The Best Stay Ever!

We wish this place was ours so hoping to return. Beautiful home and grounds on a short canal to the river. We paddled their kayaks every day to see the beautiful manatees, most mornings they come right in front of the house. Im a frequent renter and this house lacked for nothing. The home is close to the highway so some road noise but nothing that interfered, and occasional construction on the opposite bank of the canal, again nothing that bothered us. If we could give it 100 stars we would, especially sitting on the back screened in porch with coffee or wine. A most delightful stay.

Wonderful home close to many activities

This home was very clean, comfortable & beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some - snacks & microwave popcorn on the counter, k-cups for the Keurig, and a spice rack for cooking. Living room sectional recliner and TV was relaxing at the end of the day, and it was fun to watch the turtles & fish right off the dock. Wish we would have had more time to kayak, fish & enjoy the fire - plenty of outdoor seating in the screened in porch as well. Close to groceries and many restaurants and activities in Homosassa Springs and Crystal River!
