It had plenty of room for the 8 of us - two couples and 4 kids with the occasional grand parent visit!! We loved using the kayaks daily and I’m very glad I brought my SUP board because that was super fun as well. We utilized the crab traps as well - the kids had a blast with this!! We also went to town and bought stuff for fishing and had a good time trying our hands at that as well! Sunsets were never disappointing nor were the outdoor shower experiences! Great outdoor kitchen as well! Thank you for a great location that made our stay memorable beyond all things!!! ##### Amber B.

She was very quick to respond to my inquiries. This spot is a gem; great location, and beautiful grounds, and is very comfortable and relaxing. We took advantage of the kayaks a couple of times. The weather was rather cool so we had a couple of fires in the outdoor fireplace. We visited the Homosassa Springs State Park. There were over 400 manatees in the spring.

The layout is a little funky but there was plenty of room and very clean. The only thing that I did not like is the early check out (10 AM). A word of caution is that the location is more for boats that can go in very shallow water so we did have some issues with navigating the area for the time of year we visited. I heard summer months the water is deeper. The property is perfect for kayaking thought and would stay again! ##### Mary J. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan H.

We LOVE this house, especially the quiet, peaceful location! My husband’s fishing guide comes right to the dock. It’s perfect! ##### Tamara T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Freida C.

There were plenty of spots both indoors and outside to gather and talk, play games, and eat. Very nice views of the river and garden. ##### Craig R.

Our family (seven of us) ranged in age from 23 to 79. We were all in awe of the house and the property! We stayed 5 nights and each day we saw something new from the landscaping to the wildlife on the property and on the water. The house was way bigger than we expected and had everything we needed. The property itself was way bigger than expected too and both inside and out super clean. We caught fish off the dock, saw manatee, otters and beautiful birds! We brought our skiff and tied up to the doc and ran out to the Gulf twice. Gotta be careful, the water is shallow, but no problem for our bottoms boat! The house is super close to all the great eating spots in Old Homosassa, but still far enough away to really slow down and feel like your miles away from anything fast. We loved our whole visit and are already planning another trip for all of us again to definitely stay here! ##### Shanda E. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan D.

The house is great and the outside area is awesome. We will definitely go back ##### Susan D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brimley N. Aug 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views and lots of space. The eight of us had plenty of room in this home and with three bathrooms there were no issues there. We didn't get a chance to use the kayaks but the crab traps provided blue crabs for dinner one night. Both the inside and outside areas had plenty of room for us to gather and relax. The one downside is it's not easy, by boat, to get to the primary channel or directly out to the bay from the home. That said the Mason creek ramp is one street over and the public ramp on Homosassa River is 5 minutes away. Lastly Dani was very quick to respond to any questions we had and super helpful. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit. ##### Brimley N.

Ate fresh seafood locally caught at three restaurants suggested by home owner! Otter came and visited us off the dock at the property! This house is wonderful but the property is AMAZING feels like you are in a tropical Oasis. Close to Everything! Ice machine is a big bonus in Summer heat! Easy check in and out! ##### Teresa B.
