About this property

The Creek! in Old Homosassa across the street from the Freezer

  • Relax at this quiet, waterfront 1-bed/1-bath home featuring a full kitchen, comfortable living area, private screened-in porch, and in-unit laundry. Enjoy peaceful canal views right from your porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening unwind time. There’s plenty of parking available for cars and trailers, and you can cook up your fresh catch on the charcoal grill.

    Bring your kayak, paddleboard, or small boat! The property offers easy water access, though please note the shallow water and low bridge (~6 ft clearance) limit access for large boats or vessels with tall tops, towers, or windshields. Flats boats, jon boats, surface drives, jet skis, and canoes are ideal. A small on-site boat ramp makes launching simple.

    You’ll also love the location—just 200 ft from The Freezer and close to The Shed, Monkey Bar, and other popular local spots. Perfect for a relaxing waterfront stay with convenience at your doorstep.

    This is a duplex, please see my other listing on VRBO. https://www.vrbo.com/3287824?unitId=3860920

Great spot on the canal

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was great and everything worked really well. Location was very nice just a block from the freezer restaurant and McRaes Shed was very close. Very quiet. It was a little too chilly for us to kayak but it would have been very convenient if the weather had been better. We would consider coming back if the occasion happens.

Scalloping home base

We were in Homosassa for scalloping and this property was perfect. It is a great location to walk or haul trailer/boat to marina. We had plenty of room to park our car and trailer. The creek in front of house is beautiful and provided a great setting for sitting either on the sofa inside or screened porch. Bed and bathroom were comfortable. We will book this property again.

Perfect getaway

Perfect little place for two! Very clean and comfortable. The a/c felt amazing after each long day in the heat! There is plenty of room to park a boat trailer, with some experience maneuvering as there's not a lot of room to turn around a larger trailer. We brought our 20'center console with Tower and launched it each morning (can't get to the house in the water with our boat as it's too tall to fit under the bridge). Will definitely be back. This is a great place!

Nice Long Weekend

We stayed Thursday through Sunday. The house was quiet, clean and within walking or a very short driving distance to the places we love to go. The only concern we had was the booking process sent us the wrong property information, which in turn led to wrong codes to get in and Wi-Fi codes. But, these were easily sorted out within a few minutes of contacting the property manager. Understandably, it was a technical glitch. Just double check your correspondence after booking for now! Thank you for a nice place to stay!

kayaking and fishing

The property is at the end of a dead end steet. It is very quiet and private. Threre is a boat ramp which works well for a kayak and even for a small boat. The canal provides a quick access to the Homosassa River. The area is vast and I would recommend a GPS when venturing out into the bckcountry. There are many beautiful areas to explore and many of the native species to see including manatees, dolphins, ospreys, eagles, annhingas, herons, ibises and other bird species. The tides are tricky and it would be best to get information regarding tides from the local outfitters. The rental space is comfortible and has new and functional appliances. There is a supermarket about four miles away and several small stores nearby.
