Perfect in every way

Our stay could not have been any better. The home was clean and cozy. The owners were very responsive. Aside from the perfect location and super clean home the ice machine was the greatest thing! Not having to lug bags of ice made it so easy to just add ice to the cooler on the boat. Having a washer and dryer was another attribute. Fish cleaning station was nice also for the many fish caught and cleaned. Nothing negative pops into my mind except we had to go home and back to work 😂.

Great Place for Family Fun

We travel to this area 3-4 times a year and have stayed in many areas and many homes over the last 10 yrs. The house has a great layout and very clean. Beds are comfortable and plenty of parking. 3 kayaks and a lifejacket. We unfortunately didn't get to use them this trip due to the rain. You will need to bring blow dryer, kc cups for coffee, and soaps. We did purchase 2 fishing poles from the local walmart and left them for future renters. All in all would rent this unit again. Thanks,

Homosassa Stilt House

The house was nice but we had two major issues: We had our mail forwarded to the house address but the house had no mailbox so our mail was returned. We changed the forwarding to General Delivery but in the process we lost some packages and crucial mail. We should have been advised of this issue in advance. The street in front of our rental property has big potholes plus a big drainage problem and when it rains, a hugh puddle forms hiding the potholes. Car and tires picked up a lot of mud. Also to call it a "river house" is misleading because the house is on a canal with river access. The river photo is deceptive.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Apr 2020
Peter & Jackie, we are sorry you feel that way about your stay with us. No we don't have a mailbox at the home because it is a rental house, if you guys would have asked me before your visit I could have let you know this but I did direct you to the local post office and whom to speak with about getting a PO Box once you checked in. Yes there is a pot hole in the road but like I told you when you checked in, the road is a private owned road and they are going to be putting a new sewer line down our road this year and once that is done the road will be repaired, we also have a neighbor building a house and the big trucks coming in and out hasn't helped. Yes our house is on a canal and you can see that in the picture of our boat dock as well as by looking at the map. Everyone there in Old Homosassa calls their homes a River House, which our home is 3 blocks from the river. After you guys booked you asked to extend your stay through the first few days of April so your family could come down, I could have charged you the price for April but I was generous and charged you the Winter rate, thought we were pretty fair to you guys.

Favorite scallop

We go scalloping every summer for a week and have done so for the last 12 or more years. We have always settled on Homosassa on all the communities that we have scalloped up. This particular house has been our favorite so far. We plan on renting here again in the future. The icemaker is absolutely fantastic to have. The ease of getting out to the main waterway was great. The boat launch was very convenient. The cookware was fantastic as I do a lot of cooking on our vacations. I was very appreciative of the great cookware

We have been coming to Homosassa for years and recently been given the opportunity to purchase a home there. We are about 45 minutes away from the river and couldn't ask for a better location to buy or spend good quality family time..
