This charming two bedroom, one bath cottage has a well-equipped full kitchen & dining room, comfortable living room with TV, laundry room, convenient work station with desk and chair, and free WiFi. The cottage is beautifully decorated in a seaside theme with original art by well-known artists Carroll Swayze & Rich Fizer, giving their guests the feeling of a true Florida beach vacation. The two artists live on the property and have their working art studios there as well, so guests are always encouraged to visit the gallery and watch art being made. The cottage sits in a 4 ½ acre park-like setting of tropical palms and fruit trees with shaded private parking and an outdoor patio area with table, chairs, umbrella and a gas grill. Centrally located off Venice Avenue, beaches, shopping, restaurants, golf courses, kayaking, fossil hunting, fishing, tennis, pickleball are all literally minutes away. Historic downtown Venice is close by as well as weekly farmers markets and many good live music venues including Englewood’s On Dearborn Street which has live National Blues Bands every Wednesday & Thursday nights. The cottage is private and quiet with lush tropical greenery and a natural pond which is the home of some of Florida’s most exquisite birds. It’s not unusual to see egrets, blue herons, wood storks, flocks of ibis, and plenty of other breathtaking species while you’re having your morning coffee. Since Venice is known as the “Shark Tooth Capital of the World’ you’ll want to look for treasures. Our beach box is full of everything you need for a fun day at the beach including chairs, towels & shark tooth scoops.
