Great Place and Location

We had a very nice time in Homosassa. The host and property manager were super responsive to every question that we had. The house is very big which was nice since I had to do some work during the day. It is so close to many fun things to do and wonderful places to eat. It was also nice to be so close to the pool. We would come back to this house and location again.

A perfect vacation home to rent!

We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. The house was equipped with everything we needed. It was easy having a boat ramp and dock to tie our boat to. Our children enjoyed playing tennis and swimming in the pool. The house was in a great location so that we could visit the springs and nearby restaurants. I would highly recommend this vacation home to others.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Smith

Host profile image
We grew up in Maryland so are lovers of water, fishing and crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay, swimming along the beaches in Ocean City and enjoying the wildlife throughout the state. Kenny's career caused us to both spend over 20 years in Bermuda so again we were captivated by the water. So when Kenny retired and we saw this gorgeous but quaint waterfront opportunity, we couldn't resist owning and enjoying it.

Why they chose this property

We saw the resort in 2013 while visiting my sister in a nearby retirement community so we booked a vacation there for the following February, 2014. We enjoyed it so much that when we saw this house go up for sale, we settled on it before the end of the following month. We've only owned the house since March 2014 but we hope you enjoy it and the surrounding activities as much as our friends, family and we do.

What makes this property unique

Manatees in winter, scalloping in summer, golfing and fishing year round, gorgeous views, beautiful home!
