Stayed Jun 30, 2023Overall great house with a great location. We liked that the downstairs and upstairs rooms were only accessible from the outside. It gave some extra privacy. There’s 20 steps to get to the main house. Not a big deal at all if you don’t mind stairs. The outside back porch was great! We really liked the house!

Stayed Jul 12, 2023We’ve stayed at this house several times and are always pleased. We went fishing and scalloping and had a great time. Also, the restaurants are close by. Great house.

Stayed Mar 23, 2023We were there for a friends wedding and the group had rented seven different VRBO houses The otter shack was everything and more as it was portrayed on the listing. The view of the river is breathtaking, the house, was very clean, nicely equipped and furnished. We would definitely return when we come back to Homosassa.

Stayed Mar 31, 2023Property was clean and well maintained. Main house on the second floor with a very large screen room made it pleasant to sit outside at any time of day or night without worry of pesky mosquitos. With an entire studio like apartment down below, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have some privacy if desired. The location is close to a public boat ramp, and just inside the canal from the main river, right around the corner from The Freezer, and a very convenient boat ride to everything else the area has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed Mar 16, 2023The weather wasn't great so we ended up not bringing our boat, but the dock and creek/canal appeared to be what we were looking for. The house is well appointed and has everything you need. We particularly loved the huge screened in porch. Would definitely rent again.

Stayed May 27, 2022We really enjoyed our stay. The dock was perfect for our boat and was a short run out to the river and springs. Property was clean and had a great porch area that had tons of room to hang out. We will be back.
