Beautiful retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. House was a great getaway for our family and we loved the heated pool and kayaks! We cooked dinner on the grill and overall had a great time relaxing at the house. It was centrally located to our local activities and check-in was very smooth. I’m glad we brought some of our own towels for the pool but otherwise the house had everything we needed.

Love the location the house is perfect. The only thing we had no heat and it was very cold in the morning the thermostat was not working. It was disconnected from the heating unit and the pool was not heated as it stated in the description. One bedroom was missing a TV and also one of the master room mattresses was so uncomfortable. I went out and bought a mattress firm cover to get a good nights sleep. Other than that I would definitely book the house for next year.

A nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to spread out. Huge screened in porch and a patio overloooking the canal. Plenty of "toys" -' kayaks, bikes etc. We really enjoyed the home!

This property was everything we hoped it would be. The house was so comfy, clean and in an awesome location. My youngest son fished the entire time and is already asking when we are going back. Thanks for providing a great house filled with amenities.

R&R at it's Finest

Absolutely beautiful location, spacious and airy with gorgeous viws but not too big. Just the right size with lots of outdoor area to rest, relax and swim. Perfectly appointed and well thought out. We enjoyed breakfast on the breezy deck while watching manatees float by. Everyone we met was super friendly, including the Great Blue Heron that came by several times to see what we were up too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful and Well Appointed

Quiet location with a surprising amount of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. Could choose between deck, screened in patio, pool, or comfortable living room when not out hiking, kayaking, or exploring. Beds and baths newer and nicer than many rental properties.

3rd time's a charm!

Our third time at this home was the best yet. Since the renovations and addition of a bedroom and 2 bathrooms, this is a true family getaway spot. 2 king beds and a queen allow for 6 adults to sleep comfortably. Comfortable furniture and a well-appointed kitchen make it easy to relax and prepare meals (if you choose). The house location with deck and boat dock is situated in the ideal place for trips up or down river. Pleasant boat rides to the springs, gulf, or nearby restaurants are easy as you're steps away from the dock. Have your morning coffee on the lanai or deck or take a swim in the pool. Hopefully, the the third trip wont be our last to Otter Slide.

Amazing home on the river

This home is one of the best we have stayed at. It is super comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms and I can't say enough about the outside. We had a great stay and will be back the next time we come to see our family. If I had to pick one item to improve it would be an easier way to get into the kayaks. Other than that it is a 5 star from our family.

Beautiful Home

If you plan on traveling to Homossassa, this house has it all. Three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, open living area with a fully furnished kitchen, heated pool, a dock in the back big enough to fit my 24 foot boat and plenty of parking for our truck and trailer. The house was immaculately clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful, spotless and we'll stocked with everything we needed!! We loved having the bikes to explore and used the tandem kayak almost daily. The heated pool was a definite plus as well. Sitting on the deck was so relaxing and peaceful. Loved the sounds of nature and the bird visitors. We cannot wait to return!!!
