We really loved this Inn. Beautifully furnished rooms (ours was one of the two upstairs rooms), and kept immaculately clean. We had our own fire escape entry/exit, which meant we could come and go without walking through the rest of the lovely house. We didn't meet John, but Lois was great - she gives a really amusing introduction to the... More

Excellently located B & B for the centre of Venice. Very quiet location, a five minute walk from the main street of Venice. The Inn Keepers, Lois and Jon, were wonderful hosts, unfortunately breakfast timing was a little short. 8:15 to 9:00. and there was no choice apart from fruit juice (3) the rest was as given. More

Our hostess, Lois, owned the hotel with her husband and she could not have been nicer or more helpful about the attractions in Venice. We took the room at the far end of the b&b, a yellow and white room (Seaside) that was both large and comfortable. We are not big breakfast folks, so perhaps the best part of the... More

I would give the Horse and Chaise 5+ stars based solely on hospitality, but insignificant flaws prevent granting a top rating. I am very eager for a return visit. Lois the Innkeeper exceeding expectations time after time makes this place exceptional. I faced several challenges with this vacation, and she really saved the experience for me at least three times.... More

On our road trip through Florida we decided to make an overnight stop in lovely Venice and made a random search on Google to find this B&B. We were so glad we stopped here! It is a lovely B&B with a welcoming couple of owners. The Landmark suite is large and has one of the best appointed bathrooms we came... More

Our hosts, Lois and John Steketee, run a beaurtifully-organized B & B. They have thought of everything you will need. It is lovely to sit on the deck under the banyan tree in a cushioned adirondack chair. Lois and John kindly took me over to the near by health center when I fell and cut my chin. They really took...

Our sons surprised us for our 50th wedding anniversary with a king room at the Horse and Chaise Inn. What a wonderful surprise it was! After our warm welcome and tour of the property, we were shown our large, second floor king room. It was huge and decorated in the turn of the century style, but modern and spotlessly clean.... More

For a random selection from a Google Search (Bed and Breakfast in Venice, Florida), we couldn't have found a better place to spend our week-long honeymoon. Friendly, clean, reasonable prices - and great food! When we weren't eating the homemade breakfasts (7 nights there and a different breakfast food every morning!), John gave us great recommendations for lunch and dinner.... More

I cannot add much to those reviews that precede mine .. convenient, comfortable, well-prepared though sweetened breakfast, helpful and dedicated hostess, reasonably priced. My visit was one night as a mini-vacation during a week long visit to my elderly mother on the east coast of Florida. The town's shopping district has many restaurants and the usual gift and clothing boutiques.... More
