Yellow bird

Upon arrival read the local information guide I have written and start enjoying the “Nature Coast” of Florida. It is essential to read this to get the most from your trip. Use my kayaks and paddle over the manatees in Crystal River, fish the gulf for saltwater or freshwater fishing at Lake Rousseau, and take a leisurely paddle down the Rainbow River in Dunnellon. Kayaks are on a trailer that has a 1 7/8-inch ball.

Peaceful Waterfront Home, Daily Sunset, Dock

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 118 reviews2 weeks ago

Our 2nd stay here. The house is so unique with its furnishings and spacious layout. Large great room and separate sunroom overlooking wildlife salt marshes and pier and river. Special treat to see mother Manatee and calf near the dock. Enjoyed off pier crabbing and having crab at the Freezer. Almost nightly sunsets and tropical scenery of true Old Homosassa. Had a great time and recommend this place for a private, quiet vacation with lots to do.

Boutique Above the River

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 268 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay here. Highlights were the back balcony overlooking the river that we used each morning and evening, plus the availability of single and double kayaks that we used every day. No manatee sightings, but it had been unseasonably warm. A few items that are worth mentioning. The bedrooms face the street, and with fast traffic, caused unavoidable noise in the morning. The driveway to the house was very steep - our van made it in and out ok, but that could potentially be problematic for others. Some of the kayaks were missing handles or grips that would make it easier to move them and get in/out of the water. Relatively minor details, and we still very much enjoyed our trip and would recommend this place.

5 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews1 week ago

We had a great stay at Chimera. We brought our own tubes and floated from their other property upriver and back to this property saving us $120. The float took about an hour and a half. Parking at their other location was well marked. The walk from this rental back to the other location to pick up our vehicle took about 40 minutes. The walk was through a neighborhood slightly uphill without side walks. It’s not a bad walk for adults or teenagers. Using the kayaks was great.The river water by the private dock directly on the river at Chimera has two sandy river bottom patches we stood in and swam around. The current river depth was about five feet by the dock. We saw Fred the bird, fish, small turtles, a young bobcat, and four otters swimming/feeding by the dock almost every day. We did not see any alligators during this stay but have along the river during previous trips which have avoided humans. Chimera is in a great river location. Hal and Sandy are friendly and take ownership pride

Andrea is a wonderful host. The property is as described and the location makes it easy to feel secluded and immersed in nature. Wildlife spotting is frequent and the river access for fishing and kayaking is easy to enjoy. The house has an open central area with expansive windows as well as great views from all of the comfortable bedrooms. This property is best suited for people without dogs and for people who do not intend to take walks in the neighborhood.

We had a great time at the lake! The house was very clean and check in/check out was simple. Norma and Allen are great hosts and we felt right at home. We enjoyed the lake and sitting on the back porch and dock was so relaxing. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

The Nature House

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 89 reviews9 months ago

Very nice home, located within 20 minutes to the springs, hiking, and restaurants. We loved the seclusion, the home’s architecture, and the detached BBQ screened-in shelter. The large backyard is great for the activities they provide (cornhole, mini soccer, and tree swinging). We were there in the summer but the water level in the back was too shallow to launch the canoes but that’s no problem with tons of local kayaking options. The house is on a 12-minute drive dirt road that can be difficult to find at night. Also, the house does not have any cell reception but the house has ok WiFi speeds to stream movies and use FaceTime (voice); that’s the price to be in seclusion, peace, and nature. Check in and out were a breeze and the indoor amenities are nice. We recommend this home for a nice getaway.
