Tranquility in manatee country

Comfortable, spacious, well-equipped home in a quiet neighbourhood yet close to all Homosassa has to offer. Screened deck, sun deck and underneath offer a variety of outdooe seating. Spotlessly clean. Joy and Mary Lynn were friendly and very welcoming - Jared says thanks for the cookies!

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

Wonderful owners

Home away from home, super owners who couldn’t do enough for us. The house was decorated for Christmas what a wonderful touch. Everything was there for us no need to search for anything. Publix just down the road. The Coast food down the road was good being Europeans we walked there. Live entertainment at the Mill Tavern. Can’t say enough good things.

Anniversary Weekend

Had previously heard from friends about a great place to stay while in Homosassa. Booked to give husband a fishing weekend for our Anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed this property (all 6 of us), Everything was spotless, comfortable and lacked nothing. And the communication and generosity of Mary Lynn and Joy were above and beyond. They went out of their way to accommodate us and make it a memorable stay. The property is wonderfully quiet, spacious, well appointed and supplied and in a perfect location for fishing, boating and just relaxing.. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this place to everyone. And again, special thanks to Mary Lynn for all you did for us!

Wonderful Property and Great Host Family

This was an excellent property near where my family needed to be. The property offered more than just a place to sleep, was super clean, comfortable and offered many amenities. The Host Family was very kind, responsive and genuinely pleasant to coordinate our stay with. Communications were clear, concise and informative. While our time there was short we will certainly want to stay at this property again for a longer period of time. Definitely a "must stay" property. Thank you!

Excellent Home for a Relaxing Vacation

This was the best stay we have ever had using VRBO. Our host, Mary Lynn, was the best and provided us a fabulous home for our vacation. Everything and more was provided for us so we would enjoy our stay. We really loved being there. The home was clean, comfortable, relaxing, and there wasn't anything else we could have needed. Above and beyond any expectations of staying at a VRBO, it was a home away from home. This was by far the best vacation we have had and staying here had a lot to do with it. Highly recommend if you can get a reservation. We definitely will plan on staying here again next time we're in that area. Thanks again to Mary Lynn and her family.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Byrd

Host profile image
My husband and I live about a mile from this property since 2006. Joe was born and raised in Homosassa. In 1961 He went in the Navy. I met him in California. We stayed there until we retired and bought a home on a canal near the Homosassa Wildlife State Park and the head of the Homosassa River. About a 5 minute kayak ride.

We enjoy hosting people in our short term rentals.

We love to kayak, boat, scallop and travel.

Why they chose this property

We own the house next to it and when our neighbors said they were going to sell it, we jumped at the chance. So now we have two homes side by side each with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Which is perfect for those people who want to have a family reunion or just travel with several couples. The ground level is all cemented in which gives you a great area to entertain outside even if it is raining.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of parking and an area where you can hook a RV up to power. Walking distance to taverns, and other places of interest. Huge oak trees line the street. Very beautiful setting.
