A beautiful and well appointed home, convenient to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Birgit’s home is immaculate and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our family had a wonderful time, and we especially enjoyed the pool area. We would love to stay again!

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.

We had the best of everything in the house on Alligator Dr. Villa Happy Gator was so well stocked, clean and inviting. Birgit was a pleasure to work with during our rental process. I would recommend this home and we will try to rebook if there is ever a vacancy during our vacation time.

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.

My friends from work and I went. The home was immaculate. Plenty of room inside and outside. We loved the pool area. We loved the simplicity of how the home was decorated. It was centrally located. We visited all the beaches and Gasprilla island. I would definitely return to this home. Was so worth it.❤☀️☀️

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.

Villa Happy Gator exceeded our expectations. The house was very clean and well stocked. Check in and out was extremely easy. The pool was great for the 4 adults and our 6 and 11 year old grandkids. They spent many hours in it. The house is very close to many beaches and to the ferry to the private beach. We appreciated the ferry pass coming with the house rental. Birgit was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all our questions. We all agreed this was an excellent vacation rental and would stay here again.

Venice is AMAZING! The house was super clean! Well organized. The pool was beautiful and we loved the fence around it for our kiddos. The beds were comfortable. The overall home was beautiful and conveniently located near all the best beaches, restaurants, & shops. Birgit was very accomodating, and her property manager Rene was there in a hurry when we needed something. There were lots of thoughtful extra’s (toys for the kids, beach equipment, etc) We would definitely come back. 😊 Thank you for a wonderful vacation Birgit! My family and I enjoyed ourselves.

Our family spent three days here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The home is tucked away in a residential area away from the noisy streets. You can tell the owner takes pride in this home as it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. She was also great at sharing information regarding the area, the home itself and even the weather! We were arriving at a time when the red tide had been affecting the beaches. We really lucked out in our timing and were able to spend some time on a private part of Caspersan beach. The kids are still talking about this place. Thank you for opening your home to us.

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
