During your stay, on-site activities include bass fishing, kayaking and canoeing, and swimming in freshwater springs, so you won't have to travel far for a little adventure.

Serenity by the Water

This is a lovely property. We enjoyed the cabins furnishings in a wood and iron theme. It has everything you need for preparing meals in the kitchen. We only used the queen bed which was very comfortable. My husband fished at the dock and we took a trip to Crystal Springs to see the Manatees. We would stay here again.

Birthday getaway

This trip was my birthday getaway and we enjoyed every bit of it!! The house was cozy and comfortable with everything we needed. Being able to sit on the dock and watch the water and the fish was very relaxing. The location was great. We traveled to Crystal River and Homosassa with ease. Booking was easy! We would recommend this fish camp!!

Our stay was wonderful! The first hour, we saw 3 manatees right at the dock. The house is very comfortable. AC works great! The back porch is serene. Nancy was very helpful, and gracious over a hiccup (my fault) in our reservation.

February Break Manatee trip

We loved the little house. It was conveniently located to Crystal River, where we paddled with manatees. We forgot our paddle board pump and were so excited to see that there was one at the home. We loved fishing off the pier, although we didn't catch anything. Our kids and their Barbies enjoyed the screened-in porch and my husband was happy to see the brand new girll!

some good some bad

Third party booking agent didn't sent check in info. Was able to eventually resolve after much effort. Location hard to find, address not well marked and three houses on property. No response to texts or a call to management so I went online to compare the photo to see where to go. The actual cabin was very nice, clean, for the most part nice décor. Two chairs in front of TV had badly torn upholstery but I put a sheet over it. The large screened in porch overlooking large oaks and the river was great. That porch was perfect. There were nice details like kitchen supplies, (but no ice maker) hair drier, bug repellant, board games etc. But the attentions to those details stands out incongruously with two main things. No screens on any of the windows, so after closing the porch off for the night there was no way to enjoy the perfect fresh air and weather. And you have to hunt to turn the hot water on! The note (that I didn't see at first) on side of fridge says turn the hot water on behind the stove. Nope, nothing behind the stove. Info is only in the notebook. The switch is in the hallway that is next to the stove but it is also hidden behind a picture. So strange that they cannot turn this on before you arrive. Management did not respond to several texts messages during my stay. But the main reason I would not return is the bed was horrible. I honestly had the worst night's sleep that I have ever had in my entire life. You could not pay me to sleep in that bed again.

Just OK

No bedroom windows open. Kitchen/living room windows not meant to open either, difficult to have fresh air in the house. House has dark floors, furniture, ceilings & black kitchen counters so needed to use bright overhead lights. Bathroom is small and dated but functional. Light bulb in the hood over stove was burned out, no spare. I replaced it myself. Plastic kitchen garbage container had no lid or top. W/o fresh air it’s noticeable. To me, these issues are due to inattentive property manager. Hot water temperature likely set at bare minimum of 120º so hard to wash dishes. 140º is recommended temp. Most cooking pans were worn out, non-stick pans and pretty scratched up. No working can opener. Propane tank for outdoor grill was empty upon arrival. Had to email prop manager, she sent someone over to swap it out. Should have already been done. Upon arrival for three-week stay the lawn was not mowed w/ scattered tree debris and shin high weeds. A week later someone mowed & cleaned up. No additional lawn care after that, weeds back to shin high when I left. Timing was off for my stay. Extremely difficult to launch a canoe or kayak from the property as the river bank is high, steep and made of rocks. I had to drive my canoe to local boat ramps for launch sites. The dock is basic, a fixed platform over the water. The porch had new Weber grill that was nice though the grease pan was near full. Prop manager never emailed, texted or checked to see how things were.

Great place

We had a great time at this little cabin. It was about 40* in Inglis when we arrived and the little portable couldn’t keep up with the Florida winter. We managed just fine! There were plenty of extra blankets to keep us warm. Well stocked home, close to convenient stores.

Cute Cottage with almost everything you need.

The cottage is small but thoughtfully furnished to make the most of the space. The screened in porch is where we spent most of our time. There is a house instruction sheet just inside the front door. We did not read it until we found there was no hot water. The breaker is kept off while not in use. (It's behind the picture by the stove) We really enjoyed our stay.
