Beautiful Florida getaway to experience nature and history nearby.
3.0 / 5.0
We had a rough time here, unfortunately.
Check in was not seamless, but we got it figured out.
After getting in to the house we felt like the temp was hot (central Florida, close to a 90 degree day, house was at 80 degrees when we check in) so we dropped the thermostat temp to 70 and waited for things to cool off. Long story short, they never did.
We finally realized the A/C was broken on the second day, called/texted the host, did not hear back. The next day we called/texted again and he finally responded. A/C tech was not able to come until the next day so on day 3 of no A/C.
Repairman comes and says part won't be available for 2 more days. So on day 5 of no A/C at this point. Part finally comes in...broken. So we stayed the whole time with no A/C.
Was it the hosts fault? I don't know how closely he follows his A/C maintenance schedule so I have no idea. Was it an inconvenience? Yes. Did it turn out as poorly as possible? Yes.
Thankfully the host offered *some* refund, after we spent 3.5 hours on the phone with VRBO (which was the action the host told us to take) to no avail. Calling VRBO was like the worst gaslighting experience you have ever had, with a company that takes zero responsibility. The host was not at all knowledgeable about the process and doesn't seem to know what his responsibility is versus the company he works with. But like I said, ultimately after some negotiating we got some refund on our total stay.
There were also biting bugs in the house.

This property was amazing! The location was perfect for us. A bit of a kayak to the Springs, but the kayaks were fun for daily exploring. The kitchen was well appointed, beds comfortable, outdoor space wonderful. One small issue and owners were very responsive and delightful. Well maintained and immaculately clean property. Hope to stay again!

What a beautiful, well-kept property! It was so clean and well equipped with kitchen items, nice kayaks and comfortable beds. It had great, calm water access and is close to the restaurants on the water. The owner was very helpful and communicated with us right away. I would just suggest providing a few extra towels and pillows.

It would have helped to have use of the elevator for luggage and groceries, especially for older people like us.

We had previously secured a different vacation rental in Cape Coral which, sadly, was impacted by Hurricane Ian. I was so happy to find this one in Homosassa was still available! It was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own space, it was pristine clean, quiet and the space for our boat was perfect! Even the fish cooperated! LOL We had visited years ago in Homosassa and loved going back. The Hosts were very responsive and graciously allowed us to check in a little earlier. The beds were comfortable - we slept very well! I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to experience or revisit Old Florida in Homosassa. It's the perfect jumping off spot!

Scallop Season fun
We loved our stay. The house is in great condition and was very clean. Dock was setup up nicely. We had plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles. Just a short golf cart or boat ride to Monkey bar or other attractions. Thanks for allowing use of your home.

Awesome place, with 4 kayaks!
My daughter, granddaughter, her boyfriend, and I stayed at this beautiful house. We kayaked to monkey island, and the bars in the area. It is an easy kayak trip, even for this grandma. This place has everything you will need for kayaking, fishing, and sitting around the fire. Bring bug spray if you are going to sit outside at night, you'll need it. We really enjoyed our stay, and definitely would stay again.

Modern and well appointed home
The property itself was in great condition and was perfect for my group of 4 guys on a golf trip. The area had a very beach town type feel and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our trip. A great place that I would suggest to anyone who needed a place to stay in this area.

Quiet Gem
It pains me to give this property the review it deserves because I would love for it to be my own sanctuary. The house is clean, feels fresh and new, has every amenity you could want in a vacation home, and is located on a quite street close to local action. A truly remarkable place and a remarkable stay!

Real Florida Vacation!
Forget theme parks and crowded resort facilities and enjoy nature the way only Florida has to offer! We would definitely give this home and host 5 stars for location, comfort, amenities and cleanliness and we've stayed at many. It was very quiet and relaxing, just what we were looking for and of course snorkling with the manatees is a one of a kind experience! Our host was kind enough to help us navigate the streaming services so that we could enjoy watching the Olympics during our stay. Professional decor and kitchen with well stocked supplies made it a real treat!

Perfect Getaway With Amazing Hosts
What a wonderful experience! The accommodations were so clean and comfortable... it felt like a home away from home. Our large family (5 kiddos ages 7 to 17) fit perfectly. Each morning we enjoyed the serenity of the waterfront. And in the evening the, fire pit was the perfect focal point for us to sit around and talk late into the evenings.
The hosts were so kind and communicative. They gave us ideas of things to do locally and never took more than a few minutes to respond to a message. By the end of our stay, they felt more like friends.
We packed a lot into our week, including scuba certifications at the "Bird's Underwater" dive shop and manatee experiences! This property was the perfect place to come back and relax after some long days.
Thanks so much to Floyd and Sandy for their hospitality and generosity.
I highly recommend booking your stay here.

5 stars!
What a perfect home for our weekend stay! We loved this home - great location, nicely decorated, and the layout was perfect. The house was new and fresh and the beds super comfortable. The amenities were wonderful, and all the essentials were provided. We had an amazing few days with our family lounging in the many outdoor areas (balconies and the ground level patio). There was everything you could possibly want in this place. I highly recommend it and would love to stay again.
