This quaint cottage home, which has been recently renovated, is the 
PERFECT place to relax and also enjoy the tropical landscaping while 
sitting on our private wood deck. It is located in a very QUIET and 
safe neighborhood on a lot with lots of flowering plants and palms. 
We are only a half mile from one of the most BEAUTIFUL beaches in 
the world - Nokomis beach and Casey Key. 

You could easily ride a bike or walk to the beach! The road leading 
to the beach was just repaved and now includes a bike path. On the 
way to the beach you could walk into Pelican Alley restaurant and 
have a bite to eat.....it's a great casual place right on the inter 
coastal waterway. There are also two other waterfront seafood 
restaurants, a general store, and water sports rentals all within 
walking distance to our home. 

Our home features a private screened in patio made of terracotta 
tile with a teak wooden table and chairs for outdoor dining. The 
screened patio area opens up to an open-air, private wooden deck 
which is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. This area is 
perfect for star watching at night, tanning in private, or for 
letting your children go outside to play in an enclosed and safe 
place! There's even a hammock for that favorite book (or maybe a 
nap?). It is a very spacious deck. It's the most amazing open-air, 
peaceful feeling...

The inside of the home is like new... freshly painted and newly 
decorated. There is a beautiful small dining room area with a hard 
wood floor... perfect for a nice dinner. There are many comfortable 
places to sit and relax throughout the home, which is very 
comfortable and cheery. We offer big closets in the bedrooms and 
dressers for all of your storage needs. Our favorite spot is sitting 
in the dining room and looking at the view out the sliding glass 
doors......you can actually see a glimpse of the intracoastal 
waterway (in between two million dollar homes) now that we re-
landscaped the backyard! An updated picture of THAT view will be 
here soon!

The other feature about this house that we must mention is that no 
matter which window or door you are looking out of, the view is 
gorgeous. Our lot is on a corner lot, so the views feel very open 
and the "tropical nature" around our home.  Here, you will find locals
walking, running, or biking in our pedestrian friendly 
neighborhood.

There are even 3 neighborhood parks - all within a few blocks of our
home. 2 are directly on the waters of Lyons Bay. THE CLOSEST BEING
ONLY STEPS FROM OUR FRONT DOOR! 

The historical downtown Venice is only two miles south and provides
quaint antique shops. Siesta Key and the Village is only 25 minutes
north, as is Sarasota's Main St. which features many restaurants and
shops. Visit St.Armands Circle 35 mins. north for more great shopping
and restaurants! Disney World and all other Orlando attractions are
just 2 hours away!

One more reason why you will want to come to Nokomis is that EVERY 
WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT on the beach is "drums by the sunset" 
which you have to experience in order to appreciate the beauty of 
it. Anyone who has a drum... any kind of drum... will bring it to 
the beach where a big group of local drummers drum their drums until 
the sun sets (starting an hour before sundown). 

There you will find locals and tourists alike dining in the sand, 
playing in the sand and dancing in the sand. I'll never forget the 
first time we witnessed it. We were mesmerized! There were families 
with blankets all over the beach, kids playing, honeymooners 
enjoying the romantic mood, people with lightweight plastic tables 
and chairs made up to look ELEGANT with beautiful tablecloths and 
linen napkins, etc, champagne on ice, wine, fruit and cheese 
platters, and anything else you could IMAGINE to bring in a picnic 
basket or cooler. 

All of that coupled with the great SUNSET and the beat of the drums 
is an amazing experience...

We look forward to serving you in any way we can and if you have ANY 
additional questions, just CALL Michelle or Steve right now!
