We love it here

This place is absolutely wonderful, and Schane and Christine rock. They went above and beyond with a special request we had and also with a super-speedy washing machine replacement. We've come 4 years in a row and will keep coming as long as they'll have us.

Serene

This house is perfectly located for couples or small families visiting the greater Venice area. The backyard is calming with a canal out back perfect for enjoying early morning coffee and evening glass of wine. The hosts are terrific, live nearby, and know the area well if you need help navigating it. A big thumbs up!

Fabulous

What can I say that hasn't already been said before in all of the other reviews? The house is immaculate and very nicely decorated! The view is fabulous! The beds are very comfortable! The location is wonderful with easy/quick access to downtown Venice, Venice Beach and Nokomis Beach by car or bike. A big plus for me was the proximity to the Legacy Trail which I biked often going both north (to hike in Oscar Scherer State Park) and south to both Shamrock Park and to Caspersen Park. Lastly, the owners and their two sons were all incredibly nice and very helpful. I highly recommend staying here! Thanks Schane and Christine!

A Nokomis Treasure!

What a wonderful place! Everything in the house felt so clean that it felt totally brand new. The house had absolutely everything that we needed to enjoy our week long stay. Our favorite thing about the house is the view of the water from the main living area and every window in both bedrooms. The covered back screened in patio was a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee or a meal while watching the wildlife over the water. We took advantage of the kayaks and the fishing poles that Shane had set up and waiting for us to use. He even came over to help get us started fishing! When booking this trip, I debated whether to stay a block from the beach or to stay here and I have absolutely no regrets about choosing this house. It is truly a gem, and I hope to stay here again next time we visit the area!

Lovely, peaceful vacation

The home is conveniently located just a short drive from restaurants and groceries. We arrived to a spotless home outfitted with absolutely everything we needed for our 10-day stay. We spent much of our time relaxing in the lanai and sunning in the patio watching the various waterfowl. Kayaks were available though we didn’t take advantage of them on this trip. We visited some favorite restaurants and found some new ones. Also did some cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen. Plenty of dishware was on hand. appliances looked very new and worked well. And the view overlooking Curry Creek was much appreciated. We encountered no issues during our stay but were easily & quickly able to reach Schane & Christine (who live right next door) when we had a question.

Tranquil paradise with spectacular water views from every room

This home is a slice of heaven on earth! The open layout enhances the breathtaking views of Curry Creek. The home is immaculate, beautifully appointed, perfect for families or friends. The homeowners are always helpful and responsive. You can kayak, fish, or relax on the patio or screened porch and enjoy nature in a peaceful setting.

Lovely and spacious spot with plenty to do!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days while visiting family nearby. The home is stunning - very clean, modern and spacious. We especially enjoyed the fishing and kayaks - what a fun way to pass the time! Our hosts were also lovely - friendly, easy to contact if needed and knowledgeable about fishing (which my boyfriend was grateful for LOL). We had a fantastic stay, hope to be back and would highly recommend!!! Thank you Schane and Christine for having us.

About the host

Hosted by Schane Johns

Host profile image
We are boaters. We live in this area because we love that we can get to the gulf from our home but are still nestled away from all the hustle bustle.

Why they chose this property

Nokomis is a boating community. The neighborhood is quiet. It has many canals and is enclosed by 2 creeks - Shakett and Curry. It is near several beaches, close to grocery stores and retail stores and near downtown Venice for shopping!

What makes this property unique

The view at this property is amazing from dawn til dusk. There is a bird sanctuary behind the house on the other side of the creek. You can see all sorts of wildlife from birds, to gators, to manatee and all sorts of fish species. It’s in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by water yet close to everything.
