About this property

Tranquil Waterfront Cottage. 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom. Sleeps 2

Lovely, beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage for 2 adults. Perfect for your honeymoon or romantic getaway, but if needed there is room for 2 small children on the living room sectional. You are overlooking a Crystal clear waterway that leads to the Halls River. The River runs thru several lakes on its way to the Homosassa River then to the Gulf of Mexico. Good fishing in crystal clear water right off your patio. Bass, Bluegill, Mullet, Porgy, Sheepshead & stingrays are some of many different varieties that frequent the area. The cottage is a great area for sight seeing, manatee, porpoise, otters, turtles and stingrays frequent the waterways off your dock. Several great blue heron, ibis, many bard owls and wood storks also frequent your back yard. Just recently we’ve had a white peacock that visits every couple of days. We’ve named her princess. She is just beautiful !! There are also a great variety of birds in the area and most of our waterways are bird sanctuaries . You have a dock for a small boat and plenty of room to park your boat and trailer. The cottage comes complete with life vests, 4 person paddle boat, 2 kayaks and a canoe. A lovely yard that is fenced on 2 sides has water on the other two sides. A quiet and charming area to relax.

This locations is great for personal craft river access, manatee viewing, natural dock area, and relaxing back yard environment. We thoroughly enjoyed it. WiFi was slow but we didn’t have to have it. Thanks for this great VRBO!

Great place, a couple items could have been better: mattress way too soft, floor was not clean, needed mopped and ghost ants all over sink and counter.

I spent 3 nights at the cottage and wished I could have stayed longer. The property is very peaceful and exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed seeing a beautiful white peacock on the property grounds and a short canoe ride led us by an emu/alpaca farm. Enjoyed fishing, using the grill and nearby restaurants. This is definitely a property I would like to rent again.

The house was perfect for me and my dogs. The fenced in yard was just the right size, and the water behind the house was beautiful. The house was a little hard to find since it's kind of hidden, but access was very easy once the owner helped out.

The cottage is nicely decorated. Very cute and comfy! Jim fished the entire time & caught a lot of blue gill. The water is clear & you can watch the fish swim by. The property is lovely. If traveling with your pet it is perfect. Fenced in no leash required! We had a lovely time.

We stayed for a long weekend to visit nearby parks and snorkel with manatees. The cottage is in a great location, about 10 minutes to Crystal River and 10 minutes to the Homosassa Wildlife Refuge (other direction). The owners gave us very specific directions and parking instructions (it could have been tricky to find without them). The cottage is very charming, kind of "Funky Old Florida Bohemian". Lots of whimsy, very welcoming. The outdoors area is great, very peaceful sitting by the water and having morning coffee. If you're looking for something that is super modern and has a full kitchen this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for something off the beaten path with tons of character and charm, this is it!

Very cute and quiet cottage. Very clean and welcoming. Everything in the cottage worked well. We had a very good time staying there. We had fun using the canoe, but the pedal boat didn't seem to work right. I would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family.

Cottage at the end of the road, just like in a Nicholas Sparks book adorable secluded, surrounded by nature. Hosts were only a message away if I needed anything. when I did venture out everything, including a beautiful Spring was only nine minutes away. The little yellow cottage is a definite go back again
