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!

Great property for our family

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.

Second stay this year!

Loved this house so much! Luckily it was available for a return trip. Every area of this home is so very nice. My husband and I stayed in the pool house this week, loved the privacy which allowed our son and family to stretch out in the house. Pool area, outdoor kitchen with large table and ample seating was the perfect for wonderful family memories. Great communication and help from hosts when needed! Hope to stay again! Beth & Mark

Wonderful Oasis!

We had an absolute blast! Your home is so lovely! My parents, my husband, and our pups had an amazing/relaxing time! You have such a wonderful set up in your back yard! It is the perfect set up for dog family’s. We lived outside basically! We only were inside to cook meals and sleep! God willing we still have our dog with us next year we will certainly be back!

Tropical retreat!

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!

Laurel Bungalow-Palatial Palace

Nestled in a historic district in Venice, Florida this beautifully appointed house, grounds & in-ground salt H2O pool helped us shake off the northern cold. The interior has all of the high end appliances, comfy beds, couches and chairs. The outside bedroom/movie theatre was perfect for our guests and the outside shower was heaven. BBQs were frequent as was sampling all of the great restaurants in Venice. Since this was our first time using VERBO we were pleasantly surprised. The owners were very gracious in sharing their beautiful home with our family.
