Great Place

We had a family of 7 staying and the large living room was perfect for conversation. The home is on a canal leading to the Homosassa River. Very clean with a well stocked kitchen. Kayaks were also available.

A Great Visit to Old Florida

This property was wonderful for our extended family of 7. The home had everything we needed and plenty of room to spread out. The views of the water were wonderful, and we were even able to fish right off the dock. The house is located in a nice area quiet area that showcases old Florida. Several good restaurants are nearby. The location worked out great to head to Crystal River and swim with the manatees as well. The owner was very responsive and helpful.

Relaxing and Breezy

We loved the house. The location was close to all things Homosassa. We spent most of the time relaxing under the house where the breeze kept most of the bugs and the heat away. The house was equipped with everything we needed and then some.

Florida New Year

Location was good. Three rooms meant that the 8th person had to sleep in the wide open living room. (We were able to make a bed for three to sleep in the room with no bathroom) This place is great for six people or less.

Very pleased with the location, cleanliness, boat dock, parking.....only complaint is the "commercial ice maker"..... ALOT smaller than what we were thinking when referred to as commercial. More like residential. Used the twice the ice down the road. Still great time!!!

Wonderful place

We loved our stay. It started out rough since we arrived around 4:00 and the key was not in the lock box. We had a struggle getting ahold of someone right away but they did call back with in 20 minutes so that wasn’t bad. Grateful they had another resource to get us inside since the cleaning people left the key on the counter instead of the box. Easy mistake. The owners were amazing to have a back up plan. The place was well stocked. Beautiful place and huge dock space. Loved the location. It’s right in the middle of everything. Short boat ride to any of the restaurants on the river. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Great place!

Overall, it was a great place to stay for 6 people. It was priced fair compared to others in the area. It would be great if the second bathroom wasn't inside the master bedroom, because we had to share 2 bathrooms between 6 people and one of the showers is really small for a normal sized adult. Biggest issue we found that could be improved was that there are no ceiling fans in any of the bedrooms, which makes it hard to temperature control the rooms and no ambient noise for comfort sleeping. Additionally, it seems that the washer and dryer closet has had a bit of wet clothes or cleaning rags sit because the closet smells of mildew. There is ample seating and space for hanging out. It is very conveniently located if you are trying to go to Homossassa to see the manatees, but otherwise it is in a pretty remote area with not a ton of quality restaurants or other things to do. Lastly, the host was awesome, responsive, and flexible with us, which we very much appreciated. The only other thing worth noting is the place is very religious oriented - there are crosses in the bedroom and religious sayings. The wifi network is "jesusluvsme" and password follows that. This is pretty in line with the attitude of the community, just not something I prefer to see so integrated in home decor and culture.
