About the host
Hosted by Edie & Greg
We both grew up in Venice, know the area extremely well and spent a considerable amount of time choosing the perfect "fixer upper" to scratch our itch for remodeling homes. In 2014, when we found Laurel Bungalow it was a no brainer, with its 1950's charm, ideal location and space for expansion, this was a perfect fit for us. Our vision was to create a home space where we would never have to leave or go on vacation because home FELT like vacation. The home has been completely remodeled and updated with all the creature comforts while preserving its simple, original charm. The backyard has been designed with care; ideal for morning coffee, pool gatherings, outdoor dinners with friends, football watching from the pool, sipping wine while the sun sets and just about every scenario you could envision. We added the pool, covered patio with outdoor kitchen and t.v., detached garage and pool house (personally used for guests w/ a luxury Murphy bed) and our very own home theater with reclining seats and 86" TV!
Why they chose this property
Comfortable, quaint, convenient to EVERYTHING, equipped with all the Florida amenities you would need right at home. Quiet neighborhood with tennis and pickle ball court 5 blocks from home, neighborhood park for children but close to downtown, beach and activities. Home office with high speed WiFi to work remotely. Pool- Outdoor Kitchen- Home Theater- Fenced Yard- Outdoor Shower- Outdoor TV. If you like to spend time outside, with the comforts of home, this is the place for you.
What makes this property unique

Home office w/ high speed WiFi to work remotely, screened porch, open air covered porch, heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, gas grill, Green Egg, gas fire-table, fenced yard, cedar outdoor shower with hot water. Distance from downtown, beaches, Legacy Trail under 2 miles. Pickleball, tennis and basketball 5 blocks away.
