This property was everything the listing described. The house is reminiscent of old Florida, decorated in shabby chic style and is so bright, comfortable and homey. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. We especially enjoyed the beautiful sunsets that we could view from the patio and the paddle boat which we used many times. The owners were very responsive to any questions I asked and sent their repair person immediately when there was an issue with the dishwasher. I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, picturesque place to spend a vacation in Florida.

My husband and I loved the house. It is in a beautiful location on the lake and has everything you need inside. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of each and every room. There are many places to sit outside and relax.

House was clean, very roomy and bright. I loved the shabby chic decor. House was stocked with most things needed. owner was responsive to communication. We liked the location, close to Iverness, Homosassa and Crystal river but still very rural and private location. I did not care for the security cameras on the patio and out front. Apparently the Owner does check to make sure there are no undeclared guests. The master bedroom is located over a damp basement that is not ventilated. There was a definite mildew/basement smell that came up through the floor under the bed in that room.

We thoroughly enjoyed the few days we spent at this property.
My son, our chef, was very impressed with the kitchen.He had every pot and pan, bowl, and baking dish he needed to prepare meals. The house was very clean and orderly. The beds were comfortable and cozy. As the host stated, the floorplan has a lot of steps to manuever and I would not recommend it to anyone who has mobilty or balance issues. I rented this because it had a canoe, kayak and paddle boat available to use. Unfortunately, the 40 degree temperatures did not make water sports a good idea. Despite having to cross watersports off our schedule we had a very nice stay.

We enjoyed staying at the lake home for the week. We explored Hernando, Homosassa, & Crystal Springs. It was nice being able to explore the Tsala Apopka Lake using the kayak, canoe, and paddleboat. Our pups enjoyed going out in the boats with us. We enjoyed fishing from the paddleboat and dock. My husband caught a couple of bass. We also enjoyed visiting springs and beaches close by. We liked eating at The Burger Station, Mike's Other Place, & The Front Porch. Swampy's was a nice place to relax with our pups after a long day.

Bliss
We loved staying at this lake home on Hernando Lake. Very quiet (except an occasional air boat on weekends). Great little house with all amenities we needed for a relaxing fishing vacation. Very close to Crystal River, Homosassa and Rainbow River where we enjoyed awesome kayaking and just relaxing in the sun.

Had a great time on the lake!!
Cute home and thoroughly enjoyed bringing it boat and getting out on the lake.
Entering the home while raining was horrible. The water comes down hard right at the entry. Def needs to be fixed! Yard in the front needs a better presentation. Inside, there is a odor that we had to mask with candles. Cabinets around the house need to be cleaned out and organized.
Some updating needed

Comfortable Getaway
Centrally located to a number of outdoor activities. We rented this home to be on the water and be able to enjoy some outdoor activities. The house came with 2 bikes and is near a major bike trail that takes you through neighboring towns. It also has a paddleboat and a tandem kayak and canoe! It's close to crystal river and make sure you visit Rainbow Springs.

We can not begin to express how much we needed this place. It old my husband as we were walking out the door that I didn't want to leave. I truly took the time to disconnect from work and my husband was able to enjoy some fishing from the canoe. We will definitely be back!

This was the third time staying here and the lake and town never gets old. My wife and I were celebrating our second anniversary. The lake view is spectacular. Fishing is great, plenty of good size bass and the Dock is perfect to store a boat or vessel on and just hang out on. Will definitely be booking a future trip here again!

The home is older and could stand some updates. The master bedroom definitely needs a new mattress. The kitchen was suppled with everything, except there wasn’t any room left for groceries. The furniture was comfortable- very eclectic. The house was about 30 yards from the lake and there is outdoor table and chairs and metal couch. The plants in the front of the house need attention as well as the front of the house. Also there several steps in the house that you have to be careful of, and the road nearing the house is extremely bumpy. Overall it was a comfortable place, it had plenty of room. and we saw some beautiful sunsets.

Great fishing..Very peaceful. Covered dock was exceptional..the road into property was only partly paved...which made it difficult with trailer and mud from bad rain.

Wonderful Property on the Lake
Beautiful on directly on the lake. The home has everything you could want including a kayak, canoe and paddle boat to get out on the lake. The lake is lovely and quiet except for the air boats taking off from the launch across the lake. The bed is very comfortable and the shower was great. Lots of outdoor furniture to use. Perfect spot for relaxing or enjoying the lake and nearby springs!

Nice, but..
The property was in a nice location, on a lake with great views, and in a quiet neighborhood. The house itself was clean, but the kitchen utensils, drawers and A/C filters could have been in better condition.
The biggest issue was that 3 large dogs showed up while we were outside with our dog, who was tethered to a tree. The dogs were friendly, but surrounded our dog, which made him uncomfortable. After going inside, the dogs returned and came up to the sliding doors, which agitated our dog again. We had wanted to explore the area and go out for meals, but didn't feel comfortable leaving our dog alone in the house. So, instead of staying for the 2 nights we had booked, we left after one night.
