We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals. This is without a doubt the best experience we have had.
Anyone who has spent time on the Homosassa River knows how crowded and crazy it gets on Holidays. Memorial Day weekend was no exception.
Picture being on 9 nicely manicured acres bordered on 3 sides by water, a large conservation area, plenty of parking for your vehicles, a place for your boat trailer, and a nice private dock for your boat!
I put in at the public ramp at Macrae’s and within 12 minutes was at the private dock. Far enough away from the center of craziness, but close enough to get to it when you feel the need. Coming back from fishing and partying we did not have to jockey for a tight slip surrounded by boats, or worry about parking in tiny spaces.
The home was very clean and well apportioned. The owners did a great job with the little things that you need, but most never think of. All of our meals were prepared on site. Either in the air-conditioned home, or downstairs under the house on the grill. Speaking of cooking the only items we needed to provide was the food. The pots, pans, china, and silverware were in pristine condition. The area downstairs is set up with a grill, a couple of nice tables and plentiful chairs. A nice breeze coming off of the river made it surprisingly pleasant while barbecuing. The little white Christmas lights create a relaxing atmosphere at night.
You have a view of the river while sitting in the living room or on the porch, a view of the bordering well maintained canal while on the bedroom balcony, and a view of the conservation area while in the second bedroom window seating area.
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner’s daughter Annette. She was finishing up preparing the house when I arrived. Within 5 minutes Annette made me feel at home and treated me like one of the family. Very personable and a great source of information.
It’s the small things that take the stress out of a vacation. You’ll find them all here.
