About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront lake home w/ fishing, boating, & water activities!

Come and stay in this waterfront, spacious house with open floor plan, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, screened in porch, sun room and open deck located on the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. Includes private dock and boat house with electric hook up. The lake at present date 4/25/26 is at a record low due to the state wide Florida drought. Boating from our dock is not accessible at this time. (No change as of 8/24/26, I will update as soon as conditions improve.) We do have 2 kayaks for your use at your own risk right in your backyard. We do not allow children under 13 yrs of age to stay, due to some unforseen damages that have occurred. Our house is located 12 miles from Interstate 75 and the Florida turnpike in rural Inverness only 3.5 miles from historic downtown with grocery stores, shops, restaurants, and parks. (Liberty Park, Howard Wallace Park, Cooter Park, Whispering Pines Park, and Fort Cooper state park.) The Withlacoochee State Trail is a 46 mile paved rail-trail for walking and biking with access just 2.5 miles from the house.
This property is conveniently located approximately an hour and 15 minutes from Disney, Busch Gardens Tampa, Sea World, Aquatica, Universal, and both Tampa and Orlando International Airports.
If you are looking to just relax, stay at the house and enjoy fishing from the dock, kayaking, drinking coffee on the screen room porch watching the wildlife in the backyard, or grilling on the BBQ grill for dinner. There is also plenty of fishing if you bring your own boat, kayak or jet ski for the lake, nearby rivers and the Gulf of Mexico a short 20-25 miles away. There are also many public golf courses within a 30 minute drive to choose from.
There are a variety of chain and Mom & Pop restaurants, parks, museums and shops within 5 miles or just a short drive away you could visit some of our State Parks; Weeki Wachee, Homosassa Springs, Rainbow River, Hunter Springs, Three Sister Springs to name a few that are sure to please and show off our crystal clear springs and our Nature Coast, home of the Manatees and abundant wildlife to all who visit.
Come and enjoy relaxing or the many water activities such as kayaking, snorkeling clear waters, tubing, boating, fishing, scalloping or a day at Fort Island Beach.
We look forward to sharing our home with you soon.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Amazing house to spend your time in Florida. This house has everything you need for a home away from home. The waterway out back doesn’t disappoint from the occasional alligator to the great blue herons and fireflies at night. Our second time staying at the property and wouldn’t hesitate coming back.

This was the nicest rental property we've ever stayed in. Everything was clean, anything you'd need was provided, and the host responded quickly to any questions we had. We had a great time taking some friends out on the pontoon boat. Town is close enough for groceries, dinner etc, but sitting out on their patio at sunset made you feel like being out in nature.
