A great place to stay
My fiancé, two pups, and I stayed here for a couple of days. We had a great time and the property was clean and even had a fenced in backyard that my dogs loved. Neil was so nice and introduced us to his son’s food truck that was out of this world and just a short walk away from the home. We would definitely stay here again!

Exactly what we needed
This is a simple, clean and perfectly located rental. It has everything you need to be able to put all your worries away and just relax. It is a manufactured home with some age on it but if you aren't worried about newness but value clean and safe this is for you. Neil was very nice and helpful. The deck and screened porch was heaven. Sitting in the sun with Florida nature, right there! The mudic from next door wasn’t too bad. I wasn't expecting it on Wednesdays but we just went with the flow. The bar is a local spot with nice people and good music. Don't miss the Smash burgers at the corner! Simple, not fancy just comfortable and clean so you can relax. Perfect.

Just returned home from a 7 night stay at Camp 1. Trailer was as advertised - very clean, rustic setting. Comfortable, the deck was awesome. Everything you need for your stay is there. The owner was super friendly and available. Would stay again. Reasonable price wise.

Little piece of Heaven
Most relaxing and stress free vacation I ever had. As the listing states it is a camp. Nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. Sitting on the back deck drinking my coffee was like my little piece of heaven. Neil was the GREATEST host!! I go to Fl. at least 2x a year and have stayed numerous places BUT now I have found my home away from home! Definitely recommend Neil's camp for a great get away.

Cute place in great location
Overall, this place was a great place to stay. Everything worked although outdated. The only thing I would recommend is a larger hot water tank. My now husband and I stayed there with his two teenage daughters and the hot water ran out after a short shower. All of us trying to get ready for the wedding there just wasn't possible. Otherwise, it was a nice place and we would stay again

Very Comfortable
Older, very well maintained trailer. The backyard to canal is very nice. They keep it very clean. It is a place to come, kick off your shoes and relax.. until the music starts from bar next door. The music is good with very good bands. We even went out on the deck for some of it. It is loud. Thankfully, it ends around 10:00 pm, then peace and quiet. Very friendly people that own it. Very helpful. Great value. Enjoyed our stay there even though we were in town for a family member's memorial service. This is our second time to stay here and we will stay here again.

Good stay with a few wonderings
The unit was older, but extremely clean and comfortable. Proximity to local boat ramps was excellent. All communication with the owner about accessibility of the unit due to the recent storm was very pleasant. Unfortunately, we found the property's dock to be inaccessible by boat. That may have been due to the recent storm, we are not sure. Locals did indicate that the canal the dock was on was narrow and shallow with trees blocking it in places. We also did not understand the locked and inaccessible doors that we found within the unit upon our arrival, or that the outdoor electrical outlets seemed to be without power for charging our boat batteries. Lastly, we were left curious by the vehicle that quietly arrived late each evening of our stay and remained in the unit’s parking area overnight. Aside from these things that left us wondering, our overall stay was good.

Great for Fishing. Be prepared for noise.
My father and I stayed for 4 nights. Neil communicated well and was very accommodating. The one thing that was a surprise was that the Trailer was located next door to a loud Karaoke bar. The music and singing could be heard up until 10 pm. After that we were able to go to sleep. The property was beautiful and big. The porch was perfect and boat parking was awesome. The beds were comfortable and everything functioned well in the trailer. We would stay again but bring earplugs the next time.

Relaxing stay
This older trailer is very roomy, comfortable & close to many area attractions, shopping & restaurants. Neil was available to answer any questions & tell us where to explore. When not out & about we enjoyed walking, biking & sitting on the back porch watching salamanders, Osprey & other birds & reading. We will definitely be back in the future.

We rented this property for a month while looking for a place to buy. The house is in walking distance of a couple of restaurants. We were busy looking for a house so we did not have time to enjoy the water access that the house offered but our dog did enjoy running around the large fenced yard. Neil, the owner was very helpful with local information.

The stay was nice, an older mobile home but was clean and cozy
Neil called to let me know everything was ready and if I had problems he was only 20 minutes away. The Wi-Fi was a little weak in the area but we were still able to enjoy a good movie in the evening. The only thing I could suggest is to maybe put a anti slip mat in the shower, it was a bit slippery.

Very Cozy, EXCEPTIONAL HOST!
This was our first experience and our first stay in Homosassa, Florida! This rental was very cozy! The decor in the home made it very comfy and it felt like home! Neil and Lisa were phenomenal hosts from check in to even after we checked out. The back yard is huge, the porch and sitting areas they have provided made any room you sat in outside, very comfy! The King bed in the main bedroom was super comfortable, I couldn't figure out if I wanted to stay in bed....or venture out to do what we came to do! Thank you Neil and Lisa for providing us with a comfortable place to stay while on vacation. We will be back to visit your cozy rental for sure!

My family loved it. Very comfortable plenty of room. Very relaxing. My son loved his room on the opposite side of home with his own bathroom. My husband and I enjoyed the deck on the side of our room. It was great to have plenty places to sit. The kitchen was hooked up. Which was a delight.

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was clean. The backyard was huge! It is right behind (stumbling distance) from old mill bar and grill which we loved. You could hear the live music from the screened in porch. I could see how that might be a turn off for some but we really enjoyed it. Communication with Captain Lisa was easy with quick responses. We would definitely stay there again!! Thanks Captain Lisa!

Christopher K., champions gate, Florida

Less than it was supposed to have been.
The cleaners were still "cleaning" until a little after 4 on our day of check-in. (That was supposed to be at 2). The dock is useless. There is a bolder protruding out from below the dock. Making stowing a boat there impossible. The owner acted as though this was something that just happened. We opted to vacate the premises the day after our check in due to a hurricane. We were refunded 1 night out of our 5 night stay. The lawn crew showed up just before we vacated the premises. It was nice, he (singular person) pelted my brand new truck with the sticks, and whatever else he continually ran over with his mower. (No fault of ownership). We did, as requested, start the bedding, washed all dishes and vacuumed the residence prior to our departure.

We don’t recall the cleaners being late, so I apologize for that. We have personally kept a boat on the dock several times, and have never had an issue with the rock that’s there, no past guests have had a problem docking either. The lawn maintenance is on a schedule, and if the grass needs cut more often, we call them, of course. If you had let me know about your car being “pelted”, I would have taken care of it at that time. We do not ask that our guests vacuum, but thanks for doing it. We also did not realize that you left on the second day of your stay due to the impending hurricane, however, we will be happy to refund the other days. Captains Traci & Laci

What a treasure!
I had no idea about Homosassa, as I've never been to the area before and I had no idea I was going to be staying at the best place in town! This place is a true jewel. Our original plans got rained out but we spent a relaxing afternoon on the dock enjoying some wine! There is a firepit, grill and kayaks... endless ways to entertain yourself. The Old Mill Tavern is literally in the back yard and is an excellent place to enjoy some good food and music! The Homosassa River is literally a mile up the road and also provides endless opportunities for food and nightlife (may I suggest the Florida Cracker Monkey Bar!!). The hosts are quick to respond (especially when I locked us out of the property.. oops lol) and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Will definitely be booking again and bringing friends!

Home was what I expected, but not exceeded
When we first opened the door the cigarette smoke residue was very strong. I was disappointed that the back yard was so overgrown that it was nearly unusable. Then the promised "Welcome basket with some pastries and fresh Florida fruit and fresh bag of ice delivered the morning of your check-in" were not to be found. I wouldn't recommend.

WAY better than the recent reviews! :)
So yes, the floor needs updating, but we did NOT see any cockroaches!!! And it's Florida for goodness sakes, there are going to be bugs! Also, it's a mobile home, so don't expect the ritz, but we had everything we needed, free access to kayaks, and the backyard had a beautiful screened in porch with a nice view of the swampy Florida scenery. My friend and I LOVED our stay :). When we both took showers at the same time, we did run out of hot water REALLY quickly... but other than that, I can't think of any other complaints... it's not the ritz, but it has what you need, and we loved it. 2 bedrooms, 2 bath. laundry. lots of parking. free kayaks. The AC worked really well. Oh, no breakfast like advertised! I think that's from the previous owners and needs to be updated. and we didn't notice any glass in the yard... but it's a large yard, i'm sure someone's bound to have broken glass there at some point somewhere... We also did their manatee snorkeling tour, and it was fantastic! :-D

House was infested with cockroaches
House was loaded with cockroaches. Broken glass all over back yard. Decks very dirty. Floors need complete replacement. Property owner said cockroaches were normal. Property needs a complete overhaul. Property owner also told me cockroaches dont carry disease. Yard had junk all over it. Canal is about 8 inches deep. Probably won't use homeaway again after this ordeal.
