About this house rental
Homosassa has been called the ultimate river town with its old Florida feel and happening waterfront venues with great food & live music. Come experience all it has to offer in this waterfront retreat right off the Homosassa River on a desirable wide, deep canal. This newly renovated open floor plan home is ideally located around the corner from where the Halls River empties into the Homosassa River. The house is situated right on the water so you are just a few steps away from enjoying a day on the water either boating, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, scalloping or paddle boarding; or you can just relax & take in the views on the dock or back screened porch. Perfect location for walking to waterfront restaurants and shopping, or a short paddle to Homosassa Springs, Halls River and endless sightseeing opportunities, or a short drive to Publix. If solitude is what you want, head to Halls River which is primarily undeveloped & wild along almost its entire length. This is an excellent spot for the avid bird watchers.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious great room with knotty pine cathedral ceilings and open windows across the back of the home for a spectacular view of the water. The open kitchen plan boasts a large center island with extra seating, gas stove, built-in oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer/toaster oven combo, coffee makers (drip & K-cup), separate pantry and plenty of space for entertaining. Right off the kitchen is a separate covered patio where you can whip up a meal on the gas Blackstone Griddle and dine outdoors on the picnic style dining set.
A separate bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds, television & a full bath have been recently completed for an additional area for the older kids to hang out. (Please see weight restrictions which apply to the top bunk beds.)
Enjoy the convenience of a private boat ramp to launch your watercraft and secure to the 52 foot dock. Launch your kayak or paddle board from the launcher located on the dock. After a day of fishing, clean your fresh catch on the fish cleaning station. Rinse the day off in the convenient outdoor shower.
There are 7 kayaks & a canoe available for your use.
* Red Snapper Season - Dates still open every weekend (Friday to Sunday) thru November 30th including Thanksgiving Day
* Scallop season for 2025 has not yet been announced. In years past, it runs from July 1st through September 24th.
* Manatee season is now in the cooler months where you can see hundreds in the river and spring areas

from light and airy nautical open space, the host has not left one thing unturned. It's a home away from home. Every detail and every thing you might need is taken care of. the house is comfortable, tons to do, convenient to nearby Crumps, marina, and open water on the Gulf Coast. Perfect stay and fits everyone comfortably.

We've stayed in many VRBO properties over the years, and this one stands out as the best by far. It truly feels like a resort. The property is impeccably clean, exceptionally well-stocked, and perfectly located on the water. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and there are plenty of towels. Even the small touches, like having coffee, tea, spices, and creamers readily available, made a big difference.
We hosted a big fish fry with friends, and they were equally impressed by the beautiful decor, comfortable couches, large dining table, and the abundance of kitchen accessories. This place exceeded all our expectations. The owner was super friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience.
Additionally, the availability of kayaks for use at any time and the proximity to the Springs made our stay even more enjoyable. We will bring our boat next time as there is so much more to experience. We can't say enough good things about this property. Highly recommended!

A few years back, we started an annual trip to Homosassa Springs. Four old couples, four little boats and NO kids/grandkids. We always have a good time. This year, we discovered this amazing house. It was perfect for us. Plenty of space, perfectly clean and extremely well-furnished. The dock had room for all four jonboats. The large screened porch was great for bug-free evenings. We saw several manatees swimming through the canal and right by our dock. We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this property.

This was my second time staying at knotty times and it didn’t disappoint. The house has all the amenities you could ask for and the newly renovated bonus room turned out great.
We especially loved the location, the cleanliness and the comfortable beds.
We will be back!

What a beautiful house! The dock outside held views of local wildlife, access to fishing and kayaking, and it was was so peaceful. The house is close to two wildlife refuges that allowed us to see multiple manatees! Owners of the house were kind and accommodating--they even offered to put up a Christmas tree for us! I highly recommend this property for your family get away.

The house was amazing for our group; I would highly recommend it! It was very clean and spacious, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’d need. The beds are comfortable as well. They had kayaks ready for us at the house which we took out for a quick paddle to the springs. The location is great and easy to get around by boat or land. The host was very helpful and accommodating!

Our group of 8 (2 families) had a great time at this house. It had everything we needed - kitchen is fully stocked, amazing Blackstone grill, kayaks, and crab trap. Dock was perfect for our boat and cleaning scallops. Even enjoyed the outside shower. And finally there was a welcome basket that went above and beyond. We will definitely be staying here again.

Homosassa is our favorite somewhat annual family escape and this home made it extra special. Fully equipped and very comfortable we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you to the hosts for providing this gem! Hopefully we’ll be back next year.

From start to finish this was an amazing property to stay at. Patty responded immediately to all questions or issues that we had. The house was stocked with everything we needed. There was a lovely basket of snacks that the kids were very excited to see. With nine of us traveling, there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep.
The location was perfect. Publix was a short car ride away. We were close to a spring as well as restaurants, gas for the boat, shucking stations, and not too long of a ride to get to our scalloping destination. We fished right off the dock and were able to go for a short boat ride for plenty of other fishing spots. Party and her husband left kayaks, a canoe and even a crab trap for us to use. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer.

The location is perfect if you’re looking to be on the river. Beautiful home well stocked kitchen and the black stone grille outside made cooking breakfast and dinner enjoyable. The home has plenty of room to spread out and easily accommodated my family of 10. It’s located right around the corner from Margarita Grill and within paddling distance of the spring itself. The house has several kayaks and a canoe, Which my children found very entertaining. Also the owner was very accommodating and local should I have needed anything. The neighbors were exceptionally friendly and even invited my family over for fireworks and s’mores. We are defiantly looking forward to our next visit.
