Stayed here with my old dog for a month at the beach and it was perfection. The house is just a walk from the water but far enough away from the strand that you get the charm of Venice without the sound of tourism invading your mind. The house had all the kind of cookware one might need and all I had to do was take a quick trip to the grocery story to have everything I could want. I didn't finish the writing project I hoped to finish but I did get a tan.
