Casa Nokomis

06/20/2026

My dear friends and former guests, I have decided to shutter Casa Nokomis a little sooner than our sale closing date in late August, to do some maintenance work on the main house. As of today, our Airbnb listing is disabled. I would like to thank everyone here for their patronage and interest, all the wonderful reviews you've left, all the great feedback and smiles over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting for all of 28 years, and I will definitely miss helping some of the nicest people I've ever met have the restful vacation they wanted and needed. I will not say goodbye, but in the Floridaloha tradition, I will just say Aloha. Until we meet again.

Our latest 5 star review is in. We aim to please and it's so great to see how much our guests enjoy Casa Nokomis and the area. There can be a lot of unexpected factors when choosing a place to stay on vacation. Our 100% record of 5 star reviews shows that we deliver what we promise. We have availability starting April 9 at shoulder season rates, and monthly and longer term rentals available at deep discount starting May 1. News about that very soon.

"We had a lovely time. The place was amazingly decorated and absolutely perfect for our needs-every time we turned, there was something new and beautiful to notice! Nancy was an exceptional host and made the whole experience even better!"

In addition to the other great restaurants within walking distance of Casa Nokomis, we now have a couple of terrific food trucks nearby, and you don't even have to cross US41 to get there! Yo Daddio BBQ and Groovin' Grouper are both at the corner of US 41 and Nippino Trail, just a couple of short blocks from us, not far from the Nokomis Center Park. Trucks are normally there from Tuesday through Saturday nights, though they might be away on Friday or Saturday nights if there are festival events nearby. Groovin' Grouper is the latest addition, and a very welcome one, run by the former owner of the popular Left Coast Seafood, which was destroyed in one of our hurricanes. This weekend they will both be at the Venice Blues and Reggae Festival at Venice Airport, but will be back on the Nokomis corner this Tuesday. The friendly owners of Yo Daddio is celebrating the addition, saying, "Nokomis now has Surf and Turf!" Here's Groovin' Grouper, doing a bit of sweet festival groovin'.

Our latest review just came in! We still have a week available March 21-30, 2026, so give us a shout on Airbnb if you are interested. We would even give you a bonus discount! Come enjoy what our last 76 guests have rated 5 stars across the board, and a Guest Favorite. Not to mention, our plumerias will soon be in bloom, and you wouldn't want to miss that.
"The cottage is incredibly charming and in a wonderful location. The host has gone above and beyond in furnishing and stocking the home with everything a visitor might need. We had excellent communication and she provides a wealth of information on things to do and see, restaurants, etc. We especially loved the proximity to the Legacy Trail for cycling."

Happy Happy Merry Merry! No snow and 80 degrees, but a little winter coolness nonetheless!
