Fantastic property!

We had such a great time at this lovely property! We traveled with another couple. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The property is spacious and clean and has everything you need (including an industrial ice machine!) to make a nice relaxing holiday. Once you leave the canal you're right in the thick of restaurants and not far to head out to the gulf or to the springs. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. Speaking of the owner, he afforded us a late checkout and suggested enjoying a Sunday fun day, which we took full advantage of! I would absolutely recommend this property and will be booking again myself next summer. A++++

Excellent host and great house!

From check-in to check-out the host was very responsive! This was an excellent property inside and out for our scalloping trip with easy access to the ocean and great boat parking. Close proximity to places like The Freezer or The Monkey Bar. Great outdoor living space and fire pit area were a huge plus as well. We will be booking another trip soon!

Quiet Spot in the Cove

The property was great. It was quiet and close to lots of eating places and Homosassa Springs. We loved this place and would definitely go back. With the exception of the "clutter" on the porch and the lack of a host's book, I would rate the property as a 5.

Great fishing getaway

This house was the perfect set up for a fishing getaway. Lots of room inside and fabulous outdoor amenities. Just a short boat ride to several waterfront restaurants. Inshore fishing was fantastic with lots of reds and trout. Definitely booking next year.

EXCELLENT place to stay!

We have a group of couples that visits Homasassa every year and wish we'd have found this home sooner! We loved everything about it! Great location, very nice/clean, beds are super comfy, the host was SO responsive, helpful & accommodating, VERY well stocked kitchen, linens, etc. We especially love the outdoor paver/fire pit area and the boat dock. The canal was so much quieter than staying on the main river as we have done in the past. No airboats in the canal and very easy access for our boat. We will definitely be back and also plan to bring the family!

Beautiful home, fantastic vacation

Such a beautiful home! Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open living space, and a kitchen with full appliances and cookware all made the stay feel like home. The backyard had a great seating area, fire pit, and a dock large enough for our 24 foot boat. Parking was enough to hold three vehicles and our boat trailer. More importantly the owner stayed in contact with us throughout our stay; he was very responsive with any questions we had about the area. If you are looking for a great vacation getaway in a quiet neighborhood, look no further!

Great Place

This home was everything the listing said it was and more. Great location. Easy to get to by car and boat. Very comfortable and clean. Quiet neighborhood. Very well stocked. Commercial ice maker a big plus. Screened in porch is very nice as is the paver outside patio. There’s even a tv out there. We didn’t use it though. Boat dock was plenty big enough for our 24’ bay boat and is equipped with water and electric. The owner is very helpful and responds to questions quickly. We would love to stay there again.

Relax, Rest and Rest

“Lazy time at the river is time we’ll spent.” We had a wonderful time. The house was lovely and suited all our needs. The view was priceless. We kayaked in the canal. We rented a pontoon for one day. We boated to the Gulf and the springs to see dolphins and manatees. We rented a golf cart for easy transportation and exploring the area. The people are friendly and the food is good. Planning a return trip soon.

Interesting canal life.

This rental was very nice. Lots of room both inside and out. A large screened in porch and a huge patio area with part of it under a roof with ceiling fans and a TV. We saw lots of birds and was even visited by a small alligator. My husband really enjoyed using the kayaks. Perfect area for kayaking. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. The only negative thing was that the no-see-ums really bit us. So bring spray that works for those!!

Perfect peaceful location!

My husband and I stayed here 3 nights, and it was a great location. My parents joined us for 2 of the 3 nights. We launched our 20 ft boat from the ramp that was just over a mile from the property. Nice tie ups at the dock and plenty of room! The outdoor space is lovely, the home was well stocked with everything that you could need. The inside was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and we had no issues with parking 2 vehicles at the property, along with our boat trailer. The owner was very responsive and prompt to our questions and was very kind and helpful. We truly loved the peaceful location!

Birthday surprise!

Visited the area for a birthday celebration with family. Had a great time at the local eateries, enjoyed the kayaks and manatees! The seafood was delicious! Also, got to soak up some sun and read a book on the patio which was awesome! Overall, a great weekend…thanks David!

Quiet and serene

What a perfect spot for a quiet getaway, so totally us! It was off the beaten vacation path! We loved watching the fish jump in the river, and the blue herons visit us each morning on the dock. The cabin had everything we needed…even extra blankets for the chilly mornings and evenings! Who says you can’t watch a movie on the dock wrapped up in a blanket?!??? It was central to everything we needed…and if you want, you can even walk up to several bars. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality David! You were quick to answer our questions and it was appreciated!!

Look no further, this house is perfect

This was my second time staying at this house and it is absolutely the best house to rent in homosassa for scallop season. The covered patio is a great place to relax (with big fans to keep the mosquitos away). There is a big ice machine. The house has to plenty of room to comfortably all 7 in my party (with one bed unused!). The owner is a pleasure to communicate with and really cares about the guests’ experience.

Perfect Location and House

Owner made check in very easy and sent a few messages just to make sure everything was OK. House is just as pictured and we all enjoyed the fire pit at night in the recently renovated back yard. We rented a Pontoon Boat at Homossasa Springs Marina which is only a 10-15 minute boat ride away from the house. It was easy to Dock behind the house. We enjoyed the area, plenty of restaurants and attractions close by. We would stay here again.

Choices of where to hang out.

Great choices for eating /drinking/socializing: inside in living room, in the screened porch, in the open or under cover on the patio by the canal. Fire pit with wood a nice touch. Small kitchen, but house is good size for 3-4. Good communication with Owner. Very quiet.

Staycation for a short break away on the water

Convenient location on the river and a short ride out to the Gulf of Mexico on the boat. Tastefully decorated with all the amenities needed when staying inside or enjoying the view outside on the paver patio. Quiet neighborhood. Beds were comfortable. Everything looked clean and fresh. House is well-maintained and has relaxing vibe. We hope to visit again soon.

This house was perfect for our needs. My boyfriend and our friends stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect. The outdoor area was BEAUTIFUL and the inside was clean and very well stocked with towels and kitchen supplies! We even got engaged here so it’s extra special to us, and we can’t wait to stay again next year and make this an annual trip! Everything was perfect at this house and super clean.
