Peaceful Waterfront Home, Daily Sunset, Dock, 3 Min to Boat ramp & Gulf Access
About this house rental
Our house has large picture windows overlooking the pristine waters and marshes all the way to the gulf. There are terraces to sit out and enjoy the sun and the sunset which happens right out front. There’s a private dock that takes you to the waters edge, where you can canoe or fish from and to our own island with a picnic table. There are a couple of public boat ramps, the closest being 1/2 mile away, and there is plenty of space to park a boat trailer on our property. The water depth at our dock varies w the season, but there's an extension that provides plenty of depth and a place to tie off (dock length is 16'). During the summer we have at least 1' of water at low tide and the bottom is mud. You can easily get to our home from the boat ramp and to the gulf. The house has 3 nice sized rooms with 4-poster beds and ceiling fans and a 4th bedroom with a futon double-bed (and a desk if you need to work). The Library, is a common room between the rooms where you can sit and read or enjoy the view and some solitude. While in the living room and dining room you can enjoy TV or talking with your friends while preparing a meal in the open kitchen. There is a Florida room that runs parallel to the living / dining room. With 3,650 square feet of space, this house is spacious enough for large groups, family reunions and entertaining with friends. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is well prepared for you. There is lots of land and privacy for you to stroll around the property. If you are looking to unwind and enjoy nature, this place will afford you the peace and quiet. Homosassa has many water activities on offer, such as, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, air boating, scalloping, swimming with the manatees and going for a swim in the gulf’s warm waters. There are also many homestyle restaurants with an emphasis on fresh seafood. There are also a number of attractions to keep you, your family and friends busy. We look forward to welcoming you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very large with many different areas for privacy as well as the big common room to come together. Everything was very clean and the beds were big and comfortable. The grounds are as lovely as the house, with numerous birds, fish and even a sea otter! We particularly enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks we rented from David, the very helpful property manager. We are already planning our return!

Wonderful location the house has plenty of space unfortunately it wasn’t super clean. One toilet had feces in it. Trash cans were full. Back door did not lock, and the decks and stairs are in poor condition and definitely need to be taken care of right away. If you love fishing, or just peace and quiet, it’s your place the stars at night are amazing with a little TLC. This could be a wonderful place for years to come.

This place is huge, old style decor throughout and all the wood working around the place was cool to see. Great fishing from the island lots of reds, stingrays and sail cats. Crabs are plentyful from this spot too. All in all we decided as a group this was our best rental location yet and priced perfectly. We will be looking ahead to book for our next monthly getaway. Outdoor decks and down stairs lounging areas are great for hanging out.

If you would like to experience an Old Florida that most don't even know exists, this is the place for you. The views from around the house are stellar. The home comfortably accommodates a group of eight with plenty of spaces to spread out. The exterior decking is not pristine, but the interior is well kept. If you bring a boat be sure to watch the tides as there are shallow spots to the gulf and river that are not marked. The kitchen was for the most part well stocked, but missing salt/pepper and coffee filters.

We loved Charlie’s place!! This place was huge. I have never stayed in a rental that had so many amenities. . Everything I needed to do laundry was provided and The kitchen was equipped to feed a crowd of 50! I can’t say enough good things about this place. We spent 90% of our time outside and in the downstairs screened in area. We are already planning our next trip!!

Talk about an old Florida getaway! This property is much larger than pictured! Easily could have family, friends, and whoever else you would want with plenty of different rooms to entertain. The property is super isolated and quiet, we loved getting up to coffee and sitting out on the dock.
The location is great too, it's just a mile or so from downtown Homosassa, a super easy drive to a couple of cool local bars and food places, and just a little further to Homosassa Spring.
All in all it was a great stay! No major complaints! We are already planning to come back with a bigger group next time!

The property is amazing. Very secluded Old Florida.
Kayaked everyday in the backwaters. We were basically alone other than the occasional fisherman going by. We loved the place.

You won’t find anywhere as quiet and secluded in this area. House is bigger than it appears in the photos. It is decorated in Asian decor which is lovely but most of the furniture is uncomfortable to sit in. There is a fabulous view and sunsets are beautiful. We enjoyed the deck but again the furniture was not comfortable and needed some TLC. Overall our group was happy with our two weeks in Homosassa.

My husband, 3 year old and myself booked this house while visiting family in town. It was the perfect location. The dock was perfect for my 3 year old to explore and run up and down..... overall, the home was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We would definitely book this home again, and highly recommend to any one seeking a tucked away get-away!

This was our second stay and we still absolutely love it here! We would not want to be anywhere else in FL. Clean, spacious, and we can’t think of a better house to be comfortably in marsh nature.

Gorgeous, spacious home. So peaceful to just relax on the outside dock. There was so much to do at the house, we only left the house once to get blue crab chowder & grouper sandwiches at The Crab Plant (so good). We watched dolphins playing right off the dock. Explored the property and walked to the side island. Tire swing was fun. Enjoyed the screened in area below the house on a rainy day. This was our 2nd stay & this time we were able to appreciate the property more. Thank you so much!

We truly loved our long weekend retreat. The property is beautiful. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but really only a couple minutes from Old Homosassa. If taking a boat, its shallow but doable if you don’t draft much. We just took it slow and easy until we figured out where to go. We will definitely be back.

The pictures do not do this property justice. It’s a wonderful place. Total privacy. Lots of space both inside and out. I don’t leave reviews but this place warranted it
4.0
This property is located in what feels like a remote and private part of Old Homosassa. The views overlooking the water and marsh are gorgeous and quite stunning. The house is a bit of a maze, but it has more than enough room for friends and families and is still extremely functional. The pictures don't do the master bedroom justice with the views out of the wrap around windows. The owner was extremely communicative and helpful with any question we had. If planning to keep a boat at the dock for the trip, definitely watch the tides and do your research as it can be very shallow getting out to the Homosassa River, but completely possible with the right knowledge of the waters.
5.0
The house, property and views are combined into the perfect relaxation package. Plenty of room to spread out indoors with a large, yet cozy, living space. The downstairs screened in area is a great place to hangout during the Florida afternoon rainstorms. Catching sunset from the rear sunroom, upper decks, or long boardwalk/dock are the perfect cap to the day. 10/10 will be back again.

relax and recharged
We have enjoyed Charlie house many times since 2020, and have loved it every time. This visit we were here with our friends family and they felt more relaxed and peaceful from this vacation then any other vacation rentals prior. We definitely look forward to being your guest again soon.

The view simply cannot be beat. We had a wonderful stay. The dock and view are incredible. Beds are very comfortable, everything was clean and as we needed and the kitchen has all you need to cook in. There is even a second kitchen in the screened in porch under the house to cook up your fresh catch. We really enjoyed the game table and games but spent most of our time exploring the area or soaking in the view.

A month at our favorite vacation spot.
Words cannot describe how idyllic Charlie's Homosassa home is. This was our 3rd stay, and we'll look forward to future visits. If you like the Gulf Coast, and surrounding yourself with the ultimate in serenity and seclusion, this is place. The house is more like a palace, more room than you could believe. The top selling point to us is the very long boardwalk to your private floating dock. Too many plusses to enumerate here. I should mention that we feel Charlie has become a personal friend through our communications. We will always remember our trips to Homosassa as our finest rentals ever. Rick

The property was perfect for our weekend in Homosassa. We enjoyed the spacious rooms and the views were incredible. Unique and beautiful furniture is throughout the house. We really enjoyed staying there and can’t wait to rent it again… hopefully for a longer period of time!

This house has so much to offer, you can have a fabulous vacation without even leaving the property if you wanted to! We loved being able to take our paddleboards on the river right off the dock, and I spent most of my time doing that or relaxing in the hammock or enjoying the warm winter sun on the deck. I love the privacy of this home tucked away in its own lovely little wilderness at the end of the road. The kitchens have everything you could ever need, and I loved that we could eat in the screened patio area, on the deck, or inside, all with gorgeous views. The kids loved the tire and rope swings, and we also loved the thoughtful details like games in the game room, a shelf full of toys that kept my 5 yr old entertained, and a binder full of suggested places to eat and things to do. There’s even a nursery with a pack n play and rocking chairs just off the master bedroom! We didn’t have need of it, but as a mom that loves to travel, I took note of that very thoughtful addition. From the eclectic decor to the gorgeous sunsets to the stunning views and wildlife (great place for birding!), we enjoyed every magical moment we stayed and definitely plan on returning!

We loved our stay at this lovely rental. Charlie was always quick to respond to my emails. We loved how secluded it was. We wanted a family get away and this was perfect. We had a pretty bad storm the last night we were there, the wind blew things around and the water rose pretty high in the streets but we felt totally safe. The house is amazing. We will return.

We absolutely loved our stay in Homosassa. The house and surroundings were just amazing. We saw manatee, dolphins and an otter right from the dock. The variety of bird life that visited the property kept us entertained for hours. The house was very clean and comfortable. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

My wife and I loved this house and property.

We’re here for 3 days. Spent the first 2 exploring the property and the surrounding area. Enjoyed the laid back vibe of the area, friendly people and good food. Had a severe weather event that kept us inside on day 3 with lots of rain and wind. Thoroughly enjoyed that experience and how the environment reacted to the onslaught! Felt cozy and safe in the house and the bluster as we ventured out. Will definitely come again.

Almost perfect!.
The home is very clean and has everything a person needs to have a great meal with family. They had plenty of linens for each bedroom and bath. I think the beds are not comfortable but everyone has their own ideas of comfort. We look forward to staying again with our memory foam.
