Weekend Birthday Trip
We loved the location with a short boat trip to the springs. The backyard area with fire pit was Thoroughly enjoyed. We rented a boat and was out most of the day. My only recommendation, if you like soft pillows, make sure you bring one with you.

Fantastic Relaxing Getaway!
We love Homosassa and this house is great for a large family getaway! House has EVERYTHING you need! Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds (bring your own pillow if you don't care for firm pillows - they are nice, but firm) multiple kayaks for your use, fire pit, corn hole, games room! Great quiet location. We will definitely stay again!

Spacious and great kayaking location
Spacious house. Beds were comfortable, although most pillows were huge and hard (more decorative than functional). Great decks and loved having access to kayaks that we could easily launch from the dock. Appreciated nightlights all over the house, A few cons: watered-down soap in the dispensers, no dressers to unpack into (although lots of closet space) and no lamps anywhere in the house so overhead lights were the only option for light in the evenings. But most of those negatives were personal preferences and overall the place worked well for our family.

Beautiful stay
We come to Homosassa and have stayed at many homes nearby. This one was unique because it had a lovely concrete area for our kids to ride scooters and draw with chalk when we weren’t on the water. The home has two docks and very easy access to the water. The home is located down a more narrow part of the river so the neighboring homes were very visible and there were several times we were outside and could easily hear the conversations from the house right across from us. Not a huge issue, but it was less privacy. In general, the home is spacious, has plenty of beds and bathrooms and a lovely kitchen. We loved the balconies and there were tons of kayaks to use. The fire pit is right next to the water which was nice. I would bring a few additional paper towels, trash bags, laundry pods and dish pods because they don’t provide quite enough for a full weeks stay but we did have a large group (4adults 5 young kids) so we didn’t mind. Great stay - we would stay again!

A wonderful and relaxing stay! The house was very clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we'd need (minus the food 😉 ). Kayaks were easy to launch right from the dock. Beautiful river! Super-close to the state park. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great place!
The location was great- quiet cul de sac off the main road, and easy water access to Halls River from the canal behind the house. The house was very clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. We enjoyed playing cards & games in the rec room. The outdoor space and kayaks were a hit as well. It was warm out & noseeums were active in the evenings so we didn't get to enjoy the firepit but it looked nice. The only negative was the pillows were too large & firm for me but that's why you bring your own! I would absolutely book this house again.
