This property is on a quiet street and is located in the center between Crystal River and Homosassa River. It was easy to get around to a lot of the springs as well as the boat landings.The large fenced back yard was great for our dog Sailor.

This was my 2nd visit to Hippo House and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Everything was neat, clean and organized. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals and enjoy a comfortable stay. My dog really enjoys the backyard, nice and spacious. Conveniently located between Crystal River and Homosassa, it was easy to get wherever we needed to go.

We stayed at Hippohead in between selling and buying our homes with our furbabies and it was a perfect little place with a fenced in back yard to call home for 3 weeks. Hippohead is close to all the amenities but yet you feel secluded and the home is stocked with everything you need. If you want a place you can vacation or stay with you furry family members than Hippohead Casita is the place

Hosts were wonderful and accommodating. Place was clean and basic kitchen needs were provided. They offered their kayaks to use which was very nice. Beds were very comfortable and the outside yard was great for my fur babies.

Clean and cosy and well stocked with basic necessities. The fact that they welcomed our dog and two cats made it perfect. A great fenced back yard for our dog to explore while we sat out in the evening. Oh and great artwork!!!
