This home was the perfect choice for our annual family (6) scalloping trip. It was very welcoming, clean, and convenient. Our pets were welcome and the pool was a great perk! It was about 20 minutes to Ozello Keys Marina (also great) which was where we boarded the boat. But the price of the house definitely made the drive worth it. Highly recommend!!

We were fortunate to find this lovely, pet-friendly home on our recent stay in Citrus Springs. My parents live in town and were hosting my brother and his family at their home, so we needed a quiet "base of operation" nearby but away from the crowd.
Host is friendly and accessible by text, and pictures in the listing are 100% accurate - what you see is what you get, which is always a relief when visiting a new home. The neighborhood is quiet and the home is neat, clean and well-appointed: plenty of towels, dishes, cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets - even baby gear and a desk chair in the garage for those that need it. One note: there are very few rugs and limited lamps/lighting throughout the home, making evening dining, reading, game night, etc. difficult.
Privacy-fenced backyard and screened in pool are INCREDIBLE on this property! I got to be the "cool aunt" and invite my teenage nephews over to swim and hang out on the huge covered patio so was very thankful for the entertaining space.
If you want to venture away from the beautiful pool, there isn't much in the immediate area, but a quick 15-20 minute drive puts you in the heart of "old Florida" and all the unique experiences the area has to offer - we tubed down the Rainbow River, visited a natural waterpark in Crystal River and had the best dinner on the water, watching boats go by in Homosassa (highly recommend Crumps Landing for a fun dining experience).
Would stay again and will recommend to family that come into town.
Thank you Angela. We had a wonderful long weekend with friends. The house was just as advertised. We were comfortably able to sleep four adults and three kids. The driveway was able to accommodate our 25 ft boat. We would stay at the property in the future.

Overall great place except it should not advertise that it sleeps 8. The “pull out couch” was not a couch at all but a futon that was very small and enough room for a small teen. There is no way 2 people would be able to sleep on it plus there were no linens for it or blankets. There is not enough lighting in the home. You have a table that sits 4 and no ceiling or light in that area. Each room lacked lights. Small issues, but issues non the less. The pool area is wonderful especially for families.
