Hellgate Island scallop house, boat access only
Visit Hellgate Island Scallop House, a unique waterfront property only reachable by boat. Experience luxury living on your own private island. Immerse yourself in serene surroundings and tranquility. Just 15 minutes to the many boat ramps and 15 minutes to the gulf. Fish right off the dock for snook, redfish or the occasional tarpon. Porpoise, manatee & river otters are a common visitor. There is a large deck / dock for grilling and entertainment or just unwind in the large hammock. We have two docks one on the front of the house directly on the Homosassa River and the back dock on the protected back lagoon.

Scallop House
This was the cutest little getaway from home—the perfect location for scalloping or heading to the springs. The host left ice cream, fresh fruit, and water for us. We loved that they had dog bowls to make our pups feel included. We can't wait to come back.

Absolutely Amazing
My husband and I were thrilled to be the first guest to the Scallop House. What a beautiful comfortable place. The owners Bill and Bobbie did a fantastic job with the renovations. It was truly like coming home every afternoon after being on the boat all day. There are 2 docks, the front one homed our 33’ Palmetto and the back one homed the 18’ Carolina Skiff with no problems. There is a back deck that was perfect for hanging out in the hammock, a table and chairs under a nice shade, a fire pit with more chairs and a grill which made it perfect for cooking and hanging out with our friends. There is a perfect little front yard for the pets, which was perfect that we were able to bring the fur baby. The owners left us a great fresh fruit bowl, ice cream in the freezer and bottles of water, they were absolutely amazing to deal with and very accommodating. We will definitely be back and 100% recommend. Thank you so much we will never forget our time there.
