Dawn was absolutely terrific! The coffee pot wanted to act up so she ordered another and it was delivered that afternoon! WOW! You can’t get better than that! We especially enjoyed having our boat there. We didn’t hangout at the house much but it was roomy and had more than everything you need. The football game was fun and brought back some memories from a the past.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and offered plenty of space to relax and spread out for our family of four. The neighborhood was quiet and safe with Publix really close. The location is ideal for day trips, with many attractions within easy reach. Nokomis Beach was a short drive away and pleasantly uncrowded during the first week of July—less busy than neighboring beaches and good for shelling. While walking to the beach was a bit far for us with kids and gear, the drive was quick and easy.We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Our family stayed at the Channel Cat while our home was being remodeled. It was the most perfect place for our little family. We extended our stay several times as our home was delayed with projects, and Dawn was delighted to have us continue to stay. We treated it like our own home, taking out the trash, mopping, vacuuming, and of course, going to the beach! Our son also started school this year while we were at the "Cat". We will always think of this home as our second home in Nokomis and will always recommend it to family and friends who come to visit. Thanks again Dawn!!

Labor Day Family Weekend from Orlando

What a fabulous property. The pictures on the VRBO did not really reflect how great this property was. We have rented 20+ times from VRBO/HA and this was one of our favorites! We have paid 3-4 times this price and not appreciated and liked this one as much as we did this one. Even my husband who rarely says anything, has mentioned multiple times how great this house was. There were 5 of us - all adults. The house has 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. I thought that we would be short one bathroom, but because of the location of the one bath to two of the bedrooms there was no problem. All 3 bedrooms had TV’s which was a necessity as well as a huge family room TV. The entire home was perfectly decorated and very tasteful. Location was very convenient to Nokomis and Venice with Nokomis Beach less than one mile away. We also rented a 6-passenger golf cart which was wonderful because it was street legal. We went to the beach and restaurants in it and was great family fun. The house location was on a very quiet dead end with a canal behind the house. We very much enjoyed the programmable multi-functioning patio lights and I am ordered 2 sets for our own home. Dawn the owner responded promptly with any questions. We definitely will rent this house again if in the area, Thank you Dawn for sharing your beautiful house!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

The house and location was amazing. 2 minutes to Nokomis beach, marinas, ice cream, etc. Venice and all its 3 beaches a quick and easy 5-10 minute drive. My wife, myself and our 19,16,10 and 8 kids all stayed here more than comfortably. The foosball table got used often every day and was a great afternoon activity away from the heat. Only thing to mention, and it is posted in the bathrooms, is the sensitive septic (slow to drain/flush). We worked around it and staggered our showers . It did not affect us negatively at all. If you are an understanding person it is fine, if you are a "Karen" then now you know. We would 100% stay here again and the kids asked if we could move the house back with us to Ohio.
