Charming Stilt House on the Homosassa/Halls river WATERFRONT
GORGEOUS CANAL FRONT HOME (HALLS RIVER/HOMOSASSA RIVER) KAYAKERS DREAM! This is a 2 bed, 1.5 bath home. Sleeps 5. Quality & efficiency throughout this charmer on a little-known canal, a true piece of natural Florida beauty. Kitchen is gorgeous with gleaming stone countertops over beautiful, grained wood. Eat at the island. Stainless appliances finish out the kitchen. Access to the BBQ balcony right off the kitchen with a hidden screen to allow the cook to not feel left out, but not letting the gnats & skeeters inside. Relaxing living room with plenty of room to kick back & watch some tv &front entry can be used as sitting area for relaxing with a good book. The bedrooms are good sized, one with connecting door to bathroom with a California split king bed. The other with Murphy Bed & desk area there is a folding rollaway bed located in the closet. Downstairs 1/2 bath with toilet & sink, laundry. Also, downstairs is ready for all your river house enjoyment with fridge, tv box, fans, & lighting! Of course, the main attraction is the waterfront! Manatees frequent the canal, as with any body of water in the state of Florida beware of alligators. Dock is in place, so just bring your pontoon, skiff, or flats boat...BUT canal entry/exit will not accommodate much draft, so shallow draft boat with jack plate is ideal also you have to go under the bridge leading out of the hall's river so a high T Top is an issue depending on the tide. If you have a deep V boat or an inboard this is not the house for you if you want to keep your boat at the dock. If you have a flats boat or pontoon you should not have a problem getting in and out of the canal. The only issue might be, you would need to be able to lay down your top/Bimini to get under the bridge. When the tide is low there's just enough clearance to get through canal (about 3 ft) just stay in the middle and go slow. mid-high tide there should be no problems. Some of the locals that use the canal say they never had a problem going in and out. The property is just a few blocks away from boat ramps. Room for trailer on property. You can access the Gulf of Mexico or go to the spring to enjoy manatee. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that you can access by boat or car. Crumps, The freezer, Florida cracker, MacRae's, Margueritta Grill. The house comes with five kayaks 4 single person Kayaks and a double person kayak that can also be a single just by moving the backrest forward from the rear. Paddle to the local restaurants or to the springs to enjoy manatee. in the laundry room you will find 4 adult life jackets 2 youth and 2 child and paddles. Also, in the laundry room besides the 1/2 bath washer and dryer and sink are some fishing poles and a set of corn hole boards for your pleasure. In the shed behind the house, you will find two bicycles one womanâs and one manâs beach cruiser. When leaving in a kayak or boat you can either follow the halls river upstream and enjoy some little-known hidden springs for snorkeling or just paddling around or head to the main river and paddle up to the Homosassa Spring located at the head of the river. Dogs only ,50Lbs or less, maximum of two 50.00 per pet per stay.
It was a great little vacation home. It had everything you needed and more. Got to see an alligator and a couple manatee in the canal. Would definitely recommend
This place is unbeatable for cleanliness, location and amenities. Very quite area with acess to just about anything you could possibiliy need or want. This place had all the comforts of home. I'd definarely stay again.
House was great! If you bring a boat it is a little bit of a ride to get to the main river through shallow water. Otherwise, driving a car itâs a great location!
The location is perfect. A quick couple of mikes to Homosassa and 20 minutes to Crystal River. It is quiet location. If you like to fish, mullets are flying out of the water off the dock. The place has everything for a wonderful visit.
We wanted a getaway that would be quiet and relaxing. This property was perfect. The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. Our granddaughter and her husband spent one day with us and absolutely loved fishing from the doc and Kayaking. I would definitely stay there again.
This property is perfectly located, well provisioned and exactly as advertised. No issues at all. 5 female friends stayed and had a great time. Will stay again. Highly recommended.
House & property are even nicer than photos. Very attractive updates inside house. Peaceful yard and dock for hanging out. BBQ grill appeared to not have been cleaned from previous use, but cleaned up easily for us to use. A very enjoyable weekend.
Beautiful property. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom house and toilet and sink in laundry room in basement. Best for 2 couples or family 0f 4 to 6 with little kids Very nice furniture and kitchen complete with very nice dishes, silverware and cookware. Very comfirtable beds. On a canal so lots of fun waterfront activlty with Kayaks to use. We would rent again if we come back to this area. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood . 5 star for sure...
Nice location- central to Crystal River and Homosassa for exploring. Beautiful clean home- prettier than the pictures. Communication with the hosts was great.
This property is one the best setup and ready for whatever your needs are that i have ever rented!
I would recommend this site to anyone that i know.
Kudos to this propert owner!
What a find! The home, location and amenities far exceeded our expectations! Loved the fact that this home was centrally located, but yet situated in a very quiet area of a canal with easy excess to the river. Would enjoy staying here again on another visit.
The property was perfect for our family of three and our dog. We loved being able to kayak in the waterways behind the house and really enjoyed the outdoor space downstairs. The house is just off the main road which was a definite plus for us. We can't wait to come back!
This was by far my favorite vacation rental anywhere! The house is stocked with everything that you could need for a vacation (even a springform pan in case you want to make a cheesecake!)We took advantage of the kayaks, fishing equipment, and paddle boat. Caught some fish off of the dock and did some bird watching. House is centrally located to anything that you might want to do. Very close to bars/restaurants, Homosassa Springs State Park, and Crystal River. This was also one of the cleanest properties I've ever stayed at. 10/10, would love to come back again to show my family Homosassa. Thank you so much for having us!!
Beautiful home, with everything you need. Very clean. Nice location. Caught fish right from the dock. Enjoyed sitting outside watching the wood ducks and other birds.
We found this home during our last minute search for a poorly planned spring break. It truly saved the vacation! The home is lovely, clean and well stocked. We loved fishing off the dock, kayaking in the canals and relaxing on the front stoop and watching the water for alligators, turtles, flying mullet and manatee. Would recommend to anyone lookin for a good getaway with plenty of fun free things to do.
Thank you Tom for sharing your little piece of Heaven with my family!
This spot has litterally EVERYTHING you possible need, and the host was super helpful with getting my inlaws to us by boat. Super close to everything, cozy, clean and just simply perfect! I can't say enough good things!
The house was great had all the amenities that we needed. Very clean, the carport was great to hang out in, with a outside tv, fridge and lots of seating. The only con was that you canât get your boat down the creek during low tide. Besides that it was a great little place to stay.
