Tranquil Waterfront Cottage. 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom. Sleeps 2

The kitchen was very nice. There was no cooktop in the kitchen but the outdoor grill was amazing.

We stayed for a long weekend to visit nearby parks and snorkel with manatees. The cottage is in a great location, about 10 minutes to Crystal River and 10 minutes to the Homosassa Wildlife Refuge (other direction). The owners gave us very specific directions and parking instructions (it could have been tricky to find without them). The cottage is very charming, kind of Funky Old Florida Bohemian. Lots of whimsy, very welcoming. The outdoors area is great, very peaceful sitting by the water and having morning coffee. If you're looking for something that is super modern and has a full kitchen this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for something off the beaten path with tons of character and charm, this is it!

We were fortunate that the weather held out for us and we spent most of our time on the water. Looking forward to staying again

There are so many lovely things to say about this property. Quiet, beautiful and the owner has added so many small touches that you feel like a guest in their home! It rained the whole time we visited, so we did not get to use the Kayaks, but we will be back next year and hope for better weather. Can't wait to explore this area more! Thank you for a great weekend !

Lovely little cottage and a crystal clear creek. We were fortunate to see a manatee just after we arrived. What a thrill. Great little property. Will visit again.

Tranquil is an apt description of this property. The cottage itself is charming, and the neighborhood is peaceful. The back door of the cottage opens onto a patio and then a canal. The great thing about this canal is that there is forest on the other side of the water. The water is clear. The mullets were easy to see (but harder to catch). It was the perfect two night getaway for us.

Amazing getaway for kyaking and romance

An unexpected beauty! Cottage sits on corner of two small spring fed rivers. Quiet, Serene, Heaven! We had everything we needed, and if we did need something, we just called and owners brought to us. Pedal Boat, kayaks, canoe, fishing gear ready for us to explore the rivers (grilled Blue Catfish! yummy). We actually found an open gurgling spring! Our last day, we watched a 3 foot juvenile gator swim in front of us. it kept coming back and watching us as we watched it! There is an Emu farm at entrance of lake (we took canoe to get there) We never felt threatened by the wildlife, although I am positive there are some big gators around. This place is PERFECT for couples! I consider it extremely romantic. We usually do not ever return to same place twice. However, we are anxious to return here!

I loved all the attention to detail. This host was over and beyond. The antique touches were delightful even down to ceramic dutch boy holding my soap. It was a museum of delights. We took the canoe (provided) down the canal to open waters where we watched sunset over the water. Many kayak opportunities close by.

We recently stayed 7 nights at this cute place! Right on the water with canoe, paddleboat and kayaks for you to use. The emu farm right down the river was neat to see everyday on our adventures. So quiet and relaxing but everything you need within a few minute drive. Debra and Dennis were awesome and responsive. Very clean place and decorated very cute! Would highly recommend! Explored all the local parks and trails. The Biscuit Barn and the Freezer are places to eat that you don't want to miss!

Cutest little cottage! Location perfect to visit springs in the area. Wonderful stay

Always a wonderful stay, the place is beautiful the bed is comfy. It is our favorite place to stay. We were very blessed to see manatees in the canal behind the house. It's hard to describe in words how beautiful the inside of this place is. Truly like a dream. And the hosts are always on top of everything.

Great place to stay, really enjoyed the area. Host was great would stay again. Thank you so much!!!

Our 3rd visit here and it never disappoints

I enjoyed my stay very much. It was a much-needed getaway quiet time on the river kayaking a couple times a day. I would definitely recommend this property.

Id have to say this was a pleasant surprise. Beautiful place, and so much to do right on property. If you enjoy the water, access is right behind you, and kayaks are providedAs for the cottage, very clean and welcoming. Thank you, we willBe sure to book again!

The cottage is a nature lovers paradise!!! & we plan on staying there again!!!

We loved our stay! The hosts are soooo welcoming and helpful. I'm sure I have never been greeted by handwritten letter from the hosts with places to go, eat, and shop. They check in with us and suggested outings. The house is so cute and perfect for us for this experience. Yes, sitting in the backyard at night by the river is a bit like being in Jurassic Park with the sounds and movements of nature all around, but that's exactly what you get and want with a Crystal River experience. Thank you! We hope to be back. Best wishes to our hosts!

Enjoyed the stay.

This cute cottage was everything we hoped for and more! Our favorite part was watching the sea otters swim by. They have kayaks that we used to paddle down Margarita Grill. We docked the kayaks and ate at the restaurant. On the way we saw manatee, turtles, fish, and so many birds. We also saw the emu and llamas at Emu Island. There's also fishing poles you can use. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals except for the food. There's a grill outside, coffee maker with k cups and creamer, and cold bottles of water in the refrigerator. The wifi and Roku worked great! We could tell that the owners put a lot work into making this place a comfortable, memorable, enjoyable, worry-free, holiday oasis. The location and extra amenities make it an incredible value! We will definitely be back!

It is always clean and it is always an amazing trip. This trip we even had a dolphin sighting.

Absolutely loved this little spot! We saw manatees, otters, sting rays and more. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The house was wonderful and clean. Just the little relaxing getaway we’d been looking for.

Could use some deep cleaning. Nice cottage. Loved the decor.

Best nature coast vacation rental in Homosassa for couples wanting to escape it all! We have stayed in this lovely home twice now and we will be visiting again. The manatees swimming through the backyard, fish,turtles and we seen a baby black tip shark this time. It’s really exciting to just turn the spot light on out back on the dock around 9pm and just watch all the wildlife. Even the squirrels and raccoons are entertaining to watch. Very peaceful and smelled so clean when we walked through the door. There are so many antique and thrift shops around the area you could spend a rainy day enjoying that. We took a couple hour drive to peace river for a day to look for fossils in the river. Found many sharks teeth and prehistoric fossils if your into that it is a beautiful river and to find an area to sift for cheap I recommend Brownsville Park and pay 2 dollars for parking. The owners to this property are right next door which is convenient but honestly you don’t even know they are there the back yard is very private. If you take the gheenoe out you will almost always see manatees it seems. If your not having any luck paddle out to the middle and just patiently wait a few moments with your paddles out of the water in silence to hear one coming up for air. They seem very curious so they will come close. I would recommend this house to anyone who loves nature and privacy.

You will enjoy your stay here. Such a quaint place. We didn’t want to leave. Right in the middle of everything, restaurants and activities. The hosts were fabulous. They left information and brochures for all the spots to visit. The bed was comfy. We saw lots of fish, an otter swam by, circled back and poked his head up to look at us. We also saw the neighborhood albino peacock. It’s very quiet and restful. We will definitely come back! Thank you Debbie and Dennis!

This cottage is a tranquil, beautiful peace of paradise. Located on a large corner lot with inviting seating on different spots along the stream. The inside is perfect for a couple get-away with many helpful necessities. We used the paddle boat with paddles for a short water trip. It is very convenient to Homosassa Springs state park and restaurants abound. Only downside is I wish we could have stayed longer.

Cozy cottage. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful time here. The property was so cute. Just as pictured. The owner, Dennis, couldn’t have been nicer. It was so peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside and watching the wildlife. We saw a family of otters, lots of fish and the neighborhood white peacock, Princess. She was beautiful. It was definitely a great place to stay.

The host was very responsive. Cabin was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again if we're in the area

Absolutely wonderful place to stay!First night we watched a Bard Owl Fish. Everyday the water was bussing with life, too many fish to count. The last morning we saw young manatees and a loon. The cottage is perfect and has all the amenities to make you comfortable and feel welcomed. The location is perfect.

Love your cottage. We have stayed with you before and always enjoy coming back. Such a peaceful place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage

Cottage was clean & cozy

5/5 overall an amazing stay/mini vacay!

This was one of our many stays here and everything was excellent as usual. My favorite place to go and relax and get away from the stresses of life.

Very clean, beautiful location well equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were very friendly and answered our questions via message quickly.

It was dark upon arrival making it challenging to find but luckily the owners were home to direct me, as they reside nextdoor. The cabin felt very welcoming and clean, beautifully decorated. Owners are very sweet. Motion sensor lights would be beneficial for at night. Sadly the majority of the time I was there (2 weeks) the water was very low so I could not use the kayaks. It was unusually cool as well. I was hoping to see more wildlife during my stay but did get to meet the Woodstork (s) that visits. The cabin is perfect for a shorter stays, however for longer ones, a few things to consider. No stove/oven (there is a Ninja Air Fryer and some electric skillets), mini fridge, no on-site laundry, no ice or enough space to store a bag of ice. Description says there is a larger fridge with ice out back but there wasn’t. Also no hair dryer. Had I known I would have brought my own. A strainer and some food storage containers would be helpful for the kitchen as well. Overall my stay was comfortable and pleasant. Loved being so close to Crystal River as well as the wildlife state park. Conveniently located close to restaurants and stores. Serene and quiet.

This locations is great for personal craft river access, manatee viewing, natural dock area, and relaxing back yard environment. We thoroughly enjoyed it. WiFi was slow but we didn’t have to have it. Thanks for this great VRBO!

Great stay and great location. Very clean. Comfortable beds and amenities were great. Would stay here again.

Great place, a couple items could have been better: mattress way too soft, floor was not clean, needed mopped and ghost ants all over sink and counter.

Hosts were very nice

Excellent place to get away from hustle and people. Is now our get away.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this waterfront cottage. It's a great place for a weekend getaway and is close to MANY Florida Springs attractions (we visited Seven Sisters while here). We found the site very relaxing and I appreciated that there were multiple vessels already in the water available for a quick paddle on the Halls River, which we took advantage of using the canoe at the property. There is also a fantastic restaurant just down the road called Wallace's which had great ambiance and great service--we visited them both nights that we stayed at the cottage. And although we did not bring our dog this time, the property is very dog-friendly and you can close the main gate after you drive into the yard to keep your pup corralled (just keep in mind that there is no fence along the water). The only thing that would make this property better would be a stove and dishwasher, which would facilitate a longer stay. That said, there are some smaller appliances available for cooking, as well as an outdoor grill. All in all, this is definitely a rental that I would return to again for short stays, and I intend to!

What a quaint cottage nestled in a slice of heaven. Very clean, very attentive hosts and close to everything. If you love the outdoors, this is the perfect place. Cant wait to book again.

Wonderful cottage to stay in. Clean and cozy. Owners Dennis & Debra are there if you need them. Great time!

I spent 3 nights at the cottage and wished I could have stayed longer. The property is very peaceful and exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed seeing a beautiful white peacock on the property grounds and a short canoe ride led us by an emu/alpaca farm. Enjoyed fishing, using the grill and nearby restaurants. This is definitely a property I would like to rent again.

The property was amazing, very comfortable and quiet. The mix of old and new was incredibly done. The creek behind the house was peaceful and fun to look for animals.

Beautiful property, clean comfortable house with everything you need for comfort perfect for dogs with fenced in yard.

The cottage is nicely decorated. Very cute and comfy! Jim fished the entire time & caught a lot of blue gill. The water is clear & you can watch the fish swim by. The property is lovely. If traveling with your pet it is perfect. Fenced in no leash required! We had a lovely time.

Peaceful pretty cottage. Enjoyed every minute here.

We had an amazing time as always. The place looked amazing with all the changes made. Will definitely recommend this place and we will be back.

Everything was great

Cute cottage, very clean, quiet and peaceful. Very relaxing to be on a little creek & even enjoyed a paddle boat ride.

The house was perfect for me and my dogs. The fenced in yard was just the right size, and the water behind the house was beautiful. The house was a little hard to find since it's kind of hidden, but access was very easy once the owner helped out.

Loved the cottage, enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night listening to the frogs and crickets, very peaceful. Totally enjoyed the water access kayaked multiple times.

This little cottage is absolutely adorable. Off the beaten path and very quiet and peaceful. We were provided with everything we needed. Had a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely recommend.

Very beautiful peaceful place. If you're not sure about this one, trust me it's THE one. Had fun fishing and feeding the turtles. We took the canoe out and went to the lake, saw a couple of otters playing and emu island was a very very nice surprise. The bed was super soft and everything felt inviting. The cottage is a really nice size with a lot of beautiful lighting. Even though it doesn't have a stove it literally has everything else that you would ever need, plus the larger refrigerator outside is a really nice touch. The detail put into this place is really amazing, the lamps are gorgeous and the bathroom is beautiful. All around a definite 10/10. Worth every penny.

Cottage at the end of the road, just like in a Nicholas Sparks book adorable secluded, surrounded by nature. Hosts were only a message away if I needed anything. when I did venture out everything, including a beautiful Spring was only nine minutes away. The little yellow cottage is a definite go back again

Very cute and quiet cottage. Very clean and welcoming. Everything in the cottage worked well. We had a very good time staying there. We had fun using the canoe, but the pedal boat didn't seem to work right. I would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family.

The property was very private and peaceful. It was equipped with everything we needed and very clean.

Perfect in every way

When you walk in the door you can tell the owners love this property. From the decor to the furnishings to the little extras like coffee, creamer etc. We stay in a lot of VRBO properties and you can tell the difference between owner managed and a property management property. Dennis and Debra's darling cottage is almost magical. The location is perfect for being a tourist or doing absolutely nothing. The owners give great driving instructions. Our dog loved it!

We came looking for a quiet weekend getaway and the property did not disappoint. The location is off the beaten path, yet very close to many of the local sites and activities. The outside is very accommodating with plenty of seating to watch the variety of fish swim by in the creek. There was use of kayak, canoe and paddle boat to enjoy. The inside was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. I had no intention of cooking (LOL!) so the limited kitchen facilities was not an issue...no stove or inside full-size refrigerator, nor coffee maker, only Kuerig. The shower had great water temperature and flow, just a little tight for our liking. Overall a very good stay!

I don’t know where to start, everything was perfect! The Cottage was very clean, comfortable bed. The decor was amazing, from the chandeliers to the crocheted doilies! The property outside is equally amazing. The owners have thought of everything. We will definitely be back.

The place is amazing. Quiet and remote . Loved it

This is the perfect out of the way place to stay. It is clear the owners have put a lot of effort in making the cottage enjoyable. The little touches were much appreciated. The outdoor area, beside the small lazy river, is beautiful and relaxing.

Beautiful yard, waterfront. Cottage so cute and cozy cottage, very comfortable, but a little too close to the highway, we could hear the traffic

The water in the backyard is why I selected this place, and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful, beautiful canoe trip from the cottage up and down Halls River. There were lots of fish and we found some manatees. They came to look at us and swam around the canoe.

Cottage is absolutely adorable. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is a cozy well maintained cottage. It had everything we were looking for and more. We seen a manatee our first morning from our backyard. We seen so many fish a big alligator snapper an armadillo, wood stork the friendly neighboring white peacock that roams the street. The manatees really can’t get up the waterway in the backyard when it’s low tide but a quick trip to the open water right outside of the canal and a little patience we seen manatees both times we went out and it was so neat they followed us around in the canoe. We also seen sting ray and river otters while on the canoe. We seen no alligators so our last night we took the canoe out with flash lights and right outside of the canal in open water we seen lots of glowing eyes swimming across the water or hiding in the grass. Such a neat experience we will be back to this house on our next trip to Crystal River.

The cottage is perfect for a nice get away. This is the second time we have stayed here and are pkanning an additional visit in June.

The property is directly on the spring water. Many different water craft are available for use anytime. Fishing was successful for many catches. There is not a stove or oven but many cooking options are available ie. electric griddle, tiaster oven/air fryer,.toaster, microwave.

Lovely, cozy cottage with a huge fenced yard and water on 2 sides. Quiet neighborhood and hosts Dennis and Debra are right next door and eager to help out with anything. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate most of my visit but it was still a great place to relax.

We had a wonderful week at this property! It was very clean, quiet and had everything that we needed for a nice stay. It was nice having the canal nearby for watching the wildlife and fishing. It was very comfortable for the 2 of us plus our dog. I would stay there again.

We stayed here in December to celebrate our son turning 11. It was perfect for us. We fished, and even saw the manatee right from the house. Other than enjoying a wonderful seafood dinner, we ate all meals at this house. We booked a swim with the Manatee tour with River Ventures (JJ was the captain and Shelia was our tour guide). Would recommend this trip!!!

We had a great 2 night stay in the cottage. Its a good size and everything was provided to be self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to see a manatee, otter, lots of turtles including a snapping turtle and catch lots of fish. Grocery stores and eateries a short drive away.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was adorable and absolutely perfect for my husband and me and our 2 dogs. The hosts were super helpful sharing information about activities and restaurants in the area and the cottage was stocked with thoughtful supplies, like coffee and bottles of water. 10 out of 10!

Canoe/kayaks(ride on and ride in/paddle boat… fabulous spot for anyone to stay. Friendly owners. I wanna go again, but it has to be at least a week…. 3 days wasn’t enough for us. Lovely grounds.. house is cute. Big fridge outside… I hope the wife emptied it. 5 outta 5….10 outta 10.

What an adorable cottage tucked away in Homosassa's friendly community. It has access to lakes with a canoe, kayaks and a paddle boat provided

Will definately be returning for future stays. We loved our stay.
