About Owner - Joan & Peter
We have traveled many parts of Florida for many years and have always come back to Homosassa. We chose this home for its beautiful serenity and closeness to nature. When we don't have to work we will be spending many days here. Our grand kids love the place and get a first hand experience with the fabulously beautiful "Nature Coast" and all the it has to offer! We look forward to sharing this beautiful place.
Owner - Joan & Peter purchased this House in 2011
Why Owner - Joan & Peter chose Old Homosassa
This area means a lot to us, especially for all it offers to the nature lover and the sportsmen. We have always spent many vacations with our children and exposed them to the value of nature and helped develop their appreciation for nature and healthy activities. This area continues to offer wonderful things for any family! It is especially wonderful that the property is waterfront. Our dock has room for two boats, a place to put the Kayaks in to the water and still plenty of room for off the dock fishing. During the winter months Manatee and Babies usually swim up for a visit.
What makes this House unique
Outdoor activities galour!! Fun times and many unique experiences for couples or families with children. Birds, animals, fishing, snorkling, exploring and a very close proximity to all the great theme parks of Florida!! The pool is incredible and the property and entire area is very beautiful. Serenity and privacy and lots of fun!

Perfect home
This is a lovely home in a beautiful, quiet location. The owner, Joan, is very good and thoughtful to work with. Definitely worth a repeat visit.
So glad that you enjoyed your stay enough to make a return visit.
This area of Florida, The Nature Coast, is beautiful and offers so much.
We look forward to your next stay!
The Sanctuary
The property and the house were spectacular. The views and wild life definitely Old Florida. The scenery on the drive up was beautiful. Everything was as described and everything you need is on hand. I would love to go back to this property in the future. The one and only thing I would change would be to make my stay longer.
That's always our biggest regret also... leaving! We are so happy that you enjoyed you stay! The area is so lovely and relaxing... Nature's Coast at its best!! We hope that you do stay with us again!
It’s a Beautiful Sanctuary
From the owner to the property and the entire area all I can say with all honesty ... it’s fenomenal!!! The house is the right amount of far from the world but close enough to quickly go out get a bite and run back to sweet peace and relaxation. The weather was a bit crazy due to the upcoming hurricane which never arrived but nonetheless it was a amazing stay for my family and I. Thank you for everything.
We are thrilled that you all enjoyed your stay! Yes, the Homosassa area provides something for everyone! It is great for a quick get away... relaxing, fun and plenty to do. The Nature Coast is spectacular!
The Sanctuary
This property is truly a sanctuary. We had an amazing time and the property was just what the owners promised. Everything we needed was provided and we thoroughly enjoyed the location, pool and kayaks. Would definitely stay here again.
Thanks for great review! We knew you would love the place. It gives you all anyone needs... Total relaxation or fun fun fun!! And everything in between!
Please come again, we love repeat visitors!
Retreat Style Setting
We really enjoyed staying at the sanctuary of Homosassa. It was a beautiful house and location. We came up for scalloping, but of course this wasn’t the best year due to all the rain, and some boat issues we had :(, but the home was very accommodating with the pool, the kayaks, and horseshoes we had plenty to keep us busy. Lots of great local restaurants and I found myself a gift to take home from the local potter Pepper Pottery. Great stay!
Glad that you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the scallops. They will be back next year and bountiful! The gulf is beautiful for boating fun.
The Potter is a friend, so glad you got to her shop. Homosassa has quant shops and restaurants - always fun visiting them. Please stay with us again... Can't beat the fun in the pool.
Loved the Sanctuary!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our stay at "The Sanctuary." The home is in fantastic shape and the setting couldn't be more peaceful. We used the canoe for a trip up Masons Creek. The pool is fantastic as well. We were fortunate enough to see a manatee right behind the house from the pool deck. We'll be returning!
Yay!! I love when people love our place... So peaceful and lots of fun! A great family place.
Love that you got to see a manatee right there.
We hope you do come again!
Map
We are 65 minutes from Tampa and Busch Gardens and 1 hour and a half from Orlando, Disney World, Seaworld and Universal Studios. Clearwater and its beautiful beaches and Aquarium , home of “Winter” star of “Dolphin Tales are an hour drive from the house. Sandy white beaches are located in Chrystal River, a 15 minute drive or 25 minutes south to Pine Island. Enjoy all the activities Florida has to offer in a short ride. This area is remote enough to take you away but close enough to major grocery chains & restaurants.
