Our trip to Homasassa was a blast. Gavin’s place had a great location. Having kayaks and a dock was a big plus. Location was perfect. His place was clean but could have used some starter supplies and the twin beds could use an upgrade. All in all I could say we would definitely choose his place again.

The place was great! Right on a shady canal full of fish, this place comes with free kayaks and is a five minute paddle from an awesome spring inlet. Clear water and great swimming! The only complaint we had was that the dryer doesn’t work, and we had washed our clothes before we realized it. But air drying them here actually made them smell great! Just a minor complaint compared to all the positives of this place.

The location was perfect for access to the springs. Just a short kayak. Overall the property was clean but needs some repairs. The lights, fans, dryer and overall electrical did not work as expected. The dock ladder was not attached so no way to get in and out

A group of us stayed to enjoy as our home base for 4th of July weekend. It was comfortable and clean and worked well for us; nothing too much, but all the things and the space to have a nice base. Open living room space was great to hang out, the sun room area was nice, and liked being able to dock our boat out back.

We booked this rental on very quick notice and Mr Gunter was able to accommodate us. The home is located within a close proximity to the springs and it made it very convenient for boating and jet skiing to these areas. There’s a nice covered slip for the boat and a floating dock that made an excellent spot to tie off the skis. The house was spacious and kitchen was well equipped. Beds were fairly comfortable. Shower/tub combo had great water pressure and plenty of counter space for all my wife’s cosmetics. Back yard was fenced and neighbors were great and very informative of the general area and activities. Town was only a 5 minute drive. Living room lacked enough furniture for our group of six. There is an awkward sitting area when entering the house. We moved the two wingback chairs from this area to the living room and grabbed another from the dining table … the combination allowed us to sit as a family. As stated in a previous review… nothing flashy but comfortable enough to make our stay very enjoyable. Thanks to Frank for making a few concessions for us on such short notice.

Property is in a quiet neighborhood on a canal that leads directly to the springs. We love the ability to enjoy the natural surroundings but still be 5 minutes from store and restaurants. This house is always our first choice. The kayaks are a huge bonus and communication with the owner is very prompt. We will definitely be back!

Manatee adventure

Manatee adventure

We had a family stay because we wanted to see the manatees. We did a snorkel trip in Crystal River and booked with Nature's Discovery. If you want to have a great manatee experience book with them. Jake and Evan were wonderful. There are six kayaks at the house for your use. Another day we took kayaks down the canal into an area where we were able to observe so many manatees. They are amazing. We were close to grocery stores and it was very convenient.

A group of friends and I rented this place for a yearly scalloping trip and it could not have been a better experience! The house is right on the water and the kayaks/paddle boards were a huge perk. Plenty of room in the backyard to play corn hole and hangout outside. House was very clean and had great amenities. We had plenty of space for 8 people. Very close to local restaurants, grocery stores, and the river. Surrounding neighbors were very kind and welcoming and did not complain of any noise. Check in and out process was relatively easy, we ended up having to call the owner for more information but he always answered and took care of us. We would definitely go back and had a great time!

2nd stay here. The location is very good - under the bridge from the main spring so not all boats can fit through so not as insanely crowded. Enjoyed the clear spring water at end of canal - manatee, fish, ray. Fish off of back of house. Our pontoon boat fit in boat house nicely. Kitchen is well supplied. Kayaks and a canoe which are good for heading to clear springs area at end of canal anytime or early morning going to river - after that river is too crowded for kayaks in my opinion. Ate breakfast outside on porch each morning - a momma manatee and her baby came by each day. Suggestions: some additional seating would be nice in living room area, especially for those who have a larger group. Also some additional lighting (we bought a cheap floor lamp at WalMart to supplement the house lighting. Wish upper portion of porch was screened Overall a very good house for a home base for scalloping, boating, springs. .

This property is in a great location, is very spacious inside, and comes with kayaks to go to the springs in just a few minutes. It was very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. I would have rated it five stars, except for a few small things (mostly that we couldn’t get the grill to work, so we had some beautiful steaks that we had to cook in the oven), and would happily stay here again.
