We really enjoyed our stay. House was a great getaway for our family and we loved the heated pool and kayaks! We cooked dinner on the grill and overall had a great time relaxing at the house. It was centrally located to our local activities and check-in was very smooth. I’m glad we brought some of our own towels for the pool but otherwise the house had everything we needed.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect for our family. The grandkids loved the pool, fishing and kayaking. Great home right on the water. Everything we needed for a great Spring Break. Thank you!

Love the location the house is perfect. The only thing we had no heat and it was very cold in the morning the thermostat was not working. It was disconnected from the heating unit and the pool was not heated as it stated in the description. One bedroom was missing a TV and also one of the master room mattresses was so uncomfortable. I went out and bought a mattress firm cover to get a good nights sleep. Other than that I would definitely book the house for next year.

A nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to spread out. Huge screened in porch and a patio overloooking the canal.
Plenty of "toys" -' kayaks, bikes etc.
We really enjoyed the home!

Very clean! and 3 large bedrooms (2 with their own bathrooms) were perfect for us. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful lanai and outdoor porch on the creek! Host was super responsive. Would book again!

This property was everything we hoped it would be. The house was so comfy, clean and in an awesome location. My youngest son fished the entire time and is already asking when we are going back. Thanks for providing a great house filled with amenities.

Very nice property, clean and comfortable. A little maneuvering to get two boats on the dock but doable. The pool and deck are great.

Mommy family and I had an amazing time here scalloping and the rainy days made the pool well worth the stay.

Absolutely beautiful location, spacious and airy with gorgeous viws but not too big. Just the right size with lots of outdoor area to rest, relax and swim. Perfectly appointed and well thought out. We enjoyed breakfast on the breezy deck while watching manatees float by. Everyone we met was super friendly, including the Great Blue Heron that came by several times to see what we were up too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
5.0 / 5.0
Quiet location with a surprising amount of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. Could choose between deck, screened in patio, pool, or comfortable living room when not out hiking, kayaking, or exploring. Beds and baths newer and nicer than many rental properties.
5.0 / 5.0
Our third time at this home was the best yet. Since the renovations and addition of a bedroom and 2 bathrooms, this is a true family getaway spot. 2 king beds and a queen allow for 6 adults to sleep comfortably. Comfortable furniture and a well-appointed kitchen make it easy to relax and prepare meals (if you choose).
The house location with deck and boat dock is situated in the ideal place for trips up or down river. Pleasant boat rides to the springs, gulf, or nearby restaurants are easy as you're steps away from the dock. Have your morning coffee on the lanai or deck or take a swim in the pool.
Hopefully, the the third trip wont be our last to Otter Slide.

Perfect location for docking our boats for fishing, great pool to cool down and have fun, the new bedroom and attached bathroom was perfect! We love your home and look forward to next year.

Great location. Beautiful home.
5.0 / 5.0
This home is one of the best we have stayed at. It is super comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms and I can't say enough about the outside. We had a great stay and will be back the next time we come to see our family. If I had to pick one item to improve it would be an easier way to get into the kayaks. Other than that it is a 5 star from our family.
5.0 / 5.0
If you plan on traveling to Homossassa, this house has it all. Three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, open living area with a fully furnished kitchen, heated pool, a dock in the back big enough to fit my 24 foot boat and plenty of parking for our truck and trailer. The house was immaculately clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back!

Everything about this place was great! Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, loved the pool and deck. We saw manatees 2 different times right at the dock! Loved having the use of the kayaks and bikes. We can't wait to come back!
5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful, spotless and we'll stocked with everything we needed!! We loved having the bikes to explore and used the tandem kayak almost daily. The heated pool was a definite plus as well. Sitting on the deck was so relaxing and peaceful. Loved the sounds of nature and the bird visitors. We cannot wait to return!!!

The home is in a great location on the water and the pool is wonderfully warm in the winter! I really appreciated the cleanliness of the home and that there were not any strong fragrances.

The outside entertaining areas with large lanai & dock and pool were fantastic. Unfortunately, we had a hard freeze and unable to enjoy the outside very much! We did celebrate Christmas & enjoyed the home very much!

This was the best vacation we have ever taken! Ther house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. We kayaked off the dock every morning seeing amazing views and tons of wildlife. We even had a dolphin come visit right at our dock! "Harold", the resident Great Blue Heron, visited is on our deck every day along with many other birds. Location was close to countless activities, and restaurants, but next time we will just enjoy everything this place has to offer. We will return!

This property was perfect for our stay. We had seven 55 yr old woman for a high school friends annual girls weekend. We had a great time using the pool, fishing off the dock and relaxing outside on the big patio. Thank you for the use of your beautiful home!
4.0 / 5.0
Fantastic location to anything in Homosassa Springs! We brought our boat and thought the location was just perfect. Definitely will be back :) The ONLY downside is old furniture/chairs on the deck/pool. Usable for sure but could use some updating/pressure washing.
5.0 / 5.0
We have stayed at this location before and will hopefully keep coming back. The location is very convenient, both by land and water. The neighborhood is the perfect laid back Homosassa style that we love. And the pool is the perfect relief after a day on the water. The docking space is sufficient for my 23 ft. boat but a larger boat might have problems.

GREAT FAMILY VACATION
We had an unbelievable stay at this property and will definitely be going back. This property is located close to everything that you could possibly want to do. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks, the pool and just the house itself. A highlight was being able to watch the fireworks on Saturday night from the deck at the house!!
