Large home on short canal to Homosassa River was very inviting and clean with large bedroom on main floor and three bedrooms upstairs. Kitchen was well equipped, and the home layout was very good. The location made it a good home base for excursions to other interesting places in the northern Gulf coast (the "Bend"). The nearby wildlife park was very enjoyable, and Rainbow Springs State Park near Dunnellon was beautiful and a must see. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended!
