Fun and relaxing

The property is located in a great spot, we docked our boat out front on the canal and was only a 10 minute ride to the river. The house was clean and roomy, all of us enjoyed it.

Great Place!

We have stayed in this location multiple years in a row and it never disappoints. The house is always ready and clean when we arrive, the host is responsive and accommodating. The house is in a great location, golf cart ride to all the restaurants and boat ramp. The dock more than accommodates our boat and is a great feature. Short ride to the river out of the canal, great middle ground from the bay for scallops or to the Springs passing Monkey Island. Worth the stay every year!

This is our second time staying here and we love how spacious the home is. Great location if you have a boat and the freeer is at the end of the canal for a convenient dinner on the boat. :)

Always a great place to stay

This is our 4th year in a row, staying here. Owners are great. Everything is always set up perfect. Right on a deep canal with easy access to the Freezer, Crumps, Springs and the Gulf. The dock and canal can handle a 28 ft boat with ease.

2nd time around

2nd year staying here for an extended time and enjoyed every moment. Location is great in a quiet neighborhood that is friendly. Home is spacious and on a dead end canal giving you privacy. We had dolphin and manatee visit many times during our stay. Close to the Freezer, Crumps, McRae's and Monkey Island. We enjoyed Seagrass and also the Margarita restaurant. We ventured to Crystal River and found a real winner - Peaks for a great fish dinner. Homosassa is a wonderful little community.

Nice place in a great area

We always come to the area around Christmas time. This is the primo area as you are close to the spring and good restaurants are nearby. Great area to walk around too. We had 2 houses we rented and this was where we put our adult boys. They had plenty of space and the house was very clean. Liked the porch in the back. Thank you!

We were able to recharge in this quiet hideaway. The house has everything you need to relax yet feel like home. We rented a golf cart and we’re able to go out to eat, shop, and hang out at local bars. We love our stay and the owners are kind and attentive!

Great Accommodations. Great location

Family outing and the home worked out well. plenty of room. we'll be back. some recommendations; when not used for a while, always make sure the sinks and tubs have water in their P traps. 1st night, sewer gas from the tub. ran some water then no problem. rage burners need new thermostats. was either on or off. pest control in dishwasher.
