Great location close to spring!

The home was just as described in the listing and has a beautiful backyard on the canal to sit and hang out. The industrial ice maker was a plus and the paddle boards and lilly pad walking float were fun also! Very clean! Would stay here again for sure!

Great house/location

We visited for spring break. The house had lots of space and a great backyard overlooking the canal. It was close to our manatee tour location and the park was nearby. This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Our host was very friendly and helpful.

Amazing family location

Our stay was everything we could have wanted and more. The house was very clean, large enough to fit our family and had so many wonderful additions. The boat dock was very nice, tree lights were a beautiful touch and the large ice maker was a huge plus. We would absolutely go back and recommend this to our friends.

Scallop Season Getaway

This property was perfect! We really loved having an ice machine, being right on the water with places to tie up our boats, and the cleanliness was perfect! The paddle board was a hit too! We definitely recommend this property, communication with the property manager was great as well.

Great Place in Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. We really liked the the recliners after a long day of sightseeing. The house is in great shape in a great location. Just a couple of miles from Homosassa State park. The Margarita Grill is just across the bridge and has great food. The only regret we had is we wished we brought the whole family.

Great place for a vacation!

The property was just as advertised! Great place for family vacation. Many things to do close by. Great for fisherman too. Having an ice machine is a big plus when going fishing or just out on the boat for the day. House was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed! Thanks to the host for a wonderful place to stay and great communication! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the stay!!! Wesley provided immediate responses to our questions and concerns. The home was just what we were looking for. Seeing a manatee cow and calf from the house’s dock, in the middle of the summer, was icing on the cake. Thank you!
