About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sleeps 12 w/ a private dock, elevator and one of the best views on the River!

We purchased this one of a kind home with the best views of the Homosassa River and look forward to sharing it with visitors. This home is a 4/3.5 with 4,570 sq ft of living space plus tons of porches and outdoor area. So much space to relax at one of the largest homes in all of Homosassa. The home is on the main river so no canal views and also has a dock for your boat and plenty of trailer parking. The home sits on the best site in Homosassa. With the property being on a private peninsula, there is almost 360 degrees of unobstructed views of the water both up and down the river. This home is the feature home in the "Homosassa Landing" village and is right in the middle of Old Homosassa and only a 2 minute drive to the Freezer, Florida Cracker Riverside Resort, and MacRae's. Back porches and two private upstairs porches make an incredible place to watch the boats go by until the amazing view of the sunset over the river.

Brand new roof installed in December 2021
New Woods Floors installed January 2022
Brand new outdoor furniture for unbelievable views of the river.

Private Dock that can fit up to two boats.

We do not have a boat ramp on site, please DO NOT use Camp N Water’s boat ramp. It is reserved for their guests only and they will report you if you are caught using it. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a charcoal grill for you to use and enjoy however charcoal is NOT provided.
Kayaks and Paddle boards are there for your use, free of charge.

House does come furnished with basic plates, bowls, glasses, cups, coffee mugs, flatware, hand mixer, toaster, pots, pans, blender, traditional coffee maker, strainer, cutting boards, tupperware, microwave, double oven, and induction stove. If you are preparing huge or gourmet meals, we always recommend bringing your own supplies as we provide everything you need to make basic meals.

Washer/dryer on site and basic linens such as bedding, bath towels and kitchen towels are provided. A basic stock of paper towels and toilet paper is also provided.

Bedroom 1/master: King bed w/private bathroom
Bedroom 2/River view: King bed
Bedroom 3/Garden view: Queen bed
Bedroom 4/Bunk room: Two double bunk beds and two single bunk beds.

***Please note*** The home itself has been kept in excellent condition and offers the best view on the entire river. The home did have some settling in the foundation as it was being built, and although it's completely safe, there is a noticeable "lean" from one side of the house to the other. Most people have not found this to be an issue but a few guests have, so please understand. This also causes some of the sliding glass doors to be difficult to open or line up when closing. The previous owner lived there for the last 20 years without any issues but we want to be up front about it.

The home also has an elevator to bring you to the second floor.

Free Wi-Fi

We have YouTube TV and Netflix for all your live TV needs. 85 channels including ESPN, ESPN2, all regular channels, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, TNT, Comedy Central, FS1, HGTV, ACC and SEC Network, NBCSN and plenty more.

BEST VIEW ON THE RIVER!
Before staying at this river house we read all the reviews. As a host myself, I know that not all the reviews are honest and that everybody is different. I was born and raised in citrus county and we were coming back because of family member had passed. We had a celebration of life at this river house. The home gave us plenty of space,views, and peace while we were there. These reviews mentioned a lean in the house, This did not bother us at all. Yes, it is there, but there is so much more that Homosassa offers… this location offers,the view offers, and the space offers. You’re not gonna stay at a better location! I would definitely 100% stay there again.

Great Stay
Ignore the bad reviews! This is a river house and it's huge. You have to expect that a river house isn't going to be ultra luxurious. The house is comfortable and if you've read the other reviews-- it slopes to one side but it isn't a big deal. Plenty of room, great location and priced right because of the "river house" environment. I'd stay there again!

The best!!!
This home was so beautiful! I had to be nosey and see what kinds of sheets they used lol (and ordered my own! It’s right across from the tiki bar/grill… 2 minutes by water… about 18 for driving. The airboat rides were amazing!!! Very close. And if you want to fish, Wild West fishing charters will pick you up at the dock!!! 10/10. We will be back!!! Amazing place!!

Looking for Manatees
The property is just as described in the description in the listing. All the windows facing the river is an amazing view of the river. We saw dolphins and manatees from the dock. Beautiful sunsets on the dock. The hosts are very accommodating and answered any questions in a timely manner. We enjoyed our stay!

Disappointing Experience during Christmas Rental
I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the house we rented from you for our Christmas holiday. While there were a few positive aspects such as the breathtaking river view and ample space to accommodate our party of nine, the overall condition of the property fell far below expectations. Firstly, upon arrival, we were taken aback by the state of both the oven and refrigerator, which were unacceptably dirty. It was evident that proper cleaning and maintenance had been neglected for an extended period. Additionally, the condition of the floor was highly unsatisfactory. We encountered numerous stains, and due to excessive humidity, some of the floor tiles had become displaced. These issues significantly detracted from our comfort and safety throughout our time at the property. Furthermore, we were informed, albeit vaguely, about the house having an inclination. However, the actual extent of the slope exceeded our expectations, as it impacted our ability to navigate and fully enjoy the space as intended. Considering these substantial issues, it is my strong belief that VRBO should not allow the rental of properties in such a condition until necessary repairs and improvements have been completed. While the impressive river view and spacious accommodation were the only redeeming qualities of the house, they by no means compensated for the overall disappointing experience we encountered.

Slip Sliding Away
This was our least favorite house that we've rented in Homosassa. We were intrigued by the location, look of the house and the dock however the house was such a let down. First, the lean. They mention a slight lean but,,, WOW. The house slopes all over the place and made things feel really awkward. I felt like I was going to fall out of bed because of the slope. We put a water bottle on the floor and it instantly started rolling away. The lean cannot be understated. Other issues: 1) No door in the master bedroom's bathroom. If you don't mind using the toilet with whoever you're sharing the bedroom with I guess this is no big deal. 2) There were limited towels (1 per person), pillows (1 per person), toilet paper (1 roll per bathroom), small soap (lasted 3 showers), etc etc etc. No shampoo, etc. If you need it, bring it. 3) There were no blinds in the main area and only a few in the bedrooms, very cheaply done. Overall, find another place to stay. If you're 18 and you live in a frat house then maybe this is the place for you.

Paying for location
The location of this property is absolutely amazing. The dock and outdoor area were fantastic. Unfortunately, that's the end of the positives. While the slope of the house was drastic, that was the least of the concerns. The house is badly in need of updates, as the furnishing and appliances are severely outdated. More importantly, there were holes/cracks in the drywall, and much of the baseboard was coming off. Also, with a heavy rainstorm there was essentially a river running through the kitchen, and water was also leaking from the ceiling. The floor is incredibly slippery, and we almost fell a few times. Additionally, there wasn't much effort put into soap, shampoo or towels in the bathrooms. Considering the amount you pay for this house I would expect much more. We overlooked a lot from other reviews considering the location, but won't be staying here again. It's a shame because the house has so much potential.

Incredible Stay
We had an incredible stay. House was spacious with large dock and loved that we had trailer parking and huge driveway. In addition to the fridge in the kitchen, there is also a small fridge in the bar area which was nice for drinks. Nice Adirondack chairs outside which are perfect for watching the sunset!! Kids thoroughly enjoyed the bunk room!!! Have stayed at multiple places in Homosassa over the years and you just can’t beat this house or this view. Already booked for next year!!!

Family House
This is a great house to bring your family and friends. Yes the house leans but not a big deal and if you look at description on Vrbo it tells you about it!! Stop dinging this house for that!! Great location, wonderful home to get together with family and friends. Plenty of room. Had a great time!! Thank you so much to the owners and management for helping our group have a great time.
