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. There is a great variety of birds in the area.The 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 was the perfect place to stay for our two nights in Homosassa! The Hosts were very helpful, they had great recommendations. We took their word and visited Birds Underwater for Manatee tours and that was incredible. Definitely recommend checking them out. Thanks again!

Cozy Unique Cottage
The cottage is decorated with a mix of antique and modern. I was pleased with the ocean decor also. There are puzzles,movies,and plenty to do in the backyard!!! Everything you need is provided including toiletries. The tub was amazing. I love bubble baths and that was even included!!! So many fish in the canal. I even spotted a turtle. We canoed to the Emu Island and that was a treat in itself. We were going to cross the lake to try to find the sandy part to swim but we spotted an alligator that day and I immediately changed my mind!! We rented a pontoon boat and spent an afternoon in Kings Bay. There are many different restaurants on the water and that was an EXTRA for me. The owners live next to the property which is very convenient if you should need anything. Dennis is so nice. He greeted us but after that we had all the privacy we needed. Just take time to sit in the backyard and enjoy nature (but bring bug spray).

Vacation getaway
Spent our anniversary weekend at the cottage. Went to homosassa and Crystal river on boat tours. We used the peddle boat at the cottage and went down the canal. At end if canal was an Emu island, very interesting as they even had an alpaca. Cottage was well supplied. Even caught a bass fish in the canal. Place was a litle tricky to find as the cottage is tucked in on their property but they were home to guide us. Very relaxing weekend getaway

We Needed a break from our stressful jobs. We wanted some place quiet and away from the crowds. This was perfect. It felt secluded but was close to town. Every time I walked around outside I found something new, whether it was cute decor or wildlife. I loved it!

Amazon little cottage! It is kept in incredible condition! The owners stocked it with every conceivable amenity. We couldn't decide if we were going to take the canoe, paddle boat or kayaks out on the water. Would definitely love to come back!

This was the perfect place to relax and get close to nature. Every day was a great adventure. We saw a manatee, otters, bald eagle, alligators, barred owls, several different hawks, turtles, emus, water snake, osprey, and plenty of fish! The place is surrounded by lush woods an is very private. The hosts were wonderful and friendly. We will be back as often as possible! Love this place!

Beautiful property. Cottage was super clean and had everything you needed. Gas grill was clean and the canoe, kayaks & paddle boat were perfect to get around the waterway. No lies they had several manatees in the area. So much fun! Super nice added touch were the tiki torches, perfect for the evenings. We already plan to be back soon.
