Great place to stay
Everything was great, very clean and bright. Our only disappointment was the king size bed was actually (2) single mattress pushed together, and not comfortable. We chose to sleep on the double bed in 2nd bedroom. Overall we had a wonderful stay @ Happy Gator

Successful 50th Anniversary
If you want to be a successful grandparent, rent a house with a pool! This house had a wonderful safe salt water pool, with separate rooms for our son’s family. It was easy to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in such a well-kept house.

Very nice, clean, and well maintained house.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Gator. It was perfect for our trip to Venice to sight see and visit family. The property is very well maintained and everything is very organized. The house also had a lot of items to help make your stay even better like items for the beach and bicycles. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking to visit Venice, Fl.

Very nice place
The pictures really don’t do it justice. It was very close to several beaches, and we visited many of them. The only thing I disliked about the property was the sulfur smell of the water. It is quite strong and makes the house smell of sulphuric as well.

Beach getaway
This house was wonderful for us, and is located very close to many beaches on the west coast. We primarily visited beaches and used the pool, and everything was great. The house is furnished with way more than we actually needed, so I imagine it would make just about any family very happy. Nothing went wrong while we were there, so we were very happy with our stay. We'd certainly stay there again if we traveled back to the area.
