About this House

A detached 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath Venice house with private gated front and back yards.

This is a standalone main house, not an apartment or back unit.

What makes this home different from many nearby 2-bedroom options: central A/C and heat, an in-unit washer and dryer, a separate half bath, and outdoor space of your own. The main living areas have hardwood floors. The kitchen includes a garden window, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven and microwave. The main bathroom has a deep soaking tub.

Delivered unfurnished for a 12-month lease. The photos show the current furnished setup, and furnished delivery can be considered if you'd prefer it.

Weekly gardening and routine preventative pest service are included at no additional charge.

This is an owner-managed home, and messages are answered directly. If you'd like to see the house, send me a day and time that works and I'll get you in. We'll do a quick call first to confirm basic details.

I would keep an eye on younger kids as Venice doesn’t always bring the best elements to the beach... all in all, it’s a fun diverse place with people from all over the world and all different social and economic backgrounds and a great place in my opinion."
