Right on the water, close to attractions and restaurants, great view of the sunset. Dock easily fit our two boats. Plenty of space for our family to spread out. Will consider again the next time we visit!
Dani made access super easy and convenient. Home was very clean and fully stocked. Beautiful boat dock! We had a great time fishing and really enjoyed this home.
Wonderful property! Fully stocked and clean with extras of everything! Beautiful dock for the boat and just hanging out. Fire pit was nice and cozy this week. The whole family enjoyed the serenity and the atmosphere of the River house!
My family and friends loved this property. The Owner was very attentive and responsive. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time but we made the best of it. The home and property were stunning!
Great house right on the river in Homosassa (market 77) perfect for a family or 3 couples to come visit or scallop. Inside is all renovated, comfy and roomy with everything you might need. Sitting out on the dock deck enjoying a cocktail and watching the sunset and the boats coming in and out is terrific. Coming back in 2 weeks
Great house right on the river. Clean, comfy with everything you need. Big open kitchen living space area. Great dock area on the river to sit and watch the boats go by and the gorgeous sunsets. Scallop cleaning station, grill, everything one needs. Bedrooms are comfy, bathrooms are great. We had the Big Chill soundtrack going and it was perfect. Thank you, Dani! We will be back next year for sure!
Amazing Place, Very well done and Perfect Location
We stayed for four nights and enjoyed every moment.
The host was fantastic in communication, the property was spotless and the layout, furnishings and accomodations were amazing.
Kitchen was very well appointed and ready for cooking and dining in as desired, amazing views from living and balcony areas and nice big bedrooms with comfy beds.
Home appears to have been recently renovated and there was a lot of attention to detail, very comfortable endless views.
The dock system is amazing for boaters with multiple options, hoses and commerical ice machine which was very convienent. With being the very first dock as you come into the no wake zone, the house is perfectly located on the river.
While scallops were scarce this year, we took advantage of the location and available ice to get up and make the run to Pasco daily where we limited out.
For serious boaters, this is a fantastic property and you can easily fit up to a 36 ft center console which is fairly difficult to find in the area.
Highly recommended.
We loved our stay in Homosassa at this property. We brought our boat for scalloping and the location of the house is right at the end of the idle zone making for a quick trip out. The house was very clean and worked perfectly for our family and the young kids had plenty of room downstairs to play.
Perfect location and the house has everything! We had a wonderful time! Beautiful river view- -great local food, fishing, porpoise and manatees everywhere.
Excellent location on the main river with great views. House has a nice layout and worked perfectly for our 3 couples. We had 3 boats on the dock with plenty of room. Pet friendly is an extra added bonus. We couldn't ask for anything more of this location.
We came for a long weekend of scalloping and boating. The location of this home couldn’t have been better being the second house from the fast zone out the channel. The views are stunning, the homes is stocked with yummy coffee and everything you could need plus more. Commercial ice machine was the biggest hit for our long days on the boat. We will definitely be coming back.
We completely enjoyed our stay at this location. This is one of the best places we have stayed while we visited Homosassa. Stocked with anything you might want in house. Great folks to deal with as well if you need anything. thank you for a great stay
This is by far the best place we have stayed. The view is amazing, the host thinks of everything. The dock space easily fits 2 boats and this is a great for a group setting.
We have stayed in Homosassa for many years and several homes, but this home was our favorite! House is completely equipped. Kitchen stocked, house very clean and newly renovated. Beautiful views from main floor and balcony upstairs. The dock is amazing and we loved sitting on it at night. Easy access to everything. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Cant wait to return!
Right on the river, plenty of dock space for several boats, commercial ice maker for your boat coolers. House was clean and comfortable. Will book again if available.
