Awesome Place
This was an awesome easy relaxing little place to stay on the canal of Homosassa River! We enjoyed the home amenities and took a stroll on the kayak and paddle board with the pups... Very relaxing and convenient to many restaurants!

Wonderful little getaway in Homosassa, FL
The check in process was a breeze. The place was super clean and spacious. My dogs enjoyed playing ball in the yard and chasing lizards. Plenty of room inside the fence to park the boat trailer. Very quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything.

Our dogs were most excited being able to come along and having an entire fenced yard to roam free. The house is small and cozy (could use some decorating updates), but otherwise great. It was clean and perfect location!

Homasassa canal house
What a wonderful getaway! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this comfortable canal home. With a beautiful weekend of weather, we saw dolphins and herons, egrets and otters in the surrounding waters we loved our stay. This home with a fully fenced yard was perfect for our pets. The kitchen is nicely equipped and we cooked everyday. The beds are comfy, the AC is cold and neighbors are friendly. Homasassa is a great Old Florida town with tons of fun things to do! Homeowner had good communication and extremely nice and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again.

Homosassa retreat
Staying in old Homosassa was the best decision we could have made. It was so quaint and homey. The property and location was superb. Being on the canal was very relaxing. The neighbors were so inviting and friendly. The only complaint we would have had was that the Wifi was sketchy which we realize is totally out of Jay's control as this seems to be a Homosassa issue. We will definitely be back 😊

I want to retire here 💙
This is the perfect spot. We go on 2 vacations a year and this was the overall favorite of mine. It was clean and had the best cooking items than any place we have ever rented. The backyard is perfect. I recommend not to try to go out from the dock at low tide. You really can't see the oyster beds no matter how slow ya go or hard you look. We did catch plenty of baby mangrove snapper, baby speckled trout, and catfish off the dock. I'm sure we will return.

Great get away
We had a great time in Homosassa. This house was honestly more than I expected. The owners have done a great job of having things on hand at the house that you would not think about until needed, like a first aid kit. The kids did a little fishing off the deck but did not have much luck. We will probably be back.

Will stay here again
The property was great for my kids and dog. The house was a perfect size for us as well. The location is great. My son and his best friend were on the dock every single day. It was great being able to have our boat at the dock as well. However if someone who is unfamiliar with the waters in that area they could hit oyster beds. Luckily my husband and I frequent homosassa so we were able to avoid them. I will definitely look for this house the next time I want to rent one in Homosassa!

Great Week on the River
The property was exactly what was expected. The location and amenities were just as presented and perfect for a couple with a boat that loves the River and the Gulf and access to both was easy. The boat ramp is close and easy to launch, and there is plenty of space to park the truck and trailer at the house. The fenced yard was perfect for having a pet and the community a great place to walk and jog.
