Give yourself plenty of vacation choice. Book your vacation at 308 Circle Drive and you’re 3 blocks walk from Venice’s private Gulf Shore Beach. Located on Venice Island and equally close and within walking distance is the Venice Pier and Sharkey's and the charming town center. It’s all within a quick walk or shorter drive. When not trotting here, there and everywhere filling your perfect vacation itinerary, this house is a comfortable retreat in a perfect location.

On slower days, your private heated pool and inviting interiors make a great excuse to stay in pajamas ‘til noon and relax to your heart’s content. Roomy accommodation sleeps up to eight guests. The high-quality furniture feels familiar and just like home. Added comforts are found throughout, like the corner entertainment unit ready for all the Jimmy Buffet you can throw at it.

Your long rectangular heated pool sits within a screened lanai area. Long enough for laps and a great size for pool games, this is where you could spend much of your vacation. Comfy furniture is provided on the handsome tiled deck and, in winter, a powerful pool heater kicks into action.

Indoors, find those little details and added extras that make you feel truly taken care of. Deep kitchen counters mean you’ll never struggle for space. Classic wooden ceiling beams lend a timeless feel and lend an air of importance to whatever you do - writing that novel or debating the morning news. An antique hutch desk wants you to set to with diary entries, postcards or checking email on the provided wireless Internet. With such gorgeous furniture pieces, even mundane tasks take on a vacation lightness.

New furniture in the bedrooms adds further decadence to three lovely spaces. The master suite boasts a massive king size bed and an LCD TV (for guilty pleasures - maybe endless Nick at Nite?). In the very private guest bedrooms, your friends and family will feel right at home. Both have comfortable queen beds and plenty of storage for their vacation best.

Throughout, buttery yellow walls are a perfect match for happy vacation moods. Large windows ensure the home is constantly filled with gorgeous Florida sunshine. The living room boasts two papasan chairs to fight over - with high backs and deep seats they’re the perfect shape for curling into for a long nap or afternoon of reading. A comfy couch, flanked by two carved side tables creates a lovely entertaining space. Slanted ceilings add architectural interest, with long windows along the outside wall.

Pets are welcome at this Circle Drive property and Venice is a welcoming destination for dogs of all sizes. Stroll the historic streets of Old Venice together, stopping for coffee at any number of sidewalk cafes. Energetic dogs can get their fix at the enormously popular Brohard Paw Park. A ‘dog amusement park’ cum dog beach, it’s a great place to make local friends and get better acquainted with the area.

Locals and tourists alike can agree on a great sunset destination - Venice Pier and Sharky’s restaurant. At sun down the area comes into its own and is a superb gathering point for drinks and live music.
