About this house rental

Welcome! This is where you can experience wild Florida while enjoying all your favorite comforts. Our completely remodeled home is on a canal just 200 feet away from the Halls River (note about the map below: our home is a few miles north, east of 98, from blue dot; near Love Honda). Located in a friendly residential neighborhood, this immaculate 3 bedroom 2 bath (plus upstairs loft) home is perfect for your year-round getaway. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas overlook the canal, with ample opportunities to watch otters, manatees, and birds as you drink your coffee.

We have a fully stocked kitchen, or take the kitchen outside and cook on the propane grill.

Three kayaks and a canoe are provided for your enjoyment, and you can put them in right at the dock. It’s about an hour to hour and a half kayak trip to excellent water front restaurants! If you bring your boat, there are multiple boat launches less than 10 minutes away - these launches are perfect area to access the Homosassa River and go scalloping. Boat access to our dock is limited to small, flat bottom boats due to the shallow nature of portions of the Halls River. Boat and boat trailer parking is provided on site.* The water in the canal is also is very clear and perfect for swimming.

For those of you who need to put in some hours for work, we have a desk available in the Fish Room, as well, as high speed internet.

Additionally, we are a short drive away from excellent restaurants, grocery stores, and local attractions. A bit further afield, Disney World is only a couple hours drive if you’d like to take a day trip.

We welcome large groups and families with young children! We have a pack n’ play and high chair for your convenience. Furry friends are also welcome, although we do limit it to two dogs, each under 30 pounds for a fee of $150. Please be aware that there are two big flights of stairs (one leading to the house, the other to the loft area). For safety, please do not leave any children or pets unattended, and please keep your dog on a leash.
For guests added peace of mind and security, we have cameras in the carport area and on the outside of the front door. (there are no cameras within the interior of the home)

We hope to welcome you to our home soon!

*Any boats up to 30ft, inquire for fees for anything larger

**Please note that booking a stay at our home implies your consent to abide by our rental agreement. It is your responsibility to read this rental agreement in full and give a copy to any guests or other persons who may enter our property at your request.

We loved the openness of this property. It let us enjoy visiting and talking while giving privacy to those who needed it. The covered parking was very helpful especially during summer storms. We enjoyed our stay very much!

This was a great place to stay, central to a ton of things. We were a large group (12 people) with young kids and had plenty of space in the house. The dock was a hit for fishing and kayaking/canoeing. Restaurants are close by, up to 15 min drive for some of them which provided nice views of the salt marshes. There are springs for swimming just up the road in Crystal River and beach access about 10 min away in the gulf. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels and blankets for when we needed them, and a nice firepit outside for s'mores nights with the kids. Definitely hit up the Ellie Schiller park just a few miles down the road to see manatees and other local wildlife! This was an ideal HQ for our vacation and we would definitely stay again!

From age 5 to age 68, we all had fun! Kayaking, manatees, fishing, and a large open homey place offered the perfect grt-together place. Convenient to stores and restaurants, it was a lovely place and area.

It is the second time we stayed at this lovely home and it won’t be the last. It really feels more like a home than a rental with fluffy towels and soft comforters. We love being on the water and they provide good quality kayaks and paddles. The house is situated on a quiet canal and within a few minutes on the water you are surrounded by nature and, if you are lucky like we were, dozens of manatees. Our stay was perfect and we will come back next year!

Had a real good time here. Place was really spacious. Everything here to cook great meals and kayaks and canoe were awesome. Only problem we had was couldnt figure how to get the light to come on until you were at bottom of stairs. Thank you for letting us stay. Wud highly recommend.
