The hosts were so helpful, and this place was very clean and comfortable. We went adventuring so much that we really didn’t get to enjoy this canal front home like it should be enjoyed. We stayed here to be close to manatees and we were super satisfied with the proximity from here to them! Thank you for a lovely stay.

This was such a great vacation spot. The hosts are so nice and communicated with us very well. The place is immaculate, and has everything you will need. They had a great selection of coffee available which was much appreciated. You will need a car, as this place is a short drive to town and to Three Sisters Springs. We saw lots of manatees, and had a great time.

This is a great little place. Close to downtown/ Three Sisters/Homosassa State Park, yet in a "private", seemingly remote area. Home was very comfortable and anything you could possibly want was provided by the host. Check in/out was easy and hosts were very responsive. I appreciate their ability to accommodate us on such short notice as well. We would definitely return on a future trip.

Beautiful home

Our stay was wonderful! A family vacation home built with love to share with your family. We enjoyed our stay . We felt comfortable and had all the amenities that you would have at home . The house is on the water and it is convenient to pull your boat there and enjoy the grill and fishing off the soak with our grandchildren. The house is located on a quiet street in a subdivision and felt safe there. Thank you will definitely book again

Amazing Place

The place was exceeded any expectations. Fully stocked, extremely clean and many extras (the view, safe quiet neighborhood). It was comfortable, like staying in your own home. Owner was extremely cooperative (I requested a later check out) with absolutely no questions asked. Would highly recommend this place and plan on returning in the future.

Perfect Getaway

Our family of 4 with a six and 10 year old thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, the space was clean and had a perfect spot to dock the boat. It was a very short boat ride to scallop, fish, and explore the springs. Also a short driving distance to the springs as well. It was the perfect size for our family and had many extras if anything was forgotten. Canal is very quiet and everyone around us was friendly. No complaints at all about this rental.
