60 Feet Of Dock, Wheel Chair Friendly In Old Homosassa


Meticulously remodeled to be the best vacation rental in the area, Otter's Den is wheel chair friendly with a chair lift in the garage and 3ft or wider doors throughout except in the guest hallway, bedroom and bath. 60 ft of dock space on a deep water canal means your boat is in your back yard ready to head for the Gulf, the springs, or even a waterfront restaurant. Most furniture and appliances are brand new including all beds (King in master bedroom, 2 twins that can be moved together in the guest bedroom.) Master bath area has a walk in closet, travertine (real stone) shower stall, and new toilet, sink, exhaust fan and light fixtures. Guest bath has tub, shower, and is newly tiled with all new fixtures as well. the kitchen and dining area sports a new dishwasher, electric stove with stainless hood, built in microwave, a huge walk-in pantry, double door refrigerator with ice maker and through the door water dispenser, toaster, blender, and quality flatware and service for 8. There is a 60 inch plasma TV in the living room, and LCD TV's in the bedrooms and kitchen. The home has vaulted ceilings and an 'open air' feel with lots of skylights and pocket doors that disappear into the walls leaving a vast open view of the spacious deck, the dock, the water and wildlife. A large 2 car garage and driveway should take car of your vehicles, but there is extra parking nearby for boat trailers and possibly an RV. Recreational amenities include 2 bicycles, a double kayak, a single kayak, canoe, 2 spinning rods with tackle for fishing off the dock. Serious anglers should bring their own gear. A four person 14ft Carolina Skiff with 2 bench seats, Bimini top and 9.9 hp Evinrude four stroke motor is available to qualified boaters for an additional fee. The house is on a private paved single lane road facing 3 acres of undeveloped deciduous woods. Most houses in this neighborhood are owned by weekenders who come 'up to the river' for fishing, boating, or just to relax.

Great waterfront.

Great large house with lots of extras. Large garage that can fit a truck. Large dock space and good trailer parking. The turn on the road is tight with a larger trailer, but manageable. Will definitely will stay again.

Great Stay at Otters Den

Wonderful week at Otters Den again. Our second stay there and already booked again for next years scallop season. Everything was in order. The home is well appointed with everything you could possibly need (and more) for a nice stay. Terry is a great host and the neighbors are very friendly too which is something you may not often get during a busy rental season! Local dining locations can get very crowded, so we opted to provision the week to eat at home which turned out to be a much better and relaxing option although we did dine out our last night. Thank You Terry for a great week at your beautiful home. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Greg, Carolyn and Olivia

Nature getaway with boat dock in Florida

This is a beautiful home in the middle of natural Florida. We were easily able to dock our boat for the entire stay. Even if you do not have a boat, this is a perfect location. We enjoyed the serenity of the area. Communication with the host was easy, and the home was perfectly clean and beautifully decorated. We look forward to returning.

Otter's Den

This was our third time staying in this rental home. Our family was very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay. We were able to bring our small dog with us. Being able to keep our boat in the water at the home's dock was convenient and a big plus for us.

I typically use VRBO 2-3 times per year and Otter's Den is definitely the cleanliest, well stocked and most organized that I have rented. Kudos to the cleaning crew! Beautiful spot, great dock, nicely accommodated our 24 foot boat. Beds and seating very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. It's really perfect. Terry is close by and available if needed. Thank you Terry for making your wonderful home available to rent, we'll be back!

Great location (especially for boaters)

Great layout. Lots of room for family time as well as separate space when needed. Had our 20 and 11 year olds and they didn’t need to be in each others hair. Great deck facing canal. Parking would be tight for multiple vehicles, owner has options across road and possibly offsite, so it’s not a big deal Hope to return when Mother Nature isn’t playing cruel pranks on the south

Excellent Property

Beautiful home, spacious and comfortable with all the amenities. Deck and dock are terrific and access to the canals and river is easy. Owner next door is readily accessible and eager to respond to any problems or needs. The dishwasher failed while we were there and a new one was installed in two days, even tho the owner had to drive quite a ways to get it and put it in himself. Restaurants, shops and parks are nearby. Nice dog park, too, within 10 minutes. Highly recommended.

Homosassa is Old Florida at its best

We had a fantastic stay at the Otters Den in Homosassa FL. The house is very well maintained and the side street that it is on, is very quite. We immensely enjoyed all that Homosassa and Crystal River FL had to offer. The HSWSP ( Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park ) is a great mid-week venture to take with the whole family. It has beautiful views of the river and spring, surrounded by a thick canopy of Florida's lush forest and understory. We would like to extend a thank you to Terry for the use of his Skiff and other equipment ( Large Pot and outdoor burner for our Low Country Boil ). It was a great experience and we look forward to our next stay.

Better than the pictures

We stayed at this wonderful waterfront property last week. We hated to return back home. The house was immaculate, the bed was comfy. It was at the quiet end of a canal. It was well stocked with essentials. We were very impressed with the quality of the kitchenware, especially the knives. Most VRBO rentals we've done have lacked in that department. We rented the skiff with the property and the motor was a bit persnickety, but it allowed us to fish, see a manatee in the river, and get us to Macrae's and The Freezer. We would definitely recommend this property!

Perfect vacation home!

My husband and I have rented this house at least three times and we love it! The house is very open, with lots of glass windows and doors for viewing the water. We saw a dolphin feeding in the canal every morning, while preparing to go scalloping. The scalloping, by the way, is amazing this year! We have a 24’ center console boat and there is enough dock space left to park another. There’s even a lot across from the home to park your boat trailer. The outdoor deck and bbq grill were a huge hit in the evenings. Everything you need is already there, just bring your clothes, food and necessities. The owner is awesome and very helpful...he’s local and knows the places to go. This home is super clean and comfortable, on a beautiful deep water canal, which is only minutes out to the river. We definitely recommend this home and can’t wait to go back!

EXCEPTIONAL RENTAL!!

We have been going to Homosassa for years to go scalloping. We have stayed at a wide variety of rental properties and this one far exceeded any we had stayed at before. The house was clean, updated, spacious, well stocked, and VERY nicely decorated. It is located down a quiet canal easily accessible from the main river, and right around the corner from our favorite place to eat, The Freezer. The owners are very friendly and easy to reach if there are questions or problems. It rained quite a lot on our trip, so the home was a great place to stay and still enjoy the nature around us. The wide open kitchen, dining, and living room area allowed us to have several friends from other properties come over to "hang out" while we sat out the rain! We just wish this place had one more bedroom, but that will not stop us from coming back. The memories made and shared from this vacation and great rental property will last a life time!!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Evans

Host profile image
While building our little pocket cruiser my wife and I decided finally to retire to our favorite Old Florida getaway - Old Homosassa. We'd been visiting here and bringing friends for years and always dreamed of living here permanently. Now we do!

Why they chose this property

When another house in our quiet neighborhood became available, we bought it from the owner before it was ever listed on the market. The neighborhood is perfect, the house is well constructed and has always been well cared for, and the waterfront location is the best in the area. We bought the house specifically to remodel as a vacation rental (We have others in Roatan, Honduras), but I'm sure that if Otters Den had been available when we were shopping for ourselves we'd be living there now.

What makes this property unique

60 feet of dock space on a deep canal 1/2 mile from the Homosassa River, 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico makes the house a boater's dream. A wheel chair lift in the garage allows easy accessibility for elderly or disabled. The rear deck is huge, the back porch/family room, living room, kitchen and master bedroom all have great water views and north light without glare.
