Best hospitality, best breakfast, and best price! It's a very comfortable home away from home, with lots of parking for your car, and in a good location, within walking distance of excellent restaurants and entertainment, and not very far from Venice beaches and a great bike path.

A historic hotel in the heart of Venice. Lois Steketee is one of the most hospitable hosts and it was a pleasure staying there. We were offered bikes when we first arrived, they are the perfect vehicle for discovering the beautiful sites of Venice, a gem on Florida's west coast. The room was tastefully decorated and Lois cooks you a... More

Wonderful, wonderful, this Inn is spotless and has such a nice feel. Every room is different with it's own theme. Lois and Jon are great host. Love breakfast time, nice to visit with the other guest and Lois. Both mornings the food was outstanding. The Inn is walking distance to the downtown shopping area. There was an art show the... More

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.

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...
