This is our second time staying at a house of Joy’s. We rent a golf cart and get around that way. Plenty of things to see and do. The hosts are great people and we got fresh baked cookies and brownies. That’s a nice bonus. We would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Joy Byrd

Host profile image
My husband and I live about a mile from this property since 2006. Joe was born and raised in Homosassa. In 1961 He went in the Navy. I met him in California. We stayed there until we retired and bought a home on a canal near the Homosassa Wildlife State Park and the head of the Homosassa River. About a 5 minute kayak ride.

We enjoy hosting people in our short term rentals.

We love to kayak, boat, scallop and travel.

Why they chose this property

We own the house next to it and when our neighbors said they were going to sell it, we jumped at the chance. So now we have two homes side by side each with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Which is perfect for those people who want to have a family reunion or just travel with several couples. The ground level is all cemented in which gives you a great area to entertain outside even if it is raining.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of parking and an area where you can hook a RV up to power. Walking distance to taverns, and other places of interest. Huge oak trees line the street. Very beautiful setting.
