First time to Venice Island, found this place through a friend. Seems like they're pretty booked up, but we snuck in for 3 days. We arrived after hours and our room was already prepared for us by the staff, who were easy to communicate with.
The room is cute! Felt like very personal, not corporate. I told my wife that "someone had clearly put a lot of thought into this place." For example, there was a flip up bedside shelf on the wall on my side of the bed, perfect for my phone, water, etc.
Two AC wall units kept our room at a chill 72. The showers got plenty hot and the pressure was great. Full fridge, kitchen stocked with everything you'd need to cook your own meals if you weren't planning to walk 5 minutes up the road to all the fun bars, restaurants, or coffee shops.
They have a heated pool on the property, and we enjoyed a lazy afternoon lounging around with a book.
The beach is about 10 minutes away from the restaurants, and a few mornings we joined the community beach yoga situation that happened daily at 8am. What a great way to start the morning!
The staff was super friendly and helpful, from the front desk person in the office, to the cleaning team. Good vibes all around.
Five stars. Really enjoyed our stay and can't wait...

The bathroom is small but clean, with a new shower tile update. The bedroom has a dresser and a nightstand. We’re accustomed to firmer mattresses, so it took a couple of nights to adjust. Since the buildings are old, sound can easily travel between units. However, it’s quiet at night. During our 17-day stay, the temperature reached 75 degrees Fahrenheit, so the air conditioner was too quick to cool down the small space. It could only run briefly or make the room freezing cold. As a result, high humidity was constant, and my wife’s hair became wild. The dehumidifier mode was ineffective, and we always noticed a faint, unpleasant smell whenever we entered the unit. This was our first time in Venice, and we thoroughly enjoyed the village vibe. The walkability score is excellent, with a solid 100. There’s a great beach nearby, and there’s also community yoga on the shore. The downtown area offers a variety of...
