About this property
Escape the cold and gray at our "Labor of Love"
This renovated and updated 2 bedroom/2 bath (sleeps 4) home is located in a quiet, desirable South Venice neighborhood. Decorated with cool, calm colors and comfortable furnishings, our guests feel immediately at home! The cathedral entrance provides an open living space between the living/dining and kitchen spaces. The 2 bedrooms, each with their own bath and large walk-in closet, has sliders that open to outdoor spaces. A screened lanai is located off the dining area and master bedroom which offers even more living space. A full size washer and dryer are also available and located within the garage. The house "backs up" to the Legacy Bike Trail, with a winding path that leads to the trail and intercostal waterway. Make a left turn down the Legacy Trail, and within a 10 minute walk you've arrived at Shamrock Park and Nature Preserve. This gem boasts multiple paths to walk, bike, and run; multiple tennis and basketball courts; a large, canopy-covered playground; and a butterfly garden that includes local plants. The beaches on Venice Island and Manasota Key are a close 7-10 minute car ride, with Casey Key located approximately 15 minutes away. There is a variety of parks for hiking, bird watching, and even kayaking in the Venice area, including Oscar Scherer State Park. We have a strict no smokers/no vapers/no tokers/no pets policy for renting guests and their visitors-do no inquire if applicable

About the host
Hosted by Mary Lynne Bisone
My husband and I appreciate and strive to provide what travelers want in their home to feel comfortable and "at home!" We are NOT absentee/distant hosts and home owners-we are "present" and close by, so if guests have questions, concerns, we can address them quickly!
Why they chose this property
We chose this house after living several years in the neighborhood...a home that needed "loved" and was in a special location-a path that led from its backyard to the Legacy Bike Path, intercostal, and Shamrock Park. A location that could be appreciated by couples and families alike! The majority of neighbors live here year-around so you'll see familiar faces walking, riding due to the layout of our block, there is minimal traffic.
What makes this property unique
This location in South Venice is very convenient to many beaches without the long waits on the bridges!!
