Yankeetown, Florida
Home located on a deep-water canal, less than two miles to the gulf with no bridges. Inside has beautiful tongue and groove ceilings and walls, simulating the feel of an old wooden ship. Then step outside to enjoy one of Florida's beautiful rivers that leads to the Gulf of Mexico. This two-story home is very spacious. Perfect for entertaining family and guests. Boat house is enormous offering lots of room for most of boats. If you love to fish, boat, kayak or just enjoy the outdoors you will love this home located on a cul de sac. Close to the Withlacoochee Preserve, Withlacoochee River, Homosassa, Crystal River, Gulf of Mexico, Drs., hospitals, shopping, dining and more. Easy access to Crystal River, Ocala, Gainesville, Tampa and Orlando. Disney World ONLY two hours away.
The house is unique and a definite must see. The owners recently purchased the house, and it is slowly being transformed to make it feel like the interior of a ship. The stairs case has handmade balusters made from rope and cleats giving it the appearance of a sailboat.
Upstairs there are two master suites and two queen size rooms. The first master suite has a king size bed and a custom kid’s pirate loft with a twin bed. The room also includes a bunk bed (full over twin). All four rooms upstairs share a bathroom. There is another full bathroom downstairs with a walk-in shower. The downstairs features an oversized sofa with an open floor concept to allow great flow between the kitchen and living room.
(House has two washer and dryers. One upstairs and one downstairs.) Also, has a 150 lbs ice maker. A fisherman’s dream!
We just returned home from staying at this home on the Withlacoochie for an entire week! We have nothing but great things to say about our stay here, and have already discussed returning for vacation next year! The home is fun, cozy, and quirky all at the same time! It is tucked into a very quiet little town, very close to the gulf. if you are into peace and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. We were looking for somewhere close to the scallop grounds, but also nice and quiet, and this home did not disappoint. The home is large, offered lots of sleeping space, and was completely furnished with everything you can possibly need, including some fun arcade machines! It is on a canal right off the Withlacoochie and handled our 20ft center console bay boat without an issue. There is a boat ramp / bait shop right around the corner as well. The host Mandy, was extremely welcoming, and hospitable. Her and her husband were accommodating and helpful! They really worked to ensure we had a great stay, something I am super appreciative of.
Overall had a wonderful experience, great host and super location.
It was wonderful. Mandy was attentive and place was amazing and fun for the whole family. I highly recommend and we will definitely come and stay again.
Great stay, great owners. They went above and beyond. Would love to stay again.
The house was great, just as described, we were looking for something quite and not city, was exactly what we needed. Scenery was perfect, friendly neighborhood and close to all the conveniences, eateries, grocery stores, activities. The host was great and checked on us multiple times to make sure all was well, offered a little extra when our family came for a visit. The owners of the vrbo next door are great as well, friendly and accommodating. The wildlife was awesome, dolphins, manatees and birds where right in our back yard. We loved the place.??
I can’t say enough about this house and the owners! It’s a beautiful home away from home, Amanda went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She was thoughtful and left extra little things out for us to use or have. The house is unique and cozy. The view out back is amazing, the amount of wildlife that we got to watch every day was just awesome! We will definitely be staying here again. ❤️
Our family rented this home from Mandy who was awesome. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Our 7yr old loved the pirate ship loft and feeding the turtle who lives on the river (his name is now James the turtle lol!). We fished, kayaked, cooked, played chess and pong. Very comfortable house for us all. The homeowners left sweet gifts for us which we truly appreciated and felt very welcome. Well stocked kitchen and baths. Comfy beds. Cozy sectional in the living room. We hope to stay there again! Thank you for the hospitality!
