Great place for large groups
There were 7 golfers in our group. Plenty of beds for our group. The large kitchen/family room provided an excellent place for breakfast and dinner gatherings (ok, we played a little poker also). Too cool for me to sit outside but there were plenty of places to do so. This place was great.

Relaxing fishing retreat with its on boat ramp write on the river!
The Fish House had everything we needed for fishing, scalloping, and plenty of room for hanging out with our family and friends. I loved sitting on screen in porch high above the river to drink my morning coffee while watching the manatees play. It was so nice being able to load and unload our boat right there as this house has its own boat ramp and docks. We loved driving down the street to Shelly's to get fresh seafood to cook out on the grill. We will definitely be going back!

FISH HOUSE
Went for Guys Fishing Trip. Great Location and accomodations. Only DrawbACK the TV System doesn't have any Live Channels. We couldn't get the NCAA FINAL FOUR on TV on CBS. When paying top prices you have an expectation of at least BASIC TV Channels. It was very frustrating. Otherwise accomodations were great.

The Fish House is Great
You can believe all the high star reviews of this wonderful home. Amenities abound. Quiet neighborhood while offering quick and easy accessibility to nearby shopping, restaurants and many other venues. We especially enjoyed launching kayaks from the beautiful boat ramp and paddling through the scenic surrounding area. Mornings and evenings were spent in the upper level screened porch which offered a great view of the passing manatees and other wildlife. This home had everything we needed for our family. Our month long stay was very comfortable and absolutely enjoyable. The hosts were prompt to respond to the very few questions we needed answered.

Exceeds Expectations
We planned a group vacation for a friend's birthday. We stay in Homosassa often and are very familiar with the area and accomodations. This house is not as advertised, it's BETTER! The sleeping arrangements worked out perfect for our group. Only issue was the downstairs bathroom floods easily. We threw some towels down and kept on. It worked out. The docking for our boats was perfect and parking was ideal. Can't rave enough about this house. We will definitely be back!

Great get away
Property was very clean and spacious. Plenty of room for 2 families 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. Elevator (really an outside lift) was very helpful for getting luggage and groceries to second floor. Plenty of parking and boat ramp is very handy. Master bedroom is very nice. Good grill, kayaks, outside seating, all very nice. Lots of cooking stuff Downstairs has microwave and fridge and coffee stuff very handy for early risers before breakfast begins upstairs. Coming out of canal to river takes about 15 minutes as is all no wake but no bridges we had at least 2.5 feet of water coming in and out of canal. Canal empties into the Homosassa river right where the no wake end to go to the gulf very handy. About 30 min. boat ride to the springs which we made everyday. Just a nice ride it is NO WAKE all the way.

This place is a boater/fishermans perfect rental. Boat ramp and dock was great. Ice machine was convenient. The elevator made moving our stuff and groceries a breeze. The neighborhood was quiet, no issues with the neighbors. We were close to any shopping we needed done. Also close to the restaurants/bars on the water and the homosassa springs marina (awesone staff there) we rented a boat from.
