We will stay here again.

Property was well kept, very clean and comfortable. It is close enough to conveniences yet far enough to be peaceful. The "Upper Deck' was very nice to relax on over looking the water. Use of the kayaks was a plus.

Fun spot!

The Upper Deck was just as described. The hostess was very attentive. The location s great because it is feet away from the Homosassa River, a short drive to fun restaurants and the wildlife preserve. The free kayaks and paddleboards were wonderful bonus!

Great place to scallop!

Absolutely great place to scallop! Location was awesome and convenient. The boat ramp is a bit tight. If you go with just two people both need to know how to launch the boat and get the truck and trailer back. The neighborhood is tight so be accurate. The owners were amazing and checked in with us prior and post stay. Will definitely go back!

Disappointing with descriptions

Place was listed with boat ramp, but there was no dock or place to tie your boat up when using the ramp, and it could use some work. Also, description said you could keep your boat in the cove nearby, and it had rocks, and was mucky. So, it turned out unusable for us.

Easy living

Our trip was cut a tad short however, Nadeene was amazingly helpful and responsive. The Upper Deck is a beautifully quaint getaway with a maritime theme that will take your breath away. The house was completely prepared for my family, to include the kitchen. I cooked a big breakfast and the kids sat around the tiki bar to eat. We literally needed nothing but the food we ate. Thanks Nadeene!

Swimming with the manatees

I booked this house because it was water accessible and it came with kayaks for our enjoyment. The highlight was kayaking amongst a large pod of manatees! We were pleasantly surprised with a delightfully decorated house inside and out. Flowers were adorned on the dining table and a welcoming sign greeted us. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck watching boats and other kayakers paddle by. I have a need for walking and there is an RV park nearby and I was able to get my 10 thousand steps in each day. There are delicious restaurants and grocery shopping nearby. The owner was in touch in case of needs, however we were enjoying our stay without any issues. Thanks for your hospitality
