My Italy experience is mostly limited to the South, except for a couple of days in Venice on a cool Austria, Slovenia, Italy (Venice) road trip loop we did once.
When we went to Venice, we had a car. We chose accommodation on the island of Lido that actually had parking, and there was regular vaporetto service. It worked out well for us, and Lido had a decent beach, restaurants, etc. and wasn't as busy and awkward as Venice proper.
Another option (if you are driving) is to park at the Tronchetto (giant "new island" built for the almighty car).
But being perfectly honest, as much as I like driving in Italy, trains in Italy are better than they used to be. And sometimes a car can represent freedom, and sometimes it is hindrance.
