Back to our Hometown

Dear Anita We wanted to extend our sincerest gratitude for such an incredible stay at your beautiful home in Florida. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the impeccable decor and spaciousness, making it the perfect haven for our family vacation. Our journey from Washington DC to Florida was lengthy, but the warmth of your hospitality made it all worthwhile. Your generosity in allowing us to check in early set the tone for a truly memorable experience. Despite a minor setback with one of our drivers suffering from sun poisoning, your flexibility and understanding in accommodating us for an extra day exceeded all expectations. Being natives of Homosassa, we appreciated the convenient location of your home, which allowed us easy access to all the places we hold dear. Overall, our trip was a resounding success, thanks in large part to your graciousness and the comfort of your home. We're already eagerly planning our next adventure to Florida and can't wait to return to your welcoming abode.

Absolutely awesome stay!

If we could give The Blue Nile a 10 rating we would! The house is centrally located in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood of five houses. All the neighbors were friendly but not intrusive. We felt safe staying there, almost as comfortable as our home in Maine. The inside was spacious and well laid out. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, linens and toiletries were all provided as well as cleaning supplies. Anita was not in the area while we were there but always available via text for any questions. The Blue Nile has everything anyone would need. We stayed there for 7+ weeks and would love to return sometime in the future. It is truly a wonderful place to have as a home base while spending time exploring the Homosassa area.

Spacious Relaxing Oasis

This property is gorgeous. Nice very large fenced in back yard, with an Amazing firepit. Spacious screened in frot porch. The open floor concept makes this a great vacation get away for a family or a group of friends! Anita, took timeout of her schedule to buy hot dog forks, since she knew we were going to use the firepit. The home was exceptionally clean and decorated nicely. We felt like we were at home! We can't wait to plan our next trip to, The Blue Nile!! Anita is an amazing owner and answers any question you may think of!! Anita is a very gracious host! Our first VBRO experience was 100% amazing 👏

About the host

Hosted by Anita Young

I purchased this property to have a second place to call home. Sunny Florida was a great choice. I love going back and forth when I can to relax, go to the beach enjoy the ocean and eat at great restaurants, especially on the waterfront.
My home base is Colorado and have lived in Longmont since I was 6 years old. I have been a realtor for 26 years and have volunteered at the OUR Center for 15 years.

Why they chose this property

I love this peaceful location nestled in a quiet and private enclave. Relaxing on the front lanai listing to the birds and looking at both the palm and pine trees is just soothing.
