Located at 409 Shore Road, Nokomis, FL 34275, we have been proudly serving guests since 2003. Our guests return again and again to enjoy our clean, quiet, safe and comfortable accommodations in a great residential beach neighborhood. This charming villa is located in our Seahorse Shores duplex and is thoughtfully outfitted for your maximum vacation enjoyment. The unit is tastefully appointed, non-smoking, and has two bedrooms, one bath, living/dining area, kitchen and a spacious, sunny Florida room. Your villa is just a half mile walk by sidewalk from your front door to Nokomis Beach.

Enjoy one of the Best Beaches in Florida!: Nokomis Beach is thought by many to be the best beach in Florida. Nokomis Beach is located on the barrier island of Casey Key. Casey Key is 'old Florida' in all the best sense. There are no highrises or condos on Casey Key, and no large hotels. A few 1950's motels still remain on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico but the rest of Casey Key is home to beautiful beach front homes. The author Steven King has a home here. Casey Key has the highest concentration of nesting sea turtles anyplace on Gulf of Mexico in the U.S. From May to October the lights are kept from shining on the beach so the hatchlings can safely make their way to the water. The residents of Casey Key value their pristine paradise and it is only a 1/2 mile walk from your villa at Seahorse Shores. The local beaches thoughtfully provide outdoor showers to rinse the sand and salt off. For the more adventurous, Venice offers the best fossil shark tooth diving in the world. Some of our guests have become Scuba certified here.

Great things to do: Nokomis Beach is 1/2 mile away! We provide a great guest binder in the villa with information about these activities and others and with menus
from the great local restaurants. Unique and fun things to do in this tropical vacation paradise: Visit the world famous Venice Audubon Rookery where herons, egrets and other birds nest. 8 miles away, free. Peak Season is Winter/Spring. Scuba Dive off of Venice Beach for fossil sharks' teeth including huge Megalodon teeth and other fossils. You can go right in from the shore. 4 miles away. Or go out on a Florida West Scuba School charter boat that will put you right on the best spots. You can also get quickly certified and do your training dives right from the beach where the sharks' teeth are. Visibility is best in April, May & June but divers go year round. Great Fishing and Golfing is plentiful and well known to those who enjoy those sports. The Venice Jetty Fish Camp (1.5 miles away) sells live bait shrimp before dawn.

More Great things to do!: Enjoy the drum circles at Nokomis Beach every Wednesday and Saturday 1 hour before Sunset. Go Kayaking with any of several local outfitters. Take a tour, a class, rent a kayak or go to a free kayak demo to try paddling many models for free. You can also rent kayaks and canoes at Myakka River State Park and canoes at Oscar Scherer State Park. Visit Myakka River State Park and walk thru the tree tops on one of the world's few canopy walks. They also have tours on the world's largest airboat for up close views of alligators and other wildlife (airboat tour is $10) 20 miles away. Admission to the State Park is $5 per carload. Ride a bicycle or walk along our newly completed trails: the Venetian Waterway Park in Venice (10 miles of paved trail along both sides of the intercoastal waterway) and the 12 Mile Legacy Trail from Venice to Sarasota. A trailhead is less than 2 miles away.

The location was perfect! Everything is nearby, groceries, restaurants, beach, quaint shopping. The villa is a nice size, we really had room to spread out, a nice overall set up. We love the Nokomis/Venice/Sarasota area and will definitely be back for a visit! Thank you for sharing your vacation rental with us!

Great location. Host answered question in timely manner. Comfortable mattress. TV/streaming easy to access. Pots/pans could use an upgrade As well as beach chairs, cooler, and an umbrella as most come to sunny Florida via a plane ride and want to do beach time. We would return again.

Cute place, nice easy walk to the beach!

Having one bathroom was a little hard on the family but I loved the cozy layout and cute decor, and being so close to a grocery store and a nice beach in Nokomis was an overall great stay. My two girls and wife didn't want to leave! Queen bed was a little creaky and bathroom could use a little freshening up but nothing that stopped us from enjoying ourselves. Having a washer and dryer right there was a great feature, worked great.

Nice beech nearby!

This is a typical old Florida home in an old Florida neighborhood. Nothing fancy but has all you need. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting at the table and chairs in the back yard to visit and eat meals. We also liked sitting in the little outdoor covered patio at the front entrance. The beech can be walked to in about 15 minutes and it’s beautiful. No high rises in sight!

Seahorse Shores

My husband, our 2 Chocolate Labradors and myself have very much enjoyed our 3 stays at Seahorse Shores. The unit is very comfortable and very convenient to so many things. We can walk to the beach, walk to two very nice waterfront restaurants, or just take a walk. The yard is great for our dogs. The owners are very friendly, the unit is very clean and we have had no problems with our stays. We are planning on returning for the 4th time next year.

It is what it is...

The good: allowed to check in a half hour early, location is close to the beach, close to 2 nice restaurants, easy check in check out, good water pressure!, Kitchen appliances and utensils well stocked, lots of towels, washer and dryer worked well, nice grill in the backyard, access to beach chairs and an umbrella, hose near the front door was a nice touch.. 2bucket chairs in long room were very nice a d we liked the artwork and theme. The bad: Needs updated, we did not sit on the couch, the king bed mattress very hard (wife almost went to the car to sleep) and the pillows need thrown away (bring pillows), the second bed (full?) Was un-useable (extremely hard)& Found animal hair on this bedding (no pets policy??), TV in master bedroom remote would not change the channel, bathroom is in need of an update, tub is rusty, and does not drain well, we only found one cockroach. Owner did thank us for letting him know about it.

Location is a plus (but the only one)

This property is a great location-close to the beach, grocery stores, restaurants. Unfortunately, we found it to be the worst VRBO we've stayed in. It was not at all welcoming and did not feel clean. When we first arrived there was such a sickening odor, that we wanted to leave immediately, but tried to freshen it up with some diffusers. After 2 days and 3 diffusers it was still bad, so we wanted to leave and get a refund but the owner said no, open the windows. It took brute strength to open the windows (and the window sills were disgustingly filthy). After a week and a half (with windows open, diffusers and a couple of candles) the odor was gone. The owner was very responsive when I asked for toilet paper (there was only 1/4 of a roll when we arrived), tissues and some basic kitchen supplies, but the kitchen was still lacking some essentials (like a pot holder!). We were very glad the we had beautiful weather and the beach for relaxation, because we definitely could not relax here.
