Great location!

This is our second time staying here and we love how spacious the home is. Great location if you have a boat and the freeer is at the end of the canal for a convenient dinner on the boat. :)

GREAT GET AWAY

Always a great place to stay

This is our 4th year in a row, staying here. Owners are great. Everything is always set up perfect. Right on a deep canal with easy access to the Freezer, Crumps, Springs and the Gulf. The dock and canal can handle a 28 ft boat with ease.

Our Place

We book this place each year because we love the location, the amenities and the property manager is very accommodating! We enjoy the small town local feel of the neighborhood and look forward to our week each year. The house is clean, tidy and accommodates our group with ease. We love the fact that we don't have to put our boat in and out each day, just walk to the dock and hop in!

Quiet little spot with easy access to all the hot spots on and off the water

Perfect place to bring your boat. We used the house mostly as a place to lay our heads at night, staying out on the water all day. With the canal right next to some of the most popular waterfront bars and restaurants in the area (one directly off the canal), a beautiful ride to the clear spring water for a dip, or a twisty ride out to the gulf with some beautiful natural Florida scenery along the way, it's a boaters paradise! Nice, clean house with everything you would need in a home away from home.

Perfect Family Retreat

The house was perfect for my Family of five easy river access deep water canal. All the amenities of home where in the house. Outside cook out area and seating was perfect for cook outs and relaxation.Pet friendly which is always a necessity for families who love their pets as much as each other.Plenty of parking for boat trailer as well as guests who where visiting also. This is a 5 Star rental and will surely rent again unless i buy my own river retreat.

2nd time around

2nd year staying here for an extended time and enjoyed every moment. Location is great in a quiet neighborhood that is friendly. Home is spacious and on a dead end canal giving you privacy. We had dolphin and manatee visit many times during our stay. Close to the Freezer, Crumps, McRae's and Monkey Island. We enjoyed Seagrass and also the Margarita restaurant. We ventured to Crystal River and found a real winner - Peaks for a great fish dinner. Homosassa is a wonderful little community.

Awesome place! Awesome trip!

This cabin was everything you ever need for a great trip in Homosassa. We were very comfortable staying there with a big living area with perfect sized rooms. The only thing we would suggest is a crockpot. We noticed that there wasn't one there, maybe we overlooked it. However we have no complaints! Very easy to get to the freezer, the main river, springs, and out to the scallop grounds. Thanks for a great trip!

A Peaceful Place Full of Adventure

We stayed on this beautiful property that offered all the comforts of home for an entire week. The house, spacing, and location was beyond approach. The area is quiet, relaxed, and full of peaceful encounters. We saw a dolphin, relaxed and caught fish, enjoyed evening walks around the neighborhood. If you are looking to decompress and reset your pace..... this is the place. The owners are amazing, friendly, and responsive! A great place to spend quality time with the family.
