We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet , relaxing. The screened in porch was very much used by us. We saw manatees in the canal! The tide affects the water level so some days that was possible and other days manatees were not in the cards.However many kinds of birds were seen. Especially on low tide days. Great Blue Herons, Coopers Hawk, Ibis, Red Shouldered Hawks, Warblers! Happy hour with music, seafood and cold drinks were within walking distances. We loved the low key, comfortable lifestyle of Old Homosassa. It wasn’t the high octane beach crowd that overpowers some parts of Florida.
