Boat Dock & Porch: Riverfront Retreat in Homosassa

Reviews

• Wonderful stay!

  5/5

  This is our second year in a row staying in this home for a scalloping trip with friends. Once again, we had the best time! Kris and Bob are AMAZING, and so is the house. Perfect location, with quick access to the springs, restaurants, and grocery. The home is well stocked and has so many thoughtful touches. The screened porch is perfect for relaxing and offers great views of wildlife including a manatee with a tracker who seems to live right in the canal. We are already looking forward to our trip next year!

• Wonderful Fishing getaway

  5/5

  The house was perfect for my friends, and the owners are extremely kind. They were very helpful in ensuring we made the best use of our time. I highly recommend, and we will certainly be back!

  If you want to explore the mangroves and the Gulf, the fishing was incredible. Highly recommend Capt. Rick Spratt.

• Best Family Vacation

  5/5

  We had a wonderful family vacation in homosassa at this beautiful home. It was perfect for our family of 7, including two kids (5 and 7). The hosts were so kind, hospitable and accommodating. They gave us some great suggestions of places to eat and boating destinations. This home on the river was the perfect launching point for our daily boat adventures, and keeping the boat on the dock made it hassle free!! The living space was perfect for our family. The kitchen was expertly stocked with everything we needed to cook family breakfasts and dinners. And the beds!!! Soooo comfortable and the perfect place to crash after a long day in the sun. Most importantly this home was the perfect backdrop for creating some incredible family memories. We can’t wait to come back.

• Perfect place for a scalloping trip

  5/5

  Our group of 8 had the absolute best time. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our group of 8 (two couples, and 4 young adults). We loved the private boat ramp, and being able to park our boat at the dock. It made hitting the water to scallop or hit the springs (which was SO close) very easy. There was plenty of parking for our boat trailer and guest vehicles. The house was well stocked and the kitchen had everything we needed to make large meals. There was plenty of seating inside and out for our group. The screened porch was perfect for coffee and mimosas in the morning overlooking the water. It was pure bliss! One last note: the host is AMAZING! I’ve never felt more welcomed at a vacation home. We really appreciated the great communication and recommendations. We will be back!

• River Home Oasis and Homosassa Playground

  5/5

  Bob and Kris' river home and Homosassa playground are incredible. The accommodations and amenities are well thought out, we had everything we needed.

  Day One - first full day we booked Wild West Charter for fishing. Perhaps due to the solar eclipse, fishing was excellent. We caught spotted seatrout, red fish, and a Jack. FYI, Margarita Grill prepares your fish fillets if you order sides. They have a generous number of margarita flavors too. :)

  Day Two - Three Sisters Springs was a nice paddle (clear bottom boat) on our own and swim experience.

  Day Three - Nature's Resort half day (11a-5p) pontoon rental allowed all of us to relax - picnic, fishing, and swimming with manatees in Homosassa Springs. We ate dinner at Crumps, it has a great atmosphere and good menu selection. The kids enjoyed the playground before and after dinner.

  We look forward to staying again and exploring the area more.
