Nokomis is surrounded by water, specifically by Roberts Bay and Dona Bay. These two water inlets connect Nokomis to Casey Key and the Gulf of Mexico as well as the Myakka River and the Intracoastal Waterway. This geographical aspect of Nokomis presents house hunters with various opportunities for waterfront properties, which are currently in short supply elsewhere in the Southwest Florida housing market.

Shakett Creek Pointe is located in a peninsula inland from Dona Bay. It is a gated neighborhood of 26 homes that is somewhat secluded by lush landscaping and Florida vegetation. This is a relatively new community; it was not completed until 2007, and it was thoughtfully developed for home shoppers seeking waterfront views and spacious floor plans.

Most homes at Shakett Creek Pointe are built in the Key West style; they are two and three stories tall. The smaller single-family residences are larger than 3,000 square feet. Each home has its own private dock, and most homes have luxury details such as elevators and spacious verandas. Most floor plans have four bedrooms and the prices range between $689,000 to $999,000 for a 3,723 square feet home built on a lot measuring a total 8,089 square feet.

The southern end of the neighborhood is a mangrove preserve. Right outside of the neighborhood’s gates is North Venice, where residents can find all the comforts of suburban life such as grocery stores, restaurants, coffeehouses, banks and more. The closest Gulf beaches are in Casey Key, which is about 20 minutes away by car. Golf enthusiasts are just 15 minutes away from the Mission Valley Country Club and nature lovers are very close to the pristine Oscar Scherer State Park.

Parents can enroll their children at Venice Elementary, Laurel Nokomis and Venice High Schools.
