1-bedroom cottage just 3 minutes drive to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park
This cozy pet friendly cottage lets you catch fish right from your own doorstep! It is a cozy cottage with a nice size bedroom with a king size bed. The kitchen is well stocked and has a full-size refrigerator, stove and microwave. The living room has a beautiful waterfront view. The Tiki bar in the photos is your space as well (there is a door into another unit opening into the Tiki bar for access only).
You can catch your own bait: pinfish, crabs or mullet. You are likely to see dolphins and manatees from your living room. There's a screened-in bar area with comfortable chairs to nod off in. You are minutes by boat or car to the Homosassa Wildlife Park.
There are many fine restaurants in the Homosassa and Crystal River area for your enjoyment of quaint Florida Southern cooking.
If you would like an IMMACULATE quiet place for great fishing or just as a place to nod your head give us a call. I believe this could be the place for you at an affordable rate. If you are looking for a place to entertain your friends while staying at the Rod'n'Nod, we would suggest that you kindly look elsewhere. The cottage is perfect for a couple. It is not suitable for additional overnight guests.
You are welcome to bring your own boat and dock right outside. The Florida record tarpon was caught just a mile or so from the cottage.There are two kayaks ready to go and a charcoal grill free of charge
We traveled to Homosassa so I could check off my #1 bucket list item-swimming with the manatees. This nice little cottage was in the perfect location for all we wanted to do. Relaxing mornings sitting by the water and evenings ending the same way. Close to excellent dining options, beautiful drives, and a nice quiet neighborhood. The homeowner was very responsive when we had any questions. Highly recommended this property if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay.
This was an amazing property. John and his wife were the prefect host. Property was clean and very well maintained. We will stay there again when we visit next time.
Absolutely a TEN! Even on a busy holiday weekend the neighborhood was quiet and restful. Great location. One morning a manatee surfaced directly in front of the cottage.
This is the most adorable, clean place! Perfectly decorated to make it a homey water property. Every detail for things you may need these owners have thought of down to the cutest starfish and crab hair clips :) The owners communicated quickly and were so helpful. We will be back!
John and Rosemary were great hosts and very helpful and friendly people. The house is only 20 minutes from the springs by boat.
Looking forward to our next visit.
Everything was perfect for our stay. Clean, quiet and just as described. Our boat was right at the doorstep. Easy trip to the fishing. Rosemary makes great brownies and John was helpful with info. We will stay again
This cozy property was perfect for my husband and me! We enjoyed seeing manatee and otter, and fishing right out our patio door! Comfy bed! Beautiful sunrises over coffee on the patio. John and Rosemary were great hosts! Loved our conversations and the brownies! Would definitely recommend for a coupleâs retreat!
This cottage was lovely for a getaway for my spouse and me. It was impeccably clean and fresh-smelling, and exactly as it appeared in photos. The location is easily accessed and conveniently located near several good restaurants and a Publix store. We enjoyed sitting on the quiet canal-front deck in the evenings. The owners were quick to respond via texts and left us a sweet surprise: a plate of fresh homemade cookies. Thanks for a lovely stayâŠweâd be happy to return.
The property was too small and having to share boat dock with other tenant. The cottage was very small for 3 persons. Unlikely to rent this place again unfortunately.
This was a nice little place and we did enjoy our visit but we didnât know we would be sharing a common area in between another rental home. Thankfully the people were very nice and we had no issues but still it wasnât disclosed in the rental advertising. At times it was a bit weird and a little awkward but all in al it was a nice vacation and will probably go back to the homosassa area.
If you love water, there is no better location than this one. I grew up on a houseboat and this is like that but without the gentle rocking. Kayaks were available so I could launch right off the porch. Itâs only a 30 minute paddle to Homosassa Springs. The wildlife that visits is great to watch. The cabin is very sweet. It has a comforting feel to it and had everything I needed in the kitchen, linens, bathroom. The only snag I had was with the tv. Several times I had to go through the setup again in the morning, then it was good for the rest of the day. The owner already had the password entered so it wasnât that big of a deal. The screened porch/tiki area is a very nice area to relax in. It is a commons area for both renters. My renting neighbors in the adjoined house were delightful. In a nutshell, Iâm coming back!
upon arrival could not find the key & was frustrated in having to contact owner. Thought the owner would contact us before arrival which would have been a thoughtful thing to do since we had expressed it was our 50th anniversary weekend get away. But we know that everything is about the money so we live & learn so won't be back.
Excellent property. Very peaceful. They graciously provided everything we needed for our 5 night stay. John and his wife were excellent hosts & extremely accommodating. They went over & above. Quality linens, fluffy towels, washcloths & very clean throughout cottage. They provided full size bar soap, ample toilet paper, paper towels, Keurig coffee pods, garbage bags, etc, plenty of hangers, fun games. They were not stingy in any way, shape or form. Great boat dock for our 17' boat. Quiet friendly neighbors on the canal. Rosemary made us a delicious cake one night. The best dessert we had on our trip was hers. Our dog loved the grassy fenced in little yard. We saw numerous manatees & birds. Would absolutely stay here again. Seafood Sellers, recommended by our hosts, had the best food. All fresh! We ate there several nights. Highly recommend.
Another great week at this quaint establishment. Well stocked, clean,comfy bed and the sheets and towel smell so good. Scallops plentiful this year. Took the tandem kayak to Hunters Springs park n kayaked to Three sisters Spring. Had a epic stay. Thank you
Everything you need is right here. I was impressed by our accomodatiins. Fully stocked with linens,keurig,and even games. Big yahtzee fans,brought iur own only to discover there was one there. Restaurants within walking distance. Easy access to the gulf. Very clean and the people in Homosassa are truly top shelf. Well be back. Thank you for being so accomodating to extend our stay.
