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

Florida vacation
Labor of Love was perfect for my wife and I. The home was clean, the floor plan was efficient and it is located in a quiet neighborhood. We loved its proximity of being within 1-3 miles of shopping, beaches and restaurants. Mary Lynne was an excellent host and checked in with us several times to make sure that all was well with our stay. We highly recommend the Labor of Love.

Disapointed Vaccation
One typically goes on vacation to relax and enjoy their vacation. That was part of our expectations when we booked this past vacation. The house was lovely the interaction of several text messages from the house owner over things that weren't being done made for a high anxiety vacation far from the relaxing one we had planned.

Amazing Stay
The house was perfect in every way. Gary and Mary were the perfect Host and Hostess! They thought of every convenience for their renters! Any questions we had were answered immediately! We loved having the Legacy Trail in our back yard. We were privileged to be a part of Bobcat and Dolphin sightings! We recommend this labor of love home to anyone who enjoys walking and loves the Great outdoors! Having close access to so many of the area beach’s is also a plus. You will not be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lynne Bisone

Host profile image
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!!
