Homosassa, Florida
Welcome to Let’s Live Canal Cottage in Old Homosassa!
Our three bedroom, two bath cottage is located on a canal off of the Homosassa River, with nearby gulf access. Bring your small boat or golf cart to enjoy the area.
There is a boat ramp at McRaes’s down the road and your small boat can be stored at our dock. Culvert access to the Homosassa River. This property also includes use of five kayaks and two bicycles.
Get in your kayak and go to dinner!
We are just minutes away on a beautiful walk to The Shed at McRae’s, The Freezer, The Monkey Bar and Monkey Island.
There are so many activities that are so easily accessible from this property.
Come enjoy the manatees and everything the nature cost has to offer! Enjoy this little slice of heaven!
**Guests must agree to a waiver upon booking for use of the dock, kayaks, and canal as requested by our homeowner's insurance. We are required to have a waiver for use of water and water related activities to maintain coverage. Waiver is available under "rental agreement" tab in this listing.
Optional pull out bed guests (in master) available for small extra fee of $10. Please let us know upon booking if this will be needed as this bed is not prepared prior to all check ins and extra linens are not provided with stay.
Any guest staying from 7-8 guests will be evaluated on a per booking basis and an additional charge of $25 per guest per night will be added.
Dishonesty regarding the number of guests that will be staying on the property will not be tolerated. ESPECIALLY if the number of guests exceeds the capacity limits that are set for the house. These limits are set for a reason. We do not provide air mattresses for extra bedding as the number of beds already in the house are ample for the guest capacity. Thank you.
️Docking at our cottage: One vessel can be docked in the back of our home at a maximum of 15 feet. We are located beyond a height restricted tube/culvert, therefore vessels with center consoles, fixed canopies, and towers cannot pass through the culvert to dock at the property. Experienced boaters who are familiar with their vessel and tides may fit a pontoon through the culvert, however, we are ideally set up for docking a fishing skiff. We are located two minutes from two boat ramps and ample daily parking if our dock cannot accommodate your vessel.
*Please contact me about the size of your boat that you plan to dock before you book! Let’s make sure it fits and can access the river through the culvert!
We are also a pet free property!
Please note that scallop season is a very busy time at the cottage as well as in the area. We often host parties of six at the cottage and are generally fully booked from early July through August. We work diligently to try to accommodate early check in requests, but also always want to make sure the house is ideal for our next check in and our guests are happy. Early check ins and late departures for especially larger groups during this time are more difficult to accommodate. Thank you for understanding!
Please keep your party to registered guests only on the property. We do not allow extended visits and events/parties with guests who are not staying on the property. Please understand that this is an insurance liability. We also like to keep our amazing neighbors happy *Dishonesty regarding pets and smoking inside the home is not permitted. A $250 fee will be incurred for additional cleaning expenses. Please read full description of our property before booking.
We would love to reiterate that our family absolutely loves our guests. We enjoy sharing our vacation home with others and are so happy when our guests enjoy it as much as we do. We are a smaller cottage in a quiet neighbor and not a large palace. The description of our home is very accurate with bed sizes, pictures of each room, and we are very clear about guest capacity limits as we do not want our guests to be uncomfortable during their stay. There are larger homes in the area that do fit larger parties. We, however, enjoy the comfort of our cozy cottage.
While you are staying at our property, we want you all to be comfortable and have an enjoyable time. As your host, I do give our guests every opportunity for something to be addressed or rectified during your stay; whether that be number or towels or more blankets, we are happy to help you! Please before reviewing give us the opportunity to provide you with what you may need. It is important to us, but we cannot fix an issue that we are unaware of. We are people too and understand everyone’s needs may be different.
Thank you so much!
Kindly,
The Rost Family
Wonderfully decorated and cozy cottage, very roomy for inside. Screened porch comply space to watch canal. Great BBQ area. Mostly we spent time in the kayaks exploring all the common, and some of the less one en areas are f the Homosassa river and tributaries. The bike option would be cool to try even though we ran out of time. Shannon, the host is a great source of ideas on if you don’t know the area :)
Very clean, comfy cottage right on the canal. We weren’t there long but we’re able to take a kayak out to explore for a couple hours. Owner very welcoming and helpful.
I am so concerned for your home and town We are still rebuilding from Ian and will for years I’m so sorry We were hoping to be back in fall and will keep tabs as everyone rebuilds! You are an awesome VRBO host!
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.
Great host. Great property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Shannon and family.
Cute and cozy cottage. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the board games. It had everything that we needed. We will definitely book again.
We all had a great time. The house was very nice. We loved it. Would definitely stay there again.
This property is well maintained. Very clean and cute! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Host/Hostess was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions or needs we had.
The host was very responsive and everything was very clean.
We enjoyed this relaxing quiet space to sit on the back porch talking and drink coffee together. Much needed!
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was very good with details about the house. Good instructions for everything. Very clean. Enjoyed the kayaks. And great location.
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!
We stepped out and decided to take our crew for a Christmas vacation since they are getting older and couldn’t have picked a better rental let alone area to spend the time in! And to our host, We thank you for everything! Holly Villota and Crew ♥️
We had such an amazing time thank you for sharing your home!
Absolutely loved the house. Very nice and accommodating. Loved everything about the place. The host awesome and very helpful:). Ha the only thing wrong is it’s always rented out. Definitely would stay again . Great atmosphere and very homey ❤️
Charming and lovely property nestled in Homosassa, was much bigger inside than the exterior would lead you to believe. Well put together and owners were very receptive to questions and making our stay that much further above and beyond. Will return again!
Although it rained the entire weekend we enjoyed our stay greatly. With a family event just around the corner it was the perfect location, and near McRea's and Florida Cracker. The place was decorated for the season with lights and all amenities were available.
Great location, great communication & service, beautiful home
Very clean, very nicely decorated! Walking distance , or a golf cart ride to restaurants and Marina.
We enjoyed the house and the location! The property had everything we needed! We also loved how it was decorated! We felt safe and at home!
Perfect spot for relaxing and close for entertainment. The house was so cute and i can't wait to stay there again.
This well-established waterfront neighborhood was very peaceful and pleasant during our brief visit. Our family had a delightful time here!
Everything was just wonderful during our stay. Lovely home!
We had a wonderful stay at the Lets Live Now Cottage… every detail was thought of and Shannon and her family were wonderful hosts. It’s a very peaceful neighborhood, and a darling and immaculately cared for piece of property on the river. My coffee tasted so much better in the morning on the porch enjoying nature out by the canal. The kayaks included in the rental were also a fantastic touch. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time and got some much needed relaxation during our stay. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Shannon and family!
