About this property

Charming Stilt House on the Homosassa/Halls river WATERFRONT

GORGEOUS CANAL FRONT HOME (HALLS RIVER/HOMOSASSA RIVER) KAYAKERS DREAM! This is a 2 bed, 1.5 bath home. Quality & efficiency throughout this charmer on a little-known canal, a true piece of natural Florida beauty. Kitchen is gorgeous with gleaming stone countertops over beautiful, grained wood. Eat at the island. Stainless appliances finish out the kitchen. Access to the BBQ balcony right off the kitchen with a hidden screen to allow the cook to not feel left out, but not letting the gnats & skeeters inside. Relaxing living room with plenty of room to kick back & watch some tv &front entry can be used as sitting area for relaxing with a good book. The bedrooms are good sized, one with connecting door to bathroom with a California split king bed. The other with Murphy Bed & desk area there is a folding rollaway bed located in the closet for an unexpected guest. Downstairs 1/2 bath with toilet & sink, laundry. Also, downstairs is ready for all your river house enjoyment with fridge, tv box, fans, & lighting! Of course, the main attraction is the waterfront! Manatees frequent the canal, as with any body of water in the state of Florida beware of alligators. Dock is in place, so just bring your pontoon, skiff, or flats boat...BUT canal entry/exit will not accommodate much draft, so shallow draft boat with jack plate is ideal also you have to go under the bridge leading out of the hall's river so a high T Top is an issue depending on the tide. If you have a deep V boat or an inboard this is not the house for you if you want to keep your boat at the dock. If you have a flats boat or pontoon you should not have a problem getting in and out of the canal. The only issue might be, you would need to be able to lay down your top/Bimini to get under the bridge. When the tide is low there's just enough clearance to get through canal (about 3 ft) just stay in the middle and go slow. mid-high tide there should be no problems. Some of the locals that use the canal say they never had a problem going in and out. The property is just a few blocks away from boat ramps. Room for trailer on property. You can access the Gulf of Mexico or go to the spring to enjoy manatee. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that you can access by boat or car. Crumps, The freezer, Florida cracker, MacRae's, Margueritta Grill. The house comes with five kayaks 4 single person Kayaks and a double person kayak that can also be a single just by moving the backrest forward from the rear. Paddle to the local restaurants or to the springs to enjoy manatee. in the laundry room you will find 4 adult life jackets 2 youth and 2 child and paddles. Also, in the laundry room besides the 1/2 bath washer and dryer and sink are some fishing poles and a set of corn hole boards for your pleasure. In the shed behind the house, you will find two bicycles one woman’s and one man’s beach cruiser. When leaving in a kayak or boat you can either follow the halls river upstream and enjoy some little-known hidden springs for snorkeling or just paddling around or head to the main river and paddle up to the Homosassa Spring located at the head of the river. Dogs only ,50Lbs or less, maximum of two 50.00 per pet per stay.

Visit Crystal River and Homosassa

The location is perfect. A quick couple of mikes to Homosassa and 20 minutes to Crystal River. It is quiet location. If you like to fish, mullets are flying out of the water off the dock. The place has everything for a wonderful visit.

Relaxing weekend

House & property are even nicer than photos. Very attractive updates inside house. Peaceful yard and dock for hanging out. BBQ grill appeared to not have been cleaned from previous use, but cleaned up easily for us to use. A very enjoyable weekend.

Anniversary Getaway

We wanted a getaway that would be quiet and relaxing. This property was perfect. The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. Our granddaughter and her husband spent one day with us and absolutely loved fishing from the doc and Kayaking. I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful home in Homosassa

We had a great stay. Could have stayed much longer. The house is beautiful with the comfiest super king sized bed. Large sofa in the living area for family movie night. Kitchen was awesome. We managed to get out on the kayaks for a paddle and visited the state park a few mins away and swam with the manatees. We also walked to the seagrass restaurant for dinner. Publix was a few mins drive for groceries.

Perfect

This was by far my favorite vacation rental anywhere! The house is stocked with everything that you could need for a vacation (even a springform pan in case you want to make a cheesecake!)We took advantage of the kayaks, fishing equipment, and paddle boat. Caught some fish off of the dock and did some bird watching. House is centrally located to anything that you might want to do. Very close to bars/restaurants, Homosassa Springs State Park, and Crystal River. This was also one of the cleanest properties I've ever stayed at. 10/10, would love to come back again to show my family Homosassa. Thank you so much for having us!!

Great Canal Home

What a find! The home, location and amenities far exceeded our expectations! Loved the fact that this home was centrally located, but yet situated in a very quiet area of a canal with easy excess to the river. Would enjoy staying here again on another visit.

Wonderful Rental Home!

This is a beautiful home in a great location! We had plenty of space with the four of us (my husband, two boys, and me). The neighborhood is quiet and private. The kitchen had everything we needed to make the few meals we made at home. Being able to fish right outside was great for the boys. We caught two Bass off the dock! We also used the kayaks and paddle boat and saw an alligator while we were on the channel (we were pretty far down the channel, away from people)! There is plenty to do near by and great restaurants. Mostly everywhere is family friendly. We ate at Crump's, Cracker Monkey, Seagrass, Nature Coast, and The Breakfast Station. All had kid friendly food! The Ellie Schiller Wildlife Park is worth the trip and there are several disc golf courses in the area. The flea market is huge with lots of different items! It was so nice to come back to this rental after being out. Its clean, comfortable, and welcoming!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your home. We loved all the amenities of your house. Your kitchen is to die for. We read, finished one of your 500 piece jigsaw puzzles and visited Bluebird park. Of all of the places we have rented over the years yours is tops and top value. Thx

The property was perfect for our family of three and our dog. We loved being able to kayak in the waterways behind the house and really enjoyed the outdoor space downstairs. The house is just off the main road which was a definite plus for us. We can't wait to come back!

We loved staying at this house. It was super clean and had everything we needed for the few days we were there. We used the kayaks and my husband tried his hand at fishing off the porch. Great house and will definitely book again when we visit Homosassa in the future.
