Family beach home! Fully renovated on water w/pool, boat dock & nearby beach

A discount is applied to reservations that are 30 days or more.

Enjoy easy Florida living in this practically new 3 bedroom/2 bath private home that includes an additional separate studio apartment with full bath. This home is perfect for extended families to all stay together on one property with separate living spaces. It also has a solar heated pool and boat dock on Dona Bay in Nokomis, FL. This home is on a quiet cul de sac on a large private lot, approximately 1 mile to Nokomis Beach / Casey Key, and close to Sarasota beaches, numerous golf courses, water sports, and attractions. Bring your boat, or use our kayaks to enjoy this beautiful scenic area by the Gulf of Mexico.

This is the perfect rental for extended families to get together. We have families come from all over the globe to enjoy the home with beautiful sunset views, the weather, the beach, and many activities available in the area.

The home sleeps 6 in the main house plus 5 in the apartment and is all on one floor (no stairs). The location is ideal - away from the traffic congestion of Sarasota, with easy access to I-75 via the Route 681 spur. It is an easy, short drive to downtown Sarasota and very close to quaint, downtown Venice, which was recently listed as one of the best seaside towns in the U.S. by Coastal Magazine. Siesta Key beach, which has been consistently rated as one of the top beaches in the world, is a 20 minute drive.

Guests can boat, kayak, paddleboard, or fish from the private boat dock. Kayaks and a paddle board are available for guest use with a signed liability waiver, which is part of the rental agreement. The Gulf of Mexico and Intracoastal waterway are both readily accessible by water with no bridges. Nearby golf courses include Calusa Lakes, Jacaranda West, Bobby Jones, Boca Royale, Capri Isles, Sarasota National, Heron Creek, Lakewood National, Village Green, and many others. The area has many nice biking routes and the nearby Legacy Trail is recommended for biking, roller blading, running, and walking. There are also equestrian facilities nearby and Benderson Park, the world class rowing facility, is an easy 20-30 min. drive.

This home has been totally redesigned and renovated by an internationally recognized architect. It features a large open space kitchen/family room with granite countertops, updated appliances, including a free-standing ice-maker, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The floors are polished terrazzo marble throughout and there are options for both inside and outside dining. The home is well insulated and has nice views of Dona Bay. All finishes are high quality and the home is well equipped and very clean.

The spacious bedrooms include a bedroom with queen bed, en-suite bath with both shower and tub, and sliding glass doors to the lanai and water views. The second bedroom has a queen bed and sliding glass doors to the lanai with water views. The third bedroom has a king bed. The studio apartment has a separate entrance and private screened lanai with water views, a queen bed, bunk beds with a trundle bed, en-suite bath, and kitchenette, and is ideal for large families and guests. A baby crib and pack 'n play are also available.

A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located in the attached 2-car garage and available to both the house and apartment. There is plenty of parking space in the garage and driveway.

The home is completely furnished with comfortable furniture, 60" high-definition smart TV, and many amenities, including WiFi. Guests can enjoy the solar-heated pool and dine on the screened lanai while watching the beautiful sunsets over the bay. A gas grill is also available. This home is well stocked and very comfortable for families, multi-families or as a corporate rental.

This location is easily accessible to Sarasota airport (35 min drive), Tampa (1 hr. 15 min), or Ft. Myers/Southwest Regional (1 hr. 15 min) airports. Orlando attractions are an easy 2 hour drive away.

Come enjoy this beautiful home for your next Florida experience.

We were very happy with renting this home for one week. It was in a quiet location with a beautiful view of the bay. The home worked very well for our group of seven, and conveniently located for shopping and days at the beach. We would rent from Lisa again.

Great waterside house with dock
Fun, clean, and open beach house that is perfect for large family gatherings and located right on Lyon’s Bay. The kitchen was fully equipped and great for barbecuing and the garage was full of pool toys and fishing equipment. Loved using the kayaks and the private dock. The owners are very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely waterfront location
Well appointed, updated 3-bedroom house and a separate 1 bedroom suite. Everything you need is there. Good selection of kayaks and interesting places to explore. Lovely sunset views. Small solar hearted pool overlooking the bay. Lisa and Jeff are lovely hosts and nearby if you need them. Bikes could be better - we used our own. Perfect space for families.

Overall good stay
Overall a very nice stay. Very quiet and relaxing. The house is spacious with an detached apartment. Issues: Note on thermostat not to turn below 76° due to some kind of issue (not a new note). This can be a problem in Florida considering it’s very hot. There was used soap left in the showers. AC for detached apartment had clogged filter and AC did not work until we cleaned the filter

Beautiful home on the water with a dock for the boat! Excellent fishing getaway!!
Had a great time the house had all the amenities we wanted and more! Lisa was very accommodating and very friendly! Would 100% rent again. Took the boat down and we were able to dock up right in the back yard we fished day and night and had a blast with the Snook, Mangroves, redfish and sea trout. Can't wait to do it again!!

BEWARE ! PROPERTY NOT AS DESCRIBED GET A HOTEL
First of all, when we drove up we didn’t know if we were at the right property bc the garage door was up and there was so much junk all over that we thought someone lived there! They charge A lot of money for it to look like that when you drive up! Once we got inside it was boiling hot, 3pm and it was 78 degrees in the house. So the house could cool down, we all decided to swim, we went out to the pool area to the smallest pool In Florida! Came in from swimming the temp had gone up to 79. The pictures are very deceiving of pool !The house was advertised as renovated ,well…not the A/C because we were told keep the setting at 72 degrees sign, don’t go out the doors but after we complained, the sign mysteriously got change, while we were at the beach to 76 ????? It never reached 72 it was 79-80 the two days we stayed in that missable humid ,hot house. I messaged the owner on vrbo very nicely...the air may need to be looked at bc this was day two of the heat index at 104 and we were all hot, A few minutes later Lisa (owner) sent her husband over unannounced (they live next door) he pounded on the door like the police…as to our surprise, he was standing there barefoot and sweaty and asked if we were having a problem with the air. I replied “can you send someone like an a/c professional to service the system. He then said “ let me look at it “ he barged past me at the door before I could decide if I wanted him to come in or not! He goes over and stood at the thermostat (giving lessons on how the Florida heat is outside). I have lived in Florida and I am aware of extreme heat. I also requested he and Lisa call before coming over so, we know who to expect.The husband then left very angry and slammed the door so hard that it rattled the windows as my famiIy and I are all in the living room to witness his behavior. Earlier that morning 9:30 am the husband was on the garage unannounced getting landscaping materials working off the garage with a wagon, it scared us bc we didn’t know who he was. He was wondering around while we were eating breakfast. Absolutely Unexceptable ! We left that afternoon and contacted VRBO immediately after the” slamming door incident”the inferno house and the privacy issues. The owner was also sending long text about her husbands actions of which she was not there! She was very unreasonable with refunding $$ ,we left due to the conditions of the property and rented a hotel that nite. I did not go far enough back on the reviews !

Family Time
What a lovely place to stay. Right on the water. We texted our arrival time and the garage door and home was open and ready for us to enjoy. Husband and I stayed in the side house, while each of our sons/spouses had their own lovely bedroom (one with it's own bathroom) and the 3 grandchildren had a room to themselves. The cabinets have more than enough cooking gear, the refrigerator had some condiments which was really nice, the cabinets had plenty of spices, and the grill was clean and ready to go. Lovely pool and plenty of pool toys. Assorted Jenga and other games for the kids. We were even able to take some of their beach chairs and sand toys down to the nearby Nokomis beach for some waves and relaxation. A note in their guestbook said they'd stayed there for 3 months and now we understand why. We' absolutely stay there again. Thank you Lisa.

Terrible unacceptable issues
We checked in on Feb 1 for 28 days. Owner said there was a power surge on 12/25, that “fried” the washer and dryer. We had MANY electrical issues (“fried” instant hot water heaters for 2 of the 3 baths, barely cooling refrigerator- repairman said motor “fried”, solar pump controller for pool “fried”- owner showed us burnt black controller box). Since owner stated that an issue occurred in Dec, we would have liked the electrical issues to have been reviewed prior to our stay. We only had one shower that had hot water for the first 17 days of our stay. There were 6 of us staying in a home with 3 full baths. The fridge was not cold. Owner said we didn’t have settings correct. It was still warm. After a week, a repairman said it needed a new motor. We did not have a cold fridge till day 10. Coming from up north, we really wanted a heated pool, but because of the electrical issue, and the owner not resetting the timer correctly, we only had 1 day of use in the pool. Cleanliness- DISCUSSTING. Baseboards, kitchen door curtain, grill, toaster oven, couch (really gross amount of filth between cushions). Bikes- in disrepair. Chains rusty, handle grips cracked and chunks missing, brakes barely held, deflated tires). Heat in adjacent apartment was out for 2 nights that were in the mid-forties. Location was great, problems unacceptable. We did get a refund for 1 of the 4 weeks we stayed. Not sure if this made up for cold showers and warm fridge. BEWARE of this property.

Great Florida Getaway with Helpful Neighbors
We chose this home for our Christmas vacation because of the location. Right on the water, pull your boat up to the private dock. Perfect weather. The owners live next door, and are available to help with any issues. Even though there was a huge electrical issue on Christmas day, owners were able to respond and provide timely help. The electrical issue killed the dryer, microwave, and TV, but they provided some laundry service, had the power fixed that day, and had the TV up and running the next. Glad they were on site and willing to assist. Canoes, fishing gear, water toys, etc. all provided. If you want fun in the sun, consider this Lyons Bay home.

We had an excellent experience at this location and would highly recommend. We came to gather for a family funeral and the owners were so incredibly kind and accommodating. They have obviously begun updating the home and the updated kitchen and master bathroom were really nice! There are some other areas that could use some updating but overall the place is very well kept and was really clean. Our adult children totally enjoyed kayaking, fishing from the dock and riding bikes. We also visited POP'S Tiki Bar several times. It's an easy mile walk from the location. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful home, great location
We very much enjoyed our stay in Nokomis! The house was very comfortable and well designed with separate areas for each of our families. The pool/patio area was definitely our favorite spot to congregate - loved the outdoor ceiling fans and comfortable chairs. We used the kayaks and SUP to explore the bay and fished from the dock. The location was great with a small park nearby, which our dog enjoyed every morning. We cooked quite a few meals in the well equipped kitchen. There were also lots of restaurants close by (Pop’s and Captain Eddy’s were favorites). We drove into nearby Venice and Sarasota to shop and visit the botanical gardens. The beaches were all beautiful -Caspersen was my favorite. The owners were next door and were very helpful and responsive. Overall this was a great home base for our family vacation!

Summer Vacation 2021
Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous! This place has something for everyone. It was a nice get away with our adult children ages 19 and 24 and our 2 year old yellow lab. We went kayaking and paddle boarding everyday! We saw a variety of birds, plant life, rainbows, turtles, and dolphins. My husband was even lucky enough to see a manatee surface for a breath of air! If you love the outdoors and love being on the water I highly recommend staying at this house. Location! Location! Location! Could not have asked for a better location. Loved being close to the action but enjoyed the quiet neighborhood vibes! We went into Tampa (Bush Gardens) and St. Petersburg to see the Orioles play the Rays. We also hung out at the Dog Beach and shopped in downtown Venice. (Loved eating at Sharkys! Beautiful water view and great food. Very family friendly!) We also spent time at Siesta Key! The owners are the best! Very nice! House was clean when we arrived! Hot towels right out the dryer was the best! Every time we saw The Matthews they were always asking if we needed anything or had any questions. The House is amazing! Very well stocked and lots of room. We hope to return soon!
