Beachy 3BR Retreat ~ Heated Pool & Fenced Yard ~ Pet Friendly! Star of Venice!

Welcome to The Star of Venice, your perfect home base for an unforgettable Florida vacation! This beautifully appointed South Venice retreat combines comfort, convenience, and coastal charm — just minutes from some of the best beaches on the Gulf Coast.

Whether you’re here to unwind by the pool, explore local trails, or enjoy sunset dinners by the beach, this home has everything you need for a truly relaxing stay.

🏡 The Home

Step inside and feel at ease in the open, beach-inspired living space. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and a split floor plan, everyone can enjoy comfort and privacy.

Outside, the screened lanai with a heated pool invites you to spend sunny days lounging, swimming, or dining al fresco. The fully fenced backyard offers peace and privacy — perfect for families or guests bringing pets (with approval).

🛏️ Rest & Recharge
• Master Suite: King bed with a plush Serta pillow-top mattress, walk-in shower, large closet, and private sliding doors to the pool.
• Second Bedroom: Queen bed with easy access to the pool bath.
• Third Bedroom: Twin-over-full bunk bed plus a dedicated workspace — ideal for kids, teens, or remote work.

All bedrooms include Roku TVs, ceiling fans, and comfortable bedding to help you rest easy after a fun day out.

🍳 Cook, Dine & Entertain

Whip up meals in the fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a reverse osmosis water dispenser, and plenty of storage. Enjoy family dinners in the spacious dining room or fire up the Weber gas grill for poolside barbecue nights.

Two sets of pocketing sliding glass doors open to the lanai — creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or simply enjoying the Florida breeze.

Amazing stay!

House is great! Michelle is even better. The house feels like home, a great home base for the many different beaches close by. I set the fire alarm off early one morning (I like my bacon crispy) ADT notified Michelle and she called to check on us. She was so nice and accommodating! Neighborhood is awesome. House has everything you need and then some. Thank you so much!!!! We've been to 2 other different Venice homes before this one, but we just found out yearly rental in the Star of Venice.

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here! This home was equipped with lots of things for us to use at the beach and we appreciated the abundance of beach towels as the kids were in and out of the pool all weekend and they left us with plenty of supplies to keep the towels clean too. The property manager was very accommodating and had great communication with us before, during, and after. The home was clean, the backyard and pool felt private, and the neighborhood was cute and quaint. There is plenty of stores and restaurants nearby and only 15 min from the beach! We definitely recommend to stay here!

Wonderful stay Jan 2023 at Star of Venice

The house is tucked way back in the neighborhood, so it's very quiet and there is very little traffic. It was exactly as described. The house was accessible by a keypad on the front door which was very easy and convenient. My husband and I were mostly there ourselves, although the house would comfortably accommodate a few more people. It was great to be able to bring our dog as there are several very nice parks with walking trails close by (short car ride) specifically Shamrock and Lemon Bay. Walking in the neighborhood was safe since there was very little traffic. The pool was a nice size and was warmed by solar panels. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking meals at home. The beds were comfy (we only used the King and Queen bedrooms). We appreciated that the house was very clean upon our arrival. The host was very nice to work with and quick to respond to any of my texts. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to family and friends.
