About this house rental

Exceptional location to experience your next vacation adventure. READ OUR REVIEWS! Florida's Nature Coast is spectacular! Our place is close to all the best of what Florida offers. A lovely Stilt Home (not a manufactured or double wide) situated on almost 4 acres of beautiful “Old Florida” landscape just north of the “Chassahowitzka National Park”. We call the property 'The Sanctuary' - here you can meander down 'Dream Trail' to 'Eagle Point' on the property. Eagles have been spotted flying overhead. The private screened enclosed pool is perfect!
SHORT TRIP by BOAT TO GULF. Scenic ride to the Gulf of Mexico for renowned fishing and Seasonal Scalloping. Boat ramps are a short distance away and plenty of room to park your trailer at the house. A scenic 15-minute boat ride will take you into some of Florida's best fishing areas in the Gulf of Mexico or cruise up the Homosassa River toward Homosassa’s Wildlife Park where you can swim with manatees in crystal clear springs. It is also a 5-minute drive to the Homosassa Spring Park to see their exhibit up close.
2 bicycles are available. 2 canoes and 3 kayaks are provided for our guests to enjoy right off the boat dock in our cove that leads to meandering and enjoyable leisure rowing. Fish right off the dock! When we are down, we park our two 21ft boats at the dock. Boat and Pontoon rentals are available in Old Homosassa for an exciting adventure on the River or Gulf. Our cove in cooler months is known to have several Manatee, last season again we had a mom and her newborn living there. The sounds of nature are incredible. The house has a wraparound screened porch, perfect for reading or Yoga.
We are 65 minutes from Tampa and Busch Gardens and from Orlando, Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. Clearwater and its beautiful beaches and Aquarium , home of “Winter” star of “Dolphin Tales' are an hour drive from the house. Sandy white beaches are located in Chrystal River, a 15-minute drive or 25 minutes south to Pine Island. Enjoy all the activities Florida has to offer in a short ride. This area is remote enough to take you away but close enough to major grocery chains & restaurants. At local establishments like the Florida Cracker, MacRae's, the Old Mill Tavern, Crump's and others, you will definitely experience true American small town friendliness teaming with local color. "The Freezer" is our favorite! There are numerous quality golf courses within a short driving distance and many Florida Birding Trails.
The park-like property is very quiet and has complete seclusion and privacy. In season you can pick your very own oranges and grapefruits. There is parking for two cars out of direct sun. The rear of the house is south facing maximizing the amount of sun during the day on the fully screened large kidney shaped heated pool (heated in the cool months for an extra charge). There is an outdoor shower. The sunsets are glorious. A dining area with chairs and table are poolside. The large Florida room has cable TV, a sofa, a two-seat love sofa and a large single armchair. The kitchen has all needed appliances, dishes and utensils. There is an adjoining breakfast area with table and chairs for 6. The utility room has a washer, dryer and a large sink. All linen and towels (including beach towels) are provided.
A maximum number of 6 people are accepted on a rental for the given rate. There are comfortable beds for 6 people. Up to 2 additional people can be added at $25 each for each night. A cot, a twin air mattresses and a child's Pack & Play are available for use.
The master bedroom has a King-size bed, en-suite bathroom with tub/shower and a walk-in closet. There are two other bedrooms, one Queen and one with Twin beds, ample closet space, and they share a 2nd bathroom which has a bath/overhead shower, toilet and vanity unit. French doors lead out to the pool area and a door from the Master bedroom and the Queen Guestroom lead out to the pool. There is a barbecue grill provided for your use.

Beautiful view of the marsh where my wife’s bucket list got a little shorter after we seen manatees. Quiet and tranquil neighborhood with lots of wildlife including deer and wild hogs. I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to be off the beaten path and still able to get back to civilization within 15 minutes. The owners were incredible as well. Had a few small issues while we were there that they jumped on quickly. Great and comfortable stay. We will most likely be back soon. Maybe next fall to see more of the manatees.

Highly highly recommend this amazing home. Everything was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The homeowners were great to deal with and answered all my questions prior to arrival. The home itself was the perfect getaway for our family. We couldn’t get over how quiet and peaceful the property was. We LOVED having the canoes and kayaks to use and the kids were in the pool almost every moment. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay.

We have a wonderfully relaxing time! The setting was so beautiful and we enjoyed all the wildlife. The pool was amazing and felt so refreshing because it was so hot. We tried fishing and crabbing but didn’t have any luck. To our surprise we saw a couple of manatees in the canal right off of the back of the house!

Very nice property. Somewhat secluded and very private feel. Beautiful natural Florida setting, close enough to Gulf beaches, attractions like snorkeling and swimming or site seeing Manatees abound.

Loved the peace and quiet, the house was very nice, clean, and had everything that you could need. The pool was very nice, clean and warm, loved it! The patio furniture was clean and comfortable. we were bothered by the no-See-Ums and gnats when out by the pool area. Pete and Joan gave us some bug repellent which helped ward off the bugs. One thing I feel I need to mention is, there should be grab bars in the showers. The bottom of the tub can be very slick when soapy. Pete and Joan were very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. We would highly recommend staying there. Ken & Bev S

Very clean. Great view of beautiful grounds, wildlife and the marsh/river. Out of the way and large lot made for a quiet stay. Comfortable beds. Lots of activities - both outside and rainy day - games, puzzles, books, DVDs, horse shoes, bongo ball, fishing poles, coolers. Loved the heated screened in pool, dock and kayaks/canoes. We used the grill a couple times, which was great, but also the area restaurants - MacRae's, Old Mill Tavern, Museum Cafe, Crumps. Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park was certainly a highlight with lots of Manatees in season, as well as many other animals. Highly recommended!

The property was even more stunning than in the pictures on VRBO. The landscaping and home were beautiful, the screened in porches were fantastic! The pool was a big plus!! The home is a bit off the beaten path, providing peace and quiet, but was close enough to some nice restaurants, shopping and attractions. Would definitely book again 😊
