Dial up the Beach Boys - this beach
home’s got real surfer’s attitude. From
outside, the banana yellow exterior
and teal blue door reveal only that
inside, someone’s having much more fun
than you. Venice Island’s Villas
Mansion would love to have you.

Your master suite will fit your whole
family if traveling with kids or young
teens - the space holds a king bed and
a queen-sized futon. A large second
bedroom has the same configuration -
making this home a great choice for
lots of families vacationing together.
Two queen beds in the third bedroom
comfortably fit four more guests and,
yes, there’s new furniture, too.

Bedrooms four and five? Two twin beds
in both - who will room together and
enjoy secretive late-night chats? The
large office doubles as a sixth
bedroom with a queen sleeper bed.
Three bathrooms allow even a large
group of 16 to get out the door on
schedule - when restaurant
reservations or a day trip calls. Each
bathroom has a standing shower and one
has a bathtub - of great use to
parents with younger children.

Get to know the outdoors from the
sanctuary of your lanai - a screened,
outdoors living room. Within? A large
heated pool - big enough for every
game you can think of and lots of
seating for the party poopers who ‘don’t
want to get their hair wet’ (throw them
in anyway). Your gorgeous heated pool
has brand new heating machinery -
indicative of the owner’s care in their
property.

An air-conditioned pool house doubles
your entertainment space with a bar,
table and chairs and sofa - kids will
hide here as others seek - while
adults will like the chance to read in
certain peace and quiet. Fish netting
above the bamboo bar makes it pretty
clear: Its always 5 o’clock right here.

The living room’s high vaulted ceilings
carry fantastic Florida breezes and
the terrazzo tile floors - well, they
feel pretty great, too. Dark blue
micro fiber couches sit prettily next
to white wicker rockers and side
tables - while the large space means
the ambiance stays bright, uncluttered
and airy. Coming for the holidays? A
large LCD TV and available central
heating make this property fantastic
all year round.

Wifi internet is ready and working
from the minute you arrive - traveling
without this life-line can be so
frustrating. The kitchen has
everything you’ll need, including a
garbage disposal (because kids used to
one at home will never learn
otherwise). Yellow walls suggest fresh
lemonade and fresh muffins as vacation
staples - and a breakfast nook with
white wicker seating keeps your happy
campers close. A brand new dining
table in dark wood seats eight on
modern chairs with white cushions.

From home, it’s just three blocks to
the beach - grab your banana-seat bike
or race there in flip-flops. How many
shark’s teeth can you find in the sand?
Downtown Venice is nearby, too. Pet
owners will love the proximity to
nearby Venice dog beach, Brohard Paw
Park. Your backyard will never again
compare.

Stroll 15 minutes from the house to
sunny Venice Pier or - at night - try
great live music at Sharky’s. Google
map the property and its surroundings
(405 Villas Drive, Venice, Florida
34285) - this location has it all.
