Parking was great no worries kitchen was good dishes and pots and pans were great we love this place we have been here twice and definitely going back again
We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful home! The decor and space created such a warm and inviting experience. We were especially appreciative of the thoughtful touches, like plenty of towels, essential amenities, and coffee provided, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
We loved the quiet peaceful location. The home was well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies and modern appliances. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our time spent in the home and general area.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and quiet property. The hosts were super kind and checked in on us and made sure we were all set for our stay. I wish I could give them 10 stars! We will definitely be back and will share this place with all our friends and family. A hidden gem for sure!

We cannot thank you enough for your kind words! We hope to have you again!
Incredible place! We had a great stay here for a few days of scalloping. The game room is awesome and the kids loved the bunk beds. We loved how private this place is. Absolutely will be booking again next year
Stayed 5 nights ,the views from 2 floor windows and covered porch were wonderful, My grandson loved the downstairs gameroom very spacious and ping pong might be his favorite game now , great family time.Lots of parking and private back yard in a quiet nature setting Just a very relaxed vacation, definitely will be back next year .
We have stayed at this property a few times and enjoy the proximity to the water for our boat outings as well as the how close it is to our favorite local bars. The host are very responsive to any questions and requests which is admirable and I highly recommend this property to other guests.
The house is nice and comfortable! We enjoyed our relaxing visit and great communication with owners. It is in a quiet area with good restaurants and an amazing ice cream stand nearby. As recommended by the host, we took an airboat tour with River Safari’s and had an amazing time!
Second time staying, we enjoy the peacefulness of the property with close proximity to all the bars and restaurants!
Well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and the garage game room is a fun addition, especially when it’s raining. Safe and quiet environment with short drive to the Freeze and MacRae’s -
Perfect place to stay in Homosassa!
We had an amazing time at Mason Creek! The location was amazing very close to all of our favorite places in Homosassa. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures. The hosts were very sweet and informational. We would definitely stay here again!
Spent three nights here and the house was very clean and in a great area of Old Homosassa. We had a blast checking out the area with the highlight being the manatees in the State park.
Homosassa is a great area to visit the springs.Very relaxing and enjoyable. Make sure to try Margaritaville it’s a fabulous place for lunch or dinner. The place we rented was perfect! Thank you so much!
