Vintage Old Florida Cottage on Dead Boat Cove, Boat and Pet friendly!

Tranquility awaits you at this vintage waterfront Florida lake house. Welcome to the Nature Coast of Florida! Set on a private cove off of a canal that leads to the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. Bring your fishing poles, kayaks, canoes, bass, pontoon, mud, or airboat. Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area (WMA) has 10,000 acres, with five miles of Withlacoochee River in southeastern Citrus County, 13 miles of trails for bicycling, and 16 miles of trails for hiking, and some of the best airboat trails anywhere. There is a community boat ramp at the end of your street (literally one house away), and we have a private floating dock to tie up, to so you don't have to pull you boat out nightly, and plenty of parking for a boat trailer.

Relax to the swaying of the Spanish moss draped trees. Listen to the soft sounds of the Corinthian chimes, either on the comfortable screened porch, on the floating dock, or around the fire pit on cooler evenings. Our yard is fenced and we welcome pets under 50 pounds. Please be sure to bring your bug spray or Therma Cell, especially in summer.

This is the perfect Central Floridia location with so many things to see and do. Inverness is 5 miles away, Crystal River and the manatees 30 minutes away, various springs, Ocala and the World Equestrian Center 40 minutes away. Orlando and Tampa just a little over an hour away.

Regardless if you are an avid sportsman, fisherman, or just need a place to get away and read a good book, this is it!

Our cottage offers one bedroom with a Queen size bed. The other bedroom has one King size bed that can be converted to a pair of XL twins. Please let us know in advance if we need to convert to twins. Both bedrooms have Fire Stick TV's.

The cottage does not have a proper living room, our screened porch has comfortable vintage rattan furniture. Our small but well equipped kitchen has a gas stove with oven, microwave, dishwasher, and various small appliances (coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster, espresso maker, hand held mixer, crock pot). We also have a Seagull water purifier with separate tap at the sink. There is a charcoal grill just off the screened porch. The dining room has a table that seats 6 plus. The bathroom has a tub with shower.

There is an iron and ironing board in the bedroom closet, and washer dryer in the utility room.

We do live on the property and have a small cottage and workshop behind the house. We respect the privacy of ours guests, and will not interact unless our guests engage or if you need assistance.
