Located in Old Historic Homosassa we are a 5-minute walk to the river hosting all the charming restaurants, monkey island, and McRae`s marina. The old mill tavern is literally within earshot and the sugar mill ruins right beside make a nice morning or evening stroll. The Ellie Schiller state park is just down the road about a half mile.
Guests will need a vehicle for travel to neighboring towns.
The golf cart is not street legal and will require that reserving guests sign a liability waiver for use. It can only be driven down to the river on our side.
***A Vacation Rental agreement is required to be e-signed by guest after booking.***

The house was perfect. Clean and comfortable. The backyard was just right for our dog and the golf cart was a nice perk. Enjoyed using it to go to the rivers edge to eat at local restaurants.
