The place was excellent. Newly remodeled, comfortable beds and beautiful kitchen. Great stay for a fishing family and we loved using the kayaks for a paddle out to the river. Thanks for a great vacation!

Small wedding location

We stayed here for 5 days while having a wedding on one of the days. It was a beautiful location with a great backyard on the water. We got to use the boats and the fire pit and overall had a great vacation.

Annual Family scallop trip

This house was the perfect place for our family to stay during our annual family scallop trip. Our dogs also enjoyed having a yard to run around in as well. Added bonus is having “The freezer” right down the street! We hope to stay here again next year!

Family reunion

The property was just perfect for us during a small family reunion. It served as our base camp when meeting up with the rest of the family. Allowed us to regroup and freshen up after being with the little ones. I strongly recommend it and will stay there again.

Annual birthday scalloping trip

We had an Amazing time. The owners worked really hard getting the house ready for us as Hurricane Debby had quite the storm surge for Homosassa. House was large enough for the 8 of us and deep water canal was nice for our 26ft boat. We’ve been coming to Homosassa since 1996, and this was one of our best stays yet.

Absolutely perfect!!

We celebrated Christmas here and couldn't have asked for a better house, host and location! House was great with a nice open floor plan and the neighborhood was so quiet. This was our first time visiting this part of Florida and we will be back. Very different from the beach vibe and a welcome change. Can't wait to return and have more time to explore the area.

House was very comfortable and clean, kitchen is well outfitted with everything you need. We were able to catch some small mangrove snapper off the dock, so fun for the kids. The floating dock is a positive to not have to worry about tides and the boat lines. We were able to get a 23' pontoon out to the river on a very low tide, it was tight in places but doable. Only negative was no TV in the master bedroom.

Thumbs Up on Camp Oakie!

We loved our stay at Camp Oakie and would stay again. The place was immaculate when we arrived, great location, all amenities and extras were as stated. The house is spacious and comfortable, a large back yard on the water, perfect for our family cookouts, kayaking and boating. It is a great location to stay at in Homosassa. Our host was prompt in replying to any questions I had and all communication regarding the property and checkin/out procedures were simple and clearly stated. We recommend highly!

Camp Oakie Girls Weekend

Perfect girls getaway! Isolated setting for relaxation, close enough for convenient grocery shopping, restaurants, local attractions. Very clean, exceptionally so, and with 4 ladies critiquing, we would know! Love, love, love the beds and pillows! Ideal set-up for sleeping and daily preparations. Camp Oakie was adorable as is, hope the owners will continue to perfect their vision!
