My family vacationed at this property in June. We had a great time just hanging out at the house. The porch was amazing just to sit back and relax and chat with the family. Everyone loved fishing right off the dock, and there were plenty of catfish that were caught during our stay. The property was clean and had every convience of home. If you are looking for a unhurried vacation I definitely recommend Homassa Springs. My family has done the Disney thing quite a bit, and this was such a nice change for us. Also, Jeff was very helpful and prompt in returning calls and emails. I am very satisfied with my experience with this owner.

Wow, were we impressed! Not only was the owner responsive to our needs, but the house was all and more than this site can show. Close enough to everything but far enough away for us to know we weren't near a city. We brought our own canoe & kayak and paddled for hours just off the dock (caught sea trout!), really enjoyed exploring the hidden springs just up the road. We brought our dogs and even they had a great time fishing with us off the dock and playing with the neighbors lab. Family dinners were a breeze with the way this place is set up and the porch had such an enticing view & breeze it was a challenge to make it into the comfortable beds in the late hours of the night. I would highly recommend staying here and assure you that this will be first on our list when we return.

What a great place to stay in Homosassa. The view is just incredible. The cabin is one I would want to go back to year after year. A dolphin came up to the back dock. The springs near by are delightful. Plenty to see and do nearby but, you really don't want to leave the Cabin. We did bring our boat and managed to find not only the springs but the Gulf of Mexico without problems. Beds are comfortable, showers are large, all appliances work I would rate a excellent stay and will go back.
