We had a perfect weekend trip at this house! For my sons 6th birthday he wanted to go scalloping with his best friends. We had 2 families (4 adults/4 kids) and a dog and it was the perfect size!
There were multiple comments throughout the weekend on how pristine the house and appliances were. They had everything you would need in the kitchen and everything was kept SO organized.
Speaking of organized the shed was a dream. I told my husband to take notes,lol. The kids loved kayaking to the springs and fishing off the dock and trying to catch blue crabs (the dog also like the crabs).
We had a great stay and will most definitely book again for our next scallop adventure!
Our first attempt, but definitely not our last, at scalloping. We had a great time in Homosassa. Our contact, Nancy, was wonderful. The check-in / out process was super easy and the home was perfect for our party. Two families shared this house and experience together with no issues. It was perfect for us and the dock was suitable for two boats, but we did have to raft off of each other. It is such a beautiful location, the local restaurants and bars were incredible and the people were polite and friendly. There is so much to do if you love the outdoors and water. The only mistake we made was to not stay for a full week. It would have been nice to see more of the local establishments and spend some more time fishing. We mainly stayed in the scallop grounds, but we will extend next years trip to allow us to do more activities.I highly recommend this home and dealing with Nancy is a delightful experience. We will be back.

This is our second stay in this home and we just love everything about it; coffee or beer on the dock, kayaking early morning and practically having the lake to ourselves, barbecues and sitting around the fire pit in the back yard, central to restaurants and sightseeing, and only 5 minutes from a Publix! The house itself is so welcoming and exudes holiday vibes! It has absolutely everything you need, the hosts have really taken care to ensure you have enough to get you started, and they have kayaks, board games, most TV channels, and a helpful package of things to do and where to eat! House is always super clean and there are notes around the home to help you use the appliances! Coffee maker, toaster, air fryer, ice maker, all sorts of cookware and utensils, beach towels, hairdryers etc. We enjoyed being able to stay with our pups this time too, the fenced yard was perfect, and the tiled floor ensures no one else has to enjoy them!! Can’t recommend enough! We will be back again; as the title states this is our happy place and we always feel relaxed and refreshed when we leave!
We enjoyed the kayaks and sitting on the dock looking down the channel. It was a very relaxing stay.

We enjoyed our stay in this house very much. Sitting on the dock and looking down the canal was the best part. We enjoyed the kayaks and the large open living areas. The only negatives were that the third bedroom is a sunroom with the easiest access to the backyard and the kitchen lacked any extra spices, foil, etc that I feel people would leave behind after use.
The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
