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. Just recently we’ve had a white peacock that visits every couple of days. We’ve named her princess. She is just beautiful !! There are also a great variety of birds in the area and most of our 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 cottage is a tranquil, beautiful peace of paradise. Located on a large corner lot with inviting seating on different spots along the stream. The inside is perfect for a couple get-away with many helpful necessities. We used the paddle boat with paddles for a short water trip. It is very convenient to Homosassa Springs state park and restaurants abound. Only downside is I wish we could have stayed longer.
We had a wonderful time here. The property was so cute. Just as pictured. The owner, Dennis, couldn’t have been nicer. It was so peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside and watching the wildlife. We saw a family of otters, lots of fish and the neighborhood white peacock, Princess. She was beautiful. It was definitely a great place to stay.
Absolutely wonderful place to stay!First night we watched a Bard Owl Fish. Everyday the water was bussing with life, too many fish to count. The last morning we saw young manatees and a loon. The cottage is perfect and has all the amenities to make you comfortable and feel welcomed. The location is perfect.
This locations is great for personal craft river access, manatee viewing, natural dock area, and relaxing back yard environment. We thoroughly enjoyed it. WiFi was slow but we didn’t have to have it. Thanks for this great VRBO!
What a quaint cottage nestled in a slice of heaven. Very clean, very attentive hosts and close to everything. If you love the outdoors, this is the perfect place. Cant wait to book again.
Great place, a couple items could have been better: mattress way too soft, floor was not clean, needed mopped and ghost ants all over sink and counter.
The property was amazing, very comfortable and quiet. The mix of old and new was incredibly done. The creek behind the house was peaceful and fun to look for animals.
I spent 3 nights at the cottage and wished I could have stayed longer. The property is very peaceful and exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed seeing a beautiful white peacock on the property grounds and a short canoe ride led us by an emu/alpaca farm. Enjoyed fishing, using the grill and nearby restaurants. This is definitely a property I would like to rent again.
Loved the cottage, enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night listening to the frogs and crickets, very peaceful. Totally enjoyed the water access kayaked multiple times.
