    Gorgeous, relaxing property with ample dock space convenient to the boat ramp. The Homosassa River is a short ride away and the springs are beautiful. There is a great restaurant scene on the river. Bring your boat and enjoy!!

    I normally don’t write reviews but this one deserves it. The host was amazing from start to finish. The location was perfect. Boat ramp was on the next street over. Plenty of room for boats to dock. The outside of the house was magical from the brick to the plants was beautiful. The inside of the house was great plenty of room to sleep, hangout would definitely be back. We loved it.

    Beautiful place with great access to the springs and scalloping grounds. We fit 2/25’ boats at the dock with no problems. Plenty of room.

    Words are not enough to describe the beauty of this property. The pics are fantastic but the actual property is breath taking. We brought our boat and left it at the dock but the boat ramp was super close too. It was our first time so we have to get used to the tides and skinny waters but we can not wait to come back and stay here. Dani was great with communication! Thank you for sharing this property and helping us make lasting memories for us all

    The River Garden is beautiful. The house is spacious and comfortable, but the gardens and outdoor spaces are truly splendid! We loved being surrounded by all of the plants and trees with the water right there. And the brickwork was a nostalgic and unique addition! Access to the kayaks was a huge plus as well! We loved it!!

    The property is lovely and much nicer than the pictures reflect. The layout is a little funky but there was plenty of room and very clean. The only thing that I did not like is the early check out (10 AM). A word of caution is that the location is more for boats that can go in very shallow water so we did have some issues with navigating the area for the time of year we visited. I heard summer months the water is deeper. The property is perfect for kayaking thought and would stay again!
