Lakefront home feels like a remote cottage but is actually located in a beautifully landscaped, secure, family-friendly, gated community within easy walk to the Gulf of Mexico adjoining Casey Key in Sarasota County. Our lake behind the house has great fishing for kids of all ages. There are 3 rods and reels in the garage so try your luck. The snook in the lake are suckers for lures, but the tilapia like dough balls (try a little peanut butter on them). The tilapia are like me...we like peanutbutter on everything.

Walk, kayak, bicycle or standup paddleboard 1 mile from our neighborhood to Nokomis Beach on Casey Key. Enjoy the surf, sunsets, and moonrise or catch some sun and read a good book.

Bicycle the Legacy Trail, 1 mile away. It wanders for 24 miles along scenic routes and waterways; and best of all, no cars.

Use our clubhouse...perhaps a swim in the heated, saltwater pool with outdoor heated shower; enjoy the relaxing hot-tub; play a round of tennis; work-up a sweat in the exercise room; horseshoes; shuffleboard. Pickleball anyone

    Enjoyed every minute of our Florida vacation. The house was perfect, clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you would need and a beautiful location! Randall was always available to answer any questions. Looking forward to another visit!

    We enjoyed many things about our stay in this home, but one of our favorites was the never ending show of beautiful birds on the small lake on the back of the property, in the surrounding trees, and even coming within a few feet of the patio. The home is just a short distance from the community center where we used the pool and hot tub, borrowed books from the library, and joined a poker group. Renters in the community are welcome to participate in the many activities offered. We are already planning to return next year.

    Upon arrival very welcoming and great neighborhood. Gated community and very safe and well kept! Great pool and we loved our stay! Great space, lots to do and the view really is nice. House is very well stocked and the hosts are very nice and thought of everything! I love soft beds so the beds could have been softer or could use some sort of topper for the mattresses! Would definitely stay again. I would live in the Inlets if I could! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Harkness for the great accomodations that enabled us to have an unforgettable experience!

    We had a great time at Randy and Bev’s gorgeous house. Everything was top shelf - furnishings, appliances, electronics, housewares, sporting equipment etc. We had friends over one afternoon and they also loved it. So glad we got to enjoy the location, the home and neighborhood and weather. Thanks so much. We loved it. ❤️

    This was our second time staying at this property! It is a nice house with a lake out back. It is close to the beach and downtown Venice. It is a great place to stay!

    Loved the house and location. Enjoyed the books and we left an addition to the Bill O’Reilly Killing series. Had a gater swim by on one occasion! A garage door remote would be helpful. We felt like we were leaving home by the end of our stay.
