Perfect Hommasassa home base!
This place was great, pictures are very accurate, lots of space for a group of 9 to spread out. Ping pong, Giant Jenga and other games provided added tons of fun. Beds and bedding are very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great place.

Great place and location
Our stay was comfortable; all of us were happy with our accommodations. Being right on the water was a great feature and we loved having the kayaks so easily accessible. It's hard to tell in the photos but the yard is fenced which is great if you have dogs. There's a big side yard for them to play/run around in. A few things in the house need attention, but my guess is that this place gets a lot of traffic and wear and tear happens. The location is just two minutes off the main road making it easy to get to anything you need, plus the attractions in both Homossassa and Crystal River. However, you feel like your in a quiet secluded area. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute house but horrible experience
The location in Homosassa is nice and right on a water canal. The house is decorated very cute, but that’s all that was good with our stay. I arrived a day before my family did. When I arrived at night, I found 3 of the back doors were unlocked and one was open. Needless to say I did not feel safe! In the kitchen I noticed the inside of the kitchen drawers were dirty and there were dirty utensils in there as well. I went to go wash them, then found the kitchen sponge that needed to be thrown away with German cockroaches in it. I had to go to Publix and purchase a new sponge, dishwasher detergent and more paper towels. They only supplied one small roll. I also had to clean several spots on the floor where there was some type of sticky substance. The cleaning job was very poor. There was a breadcrumb about the size of a quarter right next to the pullout garbage can in the kitchen. I found more cockroaches in the master bathroom also. Friday we noticed the AC would not go below 75. Saturday morning I called to have someone come out and look at it. The repair guy came and unclogged the drain and then left right away. Then shortly after the AC stopped working completely we had to call and get the repair guy back out but in the meantime we had to get ready for our nephews wedding, and my son was in the wedding party. We were all taking cold showers so that we could cool down because it was in the 80s inside the house. The management team is no help! Stay away!

Hidden gem
This place is fantastic. So much to do in the house with foosball, ping pong, giant jenga and more. The sliding dock makes putting in the kayaks so easy, and you are just a few quick rows to an emu farm. Great place and would definitely recommend.

Internet/Bugs
Everything was fine but things were quite basic and there was no internet. There also were cockroaches and ants so it seemed like the house has been vacant for a while

Friend visit
The place was very nice. Nicely decorated and appears to be newly remodeled. We had NO communication with owner. When we got to house to check in , we had not received an email with entry information so I sent an email requesting code to get in. We did not hear anything until 11:24 the following day with the access code.luckily, there was a back door unlocked from which we entered or we would have missed one day of our 3 day getaway.also, no instructions in house for check out instructions . We just winged it. No outside garbage bins to leave our garbage.microwave shoots sparks and no light in laundry room. This sounds negative and we really did enjoy the place and property was better than expected, just no communication.

Great outdoor space
We had a nice stay in spite of the bad weather. We had one day of decent weather and made the most of it outside. We utilized the kayaks and explored the Halls river and did a tour floating with manatees on the Crystal River. The other days were quite rainy and cool so we spent the majority of the time indoors. The house has foosball, a ping pong table, large connect four game and Jenga. We used all of them to entertain our selves. The beds are not real comfortable and the kitchen needs a few things. There are spices but bring your own salt. They do supply coffee and filters hand soap, shampoo and conditioner so that was nice. Overall a nice stay.
