopping was just over the bridge, so quick access to many things. Greg & Edie were great hosts and responded to any issues we were having.
Such a unique home in so many ways. Design, outdoor space and decor. Each interior room stylistically seemed different from the rest. Fun knickknacks had me smiling and lingering in some rooms. Highly recommend!
Love Laurel Bungalow. It is adorable, comfortable, and loved our stay. The furniture is not only cute, it is very comfortable. Our beds were so comfortable, and the room was roomy. Everyone who came to visit loved it. I loved having coffee on the screen porch, swimming in the pool, and the outdoor shower!! The Hosts were wonderful!
What a wonderful home with everything considered and thought out so well! We were rained in for a couple of days and kept busy with games, puzzles, and great porch swings for reading nooks and storm watching. Thank you!
Great house that was immaculately clean. Fantastic backyard and pool. Wonderful outdoor kitchen. The hosts are very friendly and fix things immediately.
Neighborhood was in a great location for us to be close to all the attractions in Venice, our extended family in sarasota, and a boat ramp.
The home was very clean with all the kitchen utensils you would ever need, and the appliances were very nice.
The pool and the outdoor area is set up perfect with great furniture and cooking area.
We really could not have asked for a better place to stay , and we already booked another stay for next year.
Cute house with great pool area. Owners were responsive and easy to communicate with. Pool was great. We went to the local VFW and it was so much fun. If you’re members you should check it out. We enjoyed our stay.
This property is lovely! It is clean, spacious and so well thought out. Our favorite space was the backyard with the covered porch and amazing pool! The owners are very kind and quickly responded to messages! 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic location.....close to EVERYTHING! My wife is 74 and doesn't go to the beach much so the pool was a HIT! The house has everything you need and the outdoor kitchen and covered area was perfect. Edie, the property manager was easy to contact and responded promptly. Hopefully this lovely home will be available for our next year's vavaction! A definite 10
The details put into this place is outstanding!
Beautiful pool and lounging area with an outdoor TV and shower!
Very clean. Side porch was great for the dogs to go potty and relax when bugs got bad. We even played Scrabble that was on the porch table! My son and girlfriend stayed in the pool house, and we watched some basketball in there after dinner one night. Huge theatre setting in pool house! Fabulous!
We never showered inside! Great tropical retreat close to town and beaches!
Stepping into this coastal-farmhouse-resort Shangri-la is something special. Every room is a visual treat, blending enchantment with delightful details and small surprises that make a place feel like home. And that private pool area? It's the epitome of luxury, giving off those intimate resort vibes, yet wonderfully grounded in a homey ambiance.
Location is key, and here, you're perfectly poised to dive into the heart of Venice. Beaches, restaurants, and the iconic Legacy bike trail are all within easy reach.
Kudos to Greg and Edie. Their touch shines through every aspect of this retreat. Spotless, cozy, infused with care in every corner – this spot just climbed to the top of our vacation faves list.
