Beautiful with everything you need!
What a wonderful gem in the heart of the nature coast! This property was conveniently located on a quiet, dead end street. The accomodations were beautiful and featured everything travelers could want/need and then some. Don't hesitate to book this gem - we enjoyed our stay and this wonderful spot made it all the better!

Surpassed Expectations!
The host was very responsive and incredibly helpful. The lanai was the ideal spot for card games with family and friends, as well as dining. We loved sitting there to hear the birds sing; we could also sit out back and read while enjoying the Florida sunshine. The house is very well equipped with higher-end finishes. We thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood. I can't say enough good things about this property and the host. We'll be back!

The most equipped and best VRBO I've ever been in.
Only 1 warning if you rent this. Better pack a lot of clothes cause you may end up staying longer than you think. Amazing and so nice. What an incredible area to visit. Shirrell has beautiful taste and makes everything easy. No steps, no dirt, no problems. She left us the garage door remote. Which was really nice? Because it's easy to get In-N-Out instead of punching that code every time.. Washer and dryer works perfectly along with everything else in that home. It's much more than a home. It is a beach home. Even though you're not right on the beach, you feel like you are.. On a very quiet culdesac. Close to everything. But you don't feel like that. It's very, very quiet. Beautiful Palm trees all around it. There are so many necessities that you need when you're on vacation. And this home has no lack of everything you need and then some. Lots of room for everyone and the backyard is also beautiful. We were fishing a lot and when we came home tired, It was like coming home to heaven.

Perfect stay
We had a lovely stay at this home. Everything was perfect and every detail was thought of by the owners. The house is immaculate, roomy and spacious. The location is ideal for the springs Homosassas and Three Sisters and the gulf beaches. We will definitely be staying in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Shirrell Tietz

Host profile image
The Owner is originally from Colorado, but fell in love with everything Florida and the Gulf has to offer. Being an avid fisherwoman this location provides access to redfish, snook, and tarpon known as the silver king. Trophy fishing is at it's best here in the Nature Coast.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood was chosen for its peaceful setting and access to the water. Coastal Beacon is located in a small cul-de-sac right off Stone Brook Road. It is a stones throw away from everything the Nature Coast has to offer it's visitors.

What makes this property unique

Coastal Beacon offers visitors an economical advantage to family vacations. The prime location of this home places you in the middle of it all. Quick and easy access to Crystal River, Homosassa and Homosassa Springs gulf side, greasy access to Inverness and inter-lying towns and cities. It's close to a variety of shopping and restaurant experiences, but places you far enough away from the hustle and bustle for a truly peaceful experience to be had during your stay. The early morning rain showers can be experienced sitting in the enclosed outdoor patio. The sounds of the forest are absolutely serene. The property is surrounded by many trees and the cardinals visit every morning.
