Great family spot

Used as a home base for a family wedding - tons of space and plenty of amenities. We'll have to come back in the winter to see the Manatees and this would be a great to do that from.

Great Get Away!

This large house is fantastic for our entire family to enjoy vacation together. The property owner is great to work with, very responsive to guests needs and comfort. We have stayed two times now and will definitely vacation here again. This is one of the best vacation properties we have stayed at with our family.

Annual Scalloping Family Reunion

This 5 bedroom house was perfect for our group of 10. Plenty of room for us all to spread out. We appreciated the table big enough for us all to eat together. Kitchen & whole house was very well stocked. Extra fridge in garage was a plus. Easy, convenient boat launch & trailer parking right by the house. Absolutely no negatives at all. We loved it!

Great location for a Family stay

The house was clean and exactly what we needed for the seven of us. The location of the house was great because it was in the middle of all that Homosassa has to offer. The only issues that we found with the house were the garage door remote did not work, and the fridge lights flickered. However, these were only minor inconveniences and didn't detract from our stay. If you plan on staying for more than a couple of days, make sure you bring your own paper products and trash liners. All of this is in the welcome letter that is sent out before your stay. All in all this place was perfect for us, and we would not mind staying again in the future!

Exploring Homosassa

There were 2 families of 5, so we packed the house! Everything was as pictured. We were pleased with the property, boat access and ease, and that our dogs were able to join us. House was clean and had what we needed. The only thing that would have made our stay better was ceiling fans! There were none in the 4 upstairs bedrooms.

Nice place with a few hiccups

Smoke detector from the master bedroom had been removed prior to arrival and left with a note that it needed a new battery. We found onions in the ovens drawer. Found several little green stickers (beggar's lice) on the sheets. Needs a broom. That being said we would stay there again, had a great family vacation.

We enjoyed the house and area very much. The carpeted area in the house needs to be replaced, or some other type of flooring needs to be installed. I would rent this house again.

Worse vrbo we have ever rented

The most basic property we have ever stayed at. The carpet upstairs is gross, old and dirty. No paper towels, no dish towels, no hand bathroom towels. Will not recommend anyone to stay there.
