Great stay!

We had a great time here. Communication was great, and the unit was clean. It was great to have a variety of coffee makers. It was also very handy to have the kayaks and the easy put-in. We brought our own bikes, but could have used the ones onsite. Will definitely look to book here again.

Comfortable home

This property was just as advertised. In a quiet neighborhood, peaceful views and great location to access all Nokomis/Venice have to offer. Appreciated the desk for working and the kayaks/bikes for recreation. And the screened patio was perfect anytime of the day. The host was responsive with any questions. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Paradise

Perfect paradise for snowbird to work & sneak out for long lunches on the water and bike trail. House was perfect with screened patio, office overlooking the water, lots of large spaces & storage, great cooking & eating accessories, quiet and wonderful views / breezes. Internet was sufficient for several laptops and phones. Never could have imagined a better kayak launch than down the driveway! Bike was good to ride out to Sarasota & back. Hosts were very pleasant, glad to have met them and have been blessed to stay there for sure!

Lots of amenities

We enjoyed our stay here very much. All the amenities and conveniences were very much appreciated. We used the bikes to visit town and the kayaks to go to the jetty and up the river to the Capri Isles. We even saw dolphins and alligators among multiple birds. However, we decided to go to Florida east for warmer temperature and ocean. Thanks for this quiet place, home away from home.

Nokomis Home

This was a perfect spot for my wife and I. Plenty of room to spread out. A great dining room for our evening dinners. A nice screened patio to sit and relax. Bikes and kayaks available to use were convenient for accessing the bike path and canal system. Our host was great at communicating with me and was such a nice guy. We will definitely return our next time to the Nokomis/ Venice area. 5 stars across the board! Thanks

Great stay

Check in was easy. Communication with the property owner was great. There were kayaks and sifters for shart tooth hunting. It was clean and truly like a home away from home. We enjoyed sitting at the doc as well. Over all we would definitely stay here again and encourage anyone else to stay as well. Made our family trip with our 3 kids nice and memorable.

Burrells from UK

Very nice property and well mai ntained. It suited us very well, it is both quiet and private if anything it was a little big for us , but it would not stop us going back. However, it didn't have an outside laundry drying area or one in the utility room but i believe this will be rectified by the owner. My husband had problems with the TV as he could not find a sports channel without having to pay for it which was not expected. We did not make use of Kayaks or bikes as we were off fishing every day. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Amazing, Clean, Everything you need, Wow!

This place has everything you need to have fun or hide from humanity. It's very clean, everything is well maintained. There is a dock in the back yard but we used the water access across the street to put in the supplied kayaks. If you want to go to the beach they have the chairs, umbrella, sand sifters, cooler, etc. If you want to go for a bike ride they have nice bikes of various sizes as well. We had the chance to meet the owners and they are awesome. I can't say enough good things about this place or our stay. we had a great time. Sooo much better than a hotel. This is the absolute best bang for your buck!

About the host

Hosted by K.C. McCay

We have lived in Nokomis for over 35 years and are STILL in love with the area. It isn't nearly as crazy as the traffic and congestion you find in Sarasota. But it's close enough if you want to go. Restaurants are close and there are SO many to choose from.

Why they chose this property

We originally bought this house to move in but decided it best to rent it and share the Florida waters with others. We love to kayak the backwaters of the canals and enjoy the peace and quiet. Always relaxing.

What makes this property unique

NO PRESSURE. Just relax and enjoy the area. If chosen, the kayaks are in the garage. Open the door and pull them across the front lawn to the slip on our front canal. Or take the bicycles on a ride for miles in the back trails that USED to be the Ringling Brothers Circus train tracks. Or just relax and sit on the dock at our backyard canal. Fish if you like!
