We didn't know what to expect since the Kon Tiki has no website and not many pictures available but we've been stung on misleading websites too! The hosts, Jackie and Karl, are very nice and laid back. Very willing to help. We liked our spacious room with all the amenities. The look is rather dated but very clean. If you're... More

My husband and I stayed a couple nights at the Kon Tiki in Venice and had a great time. The room was clean and spacious with a view of the Venetian Waterway. Fully equipped kitchen(no oven but everything else) We were able to ride out of the parking lot right onto the bike trail. Management very friendly and knowledgeable. Price... More

I watched this hotel being built in the early '70s. I was coming back to Venice by boat and this is the only motel with navigable access (it is adjacent to a Marine Max marina) I could find in Venice. I didn't expect too much given the low $80 price. I was wrong. The room was spacious, with a full... More

wow! I was completely blown away with this little hidden gem in Venice, FL!! I previously stayed somewhere else in town and I will never stay anywhere else again. I was in town for LPGA qschool at Plantation Golf Club. It's only about a ten minute drive. I chose Kon Tiki based on the great reviews and the very pet... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few days in room 7 and we loved it! Everything is close by even the beaches and everyone is so friendly and the rooms are so clean and well kept, the pool was soooooooo nice. Karl, "Thank you" so much for all the helpful tips on the sharks teeth we will be... More

We spent 2 days with Karl @ Kon Tiki & enjoyed every moment. Even though it is next door to a boat shop, you would never know it. It is tucked in between the drawbridge and boat business and secluded so well. We never heard any noise from either so no issues there! Karl is so kind and accomodating. I... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 full weeks. We can honestly say that there isn't anything negative about this place in our eyes. Karl, Jackie & Linda couldn't be nicer. They take care of the facility and their guests perfectly. With only 10 efficiencies that are comfortable and spacious, heated swimming pool, central HVAC (no noisy window AC... More

My husband and I decided to take advantage of Venice's dog beach during our annual visit to see his great aunt. We planned to stay at her house which does not allow dogs, and board our pit lab mix. However, the boarding kennel was less than we hoped for and we picked up our dog after one night. We set... More

There are only about 10 or so efficiency units that are like a time-capsule from the 70's ( if not the 50"s). The units are extremely clean and the staff works very hard and are very helpful. Don't expect to be able to cook much as the kitchens are not well equipped. There is a BBQ for guests' use. The... More
