Rendezvous House - Old Homosassa Deep Water Canal - Perfect Get Away!
Our Rendezvous House is located on a deep-water canal in a quiet residential neighborhood on the South side of the Homosassa River. We are just around the corner from marker 76, west of the boat ramp at MacRaes and right at the end of “idol speed” - Perfect location to head out for a day of fishing, scalloping, or just cruising along the river.
Just a few minutes by golf cart (Golf cart not included but you are welcome to bring yours) to The Freezer, MacRaes (The Shed), Shelly’s Seafood Market, Wild Sassa Restaurant, Riverside Resort (home of Monkey Island) and the Old Mill Tavern.
Our fully furnished 1 Bedroom/1 Bath bungalow sleeps 4 adults comfortably with your choice of a King bed OR two twin beds in the bedroom and a Queen Murphy bed in the spacious living area. Fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar overlooks the dining and living area. Bathroom has a shower, double sink vanity and laundry center.
Huge upper deck around 3 sides of the house is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Our 65' Boat dock has plenty of room for your boat (additional charge for more than 2 watercraft) and the lower deck and open-air covered area is perfect for entertaining. Grill, picnic table, fish cleaning table, fire pit and plenty of room for parking make this the perfect place to "rendezvous" with old and new friends

My husband and I along with another couple truly enjoyed our weekend getaway - although it would certainly work as a family setting as well. The hosts are extra friendly and super helpful - easy to find if you need anything as they live next door! The property is adorable and functional and the dock space was great for our boat! Highly recommended and we will be back!
Very comfortable vacation home on a canal that is conveniently located. Tammy was a wonderful host that very helpful and quick to reply to any questions
We spent 4 days at this house on the river, and it was perfect! The property was easily accessible by both road and boat. We had plenty of room to park 2 vehicles and 2 trailers. The house had everything we needed and was cozy. We would absolutely stay here again!
There is no way to really summarize. This small home was the perfect setting for relaxing, hanging out with friends, and having a good time. The host, Tammy is phenomenal. We will definitely be staying again in the future..
This is our second stay here. So convenient to all Homosassa river restaurants and a nice ride out to the scalloping grounds. Love river life. Thanks Tammy!
This is a great little place to stay in Homosassa for a small family or friends. Would definitely rent again. We have began renting in this part of town over the spring area where we have in the past. Very convenient to avoid the idle zone in town. Still easy to get to the spring or straight back to the house in case of weather.
We had a great time and this house was a perfect location. It was so close to the main water area to go out to go fishing or scalloping and close and convenient to the area restaurants. It was so nice and easy to be able to park our boat there for the week at the dock and have it ready to go each day. We met Tammy, she was super nice and went over and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The outdoor space under the house with the grill and picnic table was perfect for grilling and having dinner outside, which is where we spent most of our time (fishing also). It is definitely a perfect location and we will definitely be going again.
From the moment we turned in to this neighborhood, the homes are beautiful. Continue on almost to end of the street & the beauty abounds as you pull under your home away from home; the Owners did not miss a detail here!! From cleanliness & essentials, to comfortable furniture, stunning interior details & true Southern hospitality, this rental is an absolute gem!! The massive upper deck, impeccable dock & wide canal (with quick Gulf access) all unveil Florida at her finest. I highly recommend this rental & it's location on the waterways! We will be back ASAP!!
If you are going to the river this is the best place to stay. The dock is brand new and the water is deep even at low tide for 30 foot center console. Power on the dock and water. Only 10 minutes from Mcraes and 20 minutes to the springs. Right at the end of the no wake zone to head straight to the gulf. Be careful in the river and stay in the channel at all times. Look up hellsgate on yutube to watch boats going thru the tightest spot in the river. Very good air conditioning and nice decor. You can also rent a golf cart locally from the monkey bar and hit all the bars and restaurants. We will be back!
Lovely house on the water for a few days of fun on the boat. Tammy was an excellent communicator and host as we reserved and ultimately visited the property.
Wonderful location right on the canal. Great dock for our boats in a safe neighborhood. We had fun and will book again next time. Good size home for a family vacation.
We had a great time as we always do. I’m glad we ventured out out of the hotels and looked for house rentals . Hence We found this gem. The owners were awesome too.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Homosassa. The house is just as described, very clean and all the amenities you need for a great week. Location is excellent, especially for boating- quick in and out to the no wake zone and channel to gulf, with a nice protected dock. Hosts were super responsive and accommodating.

Great location, lovely view, very clean house
This little house was perfect for our needs. It has lots of windows to enjoy views in all directions. We loved sitting out on the wrap around deck and enjoying the day. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, towels plentiful, and we had everything we needed for our stay. Tammy was very attentive and even helped us locate a store with allergy-friendly foods for our daughter. We hope to come back again next year and get another little break from the winter!
