Either boating, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, scalloping, paddle boarding; or you can just relax, soak up the sunshine & take in the views on the dock; or chill out on the back screened porch with its comfy sitting area or dining table, ideal for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. Perfect location for the experiencing the incredible waterfront restaurants and shopping, or a short paddle to Homosassa Springs, Halls River, Monkey Island and endless sightseeing opportunities; or a short drive to Publix or Aldi.

Located less than 2 miles to the world-famous Ellie Schiller Wildlife State Park where you can get up close to the underwater life in the fishbowl observatory and meet wildlife in their natural environment.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious great room with knotty pine cathedral ceilings and open windows across the back of the home for a spectacular view of the water. The open kitchen plan boasts a large center island with extra seating, gas stove, built-in oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer/toaster oven combo, coffee/tea station with drip & K-cup coffee machines, separate pantry and plenty of space for entertaining. Right off the kitchen is a separate covered patio where you can whip up a meal on the gas Blackstone Griddle and dine outdoors on the picnic style dining set.
A separate bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds, television & a full bath have been recently completed for an additional area for the older kids to hang out. (Please see weight restrictions which apply to the top bunk beds.)
Fully stocked laundry room with washer, dryer, clothes steamer and iron.
Enjoy the convenience of a private boat ramp to launch your watercraft and secure to the 52 foot dock. Launch your kayak or paddle board from the launcher located on the dock. After a day of fishing, clean your fresh catch on the fish cleaning station. Rinse the day off in the convenient outdoor shower.
There are 6 kayaks, a paddleboard & a canoe available for your use.

Summary: I cannot say enough amazing things about our stay here in Homosassa! This home was perfect for our family’s Christmas trip to see manatees. Patty was so responsive and set up a Christmas tree for us, as well as made sure we had some snacks and coffee since we arrived late on Christmas Day.The house is well appointed with everything you need. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of blankets for the 2 days that it was actually colder in FL than it was in CO! I read 3 books in the house during our stay because there was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have their own spaces. We played board games, watched movies and really took advantage of all the ways to enjoy the river. We kayaked down to see the monkeys on monkey island, we got the most delicious stone crab claws at Shelly’s seafood, we made our kids’ dreams come true by booking a tour at Country Kingdom to visit capybaras, wallabies, goats, donkeys, and otters, and, of course, we swam with the manatees! The state park gave us a chance to see the rangers feed the manatees. We also had a fun visit to the weekend flea market! This was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home.
