This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at the cottage. Love the location to the springs. We enjoyed watching dolphins and manatees swimming right behind the house.
The cottage is perfect for our family of 4. Well stocked kitchen and the propane grill was a nice addition from our last stay.
The kids loved going to breakfast at Florida Cracker by boat& we really enjoyed Marguerita Grill for dinner. We are already planning our next trip.

Im still thinking about our wonderful stay at this beautiful home by the river. It exceeded all my expectations! This house is very spacious and beautifully renovated and decorated. Everything appears to be brand new. Everything you need is provided from kitchen tools to bath products. We really enjoyed cooking in the huge kitchen while watching the boats go by on the river. And I haven’t even mentioned the best part—that humongous screened porch! We spent hours out there watching the water and the dolphins and manatees float by! There is plenty of seating we had eight friends over for dinner one night and there was seating for even more—there’s even a gas fire table for ambiance!I cannot recommend this place enough. It is located on the best and most beautiful part of the river and just a short paddle to the head spring. From the hidden driveway, to the private backyard to the kayaks and canoes to paddle from right off from the house could not be better!Don’t hesitate to book this house. You won’t regret it. We will be back!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The home was exactly as described and very clean. The beds were very high so I opted to put the mattress from the pull out couch on the floor in the living room for my kids and I to sleep on. This was very comfortable and worked perfectly for us. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location on the river. Cottage is cute and decorated in coastal decor. Kitchen, dining and living room is spacious.Down side was there were too many bugs. There is stagnant was behind the house. Not sure if there is a canal or if it’s just swampy. Tried to sit on screen porch but too many bugs in there to as one door on the porch didn’t close all the way and there were sandbags in front of it. Went inside to relax. I thought the couch and loveseat were too hard but my son didn’t. On the upside the side bed was comfortable. Beds in bedroom were very very high. We are fairly tall and still thought the were high. But they are pretty and quilts and decor is nice.Very clean cottage. Evolve was great to work with. If you have a boat and are going to be out all day I would recommend this place, GREAT location on the Homosassa River. We were fishing from the shore and just got bit up by bugs too much. Even with bug spray on.Oh, driveway is sand and can get kind of rutted out after a storm.

Can’t wait go back. It’s a wonderful quiet place to relax and feel a part of the river ecosystem.

This cottage is tastefully and comfortably furnished, was spotless upon arrival, and has every amenity you need, plus. The location is ideal, with an inviting screened porch overlooking the river, and plenty to do nearby. It is a very easy and leisurely paddle up river to the Springs to see Manatee, and there is ample opportunity to see the Manatee and other wildlife from the comfort of the porch. I wished I could have stayed longer and will return.

My husband and I wanted to getaway for a few days of relaxing and fishing and this was the perfect escape vacation rental!
We loved the spacious layout of the family room and kitchen with big open views of the water. House is very clean and well equipped and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch with our morning coffee or end of the day with cocktails watching the boats go by. Great location! We would definitely stay here again!

My girlfriends and I wanted a nice place to stay while we explored the manatees. This house was amazing! Right on the river, kayaks for us to use, the firepit and huge screened porch, all of it was amazing. We will definitely stay here again. The owner goes above and beyond to make your stay relaxing with all the extra amenities. I can’t say enough about our experience!

The view from the property is beautiful. Centrally located for everything you need and enjoyable places to visit. The property is very clean and has everything you need. The kayaks were fun to use. One bathroom was a challenge for a our family but we made it work. The beds were very tall and difficult to get into. The wifi was not reliable especially in the evenings but on the whole worked enough in the day time. We had a few issues but the owner was very quick to respond and deal with them. The lanai is well set out and the furniture is very comfortable, we spent hours sat out there watching the boats and wildlife. Overall our stay was enjoyable, the house comfortable and the view amazing.

The house was clean and fully stocked. The property is beautiful. The bed were comfortable. We brought our boat. The property needs a proper dock. It was very difficult to get on and off the boat.
5.0 / 10.0
Our family of 4 enjoyed a week here and loved every minute of it! Our little jon boat fit in the boat slip, we kayaked (included with the house) to springs and saw manatees, and even did some scalloping. The kids caught fish right off the shore.
The house was spotless and the recent renovations were beautifully done!
The only negative is there aren’t enough lights outside by the water to fish and catch crabs, per our 8 year old son!
The neighborhood was quiet and we loved eating our meals on the patio while watching the boats go by.

Beautiful waterfront home
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful waterfront home. Boat slip fit the 34ft boat. The kids enjoyed the kayaks provided. Owner has all the necessities to cook and feel at home. All new appliances and newly remodeled, nice finishes. I loved sitting on the screen porch and watching the boats go by while sipping my morning coffee. We are looking forward to booking again for our scalloping trip next year.

Highly recommend
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation with the rental of this VRBO. It was immaculate and well equipped and suited our needs perfectly. My family really enjoyed many hours on the screened in porch watching all of the birds, dolphin, manatees and boats… So peaceful and relaxing! The kayaks were a huge bonus to enjoy the river and the natural spring close by. The close proximity to great seafood restaurants and our scalloping trip was nice too. We would highly recommend this rental!
