Book Direct & Save - No Service Fees
1050 sq. ft. This beautiful first floor, end unit condo is just steps away from the community pool and less than 20 minutes from the beaches of Venice. You will love the many activities offered - or choose to relax on the patio and enjoy the golf course views.
Both bedrooms have sturdy real wood KING beds with storage drawers, TVs and ceiling fans; the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, a washer-dryer and a sliding door to the lanai. The living room has a leather queen sofa bed and large TV with Comcast cable.
The lanai is the perfect setting for your morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
The outdoor patio offers views of magnificent Florida birds- and an occasional alligator in the water hazards of the golf course.
You can cook a gourmet meal in the fully appointed kitchen, or just use the new microwave to reheat delicious fare from the local restaurants.
When you arrive at Starfish South, my good friend and Property Manager Bob (who lives in the community) will walk you through the condo, show you how the two recliners work and acquaint you with your vacation area - there are always activities and things to do —let him know if you want to socialize! Bob always knows which bar to go to to root for your favorite team and where to go for trivia in the evening.

Robin and Bruce B.Great condo on Venice
What a great condo! From the moment we walked in, we noticed how impeccably clean it was! It was beautifully decorated, and Beth had truly thought of everything we would need for our stay… from items in the kitchen to beach towels and chairs. The location is great…easy to get in and out and close to great restaurants. The property manager, Bob met us when we first got there and walked us around the condo and property so we would feel right at home from the get-go! We would definitely rent again if we go back to Venice!

"Robin and Bruce, I’m so happy that you liked the condo! Thanks for spending a month here the last two years and we hope you’ll be back!"
Tom S.Fun & Relaxation With A Spectacular View!
This place has everything you could wish when you dream of a Florida visit: a sparkling pool, relaxed ambience next to the golf course, a screened-in lanai AND an outdoor patio. Beth was wonderfully accommodating, and Bob graciously ensured we got settled in and familiar with the amenities. We rented for 5 weeks, and we would absolutely stay here anytime.

Carol F.Tasteful, spacious, quiet. Beyond our expectations..
As soon as the door was opened for us we knew we were exactly where we needed to be. The kitchen just inside to the right was open concept with counters between the front door and a large passway to the dining room with views through the living room to the lanai and outside to the patio which overlooked the pond and the golf course. As we went through the bedrooms and baths it was as if Beth had somehow known our taste in decorating. All the rooms were full of sunshine and there was a beautiful cross draft from the front door and kitchen window to the sliding doors in the spacious living room. Beth had thought of everything - we needed nothing. The large pool was steps away and the other owners and guests were welcoming. We could have stayed forever.

Thomas A.Great first floor condo with everything you need.
This is a great condo in an excellent location for everything. Close to the pool, grills, covered parking. We spent over 3 months in this condo this summer and had a wonderful experience. Beth, the owner, was responsive and helpful. the condo is well equipped. It was a lanai as well as a patio and overlook the golf course. It's close to Wellen Park and South Venice. I would highly recommend this for your Venice/Sarasota getaway. Thanks, Beth.

Curt and Diane H.Clean and Comfortable First Floor End Unit Condo
This clean and comfortable condo is just 20 minutes to beaches and only 3 miles to shopping centers. Everything that you need is there, just bring your luggage and food. Snook Haven has music outside and is just a short drive away. Very relaxing sitting on the patio watching the golfers at the 9th hole and the different species of birds. The pool is very close to the unit. Bob lived in the building right next door and was extremely helpful with any questions or concerns. Thanks to Beth for creating a great place to stay!

K O.Beautiful Renovated 2 Bed Condo in the WestChester Gardens of the Plantation
Unit !29 is a strategically located ground end unit close to the heated pool & Clubhouse community activities as well as convenient to the shops & beaches of Venice. We enjoyed the serene view of the large lake visited daily by Florida birds, next to the Plantation Golf Course & within sight of Club's pools &Clubhouse.The decor is amazing from the art work to the new coastal themed living room & comfortable king bedrooms to the new kitchen with granite, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances .We enjoyed having our friends over who commented on how inviting the condo is. The screened lanai continues the coastal theme with a table with 4 chairs & leads to a patio & garden with another large table & 6 chairs. The inside dining has an oval table with 6 comfortable chairs. Love the leather navy sleep sofa & easy key pad entry! 3 new TVs. We will return.

The amount shown includes everything except the $50 application fee and if you have stayed in Westchester Gardens before you don’t pay that fee again.
No, but there are plenty of public courses in the area and I’m happy to send you a list of them.
