We have always loved the Venice area, the quaint downtown, farmers market, great restaurants. What we didn't know is how much we loved the beaches, Manasota, Venice and Nokomis(drum circle) . We also loved the North Jetty! The condo had everything we needed, we used the beach chairs , scooper and umbrella many times!!! The condo itself had everything that was needed! Comfortable and homey, and enjoyed the back lanai in the morning! Paul was an easy person to work with!
