Your Florida Gulf Home Rental is within walking/biking distance of

architecture with its double boulevard of swaying palm trees, lovely 
shops, great restaurants, bars, live theatre, art center, free tennis

Gulf Home Rental is equipped with all the necessary linens and

Raffles of Singapore.  The rattan armoire contains all the modern 
conveniences of cable TV, VCR, DVD and stereo system. The living room 
looks out to the pool area through 3 large sliding glass doors.  
Often you will be able to slide those doors open to the pool, turn 
off the air conditioning, and the house will stay remarkably cool.

dishwasher, refrigerator, ceiling fan, and all the dishes, cookware 
and utensils you need for cooking and serving Florida cuisine 
delights.

Your Florida Gulf Home Rental is located just steps away from the 
beautiful Florida Gulf Coast beaches – ½ block!  In fact, you have 
your own private, deeded access.  Take a short stroll around the 
corner, there, before you is your pathway to the beach.
And what a beach it is!  Warm, white sands backed by the beautiful 
turquoise waters of the Florida Gulf.  Bring your book, your lotion, 
and your toys; leave behind your shoes, your shirt, and your shrugs.  
Make your mark in the sand early in the day with your (bare) 
footprints...….only the surf will erase them.

While Venice Island itself provides a safe harbor and buffer from the 
busy pace on the Florida mainland, your Florida Gulf Home Rental is 
an oasis even further away from the scurry of the day.  Sit back; 
relax in your private pool…..make plans for tomorrow.

There are other ways to relax as well, all within walking distance 
from your Florida Gulf Home Rental in Venice.  The Lake Venice Public

leading to the wonderful Caspersen Beach.

Venice, Florida is simply the nicest, quietest, warmest and 
friendliest little town on the Florida Gulf Coast; where the scale 
and pace of the community is a truly wonderful respite from our 
hectic world.  This Florida Gulf Home Rental is home as it should be: 
simple, safe, uncluttered, uncomplicated.  Here is that home, for you.

Venice is not some brand new manifestation of the “planned 
community.”  Venice has roots, history, and an actual culture.  It 
has civic pride, and a beautiful, quaint downtown.

What else does Venice have?  Why boats of course - Boats, waterways, 
piers, docks, and waterfront restaurants!  After all, why do you 
think they named it Venice – not Rome?  There are boat rentals on the 
Island of Venice, within 5 minutes from your Florida Gulf Home Rental 
and public boat ramps as well.

minutes) for the Ringling Museum, Tampa Florida (90 minutes) Busch 
Gardens, Orlando Florida (2.5 hrs) for Walt Disney World, Sea World 
and Universal Studios! The Tampa Airport is 1 ¼ hours away, Sarasota 
Airport, ½ hour away, and Ft. Meyers Airport 1 hour away.

Beach, Bradenton Florida Beach, Englewood Florida Beach, Siesta Key
