This is one of the good ones. Extremely clean, roomy, new appliances, comfortable furniture and beds. Hosts were very pleasant but unobtrusive.We had room for everything we brought (boat and trailer, golf cart, truck) and there was still plenty of room for several more vehicles. It's a quiet neighborhood, there is minimal road noise from traffic a block or so away. If you're inside, you hear nothing.Highly recommend this home, it's an all-around winner!

This is our second time staying at a house of Joy’s. We rent a golf cart and get around that way. Plenty of things to see and do. The hosts are great people and we got fresh baked cookies and brownies. That’s a nice bonus. We would definitely stay again!

Great location in Homosassa, close to boat ramp and river. Parking for boat and cars is abundant. The home is very clean and well maintained. It has a nice large outdoor covered entertaining/relaxing area. I thought the fresh baked cookies were very thoughtful. The check-in checkout process was very time oriented. They like to meet and greet, which required me to stay in touch with them since I was unsure of an exact arrival time. It made me feel anxious and rushed instead of relaxed. It took the fun out of exploring the house to find the nice things the hosts do to make you feel comfortable. I was asked on the day prior to checkout day what time I thought I would be leaving so they could clean with checkout instructions (the owners had already given at the meet and greet AND were on the info paper) even though checkout time was standard 11:00.

Great place for memorial day weekend

The place was just what we needed for a long weekend. We were met by the owner's daughter and she showed through the house. We even found fresh baked cookies that she left for us. It was a perfect location to base from as it was right in the middle of the activities we were doing.

Tree House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is on stilts so it gives the illusion of living in a treehouse. Beautiful home, yard, and close to everything! Mary Lynn, Joy, and Joe were like family due to their communication and attentive to any needs. We didn’t need anything though, because they thought of everything! If ever you plan a trip for a relaxing vacation, full of fishing, scalloping, airboat rides, boat rides for sightseeing, or just a getaway, I recommend this 100%!

Lovely home close to restaurants and nature

The home was comfortable and clean with lots of seating areas for games and dining. Loved sitting on the screened porch in the morning. We only used the main bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Joy and Mary Lynn were very friendly and were available for any questions during our stay. We will return
