We loved it here!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property is clean, well kept, and the furnishings and household items are good quality. It has everything you need (including an amazing pool!) for a Florida beach vacation. It’s a short drive to Sarasota & Siesta Key, and only 10 minutes from Nokomis Beach. Safe neighborhood. Roy was a great host, and I’d highly recommend this property!

Nice house and pool! Excellent location

We had 6 adults (3 couples) and the house fit us nicely. It was clean and had nice appliances. We got to keep our rental minivan in the garage which was a plus. The pool was really nice and larger/deeper than many. There were plenty of restaurants nearby. We went to Nokomis, Venice, and Caspersen beach and found lots of shark's teeth at all of them.

We loved Nokomis!

We just returned from 6 weeks at this house. It was very comfortable, the pool area was awesome, and we had a great time. The house was equipped with everything we could need, and the kitchen supplies were top notch—the best we’ve ever had! Roy responded to our needs quickly and thoroughly. The location was convenient to shopping and a plethora of restaurants. I would highly recommend this property!

Great place to stay!

We were impressed with the quality of the furnishings and kitchen amenities. There was a cold snap the week before we came and the pool was heated and ready for swimming the day we arrived. Everything was very well taken care of and attended to. Very spacious living room. We enjoyed a lot of time on the large lanai. The owner was quick to respond to a couple question we had. We had a great experience and will be back! Highly recommend!!

perfect family vacation spot

My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Roys property. The pictures listed are extremely accurate. The pool area was perfect for our family for swimming and entertaining. We can't say enough good things about the heated pool. The pool is huge and there are plenty of noodles and pool toys which kept our daughter entertained for hours. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The house is located in a great, quiet and safe neighborhood. The house is located close to anything you need. Roy was very responsive to any questions that we had before and during our stay.

Rental in Nokomis, FL

Home was comfortable and very clean. Pool was large and warm. We really appreciated this, since the weather was on the cool side several days of our trip. Our only complaint was that several of the window coverings did not operate well and appeared to be broken. Also, the water dispenser on the fridge leaked. These were minor issues. Overall great trip!

Beautiful home/wonderful host

Of all the homes we have stayed at in the area, this was by far the best ever. Roy is a wonderful host and very attentive to your needs. Everything need for a wonderful stay is provided. The house was immaculately clean. We visited all the local beaches, kayaked the mangrove tunnels on Lido Key, and canoed the Peace River in Arcadia and spent many hours enjoying the beautiful pool. We enjoyed lots of seafood at all the local restaurants, our favorite being Nokomis Hut. We hope to be back soon! Thank you Roy. Jen & Tom

Wonderful two month stay!

We received a warm telephone greeting as we were traveling to the home from Roy. The House exceeded our expectations especially the lanai and pool area. The pool was heated to 86 degrees. This was especially nice since we were renting Jan & Feb 2023. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved how close we were to several beaches, restaurants and bars. We also enjoyed a concert and a play in downtown Venice. Our host, Roy, was very responsive to our questions and requests. I recommend this property!

Great winter break :)

We stayed at the home for a week after Christmas. We planned the trip last minute therefore listings were scarce, but we couldn't have been more lucky to stay at your home. Everything was perfect, as described and accurately pictured. Our kids ages 3, 5 and 9 enjoyed the back yard pool everyday. The home is a short drive to several different beaches, however personally we loved Nokokis beach, especially since we were there on days where the sand was full of shells. We had plenty of towels, beach chairs and loved the beach cart to carry all the stuff we needed for the kids. We would definitely recommend the home to anyone.

Great house near Venice, FL

Great vacation house located near Venice and Sarasota FL. Easy to talk with owner, the house provided extras like detergent, soaps, garbage bags and paper towels - so all the basics were provided. The house was clean and in a good neighborhood. The heated swimming pool was great extra as well. Owner provided beach chairs and towels which we used to go nearby at Nokomis Beach. Many beaches nearby including Siesta Key and Venice Beach. The owner had some great restaurants listed and we also would like to add Dockside Waterfront Grill. All the restaurants we visited had water views and which are so relaxing including above Dockside, Crow's Nest in Venice and Phillippi Creek Restaurant in south Sarasota. We would highly recommend a stay here and would love to come back again. Thank you for a great place to vacation.

AMAZING House

I started looking for a house in Florida for Christmas break in October. I was only willing to stay in a house that had a positive review. Then this house popped up. No review but I loved the location. So glad I went with my gut. We had the BEST time. The house is BEAUTIFUL!!! The pool is HUGE. The kitchen is fully stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and very friendly. The owner, Roy, was great! He was super attentive and responded to any questions immediately. During the week we went to Nokomis Beach, Venice Beach, and Siesta Key Beach. We loved each beach and they were each just a short drive away. There was a Publix 1 mile away that was great so we could pop in for food for the beach. My kids are begging to go back next year. HIGHLY recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic vacation spot!

Terrific home in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We enjoyed our 11 days here. The large screened-in pool and lanai were amazing! The location is very convenient to activities and beaches. Nokomis beach is close by and was not crowded even over the holiday weekend. It was great to be able to spend a couple hours at the beach and then have the pool to come back to for more swimming in the afternoon or evening. The house was well-stocked with everything one could possibly need, such as cookware and utensils, beach and bath towels, pool toys and floats, beach toys, board games and puzzles, soap, cooler bags, etc. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. Would visit here again!

Fantastic Home

The home is as the other reviews stated in a quiet neighborhood with close access to both Venice and Sarasota and not a long drive to 75. The home is updated and the kitchen is well stocked. As others stated the lanai was our favorite area with an outdoor couch, dining table, ceiling fans and a fabulous heated pool that is big and deep enough to do laps. The owner is helpful when needed. We highly recommend this home for your holiday.
