Truly a Home Away From Home
Our second stay at the property since we loved it so much, this time for our wedding in the area! Shannon was beyond accommodating and the home is always so beautifullt decorated. It gave my new spouse and I such comfort being able to stay at this cozy cottage. Can't recommend enough!

This was our second stay and had a great time. The canal location provides easy access to the river and the home is the perfect getaway. Thank you our host, Shannon and the Rost family.

Beautiful!
Cozy home in excellent location in Old Homosassa. Super clean and well stocked. Especially enjoyed the light show on the front yard oak tree! Spent a lot of time at porch bar watching mullet jumping and heron wading. Went to the Homosassa Wildlife State Park, ate at the Freezer and took a river ride on the Island Girl Cruise… highly recommend all. We had a wonderful time! Hope y’all can keep this beautiful place a secret ❣️

Wonderful stay!
Do not hesitate to book this home! We rented this home for Easter weekend, and had a wonderful stay. The home was immaculate. It is so nicely decorated as well and had absolutely everything we needed. Host Shannon was so good about communicating and check-in was seamless. The home is in very close walking distance to the water and several restaurants.

Perfect getaway
We had such an amazing time staying at your canal house. It was decorated so beautifully. We stayed around Easter and it was just perfect.The Easter basket and plastic eggs that was left for us was so sweet and the egg hunt that was already set up tor us was the cherry on top. The house itself was very well maintained. Very clean and the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. The kitchen and bathrooms were very stocked with everything you might need. The kayaks and bikes were an added bonus and was used a lot while we was there. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were so sweet snd helpful. Over all we LOVED this house and cannot wait to come back!

Nice family stay
Owners were very accommodating, and very easy to reach and communicate with . House was very clean close to the attractions we were coming to see. I’m also glad they had a box fan at the property so we did not have to bring ours.

Amazing month in a perfect home
My husband and I stayed for a month in this beautiful home away from home. We had high hopes, having driven by the property while visiting Homosassa last year, and it was even better than we imagined. Location, location, location! The house is in the perfect spot in Old Homosassa, walking distance to favorites (Florida Cracker Kitchen, the Freezer, the Shed/McCrae's) and right on a canal leading you to the all the wonderful highlights of the Homosassa River. Such a treat to be able to walk to lunch, dinner, a drink, music. The wonderful surprise was the wildlife in the backyard of this house -- daily visits by great blue heron and great egret. And a manatee swam up the seawall, nibbling awhile, raising its head. It was an amazing experience! Shannon was the perfect host! So responsive, and so welcoming. The TLC was evident everywhere in the home, and we loved our stay. We cannot wait to return next year! The house is comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Quaint Cottage in the Heart of it All
This cottage has everything you need for a nice stay in Homassassa! Communication was seemless with the owner. The location is ideal & close to everything, but you feel like you are away from it all.

Amazing!!!!
Amazing!!! That’s the only way to describe this property and owners. Had a hiccup with getting into the place but solved in less then 5 mins because of the quick response from the owner :) Property actually exceeded our expectations…. Kids were excited to sleep in their own beds after 2 weeks of sharing beds lol. Will definitely be back!
