This was probably one of the best homes we’ve stayed in! So CLEAN and spacious. Beautiful decor. Brit was quick to respond and was able to get us checked in a bit early when our plans adjusted. Great recommendations for local restaurants and tourist attractions. It was wonderful to have the golf cart to get to restaurants for dinner. We would definitely stay again if we come back to the area!

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas. We were in town for a family Christmas, and it was wonderful to have our own accommodations. There was plenty of space, a ton of amenities, and communication was frequent and thorough. We did have a bit of trouble getting in, and our hosts quickly resolved the issue and checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. I highly recommend working with Brit and Brandon and staying at their beautiful property.

House is beautifully furnished and decorated; very clean, NICE towels, bedding, etc. cozy & comfortable, would return to Brit’s pink Sea Cow and stay longer next visit. Garage was also pristine, organized, with kayaks, scooters, and of course the amazing golf cart!

We had 2 families of 4 stay (4 kids, 4 adults) and the location was perfect! So clean, very updated and we loved the addition of the golf cart. Such a nice large piece of property, as well it felt very private and the location to the boat ramp was excellent. The kids loved the bunk beds and TVs in each. So many great details, we would definitely stay again!

The house is so cute and very quiet. Very close to some of the BEST eating in Citrus County. The use of golf cart adds to the excitement of the stay. Great place for kids too with huge yard and bunk beds that each have a tv. The back porch has good fan and is screened and my favorite place.

We needed to go to Florida for my Dad’s funeral, so wasn’t really a vacation for our family. But we didn’t need to do anything when we got in the house, it was extremely clean. everything in the house was awesome. and the beds were very comfortable. We did have a little time to use the golf cart which my family enjoyed and when we reached out to our hosts they were very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great time. This house offers every amenity you could want for the area, from kayaks for the springs and river to a golf cart for getting around old Homosassa. The owners have created a beautiful place to rest and relax. The grounds are full of fun filled wild life, right along with a bottle brush tree. There is so much to do and you’re right in the middle. Thank you for a wonderful place!

We had a great stay in Homosassa for the month of January escaping the cold of MO. We both work from home and had zero issues with connectivity. We found the town quaint and welcoming. Brit was an excellent host and the house was perfect for us. It was nice to have the golf cart to tool around in down town and hit up the local bars/eateries.

Our Stay at the SeaCow Shack was wonderful. The house was so nice, clean & comfy. Extremely well decorated & the screen porch was a great spot to hang out. Huge plus was the golf cart to get around to the local restaurants. That was super fun. We loved our stay & highly recommended the SeaCow Shack. We will be back to stay The Hicks Family

This home was absoultely beautiful. Nice big yard, close to everything. Super clean, no clutter, beautiful decor. Stayed at many airbnb and vbro and this was the nicest. If this was my house i wouldn’t want to rent it out it is that nice. I am a clean freak too so just beatiful. We are going to find a reason to go up there again to stay.

Homosassa is a wonderful place to visit. So much to do in old Homosassa, Crystal River, and Inverness being minutes away. Restaurants, shopping, swimming, boating… The Seacow Shack was cosy and comfy and had all the things needed for a long stay. The only downfall is that it is not fully fenced as the description states, so if you have pups that you are bring with you, make note of this. Other than that, the location is great for a gulf cart ride or just a walk to local restaurants, Just minutes car ride to activities in Crystal River and Inverness. There is a small beach in Crystal River, but a hour or two to major beaches like Clearwater and Honeymoon Island and others. Some really cool towns were Cedar Keys (north of Homosassa) and Taron Springs (south). Thank you for a wonderful time.

We loved our stay! We had a blast! The house was clean and well kept. The house had everything needed for the stay. The location was exceptional with its proximity to swimming with the manatees, fishing, and restaurants. We recommend the peel and eat shrimp at The Freezer. The kids loved the pizza at the Florida Cracker. Also, the kids loved the bunk beds. The golf cart was nice for the short rides to the docks and town. Definitely a great place to stay. Thanks!

Positive: Everything was excellent. Access was easy, and when we arrived the house was immaculate. This was one of the most well stock rentals we’ve ever stayed it! The bunk beds were a huge hit for the kids, and if any questions came up, the hosts were easily accessible. Can’t wait to plan another trip back!
