Great location and space

The location can’t be beat! Within a short walk of historical landmarks, restaurants and the water. The unit is well stocked with plenty of bath towels, linens and kitchen supplies. The beds were incredibly comfortable as well. We had a lot of fun in the game room which also has a big fan and kept the space cool! The owners are very welcoming and responsive! Overall a great trip made better by this great VRBO!

Best stay in Homosassa

Second time staying, we enjoy the peacefulness of the property with close proximity to all the bars and restaurants! Well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and the garage game room is a fun addition, especially when it’s raining. Safe and quiet environment with short drive to the Freeze and MacRae’s - Perfect place to stay in Homosassa!

Great Family Rental!

This house is wonderful for a family vacation. Plenty of room and the bonus is the game room on the first level. We enjoyed being able to spend time watching the sports, playing the games and having our extended family visit while we were there. Perfect place to host a small family gathering. Host are very easy to coordinate the checkin. They communicate and respond to any request. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Very Nice Property

We have visited Homosassa several times and love going there. We’ve seen this property before and finally got to stay there, and it exceeded out expectations. As in the photos the property is very modern and the interior is very spacious. The interior has new fixture’s and the property has all of the amenities you need for your stay. Also, this property is very close to the places that we like to visit while in Homosassa, like the Old Mill Tavern and the Freezer. I will definitely stay at this property any time I visit Homosassa.

New Home in small town near crystal river

My husband is a stroke survivor and on his bucket list was to go to crystal river. As an asthmatic who was recovering from covid 2 months ago, I needed some R&R so I decided to take my husband and two daughters to crystal river. We booked this house because it was new and I couldn't take a chance with mold. It was a good decision. The owners resolved a few of the issues we had . The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked (bring your wine opener), the couch is comfortable. The master room is big and has a big closet, the other two rooms are small without closets but we made due. One thing I did not know was that the house was on a rather main street and there was cars/trucks noise. The back of the house has a stunning forrest view. I wished we didn't have to hear the cars. That is just about the location. The town is small. We went there for rest, we did a few hikes, we went to kayak in Crystal River, it is a perfect location for 2-3 days. We went for 6. But were happy to just chill and play ping pong in the cool play room they have. We opened the garage doors when we were there and because the weather was so fresh it was a delight. My only recommendations for the owners fix the lock from the small bedroom that share the master bathroom and remove the barn door from the bathroom, because it doesn't close to the end and it lacks in privacy. We have older kids, set some rules and made it work but I believe it would be a small expense and a huge improvement. Thank you for leaving plenty garbage bags, I keep people's homes clean and neat and some owners do not provide them, so this was a nice touch. Overall, I believe this is one of the best homes in the area and we build some good memories that we will cherish for a long time.

What a great place!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and as pictured. I was a little worried about the play room down stairs being to warm however there was a large fan that kept it surprising cool on a 95 degree day. It was close to the local amenities as well. The owners were very responsive and made check in and check out a breeze. We loved this place and will be back to stay!
