Best in Homosassa
This was our second scallop season at the Retreat and again thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The accommodations and dockage were great, the weather cooperated and we even got plenty of scallops. All of my interactions with Evolve and the local representatives were professional and timely. We look forward to returning next year!

From the owner: "Wow wow wow!!! What an amazing review!!!! Thank you so much for being a repeat renter! You are welcome back AGAIN, any time!"
Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at this property. Location and view were excellent. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. Spent most mornings enjoying the sights and sounds off the back balcony and the afternoons and evenings swimming and fishing off the dock.
Had a great girls weekend here. The house is decorated so wonderful with a lot of attention to detail. Very close to everything and great neighborhood. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful house. Just perfect for the R&R that my husband and I needed. The location was great. So many restaurants near and tons of water sports which we love. The morning sunrise on the back porch was my favorite part. The house is decorated just beautifully. Would love to visit again and highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! The property was in excellent condition and the amenities and attention to detail in the house was exceptional. Docking for my boat was the best we've seen in our 8 years of vacationing in Homosassa. The property was Five Stars Plus! Next scallop season we'll be definitely be back!

From the owner: "What an awesome review! We take pride in making the house comfortable for our guests, so THANK YOU for your kind words! Welcome back any time!"
We enjoyed boating, fishing, crabbing and riding bikes at Liberty Park in Inverness.The house was perfect for us; however, the parking became an issue if you had a large truck trying to back in and out without driving on the neighbor's driveway. The neighbor was very mean and nasty even with an apology.

Very Nice!
The house photos do not do it justice. The home was extremely well decorated, very clean, and well located. Parking is tight for sure, but doable. Would definitely recommend.

House Review
We had a great time at this property. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the Kayaks. The riverside balcony was great for sitting and enjoying the evening looking over the river. The only issue we has was one of the ceiling fans on the back balcony did not seem to work.

We had a wonderful time for this year's July scalloping trip. It was just me and my two daughters and it was just what we needed. Thank you so much.

Wonderful holiday stay
My husband and I spent 5 days at this wonderful house on the river. It was clean, bed is comfortable, and kitchen fully stocked. The house is also thoughtfully decorated to make it feel like home. We tied our pontoon boat to the dock for a couple of days while we used it to take friends out, then switched it for our skiff to go fishing. The tides were really low, so we had to fender off the dock, but otherwise it was perfect. Our favorite part was watching the sunrise from the beautiful deck and seeing manatees and dolphins pass by. Our stay was truly a treat!
Kristin
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 1, 2025
From the owner: "Aren't the manatees and dolphins amazing? We really try to keep the kitchen well-stocked and the house comfortable, so thank you for that compliment! You are welcome to come back anytime!"
Very nice and clean home on the river in a great location. We took our boat as this neighborhood has a private boat launch and was very convenient. The driveway is large enough for a truck, trailer and an extra car. This is a bit tight with a truck/trailer to enter/back out due to the driveway across from their driveway having a car/boat trailer parked directly behind it. Not a deal breaker but it takes a bit of maneuvering to get it in and out. All and all great location and great stay.

Gorgeous Home & Perfect Location
This home was absolutely perfect for our Spring Break stay. The home itself is beautiful and has everything you need to feel right at home. The beds were incredibly comfortable which is hard to find in a rental. Furniture was in good condition and the home had cute decor.
The dock and kayak launch on property were amazing! There are kayaks on-site and they are in excellent shape. The location on the river is great - just a short paddle to the springs and to Crumps Landing (highly recommend). We fished right off the dock and caught a lot of catfish. We also spotted manatees, bald eagles and were surprised with a dolphin visit on our last night. Highly recommend sitting on the dock after dark and listening to fish jump and nighttime creatures.
Check-in and communication from rental agency was a breeze.
If you love nature and are looking for a relaxing stay, this is the place to be!
Five Stars aren't enough to rate this outstanding property. The photos only hint at the well maintained and inspired, inspiring decor. The view shows you what Florida is all about. Sitting on the balcony, seeing dolphin, wood ducks, bluebirds. Fishing from the dock, catching gafftopsail catfish(a salt-water species), kayaking. Great restaurants and watering holes like Crumps Landing and The Freezer just minutes away.After sundown, we had a Great-horned owl "whooing" to us. The beds were so comfy, we overslept!It was really hard to leave "Casa Del Rio". Thank you for sharing it with us.Five stars!
