**The community of Venice Villas is located approx. 1 mile south of downtown Venice and Venice Avenue.  It is an older community with a lot of old Florida charm.  Built in 1950, the property has changed a lot over the years but still maintains a small private beach, 2 gazebo’s at the beach entrance, a large community pool, and a laundry facility.  If you are looking for modern accommodations and amenities, this may not be the best place for you.  Each rental is set up with everything you will need at arrival, but it is up to you to restock paper products, cleaning supplies, condiments, and garbage bags etc as you use them.  If a quiet, no frills beach community is what you are looking for, than we think you will be very happy here.  A lot of our guests return time after time and prefer our laid back environment.   We hope you will become a regular visitor as well.

Office Hours:  Mon. – Fri. 10am – 5pm, Sat. 10am – 2pm.  Closed Sunday!
