Waterfront Villa with Internet, HDTV, Private Dock & Heated Pool

Wonderful Florida get away

This house had all the amenities that we needed and was the perfect lay out for us. We loved being right on the canal, and enjoyed sitting on the dock by the water. The location was perfect for us as it was close to all the activities that we frequented. We are looking forward to returning next year.

Everything we needed/wanted and more!

The home is located in a lovely well kept quiet neighborhood with a backyard view of a waterway & so many birds. It is a quick bike ride to The Legacy Bike Trail, offering small parks along its way for us to do our morning workout routine. It also allowed a safe ride to downtown historic Venice, opening up all kinds of options for dining and shopping. The house is tastefully decorated, comfortable beds, and has plenty of linens and towels for all our needs. The kitchen has a great layout for more than one cook & we were not lacking in any type of kitchen amenities for our meal preps. We utilized the gas grill many times and were happy to have it, especially when we were cooking fish. The pool area was perfect! It was used every day!! We especially appreciated having the table within the lanai with its overhead paddle fan. We used that table as our main dining table. Our hosts - Rod & June - were extremely accommodating and super easy to work with. Anytime we had a question, Rod was quick to respond and always wanted to make sure we were all set.

Great rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sorrento Woods. The house is wonderful and the neighborhood is great too. The house was fully equipped with everything that one would need for an extended stay. It is obvious that the owners take good care of the property. The house is clean, inviting and comfortable. It made a great home away from home.

Best Florida rental

We had the most enjoyable 2 months in Florida that we ever have had. Everything was Perfect! We especially enjoyed the solitude and quiet. Connie spent 4 to 5 hours a day painting and sketching. We used the pool 5 days out of 7. We both did a lot of reading and went to the beach probably 5 times a week. I am an avid golfer and worked a lot on my game. I took a series of golf lessons at Venice Golf Course from Dave the Course Pro. I am always trying to improve my game.

Best Place in Florida!

This is our fourth time at Sorrento Woods in Rod and June's Paradise. We enjoy the location and proximity to Nokomis Beach and all the retail businesses that are close by. The house is spectacular. We use the bikes to go down to the Jetty's to watch the boats and fishermen. We bike to downtown Venice to the Saturday market. We also have been playing tennis at the courts in downtown Venice, which has a great round robin every morning that anyone can join. We are 5 minutes away from several great golf courses. Our family comes down for a visit during our stay, and love their own wing in the house and the ability to swim and play in the pool every day. Rod and June have all the items included in the rental that you need. Towels, beach chairs, beach blankets, umbrellas, etc. We have been lucky to have record high temperatures in February and will enjoy coming back next year to this perfect holiday retreat. Thanks Rod and June.

We will not stay anywhere else!

This home is an excellent vacation property. We continue to return every March year after year. The owners Rod and June are so easy to work with and you feel like you have known them forever. This spacious, nicely appointed and well equipped home is in a serene setting in a quiet neighborhood. The split design is great for families. We love sitting around the pool, overlooking the creek and watching all the wildlife. Amenities are close by and the beach is only 10 minutes away. We hate leaving at the end of March. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Paradise

We have visited this beautiful house on numerous occasions and have enjoyed every trip. The house is decorated to the highest standards and is very clean throughtout. It is very well stocked with everything you need. The bikes are a bonus and have enjoyed many a bike ride. The swimming pool area is great and never get fed-up with the view and all the wildlife. The locality is great and close to everything, shops, beaches, bike trail, Venise and State parks, which we love. All in all a gem of a find. Hope to be back in the future.

Web site gives all correct information

We have visited this property on three occasions and have never been disappointed. We flew into Tampa and it is an easy drive down to the property, about an hour. The accommodation is high class. The instructions for everything are comprehensive and easy to understand. We enjoyed getting about on the bikes, going in to Venice for a coffee or great ice cream. The close by supermarkets are very well stocked. Sunset on Venice beach is worth a visit and if you enjoy yoga there are early morning sessions there too. We had great fishing, off the dock, in the creek and were luck enough to get some deep sea treats. There are good restaurants in town, lots of choice. All in all a great property to visit

Loved the bikes!

Really enjoyed all the bikes and the proximity to the Legacy Bike Trail. House and everything in it were great and spotless. Roomy enough for our kids to pop in and visit during our stay. Enjoyed grilling out by the pool. Creek in front on the house was a real bonus to put kayaks in without having to haul them somewhere. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy this part of Florida.

All the advertising you read is absolutely correct.

Our family has stayed here for the last seven or years. The view, creek, and nature area you see from the backyard are beautiful. We have seen an alligator, two otters, and a Manatee mom with her little one right from the dock. We have caught fish from the dock which we have cooked and eaten. Besides all the places to visit and shop in Venice, we take a day to go to St. Peterersburg where we visit the Salvador Dali Museum and the Chihuly Blown Glass Museum. We've attended a Minnesota Twins game at Tropicana Field. We have also driven to the Ringling Circus Museum, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens near Sarasota. The house is immaculate, and Rod and June make every effort to accommodate renters' needs.

Great for Kayakers!

This was our third stay here and love this house on the salt water creek where we launch our kayaks. The wildlife refuge across from the house is wonderful for watching - eagles, raccoons, wild pigs, an occasional bobcat or alligator. You can fish right off the dock at the house or at the lovely park a couple doors down where there's a small playground for kids ..also a great place to jog. The house is equipped with everything you need ... very clean with comfortable beds. A short drive to Nokomis beach where we enjoyed the ukulele group and drum circle every week and sunsets on the jetty. The bike trail is about 1/2 mile away and easy to access .. can take you north to Oscar Scherer State Park or south to Shamrock Park or Caspersen Beach. The owners are very attentive, respond to all questions quickly. The local couple who manage the property were very nice and quickly resolved any issues (all minor). Highly recommend this for a great Florida vacation!!
