Wonderful Time on the Nature Coast
We were attracted to this property because of its location and amenities, and that our golden retriever was welcome. Gave us the flexibility to truly appreciate the area, which was well worth the visit. The host was very responsive. The property was accurately described and depicted, very clean and well maintained. The location was quiet, relaxing and with everything easily accessible. We enjoyed our stay.

Convenient location with everything you need
This is a great location if you plan to go scalloping. Close to boat launches and local restaurants. It has everything you need! While it sleeps six, it's probably better suited for four unless you have kids (we did) that will sleep on the mattress they provided or the couches (they aren't fold out though). We appreciated the full sized washer and dryer and having a separate dining area. Its not a large place but was enough for our weekend stay. Would like to have enjoyed the outdoor space but the heat and mosquitoes made that challenging. Would stay again!

Perfect spot for a family vacation
My family and I came and stayed for a week. The house was super clean and accommodating for our family and pets. The outside dock was perfect for our boat and we were close enough to boat to a few places on the River. The community seemed nice and welcoming. We Will absolutely be back.

Quiet and clean!
Enjoyed our stay very much. The house was great clean and a little larger than the pictures looked. The grass around the property was a little higher than my dog would have preferred. It's very wet in the morning and made a mess tracking in dirt. Could have used a map of local water ways and some more info of the surrounding area along with a better description of what and where things were in the home. Over all would stay here again.

Lovely spot in Old Florida
We had a wonderful time. The home was well equipped for cooking after a day on the water scalloping and fishing. The house was clean and a nice place to cool down and relax at the end of the day. Dock was perfect for our flats boat and the canal was easy to navigate during high and low tide. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, we walked it with our dog and enjoyed the locals friendliness. We will definitely be back!

Convenient access to the water
We enjoyed the access via the canal out back to the flat water leading out to the Gulf. We launched our kayak right from the back yard, and there was a place to keep it under cover at night. The neighborhood was quiet and it seemed friendly- many of the neighbors would wave or say hi. The house was well equipped with paper products/ extra trash bags, plenty of dishes, towels, soap, etc... and a washer/dryer to dry swim suits or wash clothes. We did not have any problems with access to the location or the lock on the door and the host responded to any questions we had.

Wonderful little getaway in Homosassa, FL
The check in process was a breeze. The place was super clean and spacious. My dogs enjoyed playing ball in the yard and chasing lizards. Plenty of room inside the fence to park the boat trailer. Very quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything.

Homasassa canal house
What a wonderful getaway! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this comfortable canal home. With a beautiful weekend of weather, we saw dolphins and herons, egrets and otters in the surrounding waters we loved our stay. This home with a fully fenced yard was perfect for our pets. The kitchen is nicely equipped and we cooked everyday. The beds are comfy, the AC is cold and neighbors are friendly. Homasassa is a great Old Florida town with tons of fun things to do! Homeowner had good communication and extremely nice and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again.

Homosassa retreat
Staying in old Homosassa was the best decision we could have made. It was so quaint and homey. The property and location was superb. Being on the canal was very relaxing. The neighbors were so inviting and friendly. The only complaint we would have had was that the Wifi was sketchy which we realize is totally out of Jay's control as this seems to be a Homosassa issue. We will definitely be back 😊
