OLD HOMOSASSA - This three bedroom, two bath waterfront stilt home, in a GOLF CART community, is midway between the blue waters of the head springs and the Gulf of Mexico, at the beginning of the "fast zone" to the Gulf. Hop in your boat - it's a fast trip down river to the Gulf (about 15 minutes). Or, go up river, a leisurely trip to six waterfront restaurants/bars, many with live entertainment, as well as to the "blue water" at the head springs of the Homosassa River. Rent a golf cart and cruise to 8 restaurants and bars. The Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is less than three miles away, and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, home of the mermaids, is about 30 minutes' drive. The gated yard has all the amenities you could ask for, including 300' of waterfront with unmatched views and sunsets. Enjoy a day of scalloping and come home for a nice cool dip in the above ground pool. Plenty of outdoor dining options, and even a fire pit. Launch your boat at a nearby boat ramp, and tie your boat up in protected waters on the sea wall, away from the main river traffic. Minimum 7 night stay- Saturday to Saturday.
