Holiday rentals near Johnson Pond Trailhead

Taylor and Debs house was brilliant. All the fixtures and appliances are high end and the beds and sofas are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you need and the showers are powerful and hot with loads of hotel quality towels. The best thing however is its location on an inlet right off the bay. Sitting on the deck is delightful and we saw a manatee there when we first arrived. The kayaks that were provided are great and it’s an amazing experience to paddle over to the 3 sisters springs where the manatees are amassed. The fire pit was also a lovely addition. We went on a trip to snorkel with manatees which is an absolute must and a truly amazing experience. We had a wonderful trip.

We had a great 2 night stay in the cottage. Its a good size and everything was provided to be self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to see a manatee, otter, lots of turtles including a snapping turtle and catch lots of fish. Grocery stores and eateries a short drive away.

Ideal property for family holidays. Fully equipped with everything you could need. Great pool. Supermarket and restaurants just a short ride away. Chris the property host was very helpful. We loved our visit to Homosassa Springs to see the Manatees and a Backcountry air boat ride to see dolphins. Perfect!

Dana runs a great experience at a wonderful peaceful soul renewing property. Love this place and already booked ahead! The river is awesome!

Firstly, the photos do not do this property justice. The house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac a few streets from the main road, but just a few minutes drive from supermarket, gas station and food outlets, and also the historic centre of town. It is on the bank of the Rainbow River at a spot where it widens, giving the impression of a lake. Every day we watched fish, water birds and even an otter from the deck. We used the house canoes and cycles. The river was perfect for us novice boaters! The house was very clean and tidy, and well equipped. There is a breakfast room where you can eat and watch the river just yards away. There are plenty of outdoor activities to do in this area, and Crystal River is worth a visit (20 minutes). There is a local housekeeper who met us there and we had good communication with the owners. We had no problems with the refunding of our security deposit either. This property was pretty much perfect for our trip, and not only would I stay there again, I would live there if I could - it was just that good. I highly recommend this property for a quiet or active stay - and there is loads of room for a big group.
