Better than a Hotel!

This unique home-away-from-home was a fabulous alternative to an overpriced hotel room! We loved the quiet, family-oriented neighborhood and proximity to virtually everything in and around Venice. The house was eclectic and unique in its design and decor, but was exceptionally clean and had every modern convenience at hand. The beach gear and bicycles on the premises were an extra bonus! We hope to return in the future for another stay!

I decided to take my first solo vacation and I found the perfect place staying at the Treehouse. I felt very safe in the house and the neighborhood. I loved how close it was to multiple beaches and restaurants. If I had a question Stan and Liz were very quick at answering them. They never made me feel as if I was a bother to them. If you are thinking about your first solo or a couples get away you won’t be disappointed staying here!!!!

Excellent Experience

This place is just as described. Clean, neat, and had just what we needed. Bathroom was just right. Stan and Liz were available if needed - responded quickly and accommodating. The location is very good....close to shopping, the beach, and a great walking trail close by at So. Lemon Bay. It was perfect for just the two of us. Just be aware you do need to climb a set of stairs to access the living space. This was no problem for us. Would certainly do it again!
