Super clean, all kinds of extras for beach, fishing, biking, and kayaking. Literally less than 10 minutes from grocery stores, water access, manatee/dolphin tours, fishing charters, boat ramps, so many restaurants, and even airboats! We were able to check ALL the boxes for all of the activities our boys wanted to experience!

Great house, great host

The Coastal Beacon Property was a welcome refuge to stay while tarpon fishing Crystal River. A hot last few days in May this year, and the well appointed quiet location was a great place to return for a cool shower and air conditioned space after a very warm day on the boat.Shirrell was a great host and very communicative to all our needs. Would return for another stay

The best place we've stayed!

This lovely home was the best place we have stayed so far. It had everything we needed and more. We were able to do so much on our 3 day trip with hardly any planning because of the home's amenities and it's convenient location to all of the places we wanted to go. Our two children were thrilled and we were very comfortable. This house is a home away from home.

The host was very responsive and incredibly helpful. The lanai was the ideal spot for card games with family and friends, as well as dining. We loved sitting there to hear the birds sing; we could also sit out back and read while enjoying the Florida sunshine. The house is very well equipped with higher-end finishes.

Great homebase for our daily adventures

We enjoyed our stay in Homosassa so much. This house was perfect for us. On this trip we were a family of 7 my husband, myself, two daughters and three grandkids. The home was spacious and very clean. We all had plenty of space to spread out and relax. We picked Homasassa because we love spring hopping, paddleboarding the spring fed rivers & we knew we would end our week with a scalloping trip. This home was perfectly located and made a great homebase for all our adventures. It's so nice to vacation while having all the convinces of home. We loved this 3 bedroom fully equipped home. The grandkids loved the backyard activities. Not only was the inside spacous, clean and fully loaded the garage was fully stocked for an adventure. She had kayaks, life jacket, bikes and so much more. We give this property a 10 out of 10 review. We would definitely book with this host again

Amazing location for a great getaway!

We had a WONDERFUL trip! The house was perfect with EVERYTHING you need to experience the Crystal River Homosassa area, as well as being clean and organized. We fished and kayaked the various springs everyday...with kayaks, fishing tackle and everything you need for the beach provided with the house it also proved to the an extremely affordable trip. Everyone we met was kind and offered advice on places to check out. We highly recommend kayaking 3 sisters springs and rainbow springs. Be sure to check out the crab factory for something to eat. We did go during scallop season so we to do a scalloping charter- it was so relaxing and very rewarding as we where left with almost a 5 gallon bucket of scallops to enjoy. The host was great providing us with all the information to make a great trip, be sure to following the costal beacon fb page to help you plan your trip. Also this house says sleeps 8 and it really does! We slept 6 adults and 2 children comfortably everyone had somewhat of their own space to retreat to at night, but had a great open living/dining/kitchen space for hangout during the day as well. Also it really seemed to be very centrally located everything we did was never more then a 15 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!
