About this house rental
Our house has large picture windows overlooking the pristine waters and marshes all the way to the gulf. There are terraces to sit out and enjoy the sun and the sunset which happens right out front. There’s a private dock that takes you to the waters edge, where you can canoe or fish from and to our own island with a picnic table. There are a couple of public boat ramps, the closest being 1/2 mile away, and there is plenty of space to park a boat trailer on our property. The water depth at our dock varies w the season, but there's an extension that provides plenty of depth and a place to tie off (dock length is 16'). During the summer we have at least 1' of water at low tide and the bottom is mud. You can easily get to our home from the boat ramp and to the gulf.
The house has 3 nice sized rooms with 4-poster beds and ceiling fans and a 4th bedroom with a futon double-bed (and a desk if you need to work). The Library, is a common room between the rooms where you can sit and read or enjoy the view and some solitude. While in the living room and dining room you can enjoy TV or talking with your friends while preparing a meal in the open kitchen. There is a Florida room that runs parallel to the living / dining room. With 3,650 square feet of space, this house is spacious enough for large groups, family reunions and entertaining with friends.
If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is well prepared for you.
There is lots of land and privacy for you to stroll around the property.
If you are looking to unwind and enjoy nature, this place will afford you the peace and quiet.
Homosassa has many water activities on offer, such as, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, air boating, scalloping, swimming with the manatees and going for a swim in the gulf’s warm waters. There are also many homestyle restaurants with an emphasis on fresh seafood. There are also a number of attractions to keep you, your family and friends busy.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Incredible private property to spend the weekend. We were able to get our sea ray from the public ramp at Homosassa to the house by way of the Perry creek, and some local knowledge. Draft at dock was a few feet deep. Wonderful property. Peaceful stay. We were able to explore a new area by boat and had a great experience at this beautiful and unique house.

Everything we hope for and more. Will definitely be going back.

We were in Florida to attend our son's graduation in Gainesville. Entire family stayed at this property. This is a great house in a peaceful, secluded location. Only two minor complaints were that the airboats sometimes came unnecessarily close to the dock (not the property owners fault), and that there are maintenance issues that need to be addressed, such as non-working refrigerators and rotten deck boards and railings, but not to the point of neglect, just a never-ending process for the property manager I'm sure, with storms, etc. Nothing bad enough to make me not want to stay there again. In fact, I wish we could have stayed a few more days. Brand new gas grill on the deck was nice, and lots of living areas to spread out in. I've already recommended this property to my family members and would not hesitate to book it again!

This is our 2nd time staying here the property views are beautiful. It was nice having restaurants and things to do close by!

This property is so large that it can easily accommodate a large group. Large dining areas, multiple mixed used rooms. Indoors was clean and well stocked. Outdoors was rustic, weathered, but had a large lot for activities. The two accesses to water were a plus too. But bring your bug spray. Personally would have liked brighter lights inside at night and am not a fan of Roku. That said, our stay was relaxing and pleasant- just what we needed!

House is very large and would accommodate a lot of people. We loved how quiet it was. We did not have a boat but next time we will bring one to dock right at house. The dock walk way is in need of some repair.
5.0 / 5.0
Very private location that is also less than 15 minutes to a grocery store and 5 minutes to a few restaurants. The property has seen some wear over time but is filled with unique furnishings and comfortable beds. We loved being there. I hope we can go back!

Great location for a vacation with clean, spacious house that’s well stocked and could use a little maintenance (very quick response when ac didn’t work). We hope to come back soon.

We spent 1 week enjoying Old Homosassa with our 5 kiddos. My favorite part about our entire vacation was relaxing in the sunroom or dock watching the birds. My kids loved the tire swing, games, and puzzles. We spent one whole day using the two kayaks. The home was secluded, the decor was unique, and the book selfs were interesting to browse. The master bedroom’s view was amazing!

Such a beautiful setting to enjoy nature! The house has tons of room to spread out. We used the kayaks right off the dock to paddle our way to Crumps Landing for lunch. Good restaurants and shopping in the area. The sunsets dazzle!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very large with many different areas for privacy as well as the big common room to come together. Everything was very clean and the beds were big and comfortable. The grounds are as lovely as the house, with numerous birds, fish and even a sea otter! We particularly enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks we rented from David, the very helpful property manager. We are already planning our return!

Great place for a family Thanksgiving get together. Quiet and peaceful. Dock for fishing and kayaking. Massive grounds to explore.
3.0 / 5.0
Wonderful location the house has plenty of space unfortunately it wasn’t super clean. One toilet had feces in it. Trash cans were full. Back door did not lock, and the decks and stairs are in poor condition and definitely need to be taken care of right away. If you love fishing, or just peace and quiet, it’s your place the stars at night are amazing with a little TLC. This could be a wonderful place for years to come.

This place is huge, old style decor throughout and all the wood working around the place was cool to see. Great fishing from the island lots of reds, stingrays and sail cats. Crabs are plentyful from this spot too. All in all we decided as a group this was our best rental location yet and priced perfectly. We will be looking ahead to book for our next monthly getaway. Outdoor decks and down stairs lounging areas are great for hanging out.

If you would like to experience an Old Florida that most don't even know exists, this is the place for you. The views from around the house are stellar. The home comfortably accommodates a group of eight with plenty of spaces to spread out. The exterior decking is not pristine, but the interior is well kept. If you bring a boat be sure to watch the tides as there are shallow spots to the gulf and river that are not marked. The kitchen was for the most part well stocked, but missing salt/pepper and coffee filters.

We will be back! Such a great spot in the beauty of old Florida!

We loved Charlie’s place!! This place was huge. I have never stayed in a rental that had so many amenities. . Everything I needed to do laundry was provided and The kitchen was equipped to feed a crowd of 50! I can’t say enough good things about this place. We spent 90% of our time outside and in the downstairs screened in area. We are already planning our next trip!!

Talk about an old Florida getaway! This property is much larger than pictured! Easily could have family, friends, and whoever else you would want with plenty of different rooms to entertain. The property is super isolated and quiet, we loved getting up to coffee and sitting out on the dock.
The location is great too, it's just a mile or so from downtown Homosassa, a super easy drive to a couple of cool local bars and food places, and just a little further to Homosassa Spring.
All in all it was a great stay! No major complaints! We are already planning to come back with a bigger group next time!

The property is amazing. Very secluded Old Florida.
Kayaked everyday in the backwaters. We were basically alone other than the occasional fisherman going by. We loved the place.

You won’t find anywhere as quiet and secluded in this area. House is bigger than it appears in the photos. It is decorated in Asian decor which is lovely but most of the furniture is uncomfortable to sit in. There is a fabulous view and sunsets are beautiful. We enjoyed the deck but again the furniture was not comfortable and needed some TLC. Overall our group was happy with our two weeks in Homosassa.

Large beautifully furnished house on a unique private locale on the water. We loved it

My husband, 3 year old and myself booked this house while visiting family in town. It was the perfect location. The dock was perfect for my 3 year old to explore and run up and down..... overall, the home was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We would definitely book this home again, and highly recommend to any one seeking a tucked away get-away!

This was our second stay and we still absolutely love it here! We would not want to be anywhere else in FL. Clean, spacious, and we can’t think of a better house to be comfortably in marsh nature.

Gorgeous, spacious home. So peaceful to just relax on the outside dock. There was so much to do at the house, we only left the house once to get blue crab chowder & grouper sandwiches at The Crab Plant (so good). We watched dolphins playing right off the dock. Explored the property and walked to the side island. Tire swing was fun. Enjoyed the screened in area below the house on a rainy day. This was our 2nd stay & this time we were able to appreciate the property more. Thank you so much!

The location was just what we were looking for--private, water access, and beautiful views! The home is spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed the interesting decorations from the local area and China. Recommend and would definitely stay again!

We truly loved our long weekend retreat. The property is beautiful. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but really only a couple minutes from Old Homosassa. If taking a boat, its shallow but doable if you don’t draft much. We just took it slow and easy until we figured out where to go. We will definitely be back.

The pictures do not do this property justice. It’s a wonderful place. Total privacy. Lots of space both inside and out. I don’t leave reviews but this place warranted it
4.0 / 5.0
This property is located in what feels like a remote and private part of Old Homosassa. The views overlooking the water and marsh are gorgeous and quite stunning. The house is a bit of a maze, but it has more than enough room for friends and families and is still extremely functional. The pictures don't do the master bedroom justice with the views out of the wrap around windows. The owner was extremely communicative and helpful with any question we had. If planning to keep a boat at the dock for the trip, definitely watch the tides and do your research as it can be very shallow getting out to the Homosassa River, but completely possible with the right knowledge of the waters.
2.5 / 5.0
The house, property and views are combined into the perfect relaxation package. Plenty of room to spread out indoors with a large, yet cozy, living space. The downstairs screened in area is a great place to hangout during the Florida afternoon rainstorms. Catching sunset from the rear sunroom, upper decks, or long boardwalk/dock are the perfect cap to the day. 10/10 will be back again.

relax and recharged
We have enjoyed Charlie house many times since 2020, and have loved it every time. This visit we were here with our friends family and they felt more relaxed and peaceful from this vacation then any other vacation rentals prior. We definitely look forward to being your guest again soon.

Hidden gem
The view simply cannot be beat. We had a wonderful stay. The dock and view are incredible. Beds are very comfortable, everything was clean and as we needed and the kitchen has all you need to cook in. There is even a second kitchen in the screened in porch under the house to cook up your fresh catch. We really enjoyed the game table and games but spent most of our time exploring the area or soaking in the view.

A month at our favorite vacation spot.
Words cannot describe how idyllic Charlie's Homosassa home is. This was our 3rd stay, and we'll look forward to future visits. If you like the Gulf Coast, and surrounding yourself with the ultimate in serenity and seclusion, this is place. The house is more like a palace, more room than you could believe. The top selling point to us is the very long boardwalk to your private floating dock. Too many plusses to enumerate here. I should mention that we feel Charlie has become a personal friend through our communications. We will always remember our trips to Homosassa as our finest rentals ever. Rick
