We had a wonderful family vacation in homosassa at this beautiful home. It was perfect for our family of 7, including two kids (5 and 7). The hosts were so kind, hospitable and accommodating. They gave us some great suggestions of places to eat and boating destinations. This home on the river was the perfect launching point for our daily boat adventures, and keeping the boat on the dock made it hassle free!! The living space was perfect for our family. The kitchen was expertly stocked with everything we needed to cook family breakfasts and dinners. And the beds!!! Soooo comfortable and the perfect place to crash after a long day in the sun. Most importantly this home was the perfect backdrop for creating some incredible family memories. We can’t wait to come back.

Our group of 8 had the absolute best time. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our group of 8 (two couples, and 4 young adults). We loved the private boat ramp, and being able to park our boat at the dock. It made hitting the water to scallop or hit the springs (which was SO close) very easy. There was plenty of parking for our boat trailer and guest vehicles. The house was well stocked and the kitchen had everything we needed to make large meals. There was plenty of seating inside and out for our group. The screened porch was perfect for coffee and mimosas in the morning overlooking the water. It was pure bliss! One last note: the host is AMAZING! I’ve never felt more welcomed at a vacation home. We really appreciated the great communication and recommendations. We will be back!

From the moment you enter the home, you are on vacation. The River House Vibe immediately puts you in vacation mode. The little touches of Old Florida mixed with a modern flair make you feel like this could be your second home. We overpacked because the host thought of every detail. There are also Publix and Walmart, which are very close to the house. To say this home was clean and comfortable is an understatement. The beds are ALL very comfortable, and the spacious living room has an oversized couch that our family fell in love with and sometimes asleep on. The outdoor enclosed porch is made for peaceful evenings and early mornings when you can watch the river and just BE. The kitchen was a perfect size and fully equipped to make large meals for our entire crew. The bedroom layout was perfect for your group. Some of us were early risers, and others were night owls, but we all enjoyed peaceful slumber. The room with three full beds has a large sliding door that makes the room virtually soundproof. The twin beds were also configured in a way that provided privacy for everyone. The "Captain's Ensuite" was the perfect temperature for great sleep. Having a skylight slowly let the morning light in from the bathroom was nice. But, we could have closed the door if we didn't want to be disturbed by the beautiful day. At night, we enjoyed playing board games inside, and the younger adults were thrilled with the speed of the internet since the new college football game came out during our visit. At the same time, a couple of us needed to remain connected to work, and we had no issues with the speed or connection of the service provided. Our 25.5 ft boat could fit on the dock with plenty of room. We were just a few minutes from Homosassa Springs and the waterfront dining along the Homosassa River. The location cannot be beaten. The house had fishing gear, kayaks, and many outdoor games/items to keep your crew busy. The hosts were very accommodating and gracious. They put together a lot of information about things to do in the area, including great dining and tour options. We enjoyed having a couple of cold beverages with them, as well.

Such an amazing home located in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a getaway vacation. We can’t thank Kristin and Bob enough for their open communication and their genuine care and interest in us as their guests. They epitomize “Southern hospitality”. The house is fully furnished, beautifully decorated, and spacious enough to accommodate our family of 9. The dock on the back was large enough to support our 24’ boat and allowed quick access to the gulf for fishing. If you are looking for your next place to stay I highly recommend this home.

This home was perfect for our family getaway. We docked our pontoon boat at the house which was easy access and well structured. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The hosts had excellent communication and were welcoming. We hope to stay here again!

We had an amazing extended weekend with family and friends here! The house was super cozy comfortable for a group of people. We were a few minutes away from restaurant, the springs, and about a 30 min drive to the gulf for scalloping! The host even brought us a second anchor because we didn’t have one on our boat for the springs. Great stay!
