Family Fishing Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at your home. The location couldn't have been better. Such a quiet and serene cove and close to the river. We enjoyed dinner every night on the porch as we watched manatee and fish action. It was perfect for our family of 4!

Great Home

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful home on the river. Great location- easy to get around town and out to the river. Home was clean and very well maintained. Dock was brand new and easy to dock your boat. I do recommend being sure to bring your own bath soap/shampoo as there was not any available. The yard is big and gorgeous- bring out door games if you have them!

Great Location

We go every year scalloping and to the springs. This property is on the way to both sorta in between. Nice deep water canal, no bridges, got in and out at low tide and we pull about 2' of draft. House was well stocked had a couple isssues owners were very responsive.Lots of stairs didn't bother the young ones. LOL

Perfect location

Very nice house. Great screened in porch overlooking water with a nice breeze. Bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable. Kitchen well appointed. Could use a nice coffee table in front of couch in living room. Good location in Homosassa. Nice dock and large front yard making it very private. There are stairs to get up to main floor and again up to bedrooms in the event there is someone with a problem climbing. Would definitely stay there again.

Upscale and Serene

We absolutely loved everything on our stay! Everything in the house is top of the line, extremely clean it feels like you just moved to a brand new home. With the attention to detail in everything from decor, to toiletries the owners Amanda and Jimmy went above and beyond to provide only the best. A drawer in the kitchen keeps all the little items that one may need and forgot to bring. This is just a small detail but it shows how thoughtful they are. The property itself is right on the river and there are plenty of chairs on a spacious dock for you to sit and enjoy a quiet morning cup of coffee or tea. There is also plenty to do in the area, and Amanda was so gracious to send us all the info before our trip. I highly recommended this property

Very nice house in quiet part of Florida

We enjoyed the property very much. It is a new house right on the River. Fishing was very good. The town is very small so I recommend doing some research before booking. Overall we had a great time.
