My husband and I recently returned from an 8 day stay at this incredible condo! The moment we walked through the door we were so pleased this was the one that we choose for our vacation. From the very start it felt like a home away from home. The condo is tastefully decorated, extremely clean and tidy and has everything one would need for a comfortable stay. As I enjoy cooking I was thrilled to find the kitchen so well equipped with cookware and utensils. An extra special touch was the small grocery cart located in the shed by the carport for transporting our groceries from the car to the condo. This condo although on the 2nd floor had an elevator making it so accessible to get to and the plus was it was an added incentive to the view! Being situated on the 2nd floor gave us a wonderful view from the lanai. Loved the lanai! We so enjoyed having our morning coffee & tea sitting watching the early morning golfers, such a pretty view! The bedroom has a comfy king size bed and plenty of room for clothing and a huge walk in closet for luggage, shoes, etc. Having a washer and dryer was terrific. The photos of this condo are truly what you get, the living space is spacious and comfortable and our entire time there was peaceful and quiet. The pool is very close by and looked very inviting although we did not get the chance to enjoy it. The Plantations where this condo is located is in a lovely quiet area and less then 10 minutes down the road you will find the grocery market Publix, Walmart, CVS, and other shopping. Also it is a short drive to downtown Venice, restaurants, beaches and jumping on RT 75 to take you in any direction. A special thank you goes to you Jeff for sharing your beautiful condo and making our getaway so enjoyable. Jeff was a great help in planning our stay, very personable, returned our calls promptly to answer any questions, and goes out of his way to make your stay enjoyable. This listing is definitely a "keeper" for a short or long term stay. We will most certainly return to this beautiful condo on our next stay in Venice. Can't wait to get back! Thank you again Jeff!
