David has taken exceptional care of my instruments.
Just came back from the shop. It was in downtown Venice. The owner was a very knowledgeable violin maker. He fixed my son’s bow (bought from elsewhere) for free. He explained to me what the problem was, and he went the extend of drawing a diagram to show me. I will probably go to him again when we need a bigger violin.
Love this place, very friendly owners.

6. Karen’s Violins
Address: 100 W Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
My son has been taking lessons with Karen for almost a year now and he has really enjoyed it so far. Karen is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to anyone considering violin lessons in the area.
7. Palm Strings Quartet
Address: 100 W Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
10/10 recommend. Responsive, attentive and accommodating to my playlist requests. The musician was nicely synced and I could easily make out what she was playing. It could have been a little louder, but I am overall satisfied with the performance. My guests enjoyed a violin on the beach.

11. island recording studio
Address: 101 W Venice Ave, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
What a fun place, I never know what I’m going to find but always find some treasure that’s in like-new condition and VERY reasonably priced… and all for the good of the kitties! WIN/WIN! >^..^<
It was excellent. The lady’s are so kind and helpful. We really enjoy going in to see the cats !
Fun
Nice store, good clean items
Great friendly place with some great treasures
Nice shop! Found some bargains!
13. The Salvation Army Family Store
Address: 1160 US Hwy 41, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
Very cheap furniture. Sometimes they have 80 pecent off. Got two book shelfs for 6$
Construction on Tamiami Trail STILL makes access a bit challenging. Good prices, wide isles, clean and efficient staff.
I like Salvation Army. The prices are good. However ,for some reason, items (household) are often chipped. Do people donate chipped goods? Or are the employees careless with donations?
Not the best thrift store around, only a few of the staff appear to want to be there so hardly any smiles, and the pricing is very random and can be way out sometimes. Saying that, it is still a good fun place to rummage through for a hidden gem.
I was interested in a serger sewing machine the price was fine it was not a new machine so you know you are getting something that may have issues. I specifically asked the man at the counter if it ran and he said they will only put it out front if it runs. I asked if I took it home and it didn’t run can I bring it back he said No once it leaves the store no returns , he directed me to some outlets and said I could try it before I bought it . So low and behold the foot pedal was not for this machine no way to test it. it wouldn’t fit no matter how many times he tried to plug it into the machine . He went searching for the right pedal then came back and said this is the one that came in with the machine . So did he lie about testing it ?? Buyer Beware.
Prefer goodwill on The island I was given the stink eye for no mask
Store is cluttered hard to look at things.
14. Office Depot
Address: 1564 U.S. 41 Bypass S, Venice, FL 34293 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
Everyone treats you like family they are fantastic to deal with amazing wonderful
Great staff. Wonderful selection. Always a pleasure to shop there . It’s clean quiet and efficient .
Solid experience. Found what I needed, the associates were very helpful, went into the back to find my product (not available) but came out with good alternatives
no help finding products
Smaller store but nice.
There are just about any type of office supplies available. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Lack of customer service in store is sending me back to Amazon for ordering.
10-24-16 @ 1:15 pm – Found the popcorn and boxes I needed, boxes were buy 3 get 1 free. The guy at the checkout even pointed this out to me. After ringing up the sale he then charged me for an extra box anyway. I thought the total was high but I stopped inside the store and saw he had overcharged me. There was no apology from him. I had him refund the amount to my card. I was juggling a huge bag of popcorn, 3 boxes and my special needs child. I think he tried to take advantage of this. I will not be back to this store.
Went in to purchase a laptop was totally ignored, several workers walked by and would not look up.we left and will never return .This store is a waste of space,I drove to office max on Beeridge and Tuttle in sarasota where the customer service was outstanding!
15. Habitat for Humanity ReStore
Address: 1400 Ogden Rd, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
Great prices! Clean and neat.
I bought 16 dresses for half of one dress!!
As usual, excellent instru tions.
Some nice almost new furniture and supports a great cause. Good place to get a deal on paint and supplies.
Alot of home furnishings and clothing.
Always find something to buy..
It’s a thrift store! Sometimes there are decent bargains
This place is so expensive 1200 for used bunk beds are you kidding me they get it for free and sell more then when new
They have a nice selection of items, but their customer service is poor. The volunteers follow you around the store and treat you like a criminal shoplifter. After having two volunteers follow me and stare at me for half an hour they asked me a hundred questions about what I was doing there and “did you buy anything last time you were here?” to try to determine if I was a shoplifter. I have worked hard as a volunteer for Habitat to help them build a house in Bradenton for a poor family, so I was disappointed that they had no respect for a fellow volunteer who contributes to their organization. What a humiliating experience. I will never donate or build a house for Habitat again. Shop at Goodwill instead.
i made a pickup request online and received a email verification. the agreed pickup time came and gone. i called, first they did not find my confirmed pickup, then the guy said habitat rescheduled my pickup time but did not contact me. now the second pickup time came and gone. how disappointing.
16. Info Pilgrims
Address: pattison bldg, 260 Miami Ave W, Venice, FL 34285 , Venice Gardens , Florida , United States
I love this place ! Great selection of oracle and tarot cards
I love book stores !!!
Great place to hang out and read with a cup of joe. I find things here I didn’t even know I was looking for! Low pressure salespeople but helpful and friendly. You should check it out.
Costs too much to buy a book but love the cafe and ambiance
Place is great a lot of books it can be overwhelming . I went today with my son and he was a lil lost. A young lady name Grace was awesome and helpful. Thank you:)
Organized and good customer service.
Honestly I’m appalled at the way I was treated. Despite living in Venice for 14 years and regularly visiting this store I will never come back. Avoid this store or just shop online. Female Manager was rude and I felt unwelcome.
Not helpful can get a book to study for a new york police test but not florida
