Perfect location for fishing from Venice
The property owner is outstanding. He communicated regularly with us as we watched for Hurricane Francine to pass. The houseboat has been well maintained and looks the same as when I stayed there 6 years ago. The houseboat is comfortable, spacious, and laid out well. The floor plan allows for everyone to participate in cooking, watching football, and reliving the day’s fishing. We also enjoyed watching all the boat traffic from the back porch. It is the perfect base for fishing from Venice. I will stay here the next time I am back to fish.

Great location and exactly as described
We had a great time and the captain’s picked us up off the back porch. House was clean and had a good layout. We would definitely rent again. I have rented a lot of places through VRBO and the owner interactions were the best I’ve had .

Great stay in Venice!
Great spot and convenient: clean, good size for larger groups, and within walking distance to the marina and restaurant. Our inshore fishing guide picked us up right at the back door. Nice ice machine too. Enjoyed watching the tuna boats coming into the marina in the afternoon. Doug is great, A++

Fished everyday and killed the reds. Accommodations were perfect on the Dorado and everyone thought it was the best boat we’ve rented so far. We’ll be back.

Big time save
My original verbo that I booked cancelled on me just hours before check in and verbo wasn’t being much of a help when I was stranded with no where to stay 17 hours from home but when I found this spot he answered extremely fast and was up front honest and a huge help definitely will be coming back

Tuna fishing
We had a great time in Venice. The stay at the Verado was nice. Captains both days knew exactly where we were to pick us up. It was a little further from the marina than I had thought but not a big deal. We will be back.
