We come to Homosassa normally at least twice a year, I think this is our favorite house that we’ve rented! Everything looks just like the photos. The house was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and we loved the large kitchen. The dock had plenty of space for two boats. It is very close to the springs. The house had everything we needed & also had an ice machine that was very convenient, we would definitely stay again!

Perfect vacation

We absolutely loved this home & it’s location. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (3 of which were teenagers) & plenty of things to entertain us. From playing pool/ping pong, kayaking or just sitting on the back porch watching the fish jump, it was perfect. Erin was extremely easy to communicate with & the home had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous Home

This comfortable home was perfect for our Labor Day weekend getaway. We spent a lot of time on the spacious outdoor patio and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for simple meals. Erin was easy to work with and a great communicator. Definitely considering this property for our next trip to Homosassa.

Beautiful house with great amenities

Our first family visit to Homosassa and we could not have picked a better place. The house is beautiful and in excellent condition. It has a great screened in patio with a dock on a quiet canal just two minutes away from Homosassa Spring. Other amenities included an ice machine, kayaks, floats for the river, pool table and even games for the kids. I would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful home

We had a great stay at the house. We were able to launch our kayaks right there and the screened in patio is where we hung out the most. Erin dropped off a basket of goodies for us which was a nice touch. We would definitely stay there again. There were several nice restaurants just right down the street and the neighborhood was very quiet. There’s a short kayak ride to the park where you can see the manatee and plenty of turtles. Thanks for the great stay.

Homosassa getaway

Great stay in Homosassa for a weekend getaway with our friends. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen fully stocked including spices. There were several amenities that we did not have the time to take advantage of, but we did appreciate and use the ice machine to fill our cooler. We brought our pontoon boat and there was easy access to a well maintained dock in the back yard. Also easy communication with the host! We hope to stay here again!

2nd Year in a Row - Hope to Have the Place Again Next Year

I’ve stayed in several properties over the better part of the past decade for scalloping season; this place was the first that my family and I used twice, and consecutively at that. The property has great amenities and the owner takes care to consider the smallest of details for an easy stay, such as an abundance of towels, kitchenware, shower and toiletry items, etc. This all makes for a great place in and of itself, but for me, the best aspect is that it’s perfectly situated for simple boat access to/from the river and Gulf; additionally, the place is outfitted nicely for other river fun with kayaks and paddle boards. We had another great family trip this year and we hope to have the chance to stay here again next year.

Amazing

We booked a girls trip to (hopefully) paddle to see manatees. It was cold and nonstop drizzling rain the first two days there, but the house was so nice for just hanging out and chatting we didn't even mind the rain that much. The outside/covered porch area is so spacious, the pool table/ping pong is fun, and the seating is super comfortable. The best part of the house is that the beds were actually comfortable! This is my 5th visit to the area, and the first house with comfortable beds. The location cannot be beat. It's a very short paddle to the state park. We saw dozens and dozens of manatees. If I had any complaint at all it would be that the stove and oven are not super intuitive to work.

Amazing Property

All I can say is WOW!! This property is EXACTLY as advertised. We have stayed in Homosassa every year for 7 years. This home is by far the absolute best. The layout is perfect for families or just a group of friends. Spacious, up to date, extremely clean and EVERYTHING works!!! There’s a pool table, ping pong table, TV’s in every room, floats for the springs, life jackets, a kids pool, toys and even a working ice maker to make it easy to load your coolers. The back screened patio is very spacious with comfortable patio couches and chairs with ottomans. Communication with Erin, the owner was fantastic from start to finish. We are already booking this home next scallop season. 10 Stars!!!!! I highly recommend this place.

I stay in VRBOs all over the world, and I can honestly say this is my absolute favorite. The location is unbeatable—within five minutes of anywhere you’d want to go in Homosassa. It’s a true waterfront home, and the canal opens directly into the spring area, making it perfect for a refreshing swim in the summer and incredible manatee sightings in the winter.The property itself is in pristine condition. The home has a beautiful open-concept layout that was ideal for entertaining family and friends over the holidays. It’s richly and thoughtfully decorated, with top-notch furnishings and a very well-designed layout. Not only did I love it, but every single person who visited commented on how amazing it was.The garage rec room was a huge hit—complete with a pool table and ping pong table that everyone enjoyed. For me, though, the most spectacular feature was the screened-in veranda. It’s spacious, beautifully furnished, and so comfortable. The backyard is stunning and opens right up to the dock area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. There’s even an orange tree on the property, which was such a lovely touch.The home also offers six high-quality kayaks, including tandems. Several of my guests enjoyed paddling out to the springs, which made the stay even more memorable.The host was incredibly kind, helpful, and highly communicative throughout our stay. I truly adored this place and loved every moment here. I will absolutely be back again.
