Very enjoyable stay - house provided everything we needed and more. We were there for both a birthday celebration and scalloping adventure. The boat dock sink was perfect to clean our catch. Took two of the Kayaks out for a paddle. House clean and well tended. Plenty of privacy and room for us all

Beautiful home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property looked just like the pictures. The home had everything we needed as far as kitchen appliances, dishes, silverware. Plenty of towels. Enjoyed sitting on the porch. We loved the kayaks and mule. We took the mule to get ice cream. We visited the Wildlife Park which was very close and Ft Island which was a cool little beach. Would highly recommend this place!

Perfect Getaway

What an amazing place to stay! Jennifer’s correspondence with me from the get go was timely, warm and inviting. The house was amazing and as beautiful as the pictures! They had everything that we needed and more! She supplied towels, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, coffee, kayaks and a golf cart! Forgot your razor, there was one in the drawer! The big grocery store is convenient out near the highway, there is also a small grocery store within walking distance. The bar/ restaurants that are within walking distance or better yet, a golf cart ride away, are fun! We planned on eating in more but could not resist the shrimp at The Shed (MacRaes) or the Freezer. There are several other restaurants close, but we didn’t get to those. We used the kayaks twice, once for fishing and once to paddle up to the springs. That was a bit of a paddle, but so worth it! It had gotten warm, the manatee were going out, but we did see 1! On the way, we enjoyed the undeveloped coastline and saw a couple alligators and about a dozen huge turtles resting on fallen trees. And so many birds! Hawk, Eagle, pelicans, heron, Ibis, ducks and more! We also rented a pontoon at MacRaes and headed to the Gulf. That was fantastic and reasonable. I think I’d hire a fishing guide next time, then you don’t have to buy a fishing license (it’s included) and really catch something! We also went to the Homosassa Spring Wildlife State Park, we enjoyed that very much! Great location, fun, safe community, amazing house! I would definitely recommend this to all. Couples, friends or a family, so much to do! My favorite part was relaxing, having morning coffee or a evening glass of wine on the deck! We felt very comfortable being there, like your home away from home!

Cool porch

Rented this property w a fishing buddy for a week of tarpon fishing. Convenient to restaurants and MacRae’s Marinia. Great to have a golf cart included. Cool nautical decor. Beds super comfortable. Great TV. Plenty of room. Jack n Jill bathroom was tricky to get used to, but not a big deal. And best of all, a great porch to hang out on with 2 ceiling fans.

About the host

Host profile image
Brian and I love Florida Living, we live in Fort Lauderdale but had to have a home in Old Homosassa. We come from the hospitality and real estate industry, so your experience is our most important goal. We love to fish, scallop and spend quality time family.

Why they chose this property

From the moment we saw it, Doe Key (play on our last name of Doak) as in Okey Dokie. The home grabbed us. Its so private and tropical, close to all the fun spots of Old Homosassa. Its spacious and offers you all the comforts of home!

What makes this property unique

Private boat ramp on the property, RV and boat parking, canopy trees, amazing location. Warm comfortable feeling. We have fishing Kayaks and a golf cart (Kawasaki 4x4)
