Flamingo House - Experience Old Florida!

Come experience Old Florida in our circa 1957 Mid-Century Modern home! It boasts open living areas with the bedrooms on one wing of the house. A glassed in lanai stretches across the entire back of the house. The floors are original terrazzo. There are many vintage furnishings throughout the house.

You will enjoy the large kitchen with original working cooktop and oven. It is well stocked and very pink!

Flamingo House has two bedrooms. The master has a king sized bed, and the second bedroom has a queen. Between the bedrooms you will find a beautiful vintage tiled bathroom that has been recently updated. We also have a laundry room/half bath combo, and we recently installed an outdoor shower!

There is a full sized sleeper in the living room as well as a roll away bed. The sofa on the lanai is quite comfy as well! You will find the laundry and half bath off the kitchen. In the mudroom you will find plenty of chairs and toys for the beach. We even have a sifter for all the sharks teeth you will find at the beach!

There are many public beaches close by. Manasota Beach is about 3 miles south of us. It has bathroom facilities and public parking. Blind Pass Beach, 8 miles south of us, is a state park with free parking, bathhouse facilities, and wide beaches. There are several excellent public beaches on Venice Island, including a dog beach.

Love this place!
This was our second time staying at the Flamingo House. This time we stayed for 3.5 weeks and love the property. The neighborhood is quiet, everyone around is nice, and the owner is great! Everything is close by and easy to get to, the house is fully furnished with everything you could think of including beach stuff. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Venice, thanks for a great few weeks!

Adorable retro Florida home
The decor has a new vintage vibe. We loved having the bikes to use and the house was stocked with everything we needed - even a special delivery of some local coffee for our stay!

Fantastic home in Venice
Spacious home with retro character! Mitzi has thought of everything her guests might need & gave us great suggestions for restaurants & activities! Everyone we met (several neighbors,sales clerks,even the cashier @ carwash) was friendly! Being bird watchers, we loved the Audubon rookery,which is nearby & all the egrets & storks that frequent the neighborhood!We hope to return.

Old Florida is a win
This property suited our life style. It is near beaches, golf courses and a 5 star biking trail and many restaurants. We also enjoy the open concept inside the home. The owner is very easy to communicate with.

Adorable MCM vibe
Great little property. Love the vintage vibe. Close to everything. Equipped with everything you need for an extended stay. Mitzi communicated quickly and resolved small faucet issue swiftly. Beds were comfy. Great little fenced in area for the pupper. Nice neighborhood. Street is a little busy at times but no problems. Highly recommend.

Clean and Funky
The house was very clean and maintained very well. It appeared to have original working appliances (stove and oven) and a very unique decor. The house was more than spacious for our family of 5.

Perfect Florida getaway!
We went for the weekend to do some shark teeth hunting and really enjoyed our stay. The house was super clean and comfortable and it a great location to visit all the surrounding beaches and activities. The neighborhood was clean and quiet and we felt very safe and relaxed. Mitzi provided everything we needed as well to help us enjoy the weekend. And I LOVE the flamingo wall paper in the bathroom - so cute!! Great house - I would recommend staying here and would do so again. Thanks Mitzi!!

We will be returning
Before arriving to the Flamingo house, Mitzi was in contact to send information about the house and check in process as well as to answer any questions we might have prior to arrival. Upon arrival, the check in process was easy. The house was super cute, comfortable and clean!!! The house is in a nice neighborhood and has a yard, so we felt comfortable letting the kids run around and play in the yard. We brought towels and chairs and umbrellas with us but as it turns out, Mitzi already has the house stocked full of all those things for the beach. Any time we had a question, I was able to message Mitzi and get a prompt response. She was extremely helpful! We were so thrilled with everything, we booked an extra night. We are already planning our next trip to the Flamingo house. If you book your stay here are the Flamingo house, you won’t be disappointed!!

Quick access to Venice attractions
The property is a step back into 1950s Florida; we especially liked the range top with push-button temperature selection. We haven't seen one like that in 40 years. It was very clean and comes with a few bicycles, although we brought our own bikes. There is even a bicycle pump provided. There are plenty of excellent seafood restaurants 10-15 minutes away; the beach areas are about the same distance. We have two small dogs who enjoyed the house and Brohard Paw Park on the beach. Every day there were 30-50 dogs running around that beach, having a great time. The only concern we had was Flamingo Road--in front of the house. Some people travel far too fast down that narrow roadway, which can be a bit hazardous for dog walking and biking. That's not the owner's fault; some people just lack common sense in the way they drive. We found it better to transport our dogs to other locations for their daily exercise.

Cute Flamingo house!
Cute, retro house. The neighborhood was very quiet and nice. Close to beach, restaurants and shops. All the amenities we could need. Lots of great books too. Very thoughtfully maintained. Not fancy or glitzy. Old-fashioned, clean and cute!

Great comfortable House
Mitzi was a great host. Communication was excellent. House was exactly as described. We found house very comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was clean. Tv is streaming only. Netflix included. Outside shower was great and outside dining area comfortable. Car port was nice because it was shaded. General area was beautiful. Very scenic we enjoyed our visit.

Florida paradise
My husband and I really enjoyed this rental, so much so we are renting for 3 months next year. Number one for me was the beach and beach ferry! My husband loved the surrounding golf courses. I also really enjoyed the Shamrock biking path on the Venetian waterway. The rental exceeded our expectations!

Great home so much fun
We enjoyed the Flamingo house we stayedinit for 30 days. Mitzi is so nice and kind. The house is located in a great neighborhood near amazing beaches and great restaurants. The house had beach chairs umbrellas and bikes so we could use on our stay. They have a ferry pass so we could go in for a ride. And the shower out side is a great idea so we could wash our self and the kids so we didn't get sand in the house. I would recommend this place.

Great little house!
We stayed for a long weekend with a friend and everyone loved the property! The owner communicated directly and helped us with restaurant selections. The house has everything you need including beach stuff. Checking was a breeze as well as checkout. The house was clean, tidy and had a great old time Florida feel! It was close to the main road and the neighborhood is quiet and quaint. We get to Venice often and will definitely stay again! Thanks for the nice place!

Great house, Great location!!!
The house is much nicer than the pics! It is furnished and decorated in mid century, Old Florida. I absolutely loved this home! Having washer and dryer very convenient! Outdoor shower was much needed!! Location was great- we used the neighborhood ferry to go to the beach. Even though there was red tide during our stay, this beach is just beautiful and not crowded at all! Perfect for anyone who doesn’t care for crowded beaches:) We also went to Caspersen Beach and found a few small sharks teeth- that was a great day at the beach as well! Overall a great stay!
