Great house!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great location and space

The location can’t be beat! Within a short walk of historical landmarks, restaurants and the water. The unit is well stocked with plenty of bath towels, linens and kitchen supplies. The beds were incredibly comfortable as well. We had a lot of fun in the game room which also has a big fan and kept the space cool! The owners are very welcoming and responsive! Overall a great trip made better by this great VRBO!

Wonderful place

The home is absolutely beautiful and so convenient to everything we wanted to do!! The area around the home was quiet and perfect for relaxing. Great space below for fun and games, ping-pong, jenga, etc. Would definitely stay again when homosassa. BONUS: We weren't expecting it and were happily surprised to find the owners had provided paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher pods, trash bags, Linens/sheets bath towels, seasonings, spices, salt, pepper etc. They even provided detergent and dryer sheets for the On-site Washer and dryer. We really appreciated not having to inflate our vacation grocery bill purchasing these items. Additionally there were complimentary streaming services and internet as well.(Netflix and hulu).
