Wonderful place

The home is absolutely beautiful and so convenient to everything we wanted to do!! The area around the home was quiet and perfect for relaxing. Great space below for fun and games, ping-pong, jenga, etc. Would definitely stay again when homosassa. BONUS: We weren't expecting it and were happily surprised to find the owners had provided paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher pods, trash bags, Linens/sheets bath towels, seasonings, spices, salt, pepper etc. They even provided detergent and dryer sheets for the On-site Washer and dryer. We really appreciated not having to inflate our vacation grocery bill purchasing these items. Additionally there were complimentary streaming services and internet as well.(Netflix and hulu).

Great location and space

The location can’t be beat! Within a short walk of historical landmarks, restaurants and the water. The unit is well stocked with plenty of bath towels, linens and kitchen supplies. The beds were incredibly comfortable as well. We had a lot of fun in the game room which also has a big fan and kept the space cool! The owners are very welcoming and responsive! Overall a great trip made better by this great VRBO!

Best stay in Homosassa

Second time staying, we enjoy the peacefulness of the property with close proximity to all the bars and restaurants! Well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and the garage game room is a fun addition, especially when it’s raining. Safe and quiet environment with short drive to the Freeze and MacRae’s - Perfect place to stay in Homosassa!

Up the Creek In A Good Way!

Spent three nights here and the house was very clean and in a great area of Old Homosassa. We had a blast checking out the area with the highlight being the manatees in the State park.

Great Family Rental!

This house is wonderful for a family vacation. Plenty of room and the bonus is the game room on the first level. We enjoyed being able to spend time watching the sports, playing the games and having our extended family visit while we were there. Perfect place to host a small family gathering. Host are very easy to coordinate the checkin. They communicate and respond to any request. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Very Nice Property

We have visited Homosassa several times and love going there. We’ve seen this property before and finally got to stay there, and it exceeded out expectations. As in the photos the property is very modern and the interior is very spacious. The interior has new fixture’s and the property has all of the amenities you need for your stay. Also, this property is very close to the places that we like to visit while in Homosassa, like the Old Mill Tavern and the Freezer. I will definitely stay at this property any time I visit Homosassa.
