This the second time we’ve used this host. Both in different homes. There are not words enough to give them the best praise. You definitely feel like friends from the moment you meet Mary Lynn. Everything in the house was perfect, decorated for Christmas with great care and appeal. The home was meticulously clean and we even had fresh hot cookies delivered the first night! If you are in looking in this area, this is a must. We’ve already booked for next Thanksgiving. Definetly a gem

We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful home! The decor created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were especially appreciative of the thoughtful touches, like plenty of towels, essential amenities, and coffee provided, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to relax and get a great night's sleep. Overall, we truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay and can’t recommend this place highly enough! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This will be our go to home!

Check in was seamless, Host was quite gracious! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Very clean! They thought of anything you might need, from beach towels, extra pillows, comfy throws for lounging on the couch and EVERYTHING you would need in the kitchen to cook your meals. Nice dining area. Private, Quiet neighborhood, yet close to convenience stores,supermarkets and Marinas. Will definitely be returning! It was a most enjoyable place to stay!

I can't say enough positive things about this VRBO! This was our second stay here, and just as comfortable and accomodating as the first time we came. The house has a great set up and floor plan with plenty of space to escape each other if wanted or gather as a family for a game or movie. I love the screened in back porch, and had coffee there every single morning of our stay! We also love the wooded area behind the house and the birds it attracts. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance of a local bar and a couple of eating establishments. We heard great horned owls one evening, and saw pileated woodpeckers multiple times. The house itself is fully stocked with necessities like beach towels, laundry soap, and cleaning supplies should they be needed. The hosts of this home are fabulous, and when I mentioned my son would be having a birthday while visiting, they had set decorations up for our arrival. They are very personable and available for questions. Thanks again Byrds and Mary Lynn for another awesome visit!

After staying here for a fishing trip last year, my husband and I decided it was the perfect place for a "whole family" fishing trip! The location is perfect and the loaded kitchen is perfect to cook all of our catches!!The cookies are just the added bonus.Thank you again, Lynn and Joy, we will be contacting you again soon.Lynn and Drew

Great Homosassa Stay

We have been stopping at The Freezer in Homosassa every year on our way south. We love the area and local restaurants and bars. Plenty to do in the area. We decided to make a 3 night stay and this house was perfect! The Hosts Joe and Joy were great. We rented a golf cart and the location is perfect for getting around. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful home, wonderful hosts, wonderful experience

We booked our trip many months in advance. This rental was the best home we ever experienced. The hosts met us on arrival and gave us a complete tour of the property. They provided many extras as well as beautiful, spacious living accommodations. They were available any time we needed anything. We were able to enjoy our month long get-away in a relaxing, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We hope to be able to return again in the future.

Manatee Birthday Trip

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hosts are there to welcome you at your check in time and explain where to find everything. I mentioned when booking to the hosts that I was celebrating my birthday as part of our trip and they greeted me with a birthday card, balloon, birthday decorations in the house, and freshly baked cookies. That meant the world to me. The house was spotless and very warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable and plenty of closet and drawer space for clothes. There was a mirror in the master and in the queen room which was very handy for getting ready in the morning. There was a fully stocked pantry and even basic condiments in the fridge. Bathrooms had plenty of towels, wash cloths, shampoo/conditioner, and soap. Drawers full of plastic bags for snacks in the kitchen, and beach towels for going for a swim in the laundry room. There was an entire basket of local menus and other ideas for things to do. The sofas also have push button recliners with USB chargers which my mother now wants installed in her own home. The location simply can't be beat either for boating activities at the Homosassa River. We had an early morning manatee boat tour with Blue Heaven River Tours (highly recommend) and were only 3 minutes away from the boat pick up point at the harbor. Love, love, love this VRBO and hope to stay again soon.

The hosts prepared the kitchen for our early family Thanksgiving lunch with extra utensils, decorations and ambiance. The house sits within 1 mile of TONS of things to do and that was helpful. Places to visit: CATTLE DOG CAFE, ISLAND GIRL CRUISES. We can't thank our hosts enough for the hospitality and thoughtfulness with the dinnerware and decorating they did for our trip.

Great Weekend Get away

This is a gorgeous, immaculately kept home. The pride Joy and Mary have in their home comes through. Everything you could need is here and it’s convenient to Homosassa, Crystal River and all the area has to officer. Mary and Joy are a pleasure to work with. We had to work around 2 hurricanes and a mistake in booking by one of our party. They helped us through and we were able to have a wonderful trip. Currently looking at dates for the next trip.
