Charming Waterfront Canal Home in beautiful Old Homosassa! 5 Kayaks, Dock, Bikes
About this cottage rental
Situated in Homosassa, this charming cottage for $190 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Welcome to Let’s Live Canal Cottage in Old Homosassa! Our three bedroom, two bath cottage is located on a canal off of the Homosassa River, with nearby gulf access. Bring your small boat or golf cart to enjoy the area. There is a boat ramp at McRaes’s down the road and your small boat can be stored at our dock. Culvert access to the Homosassa River. This property also includes use of five kayaks and two bicycles. Get in your kayak and go to dinner! We are just minutes away on a beautiful walk to The Shed at McRae’s, The Freezer, The Monkey Bar and Monkey Island. There are so many activities that are so easily accessible from this property. Come enjoy the manatees and everything the nature cost has to offer! Enjoy this little slice of heaven! **Guests must agree to a waiver upon booking for use of the dock, kayaks, and canal as requested by our homeowner's insurance. We are required to have a waiver for use of water and water related activities to maintain coverage. Waiver is available under "rental agreement" tab in this listing. Optional pull out bed guests (in master) available for small extra fee of $10. Please let us know upon booking if this will be needed as this bed is not prepared prior to all check ins and extra linens are not provided with stay. Any guest staying from 7-8 guests will be evaluated on a per booking basis and an additional charge of $25 per guest per night will be added. Dishonesty regarding the number of guests that will be staying on the property will not be tolerated. ESPECIALLY if the number of guests exceeds the capacity limits that are set for the house. These limits are set for a reason. We do not provide air mattresses for extra bedding as the number of beds already in the house are ample for the guest capacity. Thank you. 🛥️Docking at our cottage: One vessel can be docked in the back of our home at a maximum of 15 feet. We are located beyond a height restricted tube/culvert, therefore vessels with center consoles, fixed canopies, and towers cannot pass through the culvert to dock at the property. Experienced boaters who are familiar with their vessel and tides may fit a pontoon through the culvert, however, we are ideally set up for docking a fishing skiff. We are located two minutes from two boat ramps and ample daily parking if our dock cannot accommodate your vessel. *Please contact me about the size of your boat that you plan to dock before you book! Let’s make sure it fits and can access the river through the culvert! We are also a pet free property! Please note that scallop season is a very busy time at the cottage as well as in the area. We often host parties of six at the cottage and are generally fully booked from early July through August. We work diligently to try to accommodate early check in requests, but also always want to make sure the house is ideal for our next check in and our guests are happy. Early check ins and late departures for especially larger groups during this time are more difficult to accommodate. Thank you for understanding! Please keep your party to registered guests only on the property. We do not allow extended visits and events/parties with guests who are not staying on the property. Please understand that this is an insurance liability. We also like to keep our amazing neighbors happy 😃 *Dishonesty regarding pets and smoking inside the home is not permitted. A $250 fee will be incurred for additional cleaning expenses. Please read full description of our property before booking. We would love to reiterate that our family absolutely loves our guests. We enjoy sharing our vacation home with others and are so happy when our guests enjoy it as much as we do. We are a smaller cottage in a quiet neighbor and not a large palace. The description of our home is very accurate with bed sizes, pictures of each room, and we are very clear about guest capacity limits as we do not want our guests to be uncomfortable during their stay. There are larger homes in the area that do fit larger parties. We, however, enjoy the comfort of our cozy cottage. While you are staying at our property, we want you all to be comfortable and have an enjoyable time. As your host, I do give our guests every opportunity for something to be addressed or rectified during your stay; whether that be number or towels or more blankets, we are happy to help you! Please before reviewing give us the opportunity to provide you with what you may need. It is important to us, but we cannot fix an issue that we are unaware of. We are people too and understand everyone’s needs may be different. Thank you so much! Kindly, The Rost Family

This cottage has everything you need for a nice stay in Homassassa!
Communication was seemless with the owner.
The location is ideal & close to everything, but you feel like you are away from it all.

Amazing!!! That’s the only way to describe this property and owners. Had a hiccup with getting into the place but solved in less then 5 mins because of the quick response from the owner :)
Property actually exceeded our expectations…. Kids were excited to sleep in their own beds after 2 weeks of sharing beds lol. Will definitely be back!

Charming and lovely property nestled in Homosassa, was much bigger inside than the exterior would lead you to believe. Well put together and owners were very receptive to questions and making our stay that much further above and beyond. Will return again!

Although it rained the entire weekend we enjoyed our stay greatly. With a family event just around the corner it was the perfect location, and near McRea's and Florida Cracker. The place was decorated for the season with lights and all amenities were available.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lets Live Now Cottage… every detail was thought of and Shannon and her family were wonderful hosts. It’s a very peaceful neighborhood, and a darling and immaculately cared for piece of property on the river. My coffee tasted so much better in the morning on the porch enjoying nature out by the canal. The kayaks included in the rental were also a fantastic touch. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time and got some much needed relaxation during our stay. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Shannon and family!

Want for nothing
This home was the cleanest and best decorated of all the houses we had looked at. From spices to paper towels to garbage bags there was no need to immediately run to the grocery store to stock up on items you would be forced to throw away because you couldn’t take them home on an airplane. Although we wished the lanai were bigger, we found ourselves there every morning and evening listening to the fish jump in the canal. Also it was perfectly situated for us and our small fishing boat. Not only was there ample parking in front but an aluminum shelter was just right to protect the boat from tree debri and sun. The home is close to 3 major rivers and several small gulf beaches, as well as The Homossasa Wildlife Park and numerous parks and trails. With super comfy beds and a spacious master bathroom, this place fit our every need ( although at times I did wish for a dishwasher,) we would recommend it as a terrific vacation spot,!

Wonderfully decorated and cozy cottage, very roomy for inside. Screened porch comply space to watch canal. Great BBQ area.
Mostly we spent time in the kayaks exploring all the common, and some of the less one en areas are f the Homosassa river and tributaries. The bike option would be cool to try even though we ran out of time.
Shannon, the host is a great source of ideas on if you don’t know the area :)

Delightful Cottage
This cottage was extremely comfortable and convenient. The location and neighborhood were private and located perfectly for us to travel north and south. The Fort de Soto beaches, Crystal River manatees and Rainbow Springs park were all easy drives. Lots of delicious restaurants in the area. I appreciated the small touches that helped us feel welcome within the cottage (which felt like a home), and the attentiveness of the host to our comfort. We had our own kayaks but we used their bikes to explore and we took our boats out into the canal to open water (from the backyard!). We will stay here again! Lots of space for more guests than just us two!

This property is as pictured - what you see is what you get! Quaint and charming, very simple 'old Florida' feel, great owners, interesting little corner of Florida! We had a fun time exploring and this cottage was just what we needed for our quick trip to the area. We hope to be back soon - several fun looking spots on the beautiful river still to experience. Thank you, Shannon!
