About this property

Waterfront Retreat paddle to main river and springs in minutes for summer fun!

  • Charming Waterfront Retreat with Classic Florida Flair—Perfect for Summer Fun, Paddling & Great Local Food

    Escape to a peaceful slice of Old Florida charm in this beautifully updated waterfront home, nestled along a deep-water canal just off the iconic Homosassa Springs. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the laid-back Florida vibe—offering a quiet retreat while still being just minutes from local restaurants, shopping, and attractions.

    Relax and Unwind

    A cozy living room plus a bright waterfront sunroom, each with a TV, provide comfortable spaces to relax. The sunroom’s expansive windows overlook the water, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening unwinding.

    Tropical landscaping and a spacious waterfront backyard create a lush and inviting outdoor oasis, complete with a covered seating area, picnic table, smokeless fire ring, and floating dock.

    Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with all-new cabinetry, elegant marble countertops, beautifully updated bathrooms, and fresh finishes throughout, providing a clean, comfortable, and stylish stay.

    Space to tie up your boat during your stay

My family had a wonderful time staying at this cozy property. We spent four days paddle boarding to the spring, manatee watching and fishing, and one day at Pine Island Beach. The four seasons room was a nice hangout to still feel like we were outside when it was cold a couple days. The home was very clean and seemed very recently renovated. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything you would need to cook any meal with the only pan missing being a flat sheet pan. There were plenty of blankets, towels ect when we curled up on the couch and played the many games and watch movies. A fire pit would have been nice for those cooler days but there was a fire ban anyways so likely couldnt use it. Marguerita Grill was fun and close and also recommended the Freezer. The restaurant by Monkey Island had a great view. Would highly recommend this home to anyone.
