Homosassa Riverfront Retreat - Deep Dock - Family Friendly! - Relax & Enjoy!

Discover this fun riverfront vacation home, perfect for your family or couples getaway. (6) Person maximum. It's a large, comfortable and very clean home with stunning riverfront views. An authentic "Homosassa Riverfront Retreat", ready for you, friends and family to enjoy. Private Community Boat Ramp included! No Pets allowed!

Our "5 Star" guest rated 3BR/2BA home is centrally located near the Homosassa Springs for manatee viewing and the Gulf for secluded beaches, great fishing and catching scallops. Deep water dock directly on the Homosassa River in a No Wake zone. Also it is located 12 miles from World Woods Golf Club, Florida’s only 5 star public course.

Look on the map and see the short easy walk from the home to waterfront restaurants and Tiki-bars. Forget something? Take a quick trip, walk or bike ride down the street, buy a gallon of milk, a bottle of wine, groceries, beer and more.

Explore the town of Homosassa with a boat ride, paddle or scenic drive to local restaurants, stores, shopping areas and attractions. Or choose instead to go off the beaten path and find your own secluded waterways. The special places nearby, where a mother manatee swims with her calf in clear waters full of fish. Places like the backyard deck where dolphin swim, manatee visit and friendly birds fly and visit each day. You'll be in the middle of everything you want and perfectly far enough away from it all.

The residence is fully furnished in every way. Comfortable beds sleep 6 adults or children. Cook your meals in the fully equipped kitchen or walk outside to one of the deck-side grills. Free cable television and free wireless Internet is included. Enjoy the screened outdoor Lanai or relax on the large waterside deck. Save your vacation money using the (included) two tandem kayaks. All available for your free use as our guests, with helmets and lot's of gear and extra's for water play or a fun trip to the nearby springs.

Have a rainy Florida day? Relax and enjoy yourself under the cover of the screened Lanai.

Boaters will love the new deep water 28' dock plus 59' more feet of "no-wake" seawall space and our nearby private Community Boat Ramp. A boat trailer can be parked onsite. Your Boat, kayaks, canoes and jet skis can be left ready to go and secured on the many dock areas. Walk out back and swim with the manatee or jump into your boat, kayaks or canoe, the large double waterfront lot provides over 100' of docking options with cleats.

The deck area is large and within arm's reach of the Manatees, Dolphins, River Otters and Fish. Watch and enjoy the local wildlife or catch fish and blue crabs right here. We include fishing rods, tackle and crab traps for your use. The sink located on the Deck will help you clean your fish & scallops, (plus keep your hands clean).

Our calendar fills fast, so don't wait! Reserve now for the best dates!

Gorgeous view!
My family and I met there for Thanksgiving, as it is halfway between Naples and Tallahassee, where I have one son in school. We had a great time kayaking on the river and watching all the wildlife from the dock. A baby manatee swim right under the dock! The house was well stocked, and the owners were super accommodating.

Weekend Getaway
Loved that the property was on the river. Had everything we needed. Didn't like the boat trailer parking. Our trailer got hit because we had to park so close to the road. It was further up the river in the slow zone that what I would have preferred. Overall we had a good time.

Convenient and Comfortable getaway
Great location, close to the Springs. Loved that we had heron visitors and enjoyed meeting Gary and Kevin! We had a beautiful day to take the kayaks out for some exploring. Kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We especially enjoyed the view from the screened porch and big living room window.

Great Weekend Trip
We had a fantastic time. Could not ask for anything more. There was plenty of space inside, and the views of the river were great. We enjoyed using the kayaks and enjoyed fishing right from the dock. Perfect location to kayak to the springs. Would definitely book again, the place was great.

Wonderful place to stay!
Beautiful location on the river! Comfortable furniture and beds. Very nice hosts! Saw dolphins and manatees 5 minutes up the river at the springs. Kids had fun fishing off the dock. Plenty of room for our 24 ft pontoon on the sea wall.

Quiet riverfront retreat
Had a great time in this beautiful home. The home owner was quick to respond to any questions and was available to text or call throughout our stay. The house has a dock large enough for our 24’ boat, and the open floor plan and living area was spacious. Fully furnished kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms made our stay feel like a home away from home. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Great place on the river
Great location on the river with a boat ramp 50 yards away to launch our 22' bay boat. The house is a bit dated so if you like fancy look elsewhere. We absolutely loved it because of the great back yard and back porch, the large dock and river view, and the boat ramp. We were rarely there except to sleep or shower, the rest of the time was spent on the boat at the springs or fishing out in gulf. If you bring a boat here, bring 100' of extension cord to plug in your battery chargers as there is no power on or near the dock.
