The room was perfect and having doors to the courtyard made it even better, having morning coffee outside! Staff Very friendly and love how it’s located to stores and close to the beach we will be returning.

I had to extend my stay unexpectedly and the hotel gave me a better rate than what Expedia gave me. I appreciated it immensely and will book directly from now on.

This is an exceptionally clean, well decorated, well run, delightful hotel that offers great value for the money in a great location in Venice. Sean, the manager, is fantastic. Highly recommend this place. Really cannot beat it for the value and it is just really well decorated and renovated.

The property was clean. Extra amenities (like bikes, beach chairs, books) were very nice. Bathroom fixtures were a little outdated. Water pressure and temp were not the best, but adequate. The location of the villas was excellent. We would return here!

Very quiet here this time, but even more enjoyable without a crowd thanks
I loved walking the streets and seeing the beautiful live oak trees. I ran every morning down Harbor Bay drive. People were friendly and the city was clean.

While we are in town we always go to the Daiquiri Deck for great food and drinks...and then also Pinchers across the street from our hotel for snacks and drinks. We just love our anial trip to Venice..it never disappoints.
