We had a fantastic stay! The pool was perfect, and the dock out back was a huge hit! My son caught tons of fish. The location was super convenient to beaches and stores, and the host was friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Colonia Bay Cottage

We had a great time in Nokomis at the Colonia Bay Cottage. The house was as described..the perfect get away retreat. Home was very clean with all the needed amenities . The view of the lagoon while sitting by the pool was perfect and only a short drive to the beaches!

Wonderful visit!!!

House is very clean, with all the amenities needed. Very close to the beaches, but far enough away to not have beach traffic as an issue. The pool was refreshing, and the dock in the back peaceful to observe all the fish! This is a great choice!of a place to stay in Nokomis!

Overall it was awesome! Pool was smaller than what we wanted when looking around, the picture of the living room needs updated as we were expecting huge sectional couch to fit all of us but it was a normal couch that fits 3 to 4 people. That’s my only less negative thing to say. It was a great home, awesome location, all the fun stuff that the host provided for usage, such as pool accessories, bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, etc. it was a nice touch and used. Our family enjoyed it. We are already talking about coming back to the area possibly spring break.

Family fun

The home was wonderful, had everything we needed. Loved the pool, it was so easy to use it. Home was well stocked, had beach towels, beach chairs/umbrella, kayaks, multiple bikes, even toys for the pool. Location is near multiple beaches, biking trails and many restaurants. We greatly enjoyed our vacation.

Lovely home

We stayed at Nokomis with our family of 5 and really enjoyed our time there. The house was clean, uncluttered, and well equipped. We loved having access to the canal for fishing, the kayaks to explore on, and the pool to cool off in. The home has quick and easy access to many nearby beaches, a grocery store near by, and a selection of restaurants to pick from.

We stayed here last week as my daughter was competing at FoxLea. Clayton was phenomenal with communication. The home was not only convenient to show grounds but it was extremely clean and cozy. Thank you again.

Wonderful property!

This adorable property exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, the house feels spacious, updated, and clean, and the dock was just what we needed- relaxing, comfortable, and perfect evening entertainment (the fish light is amazing)! The host provided great communication and set us up for a wonderful vacation. I hope it works out for us to come back again!

The pool and the boat dock were fantastic. The location was 5 minutes from Nokomis beach and Venice beach and Publix. It was a great location. The house was nice and quiet and comfortable. The communication was great, the kayaks were fun, the fish light off of the boat dock was relaxing. We really had a wonderful stay there and would love to come back next year! We never had a chance to take the bikes out, but the beach chairs and floaties were an excellent necessity. The check-in/out instructions were simple. 10/10 recommend!
