We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. The River House is a favorite of ours as well! A fun location for building memories. We look forward to your return visit.
The Riverhouse at Tradewinds was amazing! House is super clean and conveniently located to Old Homasassa and scalloping grounds. Having a private boat ramp is a plus. Looking forward to coming backing next year

Our pleasure having you and your crew at our place! A great time to visit… A long July 4th weekend!! Please stay again with us! Fun!!
This was a beautiful place to stay and felt like home. We recommended it to everyone. The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed. Wi-Fi was easily accessible, as was the boat ramp. Check-in was simple. Decor was lovely. Loved the fireplace and porches. Don’t pass this up. This was for a 4-day anniversary stay - we loved it. Dave & Brittanny
We were happy with everything: exactly as advertised, the neighborhood is quiet, nice view of the river, we enjoyed all 3 screened in porches with fans, the kayaks and bikes were a nice addition, the house had everything you need, good beds, AC worked perfectly, prompt communication with hosts and yes we would stay again!

Thanks for staying with us! We very much enjoy The RiverHouse! So close to the pool and the River!! A fun place for sure! Please come and stay with us again!
Our stay at Joan & Peter’s in January was very comfortable. We had a lovely time despite cold weather. This home has a great spot by the Homosassa River. Since it actually froze one day, we spent that day at the State Park, about 5 minutes away. It was awesome to see the fish huddled together in the spring because of the cold, and the manatees were all gathered near the park’s observation deck.The warmer day we spent on kayaks, looking at the manatees. The river was so nice.The kitchen has everything you need to cook, and we made a big pot of soup, which was perfect for warming us up. Our favorite things about the house were use of the garage (we stored our wetsuits and kayak equipment), the many balconies, proximity to the river, access to the boat ramp, the fishing dock and how reliable the owner is with questions. Plus a big soaking tub in the master bath, after we got back from a long day was so nice!!We will definitely be staying here again.

Wow! Seems like the ideal enjoyable vacation! Especially the soup part! Sorry about the cold… nothing stopping a good crew from enjoying their stay! We look forward to having you stay again! It’s was our pleasure!
We absolutely loved staying at the River House! Joan was an amazing host and very informative. During your stay you should rent the golf cart if it’s available, it definitely was convenient for getting around the park.

The RiverHouse is a fun place! Close to pool and a short walk to the River and the fishing pier! It was our pleasure having you as guest! So glad that you enjoyed your stay! Please come again!
Great Location in between the springs and the restaurants and the gulf. Loved having private boat ramp. House was as described and has a great view of the river from the porch. Can fish from the docks and catch catfish galore.

We love the location as well. The catfish off the dock are a good size and abundant! So much fun for everyone to catch!! We love the fishing dock right on the river! Thanks for staying at our place!!
We had an amazing stay, owners were quick to answer a question I had about the golf cart, sent a text the morning after our check welcoming us therefore making it very easy to contact them when we did have that one question, the home is very well kept definitely would stay again
