Beach house

We loved staying here, we traveled with our 3 children and it was perfect. We swam in the pool, fished off the dock and went to 2 local beaches. The house was centrally located withing 10 minutes to the beach where we searched for sharks teeth.

Lovely Home with Water Views

This home was perfect for us. The lanai overlooking both a pool and a waterway was the perfect place to relax at the end of our busy days. The location worked well for golf, beaches, and a spring training baseball game in Sarasota for our home team, the Orioles. The owner provided great communication to help us with check in. We would stay at this home again if we travel to Nokomis.

Nokomis 2 BR home

We enjoyed our 5 day stay at this home and Christine was very helpful when we needed her. Everything we needed was supplied for us, the neighborhood was accessible to restaurants and beach and it was nice to see kayakers on the water behind the house. We'd definitely come back again, but probably in the summer when the pool is warm, since it's not heated.

Great location

Overall, the place was great. Quick ride to publix and the beaches and downtown Venice. The neighborhood was nice, quiet and safe. The pool was great to jump in after a long day at the beach, and the backyard a beautiful view to start the day. The backyard needed to be weeded and the back porch swept out, but overall, a clean place. Owners responded right away to any questions I might have had.

Our new favorite place!!

We have been coming down to the Nokomis area six years now and this is the best rental we have stayed at. The house was spotless and very comfortable. The pool on the bay was amazing. We were in there 4-5 hours each night. Great beach gear saved us some money. 5-7 minutes from all the best shops, restaurants, and beaches. Management company responded right away with any questions.

Perfect location

Loved having the pool and bay right out the back door. We had communicated that we were bringing our 18 ft center console with us from Texas for the boat lift, but there was a boat stored in the lift when we arrived. We just moored dockside, so not a big deal, but was a little disappointed. The beds were so comfortable! Slept crazy good in the master. Loved all the beach equipment and kitchen had everything I could ask for to prep any size meal! My one suggestion is for rod holders on the dock or even a pvc in the bank. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Perfect for the Family

The house was perfect for my little family. I brought my 10 year old son and 85 year old mother. She loved how well the kitchen was stock with everything one could need. Every morning she made coffee, they had both types of coffee makers, and breakfast. The house had the basic spices including salt and pepper. The pool was cold but that didn’t stop my son. After returning from the beach, he swam every afternoon. He found plenty of sharks’ teeth on the beach. When I had questions about the TV the host responded in a timely manner. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were super clean. I was able to unwind from my stressful job and just relax.

Quiet residential neighborhood

The two bedroom is home situated near the end of a cul-de-sac. There is a very nice screened in area with a table and chairs, making the room comfortable for sheltered outdoor dining. The screened in area opens on to an open deck with a rather large well-kept pool. Despite the oppressive Florida heat and humidity, the house was cool and comfortable. Walking in the evenings, the neighborhood was very quiet and safe. The old downtown (i.e., boutique) part of Venice is about a seven minute drive. We enjoyed the Saturday morning farmer’s market, which, in the off-season, was modest and uncrowded. We bought some wonderful fresh challa, and even some gluten free bread. We did delivery pizza dinner from Made in Italy. All very good, but family members were especially pleased with the gluten free crust pizza. Also scope out the oil and vinegar place. Given the opportunity, we will be back.
