Great experience with the rental.

We've stayed at dozens of properties from the keys to big bend and this was probably the cleanest. We're just disappointed in the scallops being so thin but that's not the fault of the property owner. We plan on returning in the future and this property was very nice indeed.

This is our 2nd year staying here - it is so beautiful on the canal and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen was provided. Loved going out with Captn. Dave - we all needed some down time and this is the perfect place.

About the host

Hosted by Marni Allen

Host profile image
We lived in Arizona. I have been coming to Homosassa since 1976. My Aunt and Uncle lived in the area, and my fondest memories as a child were on the Homosassa River. We finally decided to purchase a home where one day we could retire and visit as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property has been completely updated. It has everything to make your fishing trip relaxing and enjoyable. The location is close to all the Hot Spots (Freezer. Shed, Mc Rae's, Old Mill, Publix). Screened in the boathouse with a cleaning station and ice machine—plenty of room to park your boat trailers. You can sit in the screened lanai room and watch the manatees and dolphins.

What makes this property unique

We are located on the Homosassa River. Quite area, but located close to everything in Old Homosassa. Live Music at all the local restaurants. Close to boat ramp. Golf Cart community.
