Great experience with the rental.

We've stayed at dozens of properties from the keys to big bend and this was probably the cleanest. We're just disappointed in the scallops being so thin but that's not the fault of the property owner. We plan on returning in the future and this property was very nice indeed.

Slice of Old Florida💙

Upon arrival walking in the door was so great, just as the pictures showed , beautifully open with great space. nicely decorated with lake house accents. The bedrooms were small but the beds were nice. Everything we needed was in the kitchen and at the boat dock. Enjoyed Sunsets, so beautiful!! Very peaceful, enjoyed sitting in the screened in area. We had a great time and enjoyed the home!!! We would for sure go back. Thanks for sharing!!

Perfect Fishing Get-a-Way

This was the best VRBO I have ever stayed in. Extremely clean, well appointed and welled stocked with every tool and pot and pan. We took our mother, 89, and Aunt 93, and the house was flat and so easy for them to get around. They are sisters and loved sitting on the porch visiting while we fished. The ice maker was a luxury to have available. We also chartered Capt Dave and that was fun getting on his boat at the house dock. We have stayed in many different places in Homosassa, this was our favorite.

Great property

We saw manatees off the dock! Very cool. The house, boathouse, ice machine, and yard are awesome. Very busy area this time of year on the weekends (May) so if you can stay during the week you might enjoy it most. Several restaurants close by so that is handy-though the kitchen and dining room in the rental is large and well appointed.

Thanksgiving break

We had a great stay. The place was clean and the use of the kayaks were great. We were just confused because the listing says hot tub but there was not a hot tub on the property. We would stay there again though. We would definitely recommend this property.

Gorgeous River Home

We were in town for a music festival in this house is absolutely stunning. Everything you could possibly need is there. All of the furnishings and accessories are top notch. Super convenient to all of our favorite places. Plenty of parking. Beautiful lawn and dock area. My only regret is that I did not have time to make use of the kayaks. If we go to Homosassa for an event again, this is the first property I will try to rent.

Perfect Home away from Home

This house is perfect, we booked it for our yearly family scalloping trip and it lived up to everything described. The house is setup perfectly and has so many small things that make it great: -ice maker on the dock for our boat each day -Games for the family -fully stocked kitchen - so clean - comfortable beds - and the list goes on. We already are trying to figure out dates out for next year so we can book again!

Wonderful return stay

This was our fourth year staying in this home for our annual scalloping trip. There is good reason why we return here each year—perfect location, beautiful property, terrific layout both inside and outside of home, and great communication with the owner. Our group, consisting of 3 family members and 3 friends, have always liked the set up of the home. It has plenty of open space in the well-stocked kitchen, comfy living room, and large dining space. While we didn’t use the kayaks and fire pit this year, they are always well-maintained and nice to have the option to use. The boat house and dock are a huge plus! The cut back to the dock is easily accessible for our 27 foot boat. Just as in previous years, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we look forward to returning! Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Marni Allen

Host profile image
We lived in Arizona. I have been coming to Homosassa since 1976. My Aunt and Uncle lived in the area, and my fondest memories as a child were on the Homosassa River. We finally decided to purchase a home where one day we could retire and visit as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property has been completely updated. It has everything to make your fishing trip relaxing and enjoyable. The location is close to all the Hot Spots (Freezer. Shed, Mc Rae's, Old Mill, Publix). Screened in the boathouse with a cleaning station and ice machine—plenty of room to park your boat trailers. You can sit in the screened lanai room and watch the manatees and dolphins.

What makes this property unique

We are located on the Homosassa River. Quite area, but located close to everything in Old Homosassa. Live Music at all the local restaurants. Close to boat ramp. Golf Cart community.
