Our vacation plans were ruined by a hurricane that came through the day we were supposed to be checking in. Once the host and our family found out about the track of the hurricane and it’s expected point of landfall and day it would hit, the host reached out and was in constant communication before, during, and after the storm. I cannot express how impressed I am with his communication and friendliness! Will definitely rent again!!! Excellent host!!!
We spent our winter in this delightful house and loved it so much we hope to be here next year! - Owners were the best landlords we’ve ever had. They let us know whenever a maintenance crew would be on the property, communicated any information we needed and always responded immediately to our needs. Very nice, cordial people, a pleasure to do business with.- This is a great house - we came to relax and kick back for the winter and the house had everything we needed: a great waterfront, quiet neighborhood, comfy furniture and excellent beds! It was a breeze to keep clean, all supplies provided. - The house is in the golf cart community area of Homosassa so we made great use of our golf cart to go everywhere, just loved it!I can’t say enough good things about the house and our winter season here. Thanks for sharing your perfect getaway place, Ashley and Jay!!
Fantastic home in fantastic location. Inside, the home is good size, very comfortable and well appointed. If it were just that, we’d still love to return… but who wants to sit inside with the natural beauty available right outside? Take advantage of morning or evening (or midday) serenity on the large deck overlooking a gorgeous bend in the creek. If peaceful appreciation of nature is your thing, bird watching and the occasional dolphin and manatee provide the perfect backdrop. Go for a bike ride or get on the water on paddle boards or your own boat sitting on the available boat lift. We weren’t familiar with Homosassa before this visit, but it’s definitely high on our list now. Great food, active small town bar scene and good people all around. Thanks Jay and Ashley!
We have been coming to Homossassa for 23 years. we found this listing and decided to give it a try. Location was amazing and the neighbors were wonderful. we had everything we needed and felt at home. Jay was a great host. We went out on the water scalloping every day except one because of rain but the house was a great day to rest and unwind. And yes we found the scallops, Jay was a big help with that also. Manatee’s, Dolphins and even a gator in the canal. So peaceful and close to town and the restaurants on the river. We definitely will book again ♥️. Love that the ride to the springs is now a quiet area, it lets you experience old florida and the beautiful homes on the river.
The property was very well maintained and great to stay at
Looking forward to coming back
Great access to the river and all things you can do by boat
Dock is in great shape and could not have had a better stay anywhere else
This was our 2nd “snowbirding” stay at the River Reach! The location is great, especially if you have your own boat. It’s just minutes away from the Freezer, 10 minutes via boat to MacRae’s, Crumps and the Monkey Bar. The furniture, inside and out, is super comfy. We love that it’s spacious, light and airy inside. The owner Jay is great to work with, and the neighbors are friendly and welcoming. We look forward to renting again next year!
The house is pretty with direct access to water. Owner provided everything we needed. There are plenty of restaurants accessible by water. We enjoyed the paddle boards and did a lot of paddling around the local waters.
The only issue we had was finding the house. There is not a number on the house and the key box was hard to find. The owner answered the phone immediately and assisted us though.
This rental was awesome - the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s in a great location on the canal close to the “Freezer” restaurant, Crumps Landing and MacRaes. It’s an easy trek out to the gulf of MX from there, as well as to the headwaters. The boat lift was a definite bonus to have. The view from the 2nd floor of the sunrise in the morning through the palm trees was so nice. Super comfy King bed, nice furniture and tastefully decorated. Owners were great and quickly addressed questions and some minor issues we encountered. Looking forward to returning next year!
