Cozy Unique Cottage

The cottage is decorated with a mix of antique and modern. I was pleased with the ocean decor also. There are puzzles,movies,and plenty to do in the backyard!!! Everything you need is provided including toiletries. The tub was amazing. I love bubble baths and that was even included!!! So many fish in the canal. I even spotted a turtle. We canoed to the Emu Island and that was a treat in itself. We were going to cross the lake to try to find the sandy part to swim but we spotted an alligator that day and I immediately changed my mind!! We rented a pontoon boat and spent an afternoon in Kings Bay. There are many different restaurants on the water and that was an EXTRA for me. The owners live next to the property which is very convenient if you should need anything. Dennis is so nice. He greeted us but after that we had all the privacy we needed. Just take time to sit in the backyard and enjoy nature (but bring bug spray).

Vacation getaway

Spent our anniversary weekend at the cottage. Went to homosassa and Crystal river on boat tours. We used the peddle boat at the cottage and went down the canal. At end if canal was an Emu island, very interesting as they even had an alpaca. Cottage was well supplied. Even caught a bass fish in the canal. Place was a litle tricky to find as the cottage is tucked in on their property but they were home to guide us. Very relaxing weekend getaway

We Needed a break from our stressful jobs. We wanted some place quiet and away from the crowds. This was perfect. It felt secluded but was close to town. Every time I walked around outside I found something new, whether it was cute decor or wildlife. I loved it!

Tranquil water front cottag

Beautiful property. Cottage was super clean and had everything you needed. Gas grill was clean and the canoe, kayaks & paddle boat were perfect to get around the waterway. No lies they had several manatees in the area. So much fun! Super nice added touch were the tiki torches, perfect for the evenings. We already plan to be back soon.
