"The Three-Hour Tour"

Looking for an escape? Take a 3-hour tour and plan to "get lost" in the heart of Homosassa Springs! This unique location has frontage on the Homosassa River and on a canal. 4000+ sq ft, of ground-level home with a heated pool, docking for multiple boats, trailer parking...and it's all in the heart of the crystal clear springs, on the Homosassa River. This sprawling home has just gone through renovation and has been stocked with all new furnishings and fun toys!

A note from the owner:
Thanks for considering being our guests. Part of our joy in being stewards of this fun property is sharing it with others. To ensure that we may continue to do so, I’ll offer a few thoughts on our expectations. Before booking, please be sure you’re in absolute agreement with what follows. I don’t want your deposit – only peace. We like our neighbors and they like us, and I have zero patience for anyone upsetting that balance. These policies exist to ensure that we can share this house with good folks like you for as long as we’d like. Please make sure your guests know the expectations, too. Fun is absolutely encouraged - abuse of our neighbors and/or the property is not allowed.
1. Please limit gatherings to our thoughtful occupancy limits. If you’re looking for a place to party, look elsewhere. This property is NOT AN EVENT SPACE.
2. This is a smoke-free property. No smoking inside or outside.
3. Wrap up your outdoor noise by 10pm. Make sure it happens. Outdoors, after 10PM, no loud music, no obnoxious shouting, no drunk-laughing, and no fireworks.
4. We provide a heated pool, 4 kayaks and 2 paddleboards, a dock, a fire pit and a lovely house. Please care for them like they’re your own. We understand things get worn when used, but please don’t abuse.

More details about the property:
There's enough room for 14 castaways, with 6 bedrooms, 2 full and 3 half baths and an outdoor.

Master bedroom - 1 king bed with full bathroom.

2nd bedroom- 1 king bed

3rd bedroom - 1 king bed

4th bedroom- 1 queen bed with half bathroom

Bunks - 2 twin over twin bunks (sleeps 4)

Bonus bed - 1 twin over futon bunk

While you're outside, take the kayaks or paddle boards to explore the river and Homosassa Springs – the crystal clear water will give you a great view of the marine life below. Feeling fat? Watching manatees from our dock works wonders for your self-image. You'll also see fishes, rays, otters and crabs. Or take a dip in the screened-in, heated pool. Cook for the entire crew with the propane grill and big Blackstone griddle outside. Enjoy your coffee on the back patio. Cruise to the Gulf - no bridges to clear. And there are lots of fun waterfront restaurants for boating destinations.

Spread out inside--there's enough space to make memories playing ping-pong or foosball. Relax in with a view in the river-level living room. Prepare a meal in the bright kitchen and eat together in the large dining room. Later, everyone can retreat to their own private bunk.

Enjoy this home base for scalloping, birding, fishing, or to swim with the manatees! While you won't be shipwrecked on a deserted isle, we hope you'll enjoy time away from your regular day-to-day.

Thanks for looking!
