About this property
Hellgate Island scallop house
Visit Hellgate Island Scallop House, a unique waterfront property only reachable by boat. Experience luxury living on your own private island. Immerse yourself in serene surroundings and tranquility. Just 15 minutes to the many boat ramps and 15 minutes to the gulf.
Fish right off the dock for snook, redfish or the occasional tarpon.
Porpoise and manatee are a common visitor. There is a large deck / dock for grilling and entertainment or just unwind in the large hammock.
We have two docks one on the front of the house directly on the Homosassa River and the back dock on the protected back lagoon.

About the host
Hosted by Bill Ryan
Your host Bill & Bobbi have lived in the area for over 20 years, originally from south east Florida we escaped the city to raise our son in a more peaceful environment. This is the very definition of God’s country.
Why they chose this property
Wanting to be directly on the river we choose Island living for the beauty and serenity. Only 15 minutes to the boat ramp it feels like a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the city.
What makes this property unique
Being a boat access only property makes us unique in the fact that our guests are boaters like us.
The Homosassa offers word class inshore and awesome offshore fishing. Not to mention scallop season. We share some of the best scallop grounds with Crystal River right off our inlet. Snorkeling for scallops is like an Easter egg hunt on the water. They can usually be found in water as shallow as 3-4 feet.
There is also many restaurants easily accessible by boat on the Homosassa River, Crumps, Mcrays, the Freezer and more.
