Don’t let this listing fool you …
Hi Jennifer & David Rogers,We checked out today, and I just wanted to offer some honest feedback. I’m not reaching out to ask for anything, and I don’t mean to sound arrogant or ungrateful—I just believe it’s fair to share what we experienced.You titled the property well—it definitely has charm. The inside of the house is nicely done and has a comfortable, welcoming feel. However, several issues left us disappointed and made the overall experience fall short of what we hoped for.⸻Cons:1.Boat Access MisrepresentedThe listing should clearly state that this is not a bay boat-friendly property. Our two 22–24 ft boats couldn’t make it through. This is really only suitable for a small jon boat. The low-clearance bridge that blocks boats with T-tops should absolutely be disclosed.2.Exterior ConditionThe outside is very dirty. A simple pressure wash would make a world of difference.3.Siding IssuesSome of the siding is melted or hanging off in places. This gives the impression that the home isn’t being maintained.4.Carport AreaThere was standing dirty water and mud under the carport, which made unloading messy and frustrating.5.Grill ConditionThe grill was completely rusted out and unusable. The baffles were gone, and we couldn’t get it to work at all.6.I work hard and value my time off, so I do come with high expectations. When my kids walked in and said, “Dad, this place is bad,” just 30 minutes after arriving. It’s was disheartening

Spring Break 2025
As advertised! We enjoyed everything about our stay. Manatee visited us daily on the floating dock. The house was on a quiet road with 4 houses. The nature that surrounded us was amazing!

Manatee Spectacular
We had plenty of room for our family. We were celebrating my 16 year olds birthday. We also hosted two of my sisters and their husbands. The kayak and dock access was a great treat. My 16 year old caught 8 bass and several brim right off the dock. The water was so clear you could see turtles, crabs, sheep head, mullet and of course the star of the show manatee right off the dock. The manatee visited every morning and afternoon. With a short kayak trip to the end of the canal you could see many more. We also paddled to the Emu farm just past the canal. We visited the local state parks and rented a pontoon boat for a morning to go up into Hunter Springs and Three sisters spring. There were manatee and dolphins everywhere in the river all the way out to the Gulf of America….lol. Would definitely recommend as house is great for large family getaways and being able to bring our dogs was a plus.

A riverside retreat to remember for the ages!
We had an all-girls nature retreat at this amazing home and I can’t imagine having spent such a magical weekend anywhere else.
The house comes with some kayaks and a canoe, which was so helpful. We had additional yaks dropped off by a local company called Sassa Style Rentals. We saw so many manatees on the water, enjoyed emu island, fishing, campfires, yoga by the river, and we experienced some incredible sunsets while exploring the marshes. The best surprise of all was the bioluminescence off the dock on our last night - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience watching glowing turtles and fish swimming through the dark waters.
As for the space itself, there was enough indoor space for everyone to be comfortable and the outdoor space was plentiful and private. I can say without a doubt everyone will always cherish this special slice of paradise and the memories we shared here.
Needless to say, I can’t recommend this place enough :)

Incredible Place!
Our stay at this river house was absolutely amazing. The beds were comfy, and the air was nice and cold. The home had such a peaceful setting. We made many memories as a family kayaking and canoeing. We loved visiting the state parks and local springs. Grocery shopping and restaurants were all close by. The host was amazing. They were helpful and always available. We are blessed to travel often and experience many different properties, and this property is at the top of our list. We look forward to return!

Great Vacation Spot!
This was a great place to stay, central to a ton of things. We were a large group (12 people) with young kids and had plenty of space in the house. The dock was a hit for fishing and kayaking/canoeing. Restaurants are close by, up to 15 min drive for some of them which provided nice views of the salt marshes. There are springs for swimming just up the road in Crystal River and beach access about 10 min away in the gulf. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels and blankets for when we needed them, and a nice firepit outside for s'mores nights with the kids. Definitely hit up the Ellie Schiller park just a few miles down the road to see manatees and other local wildlife! This was an ideal HQ for our vacation and we would definitely stay again!

Perfect hideaway
It is the second time we stayed at this lovely home and it won’t be the last. It really feels more like a home than a rental with fluffy towels and soft comforters. We love being on the water and they provide good quality kayaks and paddles. The house is situated on a quiet canal and within a few minutes on the water you are surrounded by nature and, if you are lucky like we were, dozens of manatees. Our stay was perfect and we will come back next year!

Springs and Scalloping
Everything you need is already here , lg. house and family room.
GREAT AIR CONDITIONING !!! +++
6 adults 3 children 7 , 4 , and 6mos.old.
The water at the dock behind the house is perfectly crystal clear and the kids enjoyed swimming in it and being taken out in canoe and kayak into the Hall river , saw emu island and lots of different fish.
Beautiful drive out to Ozella , and great seafood restaurants are close by, we really enjoyed "THE CRAB PLANT".
I recommend it !!
Easy access to several springs and numerous parks all around
We rented a pontoon boat for 2 days and we had a blast , got a few scallop , left the rest for you ! Plenty of local guides for scallops and fishing . Homosassa springs river waterfront is a happening place on both sides of the river . A large time was had by all .

Homosassa hidden treasure
Everything about the house was perfect. It was in a very quiet area. It had everything we needed for an extended stay (30 days). We kayaked often and saw manatees every time except one time. The kayaks that were provided were nice too. The master bed was very comfortable and having the bathroom in the bedroom was very convenient. We loved our stay and are considering renting again in the future.

Perfect for a quiet retreat
We go to Homosassa every year and love the location on Halls River. We bring paddle boards but the kayaks were a big plus. We love that it has little boating traffic so nothing disturbs the wildlife and there were about 13 manatees right around the bend. It was the coldest weather we e er had up there which was great for watching manatees and there are always a couple hanging around the dock in case the weather is not inviting enough to venture outside.
The house itself is beautifully decorated, more like a home than a rental property. And has everything and more than you could wish for. Even the instructions are written in such a friendly and welcoming tone that you feel right at home. Had the weather been better I think we would have missed outdoor seating/eating option but as it was I was happily watching manatees from inside! We already booked for next year!

Thank you!
We really enjoyed the property and its owners! Often when we stay at rental properties, we will bring along supplies. However, we did not need to bring any supplies with us - everything was provided for at the property. From towels to linens and cookware/dishes, we were very impressed. We have stayed at many properties over the years for scalloping and this was the first time we were able to stay at a place that provided everything. We really appreciated the sweet welcome basket and the thoughtfulness that went behind our welcome. Cannot recommend this property enough!

Informazioni sull’host
Host: Jennifer & David Rogers
We are David and Jennifer, long-time Florida residents who enjoy spending time with our family and friends in the great outdoors. David was born and raised in Florida, and so is a true Florida Cracker.* We raised our family in the central Florida area and now enjoy spending time with our 14 grandchildren both in and out of state. David has worked extensively for the theme park industry and Jennifer had a long career as a public school educator. We hope you love our home state as much as we do!
*Fun fact: The term Cracker is a colloquial term for a Floridian that developed in the late 19th century because of the crack of the whips used by Florida cattle ranchers!
Perché ha scelto questa struttura
We bought this property because we have a deep love for properties with an Old Florida feel. Although we have definitely enjoyed living 10 minutes from Disney for most of our married life, we loved taking our children camping in various parts of the state as they grew up. We hope to introduce more people to all the beauty that Florida has when you step outside of the more manicured attractions.
Cosa rende unica questa struttura
Stilt houses have a long tradition in Cracker architecture and the fact that it was waterfront on a quiet canal instantly appealed to us! We love the friendly neighborhood with all our great neighbors and ease of access to fishing and boating.
