Beautiful retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. House was a great getaway for our family and we loved the heated pool and kayaks! We cooked dinner on the grill and overall had a great time relaxing at the house. It was centrally located to our local activities and check-in was very smooth. I’m glad we brought some of our own towels for the pool but otherwise the house had everything we needed.

This property was everything we hoped it would be. The house was so comfy, clean and in an awesome location. My youngest son fished the entire time and is already asking when we are going back. Thanks for providing a great house filled with amenities.

Peaceful and Well Appointed

Quiet location with a surprising amount of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. Could choose between deck, screened in patio, pool, or comfortable living room when not out hiking, kayaking, or exploring. Beds and baths newer and nicer than many rental properties.

Peaceful, nature retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful, spotless and we'll stocked with everything we needed!! We loved having the bikes to explore and used the tandem kayak almost daily. The heated pool was a definite plus as well. Sitting on the deck was so relaxing and peaceful. Loved the sounds of nature and the bird visitors. We cannot wait to return!!!

R&R at it's Finest

Absolutely beautiful location, spacious and airy with gorgeous viws but not too big. Just the right size with lots of outdoor area to rest, relax and swim. Perfectly appointed and well thought out. We enjoyed breakfast on the breezy deck while watching manatees float by. Everyone we met was super friendly, including the Great Blue Heron that came by several times to see what we were up too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Home

If you plan on traveling to Homossassa, this house has it all. Three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, open living area with a fully furnished kitchen, heated pool, a dock in the back big enough to fit my 24 foot boat and plenty of parking for our truck and trailer. The house was immaculately clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back!

Amazing home on the river

This home is one of the best we have stayed at. It is super comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms and I can't say enough about the outside. We had a great stay and will be back the next time we come to see our family. If I had to pick one item to improve it would be an easier way to get into the kayaks. Other than that it is a 5 star from our family.

Amazing outdoor space

The pictures do not do this place justice! It feels much larger than it is. There’s ton of seating and the big sliding glass doors allow you to blend the inside with the out. The screened porch is lovely and the deck/dock is really cool. The pool stayed a perfect temperature to comfortably swim. Fishing off the dock was great for the kids. We also enjoyed the kayaks that were at the property. Great, well stocked, clean house with great amenities. Highly recommend.

3rd time's a charm!

Our third time at this home was the best yet. Since the renovations and addition of a bedroom and 2 bathrooms, this is a true family getaway spot. 2 king beds and a queen allow for 6 adults to sleep comfortably. Comfortable furniture and a well-appointed kitchen make it easy to relax and prepare meals (if you choose). The house location with deck and boat dock is situated in the ideal place for trips up or down river. Pleasant boat rides to the springs, gulf, or nearby restaurants are easy as you're steps away from the dock. Have your morning coffee on the lanai or deck or take a swim in the pool. Hopefully, the the third trip wont be our last to Otter Slide.

Love the location the house is perfect. The only thing we had no heat and it was very cold in the morning the thermostat was not working. It was disconnected from the heating unit and the pool was not heated as it stated in the description. One bedroom was missing a TV and also one of the master room mattresses was so uncomfortable. I went out and bought a mattress firm cover to get a good nights sleep. Other than that I would definitely book the house for next year.

AMAZING!!! A++++ Great Location, Clean House & SO MUCH FUN!!

Surprised boys for Christmas with trip!! Family of four (11 yr old & 4 yr old) and we NEVER wanted to leave.... the house was clean, pool was awesome, kayaks were amazing and the view from "my deck" was so relaxing & awesome!!!! Mel (owner) was amazing and fun - we never got to meet personally but I felt like I knew her - as her interaction and response via text was prompt and awesome!!! While in Homosassa - what do you want to do?? This place offers you to be low key or on the go - it meets all your needs. And, while we were here for 10 day, we did both.... This location is one that absolutely allows you some R&R and avoid the "tourist hustle". We went all over (Neon Leon's, Mac Rae's, Monkey Bar, The Freezer, The Starting Gate, Riverside Crab House and so much more) and we also bought local food and grilled on the AWESOME deck at home. Hidden gem that you should take the short drive to - Peck's Old Port Cove Seafood Restaurant (don't turn around, keep driving to it). Captain Don ROCKS!!! If you are considering chartered fishing, Flats Chance is a MUST!! He was honest, telling us that it was going to be a "rough & tough" day due to colder weather.... and, he kept at it until we "found the sweet spot" to allow the boys to catch some awesome RED FISH (we grilled it up at night - yummy!). He was more focused on making sure we were happy and trying to find that fishing hole vs. worrying about the hours on the clock. He's GREAT!!! We did so much more then I can list - but if you stumble across this listing, BOOK NOW (you won't regret it)!!!
