We had a very nice stay at Bill and Bobbi’s and the location is idyllic and peaceful. The home was also very clean and stocked with essential kitchenware, which made cooking in very easy.There’s plenty of deep water by the home but you may want to consider connecting with the hosts to learn the best way to approach the dock, especially if you’re arriving via the gulf/channel instead of the boat launch in Homosassa. There are some large boulders just below the surface nearby that are easy to avoid if you know the right way to go.

Great secluded spot scallopers!

We came in for a quick 2 night scallop stay with the family and we caught our limit within a few hours opening morning! Private getaway with boat access only-boat parking in cove was clutch. Loved the fire pit, hammock and peaceful river vibes- scallop season 2025 does not disappoint! Thank you for these precious family memories---we won't forget this trip!

Scallop House

This was the cutest little getaway from home—the perfect location for scalloping or heading to the springs. The host left ice cream, fresh fruit, and water for us. We loved that they had dog bowls to make our pups feel included. We can't wait to come back.

LOVED IT! It’s like being in a tropical cabin. We called it a “staycation” because we were not too far from home (1.5 hours), but being out there felt like another world. Our family will be returning! Thank you to the hosts for being so responsive and providing such a clean, comfortable home-base for our salty adventures.

Absolutely Amazing

My husband and I were thrilled to be the first guest to the Scallop House. What a beautiful comfortable place. The owners Bill and Bobbie did a fantastic job with the renovations. It was truly like coming home every afternoon after being on the boat all day. There are 2 docks, the front one homed our 33’ Palmetto and the back one homed the 18’ Carolina Skiff with no problems. There is a back deck that was perfect for hanging out in the hammock, a table and chairs under a nice shade, a fire pit with more chairs and a grill which made it perfect for cooking and hanging out with our friends. There is a perfect little front yard for the pets, which was perfect that we were able to bring the fur baby. The owners left us a great fresh fruit bowl, ice cream in the freezer and bottles of water, they were absolutely amazing to deal with and very accommodating. We will definitely be back and 100% recommend. Thank you so much we will never forget our time there.
