Welcome to Nature Coast Cottage, a completely renovated waterfront home in the heart of Homosassa. Rebuilt after Hurricane Helene, this beautiful home combines modern comforts with the charm of Old Florida and offers everything you need for the perfect fishing, scalloping, or family vacation.

Located on a deep freshwater canal with direct, unimpeded Gulf access, you’ll enjoy stunning river views and daily visits from manatees, dolphins, mullet, turtles, and countless birds. Whether you’re relaxing with your morning coffee or watching the sunset after a day on the water, this property was designed to help you slow down and enjoy Florida’s Nature Coast.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, open floor plan with two spacious master suites, beautifully updated bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for family meals. The home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests and offers multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, including a Florida room and a screened porch overlooking the water.

For boaters and anglers, this is the perfect home base. The property features an extensive seawall, three boat slips, a covered boathouse (lift not operational), a fish-cleaning station, and plenty of room to dock multiple boats. You’re only minutes from the Homosassa River, the Gulf of Mexico, waterfront restaurants, marinas, and some of Florida’s best fishing and world-famous scalloping grounds.

One feature guests absolutely love is the commercial ice machine, so you’ll always have plenty of fresh ice for coolers, drinks, and long days on the boat—no last-minute trips to the store.

After a day on the water, rinse off in one of the multiple showers, enjoy the convenience of dual water heaters, fire up the grill, and spend the evening making memories with family and friends.

Whether you’re chasing redfish, heading offshore, scalloping in the summer, kayaking with manatees, or simply looking for a peaceful waterfront getaway, Nature Coast Cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views.

    This home and location made for a perfect getaway to help my family unplug of our everyday busy lives. We would highly recommend the area as well as this host.

    This place is a winner. So close to the action and it's very close to relaxing too. House was very clean and had plenvirstty of space for everyone. This is my first VRBO rental. I can't say enough about the owners and their prompt replies. Zero issues here check with trip insurance because they are worthless and didn't refund us 1100 for a portion of the Trip we had to take off for due to Debbie. I strongly strongly strongly recommend using reputable travel insurance company and not VRBO. This has nothing to do with the owners just a word of caution.aboutnVRBOs trip insurance

    We totally enjoyed our stay. So many positives: 3 slips for boats, industrial ice machine, 2 refrigerators (one in garage), great screened porch and outside area for sitting. It was close to Publix (forgot several items), big enough dining area for 10 of us to eat together, and clean! Host was quickly responsive to an issue and checked to make sure everything was okay after it was fixed. Didn’t get many scallops, but ate at The Freezer! So good! Would definitely recommend this home for any group!

    We enjoyed the stay!!! Wesley provided immediate responses to our questions and concerns. The home was just what we were looking for. Seeing a manatee cow and calf from the house’s dock, in the middle of the summer, was icing on the cake. Thank you!

    The property was just as advertised! Great place for family vacation. Many things to do close by. Great for fisherman too. Having an ice machine is a big plus when going fishing or just out on the boat for the day. House was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed! Thanks to the host for a wonderful place to stay and great communication! Highly recommend!

    The home was absolutely perfect. Our host contacted us to be sure everything went smoothly during check in and asked if we needed anything. He also offered to place an order for us at a local fish market. We were able to put our kayaks in directly from the property’s dock. After fishing, the ice machine was SO convenient! We will stay here again. Thank you, Wesley!

    We visited for spring break. The house had lots of space and a great backyard overlooking the canal. It was close to our manatee tour location and the park was nearby. This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Our host was very friendly and helpful.
