"The Three-Hour Tour" Looking for an escape? Take a 3-hour tour and plan to "get lost" in the heart of Homosassa Springs! This unique location has frontage on the Homosassa River and on a canal. 4000+ sq ft, of ground-level home with a heated pool, docking for multiple boats, trailer parking...and it's all in the heart of the crystal clear springs, on the Homosassa River. This sprawling "Old Florida" home has some charmingly dated features but has been stocked with all new furnishings and fun toys! Outdoor security cameras are in use at this property A note from the owner: Thanks for considering being our guests. Part of our joy in being stewards of this fun property is sharing it with others. To ensure that we may continue to do so, I’ll offer a few thoughts on our expectations. Before booking, please be sure you’re in absolute agreement with what follows. I don’t want your deposit – only peace. We like our neighbors and they like us, and I have zero patience for anyone upsetting that balance. These policies exist to ensure that we can share this house with good folks like you for as long as we’d like. Please make sure your guests know the rules, too. Fun is absolutely encouraged - but abuse of our neighbors and/or the property is not allowed. 1. Please limit gatherings to our thoughtful occupancy limits. If you’re looking for a place to party, look elsewhere. This property is NOT AN EVENT SPACE for parties and special occasions. 2. This is a smoke-free property. No smoking inside or outside. 3. Wrap up your outdoor noise by 10pm. Make sure it happens. Outdoors, after 10PM, no loud music, no obnoxious shouting, no drunk-laughing, and no fireworks – I don’t care what the calendar says. 4. We provide a heated pool, 4 kayaks and 2 paddleboards, a dock, a fire pit and a lovely house. Please care for them like they’re your own. We understand things get worn when used, but please don’t abuse. More details about the property: There's enough room for 14 castaways, with 6 bedrooms, 2 full and 3 half baths. Which character will be your host? The Millionaire - 1 king bed with full bathroom & half bathroom The Movie Star - 1 king bed Mary Ann - 1 king bed The Professor - 1 queen bed with half bathroom The Skipper - 2 twin over twin bunks (sleeps 4) Gilligan - 1 twin over futon bunk While you're outside, take the kayaks or paddle boards to explore the river and Homosassa Springs – the crystal clear water will give you a great view of the marine life below. Feeling fat? Watching manatees from the dock works wonders for your self-image. You'll also see fishes, rays, otters and crabs. Or take a dip in the screened-in, heated pool. Cook for the entire crew with the propane grill and big Blackstone griddle outside. Enjoy your coffee on the back patio. Cruise to the Gulf - no bridges to clear. And there are lots of fun waterfront restaurants for boating destinations. Spread out inside--there's enough space to make memories in the "wreck room" with ping-pong or foosball tables. Relax in the "SS Minnow" sunken living room. Prepare a meal in the stocked kitchen and eat together in the large dining room. Later, everyone can retreat to their own private bunk. Enjoy this home base for scalloping, birding, fishing, or to swim with the manatees! While you won't be shipwrecked on a deserted isle, we hope you'll enjoy time away from your regular day-to-day. Thanks for looking!
