    Awesome little place on the water with easy access to springs, gulf and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay at the Scalloping Shack. The description is mostly accurate but definitely bring your own snorkeling gear and spices. The price is right for that location and we would book again. Communication with Ulla and Clay was a breeze

    The house was awesome! Just what we had imagined! Close to Crystal River to swim with the manatees. Plus, we were able to kayak from the property to the springs! Such a fun location/trip!

    We stayed 5 nights and loved every moment . The house is located in the most convenient area of Homosassa. Perfect for a quick ride to the spring or gulf. The house is very well equipped with comfortable beds, and perfect outdoor amenities. We love laying on the porch listening to the rain. We can’t wait to come back and stay another time. The host were so friendly and accommodating.

    The house is as pictured except for a new dock addition which was a plus. It was super convenient for access to the river but not so much for parking. There was no parking for our boat trailer which I missed in the description. Luckily there was plenty of parking at Florida Cracker. Overall it was a great place to stay and had everything we needed!
