This was our second stay at The Sanctuary, for a reason. Very comfortable beds, well equipped, large and sunny kitchen, and location. The host Denise could not be more accommodating and generous. We liked being able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops and Whole Foods (there’s a pull cart for carrying groceries), and we used the bike provided and rented an additional one for rides around the neighborhood or along the boardwalk at the beach. The only drawbacks to this place are that it is an older home — cold and drafty in the winter, and a little beat up — and there is no TV or microwave (good wifi for streaming on your own device tho). But the heat works well and there are additional space heaters available. The house is charming with a lovely front yard, and there’s a super friendly and helpful handyman. We would stay there again if we want to be in Venice again.
