    We came for the Scallops! this was such a great location for us. so close to so many of the dining and drinking establishments. Most importantly, the private boat ramp was 4 houses away and never had anyone else at it. this worked out extremely well and we look forward to coming back.

    I cannot say enough about our stay. I loved being able to text directly with the owner and she was so responsive. I am not too familiar with VRBO or other rental places. She was so kind and answered my text messages immediately. she provided great recommendations for food and entertainment and really made herself available.

    Property was well kept, very clean and comfortable. It is close enough to conveniences yet far enough to be peaceful. The Upper Deck' was very nice to relax on over looking the water. Use of the kayaks was a plus.

    The Upper Deck was just as described. The hostess was very attentive. The location s great because it is feet away from the Homosassa River, a short drive to fun restaurants and the wildlife preserve. The free kayaks and paddleboards were wonderful bonus!

    The house is highly decorated with the whole beach theme and reinforces that you are somewhere else. The kitchen is surprisingly well equipped for meal preparation. The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms very nice. The sitting area furniture was in the theme and fine for short sits.My granddaughter played with us in the yard a fair amount and we took kayaks to the launch spot not more than 100 yards away. The kayak cart made that pretty easy. The launch point is surfaced with stones, but entry/exit from the water was easy. The water near the launch spot is also well-protected and should usually be calm.Nadeene checked in before and at the end of the rental to make sure everything was OK. She seemed genuinely interested in ensuring we had a great time.

    From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew it was going to be a great place. Filled with a nautical and beach theme throughout, we appreciated every detail the owners put into it. From directions to everything close by, to how to operate the TV, we had a stress free stay. We highly recommend this place and would love to go back!

    We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the nautical furnishings and decor, the kayaks, & the upper deck! Everything we needed was provided. The house is close to restaurants, bars, and local sites. We appreciated the excellent communication with the owner!

    Absolutely great place to scallop! Location was awesome and convenient. The boat ramp is a bit tight. If you go with just two people both need to know how to launch the boat and get the truck and trailer back. The neighborhood is tight so be accurate. The owners were amazing and checked in with us prior and post stay. Will definitely go back!

    The host thought about everything to make sure they stay was amazing! Instructions and referrals are left for families to have the best time and see as many things as possible during your stay. The house was very clean and stocked fully for any meals you make have planned. 10 out of 10 for us and we want to visit again.
