Cottage vacation rentals in Venice

Marc and Dave were incredible. They were responsive and proactive! I will definitely be back. We had a family of 7 and even though it was small, we were comfortable. The bikes were an added bonus and amazing to use for our trips to the Daiquiri Deck! Although the weather didn’t cooperate we still had an amazing time and would 10000% recommend this place. Traveling with 5 kids can be stressful and they made accommodations seamless!

Gustavo was a great host and their cottage was perfect for our honeymoon. They had everything we needed for the beach and it was only a couple blocks from Bean Point. The private pool was a great addition and relaxing if we didn’t want to walk to the beach.

We had the best time - it was everything we could've wanted in a rental! This was our first time staying in Holmes Beach and we loved it. The house is close to everything in town. We used and enjoyed all the wonderful amenities that Craig provides - the golf cart (a must!), beach cruisers, beach wagon, umbrella and chairs. The pool, hot tub and hammock were also a highlight for us. We can't wait to come back!

The place was very clean, and everything that required was provided. It was in a park setting, which suited us just fine.

Met my mom and sister for a weekend stay at the Cracker Cow Cottage. The home is spotless, adorable and well thought out. We had everything we needed. All the attention to detail shows the host(s) really care about their guest. Michelle is very attentive and is excellent at her job. Highly recommend.

Very nice 1 bedroom house in a quiet residential neighborhood. House was well equipped and having a large screen porch was a bonus. Tina responded very quickly to messages and check in was easy with directions and keypad lock.

From the moment we arrived at this top-rated “Quaint Cottage,” we knew we’d found something special. This charming retreat sets the bar for excellent stays. Inside, every detail felt outstanding—from the freshly laundered linens and plush towels to the fully equipped kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Madeline’s communication was first-class, offering clear check-in instructions and local recommendations that turned our weekend into a seamless escape. Every little touch—from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the thoughtful supply of beach chairs and umbrellas—was superior… the gold standard of hospitality. Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for more: just a quick four-minute stroll to Crescent Beach’s powdery white sands, turquoise blue water and deep red, yellow and orange sunsets. Within steps you’ll find a lineup of dining options—fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, laid-back bars serving sunset cocktails, and cozy cafés perfect for post-beach coffee. In every way, our stay was awesome!

This is a BEAUTIFUL place. There was a lovely welcome basket with toiletries when we arrived. Lots of fun board games. The back patio with hot tub are incredible, at night it is amazing. The host was really proactive in communicating with us, and was a pleasure to work with. Very, very quiet inside as well. With 2 bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom, you have lots of options. My son kept begging us to stay another day! We would highly recommend this location to anyone.

Place was perfect. Close to beach and eatery’s. Very Florida like with the gardens all around. Had everything we needed. She was sweet as well as her husband.

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, you'll find it here. We had an amazing experience at the Lazy Gator ! Cottage is equipped with everything you could need, including alligators that swim by and bass jumping out of the water. We would definitely return. Thanks Josh!

the place was beautiful felt like home super clean close to beautiful beaches easy check in would recommend it 100%

By far the most relaxing vacation our family has taken. The home is even more beautiful in person than the pictures show. The host's style and decor are just perfect for a cool beachy vibe which adds to the whole experience of being on LGI. Hosts were extremely accommodating during our stay. We cannot wait to return! ☀️

This was our second summer in a row staying at the cottages. We always have a blast.

Enjoyed the stay. Will definitely come back. Great location, perfect vacation vibe, so close to everything. Fun and relaxing.

My wife and I loved it. We spent 2 weeks there and it was a perfect place in a perfect location. Highly recommended and we will plan a re-visit if it’s available on my next trip.

Peaceful and serene weekend getaway!!! This place is a perfect little spot to do some dock fishing, grilling , or watch the sunset. The screened in porch area keeps the mosquitos out and the host has spare fishing rods and even a cooler if you go kayaking. The interior was tidy and clean and the multiple AC mini splits will keep everything cool in the brutal summer heat. All the amenities needed are provided and anything you need to buy is within walking distance. Can’t wait to go back

Very pleasant and peaceful property. I loved the place. very comfortable beds ,linens, and pillows. I used a kayak and the firepit every day I was there. Very close to the Peace river and tours. Definitely would recommend to friends and I'll be back.

Excellent stay Excellent hosts Thank you for hosting us

The Cottage made the perfect home base while seeing friends and exploring nearby attractions. The house was neat and clean, the bed comfortable, and everything looked just as described in the photos. The pool was an added bonus - a great start to every day! The quiet neighborhood was a short drive away from restaurants and nearby cities and beaches. It was a short walk through the neighborhood to the waterfront, a perfect place for watching sunsets. I’d highly recommend staying at Stephen’s Cottage!

This was our 3rd year staying at Kelly's cottage. We always have a wonderful time seeing our family. This cottage is the perfect size, big, roomy, and always squeaky clean !! It has everything you need for your stay. Looking forward to coming back next year !!

This was our second year of spending a month at Aileen's place. Again, it was so perfect for my husband and I. We did have guests stay for a couple of nights and the air mattress is REALLY nice! Everything about the space is so wonderful. Clean, cute, everything you would need for a month. It is also close to so many beaches (Fort Desoto Park ( our favorite), St. Pete's beach, and Anna Maria Island beaches. It's close to all that Bradenton, St. Petersburg and Sarasota have to offer. We felt right at home the day we arrived and it was hard to say good-bye. We definitely hope to visit again!

I travel regularly for work. I’ve stayed at dozens of AirBnbs throughout the country. This was my best experience by a mile. I was legitimately sad to leave. Can’t recommend this spot enough!!!

Fabulous time at hidden cove - only thing to keep in mind is there are only 2 beach chairs so if you’re with a bunch of beach bound guests that could be a consideration. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again when we want to be in the Bradenton area.

Beautifully decorated cottage! Well appointed in every way. I had everything I needed for a week long stay/work remotely. Bed and shower are amazing! The location is perfect for exploring PG or PC and the hosts were very responsive! Highly recommend!
