Houseboat sit too low from the dock walkway at low tide and it’s kind of hazardous at checking in time. No water hoses to clean your catches. No wheel cart to move your belongings and coolers to unloading area even though it’s a short distance. Walk way has soft spots/holes that prove to be hazardous too. Cold AC, nice interior settings. Pretty old beaten towels are my summary.

Disappointed - we won't be back
Last year we stayed here and the whole house was leaning really badly...but otherwise it was ok.This year, the Wifi was there, but pretty much unusable. The ice machine wasn't working and the grill was out of propane. I would expect to have been told about this BEFORE we arrived, and not just told why it was just "normal". I stay in Venice at least 2x a year and that is not "normal". We won't be back there.

Venice fishing is the best
Nothing to do with the property, but use bottle water in the coffee pot as venice water is not the best.
Add a few more towels and wash rags please, and the gas grill does not work due to salt water corrosion. Other than that the stay was great and excellent fishing.

Perfect for what we needed
It was perfect for us. Easily accessible, clean, and just a good all around camp. Being right off the parking lot made unloading a breeze too. FWIW, it was me, a buddy, and two kids.

Almost 5 stars
Overall this was not a bad place to stay compared to others that I have stayed in there, BUT one big thing was when the tide went out you had to crawl out of the houseboat to get to the pier and to get back in you had to jump down. My wife is short and this was hard for her. The other thing was there was no ice scoop for the ice maker which was not a deal breaker but would have been nice if there was one (other places had them).

Nice boat house
Stay was great! had a little trouble finding the boat house and getting in but no big deal. I did call the owner and ask a few legitimate questions about ac, how to work TV etc because there were three remotes and some were missing batteries. Batteries were delivered the next day while we were fishing and the owner stopped by again to see if ac was working well and it was. What he did not realize is, I was in the bedroom while he was talking to my customer and telling him he just wanted to check on the AC because the lady there before them was complaining about the thermostat showing 72 but then he took it a step further and told my customer "but then again, she complained about everything" It was a nice boat house but if you decide to rent it, don't ask any questions or take the chance of being embarrassed in front of your customers/guests by the owner.

Good place to stay
The house was nice and clean. Beds comfortable. Perfect size for a small group of guys on a fishing adventure. Great not having to lug all the coolers and luggage a half mile across the dock. Parked less than 100 feet from the door..
