About this property

Experience Manatee Magic: Your Cozy Retreat Awaits!

  • Welcome to Nature Coast Cottage, a completely renovated waterfront home in the heart of Homosassa. Rebuilt after Hurricane Helene, this beautiful home combines modern comforts with the charm of Old Florida and offers everything you need for the perfect fishing, scalloping, or family vacation.

    Located on a deep freshwater canal with direct, unimpeded Gulf access, you’ll enjoy stunning river views and daily visits from manatees, dolphins, mullet, turtles, and countless birds. Whether you’re relaxing with your morning coffee or watching the sunset after a day on the water, this property was designed to help you slow down and enjoy Florida’s Nature Coast.

    Inside, you’ll find a bright, open floor plan with two spacious master suites, beautifully updated bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for family meals. The home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests and offers multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, including a Florida room and a screened porch overlooking the water.

    For boaters and anglers, this is the perfect home base. The property features an extensive seawall, three boat slips, a covered boathouse (lift not operational), a fish-cleaning station, and plenty of room to dock multiple boats. You’re only minutes from the Homosassa River, the Gulf of Mexico, waterfront restaurants, marinas, and some of Florida’s best fishing and world-famous scalloping grounds.

    One feature guests absolutely love is the commercial ice machine, so you’ll always have plenty of fresh ice for coolers, drinks, and long days on the boat—no last-minute trips to the store.

    After a day on the water, rinse off in one of the multiple showers, enjoy the convenience of dual water heaters, fire up the grill, and spend the evening making memories with family and friends.

    Whether you’re chasing redfish, heading offshore, scalloping in the summer, kayaking with manatees, or simply looking for a peaceful waterfront getaway, Nature Coast Cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views.
