Property Description
Welcome to Let’s Live Canal Cottage in Old Homosassa! Our three bedroom, two bath cottage is located on a canal off of the Homosassa River, with nearby gulf access. Bring your small boat or golf cart to enjoy the area. There is a boat ramp at McRaes’s down the road and your small boat can be stored at our dock. Culvert access to the Homosassa River. This property also includes use of five kayaks and two bicycles. Get in your kayak and go to dinner! We are just minutes away on a beautiful walk to The Shed at McRae’s, The Freezer, The Monkey Bar and Monkey Island. There are so many activities that are so easily accessible from this property. Come enjoy the manatees and everything the nature cost has to offer! Enjoy this little slice of heaven! **Guests must agree to a waiver upon booking for use of the dock, kayaks, and canal as requested by our homeowner's insurance. We are required to have a waiver for use of water and water related activities to maintain coverage. Waiver is available under "rental agreement" tab in this listing. Optional pull out bed guests (in master) available for small extra fee of $10. Please let us know upon booking if this will be needed as this bed is not prepared prior to all check ins and extra linens are not provided with stay. Dishonesty regarding the number of guests that will be staying on the property will not be tolerated. ESPECIALLY if the number of guests exceeds the capacity limits that are set for the house. These limits are set for a reason. We do not provide air mattresses for extra bedding as the number of beds already in the house are ample for the guest capacity. Thank you. 🛥️Docking at our cottage: One vessel can be docked in the back of our home at a maximum of 15 feet. We are located beyond a height restricted tube/culvert, therefore vessels with center consoles, fixed canopies, and towers cannot pass through the culvert to dock at the property. Experienced boaters who are familiar with their vessel and tides may fit a pontoon through the culvert, however, we are ideally set up for docking a fishing skiff. We are located two minutes from two boat ramps and ample daily parking if our dock cannot accommodate your vessel. *Please contact me about the size of your boat that you plan to dock before you book! Let’s make sure it fits and can access the river through the culvert! We are also a pet free property! Please note that scallop season is a very busy time at the cottage as well as in the area. We often host parties of six at the cottage and are generally fully booked from early July through August. We work diligently to try to accommodate early check in requests, but also always want to make sure the house is ideal for our next check in and our guests are happy. Early check ins and late departures for especially larger groups during this time are more difficult to accommodate. Thank you for understanding! Please keep your party to registered guests only on the property. We do not allow extended visits and events/parties with guests who are not staying on the property. Please understand that this is an insurance liability. We also like to keep our amazing neighbors happy 😃 *Dishonesty regarding pets and smoking inside the home is not permitted. A $250 fee will be incurred for additional cleaning expenses. Please read full description of our property before booking. We would love to reiterate that our family absolutely loves our guests. We enjoy sharing our vacation home with others and are so happy when our guests enjoy it as much as we do. We are a smaller cottage in a quiet neighbor and not a large palace. The description of our home is very accurate with bed sizes, pictures of each room, and we are very clear about guest capacity limits as we do not want our guests to be uncomfortable during their stay. There are larger homes in the area that do fit larger parties. We, however, enjoy the comfort of our cozy cottage. While you are staying at our property, we want you all to be comfortable and have an enjoyable time. As your host, I do give our guests every opportunity for something to be addressed or rectified during your stay; whether that be number or towels or more blankets, we are happy to help you! Please before reviewing give us the opportunity to provide you with what you may need. It is important to us, but we cannot fix an issue that we are unaware of. We are people too and understand everyone’s needs may be different. Thank you so much!

Southern charm! Our family loved our stay at your this home. WOW! Someone put lots of forethought supplying so many things for the staying travelers! We never wanted for anything here with EXTRA supplies and the house was so clean...beds soooo comfortable. We bood a fishing charter with Captain Duane Tibbets in Homassa Springs and caught great fish that he fileted for us to cook and he was an excellent boat captain. The small canal in the backyard was so enjoyabled to look at on the porch or from inside dining room. The host was amazing and so friendly! Centrally located home to many fun places to go and so close to the marina! We would definitely LOVE to come back again!!!!
