Homosassa has been called the ultimate river town with its old Florida feel and happening waterfront venues with great food and live music. Come experience all it has to offer in this waterfront retreat right off the Homosassa River on a desirable wide, deep canal. This renovated open floor plan home is ideally located around the corner from where the Halls River empties into the Homosassa River.

The house is situated right on the water so you are just a few steps away from enjoying aday on the water experiencing all that this life has to offer. Either boating, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, scalloping, paddle boarding; or you can just relax, soak up the sunshine and take in the views on the dock; or chill out on the back screened porch with its comfy sitting area or dining table, ideal for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. Perfect location for the experiencing the incredible waterfront restaurants and shopping, or a short paddle to Homosassa Springs, Halls River, Monkey Island and endless sightseeing opportunities; or a short drive to Publix or Aldi. If solitude is what you want, head to Halls River which is primarily undeveloped and wild along almost its entire length. This is an excellent spot for the avid bird watchers. Located less than 2 miles to the world-famous Ellie Schiller Wildlife State Park where you can get up close to the underwater life in the fishbowl observatory and meet wildlife in their natural environment.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious great room with knotty pine cathedral ceilings and open windows across the back of the home for a spectacular view of the water. The open kitchen plan boasts a large center island with extra seating, gas stove, built-in oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer/toaster oven combo, coffee/tea station with drip and K-cup coffee machines, separate pantry and plenty of space for entertaining. Right off the kitchen is a separate covered patio where you can whip up a meal on the gas Blackstone Griddle and dine outdoors on the picnic style dining set.

A separate bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds, television & a full bath have been recently completed for an additional area for the older kids to hang out. (Please see weight restrictions which apply to the top bunk beds.)

Fully stocked laundry room with washer, dryer, clothes steamer and iron.

Enjoy the convenience of a private boat ramp to launch your watercraft and secure to the 52 foot dock. Launch your kayak or paddle board from the launcher located on the dock. After a day of fishing, clean your fresh catch on the fish cleaning station. Rinse the day off in the convenient outdoor shower.

There are 6 kayaks, a paddleboard and a canoe available for your use.

Running July 1 through September 24, scallop season draws visitors from across the state to the shallow Gulf waters off Crystal River and Homosassa. It’s part snorkeling trip, part treasure hunt, and one of the most hands-on ways to experience Florida’s coastal waters.

    The property was great. Perfect location, close to the springs, dining and scalloping in the Gulf. The house was very clean and well stocked with all essentials and more. The host was helpful and prompt to respond. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend visiting Homosassa and staying here.

    The house sits directly on the water. Their living area is quite large. We really enjoyed hanging out and playing games. Nice big dining room table for a big group. This house is completely furnished and organized. I was very impressed. You can definitely cook and have everything you need there.The view is very lovely and there are many kayaks. We had a very lovely Father’s Day weekend. Thank you for letting us stay.Rhonda Young

    I cannot say enough amazing things about our stay here in Homosassa! This home was perfect for our family’s Christmas trip to see manatees. Patty was so responsive and set up a Christmas tree for us, as well as made sure we had some snacks and coffee since we arrived late on Christmas Day.The house is well appointed with everything you need. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of blankets for the 2 days that it was actually colder in FL than it was in CO! I read 3 books in the house during our stay because there was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have their own spaces. We played board games, watched movies and really took advantage of all the ways to enjoy the river. We kayaked down to see the monkeys on monkey island, we got the most delicious stone crab claws at Shelly’s seafood, we made our kids’ dreams come true by booking a tour at Country Kingdom to visit capybaras, wallabies, goats, donkeys, and otters, and, of course, we swam with the manatees! The state park gave us a chance to see the rangers feed the manatees. We also had a fun visit to the weekend flea market! This was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home.

    This home is literally perfect. Great location, great amenities, fully stocked. Every time we needed something we just looked and there it was, they had it. Dock is perfect for boats with water electrical storage cleats etc. private boat ramp is clutch. Our friends staying elsewhere fought the public ramp and having our own made the process so easy, we plan to stay here on future trips! Look no further.

    We had such an amazing time! Two big families with 10 kids between us! The house was very well stocked and there was plenty of sleeping space.The kids had a blast fishing and crabbing off the dock, we had a great time swimming at the springs, and scalloping was a blast! Thank you for the memories!

    We had an amazing time here!! A lot of fishing and kayaking. So much space for our group of 9. The neighbors were so friendly. My boys caught a ton of fish off the dock.
