Venice Villas is a two-story condo complex with several efficiencies/studios on both floors. It consists of studios either in the front or back side of the building. My unit faces directly the beach and is on the ground floor. The unit's door opens directly to the beach entrance with unblocked views and is just steps away from the beach/sea. I included a photo with the view from the unit. The Gazebo is where the beach starts. Approx. (less than) 2 min. walk to reach the sea. It is also the closest to the wonderful semi-Olympic size pool.
I purchased this studio/efficiency for my own weekend enjoyment as I live in Tampa. It is approx. 75 minutes from Tampa Int'l Airport and accommodates ideally two people. The living and bedroom area in the same room just like a comfortable and nicely decorated decent size hotel room.
The unit has a kitchenette with two burners, a smaller size fridge with freezer compartment and basic cooking utensils. There is free high speed wifi installed in the condo.

Review
Before reviews become part of the platform, I received thank you letters. I included a scan of the recommendation letter. It reads " Dear Selcuk, I want to thank you again for the rent of unit #47 Venice Villa March to March 2008. The unit was very clean and the neighbor's were very friendly people. Location, location, location, the pool was 20' from my front door and was cleaned every day, and the ocean and beach at the end of the street was also very relaxing. I would definitely stay there again, we had a wonderful time... Sincerely... R. G."
Another recommendation from an e-mail from renter in Feb. 2009 reads as follows:
"Dear Selcuk,
We had a great time in your little studio. We are very satisfied with everything and we appreciate that you have chosen furniture from the Swedish company IKEA ,that make us feel like home. We liked Venice very much, a small town where we could find what we needed especially the Carnies Pub where we was several times and enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. Also the golf course Lake Venice was a good experience with friendly people and a nice course. Now we are back in Sweden where it is still cold and little sun but we hope that the spring will appear soon. Have a nice time" Bo D. (From Sweden).
The location of the studio is midway between the fishing pier and downtown - both around 15 - 20 minute walks away. For those who are familiar with Venice - my favorite is strolling in downtown Venice or walking briskly on the beach 20 minutes to Sharky's (A beach side restaurant), watch the sunset with a margarita and walk back.
What do other's do? They search for historic shark teeth, sun bathe, swim or fish - right from the beach.
Venice is a short drive from Sarasota - another similarly affluent city with well developed arts scene, the Ringling Museum, Botanical Gardens and a variety of fine dining options... A quick online search can provide more details. For those travelling overseas - Orlando (2 hrs.), Naples (1 hr.), Miami
(3 hr) are all great day trip options... St. Petersburg and Tampa can be reached within less than 90 minutes. For shoppers, in addition to local Venice boutiques, Ellenton Factory Outlet is also a short drive away (approx. 20 min.)
This is ultimately a "beach" place for those seeking serenity and enjoy Florida activities from fishing to fine dining...
And another former letter from a renter reads: "I would like to say we had a wonderful time. The accommodation worked out great for two of us. The weather was perfect and the location was great for day trips. The residents at the villas were very friendly and helpful with all types of useful information (dining, shopping, places to visit etc.) The city of Venice is a lovely place. We were sad when it came time to leave. We will definitely return. Thanks again for being so accommodating." Tammy M.
