Our spacious Villa Grande home is located just minutes away from the popular Sharky's restaurant, downtown Venice and several fabulous \*free\* beaches. A single story fully detached private home, the house has tile floors throughout and features a split design separating the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Many amenities are provided to make your vacation relaxing, including beach chairs, pool noodles, beach umbrella, beach towels, beach toys, shark's tooth strainer and two beach cruiser bicycles with front baskets. Visit beautiful Venice Island. Shop, eat and enjoy the sunny Florida scenery. Venice, Florida is known as the 'Shark's Tooth Capital of the World' and your vacation paradise is only minutes from Caspersen Beach where you can scoop shark's teeth right out of the shallows. Don't worry, these teeth aren't new, they're prehistoric. One side of Villa Grande features the master bedroom boasting a King size bed and a walk-in closet with plenty of room for your clothes. The master bathroom has a tub, shower, towel closet and plenty of counter space on the vanity. Feel extra pampered with the plush spa towels and spa robes provided for you during your stay. On the other side of the home, a pocket door gives the second bedroom its own living area with access to a full second bathroom. The bedroom includes a Queen size bed and a roomy closet for all of those new 'Shark's Tooth Capital' t-shirts. The second bathroom has a spacious vanity top, large mirror and a large walk-in shower. Also offered is one fold-out Simmons DreamSleep twin bed with very comfy memory foam mattress and a roomy Queen sized sofa bed with gel memory foam mattress in the Florida room. The kitchen features a breakfast bar and is fully stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and updated appliances - including dishwasher. We also stock spices, coffee, salt, pepper, sugar and other basics that you don't have to buy at the store. We provide paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and some sample sizes of toothpaste, mouthwash etc so the only thing you need to shop for is perishable food that you'd like to cook at home. The living room lets you sit back and relax between all of that hard work of laying on the beach and features a large flat screen TV with loads of HD cable channels and the ability to record your favorite shows while you are out. It also features super fast wireless internet access (free WiFi) for seamless Internet content streaming. Throw open the French door to the tropical back yard and let the breeze pour in as you enjoy a little coffee or tea. Dine outside while enjoying the Florida sunshine under the palm trees while your kids or pets play in the fenced yard. The garage is attached and includes automatic door control available for your use during your stay and full size washer and dryer for drying those wet bathing suits, washing those towels you were sitting on at the beach or getting your clothes cleaned of one adventure and ready for the next. Villa Grande has ceiling fans throughout as well as central air and heating. Nearby is a heated outdoor Olympic pool at the Venice YMCA which has great daily, weekly or monthly rates to use the entire facility. One feature which we believe sets our property apart from many others is that we use a keyless entry system and you are given a code to access the house which is individualized and never the same. Venice is a very beautiful and laid back city and you're sure to meet other friendly people biking the Legacy Trail and walking as you take a stroll or walk your dog. The local area has several dog parks and Brohard Paw Park Dog Beach where your pooch can run free. We now sanitize guest handled items such as TV remotes, garage opener, door knobs and light switches for added safety. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88320000/88311000/88310918/84fa8e93.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Palm Gardens - Hot Tub - Screened Patio - Minutes to the Beach - Pets South Venice - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=88310918&PinnedHotelID=88310918&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19360000/19358800/19358732/3794b08c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sandcastle Cottage - Screened Patio - Fenced Yard - Pets OK South Venice - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=19358732&PinnedHotelID=19358732&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19520000/19512600/19512588/4a7054fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Breezy Villa - Minutes to Beaches - Fenced Yard - Pets Welcome - WiFi South Venice - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 80 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=19512588&PinnedHotelID=19512588&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105670000/105663800/105663704/c3bd40a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Cottage in south Sarasota Florida, Close to Beaches!

The house is very clean! It was in a great location for us, pretty much central to the beaches we were visiting (Caspersen and Brohard), even downtown Venice is close by. The backyard was huge which our pup loved to run around in. I honestly think he had a better vacay than me! Overall we were very pleased with our stay. ##### John G.

While the front bedroom is very loud at night, as it is adjacent to the road, aside from the noise, the back yard has lovely privacy. The house location made beach trips convenient. Although I initially overlooked the beach towels that were in the garage, the owner was quickly responsive in dropping off replacements. ##### Regan Z.

We rented Ruth's house for 9 nights as an intern place to stay as we waited to close on our home during a cross-country move from Wisconsin to Florida. Not only was the house clean and welcoming it also was the perfect place for our dogs. We loved (and miss) the large, fenced backyard. Ruth was great about communicating and quick to assist when we needed to add days to our rental after already checking in. She was wonderful about responding to emails and quickly answered all questions we had. The house has a garage which was a lifesaver for us and the proximity to several gulf coast beaches was great. We loved exploring the local parks and beaches as well as being able to walk our dogs through the neighborhood each morning. This home was close to several groceries as well as shopping and recreation. I highly recommend Ruth's house and would stay again. ##### Holly O.

It had more than enough space, and were lucky enough to find a place that offered us the rest and relation we needed. Manasota beach was a few minutes away, as were many restaurants. We will definitely book again. It was our first VRBO, and this stay has made us realize how uncomfortable hotels have become. ##### Merle K. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart S. 14 Aug 2018 #### Villa Grande was perfect! Villa Grande met all my expectations. The property, location and amenities were exactly how the listing had described it. I had my two dogs with me so the large fenced in backyard was great. Plenty of room to run and play and, the fencing was in excellent shape so I did not have to worry about the dogs getting creative and finding a way to explore the neighborhood. I brought my cloths, some personal items and dog food, that's it. Everything else is provided for you including beach towels and chairs, bikes, a grill on backyard patio and a washer and dryer. I could not have been happier with the level of customer service. Ruth responded quickly to all my emails and questions. If there was something I asked that she did not know, which was rare, she researched it and got back to me, usually the same day. We were ten minutes from Brohard Paw Park, a fantastic off leash beach for dogs, and the same distance to the public beach. There were plenty of activities and restaurants to choose from. I absolutely will add Villa Grande to my list of places to re-visit and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it, especially if you are traveling with dogs. Thanks again Ruth, the dogs and I had a great time. It was just what the doctor ordered. ##### Stuart S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Avanti-Palms-Resort-And-Conference-Center.h3916.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Key Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Sunset-Key-Cottages.h17456804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shire at West Haven 101](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-The-Shire-At-West-Haven-101.h35790310.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton EPIC Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Kimpton-EPIC-Hotel.h2237168.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Bentley Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel-South-Beach.h120299.Hotel-Information) > > [Esmé Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Esme-Miami-Beach.h58072094.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Plaza Resort & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Intl Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-Resort-Suites-By-Wyndham-Orlando-Intl-Drive.h897604.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Portofino Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Portofino-Bay-Hotel.h201033.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Southernmost-Beach-Resort.h863329.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Village Views Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Magic-Village-Views-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h36882728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Naples5th-Avenue.h12805323.Hotel-Information) > > [LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort - A Noble House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-LaPlaya-Beach-Golf-Resort-A-Noble-House-Resort.h25199.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-Downtown.h59632755.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [UMA House by Yurbban South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-UMA-House-By-Yurbban-South-Beach.h74778624.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Sorrento Oceanview Junior Suite with free parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Sorrento-Oceanview-Junior-Suite-With-Free-Parking.h29618894.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Greystone - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Greystone.h34892018.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seagate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delray-Beach-Hotels-The-Seagate-Hotel-Spa.h2803783.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Grand-Beach-Hotel.h2238836.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Aventura Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Aventura-Hotel.h18352896.Hotel-Information)
