Manatee Birthday Trip
Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hosts are there to welcome you at your check in time and explain where to find everything. I mentioned when booking to the hosts that I was celebrating my birthday as part of our trip and they greeted me with a birthday card, balloon, birthday decorations in the house, and freshly baked cookies. That meant the world to me. The house was spotless and very warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable and plenty of closet and drawer space for clothes. There was a mirror in the master and in the queen room which was very handy for getting ready in the morning. There was a fully stocked pantry and even basic condiments in the fridge. Bathrooms had plenty of towels, wash cloths, shampoo/conditioner, and soap. Drawers full of plastic bags for snacks in the kitchen, and beach towels for going for a swim in the laundry room. There was an entire basket of local menus and other ideas for things to do. The sofas also have push button recliners with USB chargers which my mother now wants installed in her own home. The location simply can't be beat either for boating activities at the Homosassa River. We had an early morning manatee boat tour with Blue Heaven River Tours (highly recommend) and were only 3 minutes away from the boat pick up point at the harbor. Love, love, love this VRBO and hope to stay again soon.

Lovely!
Stayed for 2 nights in December. Hosts Joy and Mary Lynn were wonderful and got us checked in and thoroughly went thru the house with us explaining where everything was. House is immaculate and impeccable. Kitchen is very well stocked. Very comfortable home and they even had a Christmas tree up. Beds are very comfortable. We won’t hesitate to book again.

Very nice
The hosts prepared the kitchen for our early family Thanksgiving lunch with extra utensils, decorations and ambiance. The house sits within 1 mile of TONS of things to do and that was helpful. Places to visit: CATTLE DOG CAFE, ISLAND GIRL CRUISES. We can't thank our hosts enough for the hospitality and thoughtfulness with the dinnerware and decorating they did for our trip. It was a hit!!!! Everyone loved it. All in all.....house was superb and I hope we can stay here again soon!!!!

Great Weekend Get away
This is a gorgeous, immaculately kept home. The pride Joy and Mary have in their home comes through. Everything you could need is here and it’s convenient to Homosassa, Crystal River and all the area has to officer. Mary and Joy are a pleasure to work with. We had to work around 2 hurricanes and a mistake in booking by one of our party. They helped us through and we were able to have a wonderful trip. Currently looking at dates for the next trip.

Luxurious House and Perfect Location
This is the BEST VRBO we have ever stayed in. Immaculate (so clean!) and comfortable. The furniture and beds appeared to be new - not your typical garage sale finds. Couch, love seat & chair were all recliners. Pair that with a huge HD tv - great to watch movies together in the evening. We lived on the back screened patio - beautiful yard & again great furniture setup. We didn’t cook, but kitchen had everything you’d need to cook. Even the master bathroom & shower exceeded expectations. Host was wonderful. Great communicator, even brought us home made chocolate chip cookies & coffee cake (thank you Mary Lynn). Would definitely stay again.

There is no surprise that this home and hosts have 5 star ratings! Communication was excellent throughout our time leading up to and during our stay. We were celebrating our daughter's 16th birthday. We arrived to the house and balloons, cake, and a present were waiting for her! Our travel down was long and exhausting but this surprise definitely brightened her spirits!

Short and sweet
We were able to come for a very short visit and had the pleasure of renting 2 of the Byrd properties that are located next door to each other! We had previously rented the Stilt House and had a wonderful experience so when we visited for my MIL 90th birthday we knew we needed two houses for our large group! Having them next to each other was perfect! This house was where we all gathered for breakfast, lunch, family time and just relaxing after a long day! These homes have everything you need and the Byrd family is available to answer any questions and help you with special requests anytime of day! Each home is awesome and we will definitely be back! The Bryd family are definitely Premier Hosts!

Beautiful, well-stocked home in a peaceful place
What a fantastic vacation home! The hosts are next-level attentive. (They showed us two Nerf water guns for the kids when giving us a tour at check-in, saw that we had three kids, and discreetly dropped off a third water gun the next day!) The house is beautiful and impeccably maintained. The kitchen is fantastic and the master bath might’ve inspired a remodel in my own house! We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this is the cleanest, most thoughtfully laid out, well-stocked place we’ve ever rented. It was an easy drive to several parks, and we’d definitely stay here again!
