Great Homosassa Stay

We have been stopping at The Freezer in Homosassa every year on our way south. We love the area and local restaurants and bars. Plenty to do in the area. We decided to make a 3 night stay and this house was perfect! The Hosts Joe and Joy were great. We rented a golf cart and the location is perfect for getting around. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful home, wonderful hosts, wonderful experience

We booked our trip many months in advance. This rental was the best home we ever experienced. The hosts met us on arrival and gave us a complete tour of the property. They provided many extras as well as beautiful, spacious living accommodations. They were available any time we needed anything. We were able to enjoy our month long get-away in a relaxing, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We hope to be able to return again in the future.

Manatee Birthday Trip

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hosts are there to welcome you at your check in time and explain where to find everything. I mentioned when booking to the hosts that I was celebrating my birthday as part of our trip and they greeted me with a birthday card, balloon, birthday decorations in the house, and freshly baked cookies. That meant the world to me. The house was spotless and very warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable and plenty of closet and drawer space for clothes. There was a mirror in the master and in the queen room which was very handy for getting ready in the morning. There was a fully stocked pantry and even basic condiments in the fridge. Bathrooms had plenty of towels, wash cloths, shampoo/conditioner, and soap. Drawers full of plastic bags for snacks in the kitchen, and beach towels for going for a swim in the laundry room. There was an entire basket of local menus and other ideas for things to do. The sofas also have push button recliners with USB chargers which my mother now wants installed in her own home. The location simply can't be beat either for boating activities at the Homosassa River. We had an early morning manatee boat tour with Blue Heaven River Tours (highly recommend) and were only 3 minutes away from the boat pick up point at the harbor. Love, love, love this VRBO and hope to stay again soon.

Lovely!

Stayed for 2 nights in December. Hosts Joy and Mary Lynn were wonderful and got us checked in and thoroughly went thru the house with us explaining where everything was. House is immaculate and impeccable. Kitchen is very well stocked. Very comfortable home and they even had a Christmas tree up. Beds are very comfortable. We won’t hesitate to book again.

Very nice

The hosts prepared the kitchen for our early family Thanksgiving lunch with extra utensils, decorations and ambiance. The house sits within 1 mile of TONS of things to do and that was helpful. Places to visit: CATTLE DOG CAFE, ISLAND GIRL CRUISES. We can't thank our hosts enough for the hospitality and thoughtfulness with the dinnerware and decorating they did for our trip. It was a hit!!!! Everyone loved it. All in all.....house was superb and I hope we can stay here again soon!!!!

Great Weekend Get away

This is a gorgeous, immaculately kept home. The pride Joy and Mary have in their home comes through. Everything you could need is here and it’s convenient to Homosassa, Crystal River and all the area has to officer. Mary and Joy are a pleasure to work with. We had to work around 2 hurricanes and a mistake in booking by one of our party. They helped us through and we were able to have a wonderful trip. Currently looking at dates for the next trip.

Luxurious House and Perfect Location

This is the BEST VRBO we have ever stayed in. Immaculate (so clean!) and comfortable. The furniture and beds appeared to be new - not your typical garage sale finds. Couch, love seat & chair were all recliners. Pair that with a huge HD tv - great to watch movies together in the evening. We lived on the back screened patio - beautiful yard & again great furniture setup. We didn’t cook, but kitchen had everything you’d need to cook. Even the master bathroom & shower exceeded expectations. Host was wonderful. Great communicator, even brought us home made chocolate chip cookies & coffee cake (thank you Mary Lynn). Would definitely stay again.
