About this property

4 bedroom on deep water canal w/ boat dock. Ideal quiet location. 4 kayaks.

New home in Old Homosassa on deep water Otter Slide Creek w/ boat dock. Joins Homosassa SW of Riverside Resort. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 2 story house on concrete pilings. 3 deck/balconies w/ceiling fans, propane fire pit, ample parking, under house and paver back yard recreation area, boat dock tie up space for bigger boats (about 19' along dock plus another 5' beyond) and boat house w/lift for 77” wide small boat. 1 king bed on first floor, 3 queen beds on top floor. Excellent staging area for scallop season snorkeling or great fishing all year round. Your boat can be launched at public boat ramp at MacRae’s or others. Ample space for parking your boat or trailer on the area ahead of driveway west of house.

Enjoy a drink on the decking or patio while watching the fish jump in the adjoining waterway. Take advantage of the waterway and all it offers. Enjoy the quiet, relaxed seclusion of this waterfront property. It is only five minutes direct boat access to the clear Homosassa River and twenty minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. See the manatees and dolphins and other nature or just enjoy the fishing, boating and golf courses in this tranquil area of Florida. Enjoy regular visits from the manatee and dolphin from the dock in Otter Slide Creek and all the surrounding waterways.

4 kayaks and related gear available on-site for your use, along with some fishing poles to try out your fishing skills and luck from the dock. No promises on the worthiness of the fishing tackle.

Homosassa is only a 1 hour drive north of Tampa and one hour & 45 minutes to Orlando.

The Nature Coast of Florida deserves its name, with over ninety-eight thousand acres set aside as federal, state or county parks and preservation areas. It is a delight to all nature lovers, with extensive boating, fishing and golf courses within easy driving distance.

Old Homosassa is a preservation area with restricted development and still has a lot of the charm. The local supermarkets are only five minutes away, if you drive. Crystal River Shopping Mall is made up of shopping center which includes a multi-screened cinema. Crystal River is only a twenty-minute drive north.

The house is a 5-minute boat ride to The Freezer (2 min. by car), and about 8 min by boat to MacRae’s boat ramp or Crump's Landing.

Beautiful Home

We loved staying at this home! Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen ( perfect size coffee mugs!) and the access to the water was great. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to follow directions were in the house. It all felt brand new. Having the dock and being able to use the kayaks was the icing on the cake! The host was responsive and available for questions. Would absolutely stay here again!.

Hidden Diamond

Location of the house can be a bit tricky to find but is worth the effort. The property is the nicest home on the street and is exactly as shown on the VRBO website. The house is very clean and has plenty of cookware, glasses, etc. Our family of 8 had ample room to stretch out and the dining area easily seated all of us. Floyd, the owner, is very responsive to requests for information and help and was easy to reach.

Not our typical experience

We had a rough time here, unfortunately. Check in was not seamless, but we got it figured out. After getting in to the house we felt like the temp was hot (central Florida, close to a 90 degree day, house was at 80 degrees when we check in) so we dropped the thermostat temp to 70 and waited for things to cool off. Long story short, they never did. We finally realized the A/C was broken on the second day, called/texted the host, did not hear back. The next day we called/texted again and he finally responded. A/C tech was not able to come until the next day so on day 3 of no A/C. Repairman comes and says part won't be available for 2 more days. So on day 5 of no A/C at this point. Part finally comes in...broken. So we stayed the whole time with no A/C. Was it the hosts fault? I don't know how closely he follows his A/C maintenance schedule so I have no idea. Was it an inconvenience? Yes. Did it turn out as poorly as possible? Yes. Thankfully the host offered *some* refund, after we spent 3.5 hours on the phone with VRBO (which was the action the host told us to take) to no avail. Calling VRBO was like the worst gaslighting experience you have ever had, with a company that takes zero responsibility. The host was not at all knowledgeable about the process and doesn't seem to know what his responsibility is versus the company he works with. But like I said, ultimately after some negotiating we got some refund on our total stay. There were also biting bugs in the house.

Our best Homosassa stay ever!!

This property was amazing! The location was perfect for us. A bit of a kayak to the Springs, but the kayaks were fun for daily exploring. The kitchen was well appointed, beds comfortable, outdoor space wonderful. One small issue and owners were very responsive and delightful. Well maintained and immaculately clean property. Hope to stay again!

Thanksgiving Getaway

What a beautiful, well-kept property! It was so clean and well equipped with kitchen items, nice kayaks and comfortable beds. It had great, calm water access and is close to the restaurants on the water. The owner was very helpful and communicated with us right away. I would just suggest providing a few extra towels and pillows.

Fabulous Vacation!

We had previously secured a different vacation rental in Cape Coral which, sadly, was impacted by Hurricane Ian. I was so happy to find this one in Homosassa was still available! It was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own space, it was pristine clean, quiet and the space for our boat was perfect! Even the fish cooperated! LOL We had visited years ago in Homosassa and loved going back. The Hosts were very responsive and graciously allowed us to check in a little earlier. The beds were comfortable - we slept very well! I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to experience or revisit Old Florida in Homosassa. It's the perfect jumping off spot!
