Exceptional Property and Host

We have stayed at this property a few times and enjoy the proximity to the water for our boat outings as well as the how close it is to our favorite local bars. The host are very responsive to any questions and requests which is admirable and I highly recommend this property to other guests.

The house is nice and comfortable! We enjoyed our relaxing visit and great communication with owners. It is in a quiet area with good restaurants and an amazing ice cream stand nearby. As recommended by the host, we took an airboat tour with River Safari’s and had an amazing time!

Best stay in Homosassa

Second time staying, we enjoy the peacefulness of the property with close proximity to all the bars and restaurants! Well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and the garage game room is a fun addition, especially when it’s raining. Safe and quiet environment with short drive to the Freeze and MacRae’s - Perfect place to stay in Homosassa!

Would Recommend

First time to Homosassa and we absolutely loved the location of the house. It was close to really great food, local shops, and easy to get to. The couch is miserable, but they said they'll probably replace it so shouldn't be a future problem. The bar in the game room was a great home office... fresh air, nice view, lots of space to spread out. The place is worth a stay.

Up the Creek In A Good Way!

Spent three nights here and the house was very clean and in a great area of Old Homosassa. We had a blast checking out the area with the highlight being the manatees in the State park.
