Tranquil Waterfront Cottage. 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom. Sleeps 2

Lovely, beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage for 2 adults. Perfect for your honeymoon or romantic getaway, but if needed there is room for 2 small children on the living room sectional. You are overlooking a Crystal clear waterway that leads to the Halls River. The River runs thru several lakes on its way to the Homosassa River then to the Gulf of Mexico. Good fishing in crystal clear water right off your patio. Bass, Bluegill, Mullet, Porgy, Sheepshead & stingrays are some of many different varieties that frequent the area. The cottage is a great area for sight seeing, manatee, porpoise, otters, turtles and stingrays frequent the waterways off your dock. Several great blue heron, ibis, many bard owls and wood storks also frequent your back yard. Just recently we’ve had a white peacock that visits every couple of days. We’ve named her princess. She is just beautiful !! There are also a great variety of birds in the area and most of our waterways are bird sanctuaries . You have a dock for a small boat and plenty of room to park your boat and trailer. The cottage comes complete with life vests, 4 person paddle boat, 2 kayaks and a canoe. A lovely yard that is fenced on 2 sides has water on the other two sides. A quiet and charming area to relax.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

We loved our stay! The hosts are soooo welcoming and helpful. I'm sure I have never been greeted by handwritten letter from the hosts with places to go, eat, and shop. They check in with us and suggested outings. The house is so cute and perfect for us for this experience. Yes, sitting in the backyard at night by the river is a bit like being in Jurassic Park with the sounds and movements of nature all around, but that's exactly what you get and want with a Crystal River experience. Thank you! We hope to be back. Best wishes to our hosts!

This cute cottage was everything we hoped for and more! Our favorite part was watching the sea otters swim by. They have kayaks that we used to paddle down Margarita Grill. We docked the kayaks and ate at the restaurant. On the way we saw manatee, turtles, fish, and so many birds. We also saw the emu and llamas at Emu Island. There's also fishing poles you can use. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals except for the food. There's a grill outside, coffee maker with k cups and creamer, and cold bottles of water in the refrigerator. The wifi and Roku worked great! We could tell that the owners put a lot work into making this place a comfortable, memorable, enjoyable, worry-free, holiday oasis. The location and extra amenities make it an incredible value! We will definitely be back!

Best nature coast vacation rental in Homosassa for couples wanting to escape it all! We have stayed in this lovely home twice now and we will be visiting again. The manatees swimming through the backyard, fish,turtles and we seen a baby black tip shark this time. It’s really exciting to just turn the spot light on out back on the dock around 9pm and just watch all the wildlife. Even the squirrels and raccoons are entertaining to watch. Very peaceful and smelled so clean when we walked through the door. There are so many antique and thrift shops around the area you could spend a rainy day enjoying that. We took a couple hour drive to peace river for a day to look for fossils in the river. Found many sharks teeth and prehistoric fossils if your into that it is a beautiful river and to find an area to sift for cheap I recommend Brownsville Park and pay 2 dollars for parking. The owners to this property are right next door which is convenient but honestly you don’t even know they are there the back yard is very private. If you take the gheenoe out you will almost always see manatees it seems. If your not having any luck paddle out to the middle and just patiently wait a few moments with your paddles out of the water in silence to hear one coming up for air. They seem very curious so they will come close. I would recommend this house to anyone who loves nature and privacy.

You will enjoy your stay here. Such a quaint place. We didn’t want to leave. Right in the middle of everything, restaurants and activities. The hosts were fabulous. They left information and brochures for all the spots to visit. The bed was comfy. We saw lots of fish, an otter swam by, circled back and poked his head up to look at us. We also saw the neighborhood albino peacock. It’s very quiet and restful. We will definitely come back! Thank you Debbie and Dennis!

This cottage is a tranquil, beautiful peace of paradise. Located on a large corner lot with inviting seating on different spots along the stream. The inside is perfect for a couple get-away with many helpful necessities. We used the paddle boat with paddles for a short water trip. It is very convenient to Homosassa Springs state park and restaurants abound. Only downside is I wish we could have stayed longer.

It was dark upon arrival making it challenging to find but luckily the owners were home to direct me, as they reside nextdoor. The cabin felt very welcoming and clean, beautifully decorated. Owners are very sweet. Motion sensor lights would be beneficial for at night. Sadly the majority of the time I was there (2 weeks) the water was very low so I could not use the kayaks. It was unusually cool as well. I was hoping to see more wildlife during my stay but did get to meet the Woodstork (s) that visits. The cabin is perfect for a shorter stays, however for longer ones, a few things to consider. No stove/oven (there is a Ninja Air Fryer and some electric skillets), mini fridge, no on-site laundry, no ice or enough space to store a bag of ice. Description says there is a larger fridge with ice out back but there wasn’t. Also no hair dryer. Had I known I would have brought my own. A strainer and some food storage containers would be helpful for the kitchen as well. Overall my stay was comfortable and pleasant. Loved being so close to Crystal River as well as the wildlife state park. Conveniently located close to restaurants and stores. Serene and quiet.
