Venice Florida Beach Vacation Rentals Home Finds Matches Online

By Anonymous



Venice, FL July 20, 2004 -- Venice Florida Vacation Rentals Home is a beach vacations rental home 2 blocks from the beaches. This is how Steve Milo's listing reads for his Florida vacation home on the Rentalo.com vacation rental homes web site.

Through the use of sites like Rentalo.com, Vacationhomes.com and A1Vacations.com, Steve Milo has an increased demand for renters than can fill.

According to Milo, he initially bought his vacation house near Venice Beach Florida in 2002. He thought it would be easy to rent the cute little Florida beach cottage as it was only 2 blocks away from the Venice FL beach.

He listed it with a local management company and after 3 months of no responses he got worried. Then, he discovered Internet vacation rental homes sites and listed the house. Soon, his email box was brimming with inquiries from travelers around the world.

Milo said the key to his Florida beach vacation villa success has been using lots of text and lots of photos.

Milo's web site features photos and descriptions of the house and the Venice Florida area. Here are some examples of Milo's text.

Our Venice Florida beach vacation rental home is only a 2 block walk to Casey Key's Nokomis state beach park one of the best beaches in Florida - offering nearly a 1000 feet of sandy white beach, restroom facilities, outdoor showers and lifeguards.

Our Venice Beach Florida vacation rental holiday villa is only a 1 block walk to the Florida intercoastal waterway where you can watch boats and also offers exceptional fishing spots. Our Venice vacation rental villa is also a 2 block walk to two wonderful seafood restaurants overlooking the bay including Pelican Bay which has excellent food and Pops Sunset Grill which has an outdoor bar and very affordable drinks.

Milo has also written plenty of text on the history of the Venice area.

Filled with pristine snow white beaches (the best in world according to the Oceanographic Institute), the tranquil Central Gulf Coast of Florida contains some of the most endearing small towns in Florida. Filled with galleries and cafes, Sarasota Florida and Venice Florida contain charming historic town centers that are only a short distance to spectacular bays and beaches.

Smaller in size but large in charm, Venice Florida features a historic town lined with trees, gardens and beautiful historic houses. The town of Venice FL can be best enjoyed by walking and exploring the side streets filled with coffee shops, art galleries and antique stores.

Venice Florida is actually a small island surrounded by breathtaking bays and is perfect for those looking for a vacation of low key sailing, kayaking or boating. In addition, Venice has several wonderful beaches the best of which include Casperson Park, Nokomis Beach and Brohard Park which includes the popular Venice pier.

Venice Florida is known for its beaches and the prehistoric sharks teeth that can be found here.

Venice Beach Florida itself has a population of only about 18,600 people in the summer and about 24,000 people in the winter.

The northern Italian Renaissance architectural theme was chosen and a town of grace and beauty began to grow along the golden sands and blue-green waters.

Today, the city of Venice, Florida has many fine amenities, including a yacht club, community center, community theater and professional dinner theater, an art center, library and many fine restaurants.

According to Milo, the photos and text have helped him attract travelers from all over the world. We've had vacationers from England, the Netherlands, Germany and Canada. Of course, the bulk of rentors still come from the United States.

According to Milo, the average age of his traveler is in the 50's. Since I only rent for stays of 1 month or longer, I have a lot of retirees. They really treat the house like it is their own.

Milo also finds that his policy towards accepting pets helps tremendously. Almost all of my guests have a cat or a dog. By being pet friendly, I've really increased the amount of travellers who will stay in my home.
