Custom home great local, boat parking, near dock, food, scalloping, Manatee.

The house is very clean and up to date. It also is stocked with everything you may need, especially the kitchen. My family really enjoyed themselves and was close to all the fun Homosassa has to offer.

One of the best appointed VRBO's that we have stayed in. Comfortable furnishings, super stocked kitchen and friendly and responsive owners. Who could ask for anything more!

This is the BEST VRBO we have ever stayed in. Immaculate (so clean!) and comfortable. The furniture and beds appeared to be new - not your typical garage sale finds. Couch, love seat & chair were all recliners. Pair that with a huge HD tv - great to watch movies together in the evening. We lived on the back screened patio - beautiful yard & again great furniture setup. We didn’t cook, but kitchen had everything you’d need to cook. Even the master bathroom & shower exceeded expectations. Host was wonderful. Great communicator, even brought us home made chocolate chip cookies & coffee cake (thank you Mary Lynn). Would definitely stay again.

Check in was seamless, Host was quite gracious! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Very clean! They thought of anything you might need, from beach towels, extra pillows, comfy throws for lounging on the couch and EVERYTHING you would need in the kitchen to cook your meals. Nice dining area. Private, Quiet neighborhood, yet close to convenience stores,supermarkets and Marinas. Will definitely be returning! It was a most enjoyable place to stay!

The house was lovely, clean, nicely set up and a great location for our planned activities. The porch was a relaxing place to decompress from a busy day.

I can't say enough positive things about this VRBO! This was our second stay here, and just as comfortable and accomodating as the first time we came. The house has a great set up and floor plan with plenty of space to escape each other if wanted or gather as a family for a game or movie. I love the screened in back porch, and had coffee there every single morning of our stay! We also love the wooded area behind the house and the birds it attracts. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance of a local bar and a couple of eating establishments. We heard great horned owls one evening, and saw pileated woodpeckers multiple times. The house itself is fully stocked with necessities like beach towels, laundry soap, and cleaning supplies should they be needed. The hosts of this home are fabulous, and when I mentioned my son would be having a birthday while visiting, they had set decorations up for our arrival. They are very personable and available for questions. Thanks again Byrds and Mary Lynn for another awesome visit!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hosts are there to welcome you at your check in time and explain where to find everything. I mentioned when booking to the hosts that I was celebrating my birthday as part of our trip and they greeted me with a birthday card, balloon, birthday decorations in the house, and freshly baked cookies. That meant the world to me. The house was spotless and very warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable and plenty of closet and drawer space for clothes. There was a mirror in the master and in the queen room which was very handy for getting ready in the morning. There was a fully stocked pantry and even basic condiments in the fridge. Bathrooms had plenty of towels, wash cloths, shampoo/conditioner, and soap. Drawers full of plastic bags for snacks in the kitchen, and beach towels for going for a swim in the laundry room. There was an entire basket of local menus and other ideas for things to do. The sofas also have push button recliners with USB chargers which my mother now wants installed in her own home. The location simply can't be beat either for boating activities at the Homosassa River. We had an early morning manatee boat tour with Blue Heaven River Tours (highly recommend) and were only 3 minutes away from the boat pick up point at the harbor. Love, love, love this VRBO and hope to stay again soon.

Large, comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood, and excellently stocked by the hosts. Joy and Joe and daughter Lyn will assure that your stay will be most gratifying.

Stayed for 2 nights in December. Hosts Joy and Mary Lynn were wonderful and got us checked in and thoroughly went thru the house with us explaining where everything was. House is immaculate and impeccable. Kitchen is very well stocked. Very comfortable home and they even had a Christmas tree up. Beds are very comfortable. We won’t hesitate to book again.

The house was beautiful and very well equipped. The owner met us and showed us around the house explaining how things worked and how to reach her if we needed anything. The house had everything that you might need and then some!

We have stayed with this host before. Great location, clean, and safe neighborhood. There is two places to eat and have a drink within 4 minutes walking. The Homosassa Springs park just minutes away. We will be staying here again.

This is a gorgeous, immaculately kept home. The pride Joy and Mary have in their home comes through. Everything you could need is here and it’s convenient to Homosassa, Crystal River and all the area has to officer. Mary and Joy are a pleasure to work with. We had to work around 2 hurricanes and a mistake in booking by one of our party. They helped us through and we were able to have a wonderful trip. Currently looking at dates for the next trip.

Mary Lyn was very helpful & accommodating! The house was extremely clean & she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Even fresh baked cookies when we arrived! We will definitely be back to enjoy this home & the beautiful area!

2nd time staying here and it is always clean, and has anything you could need. Plenty of space and comfortable beds.

We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful home! The decor created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were especially appreciative of the thoughtful touches, like plenty of towels, essential amenities, and coffee provided, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to relax and get a great night's sleep. Overall, we truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay and can’t recommend this place highly enough! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

There is no surprise that this home and hosts have 5 star ratings! Communication was excellent throughout our time leading up to and during our stay. We were celebrating our daughter's 16th birthday. We arrived to the house and balloons, cake, and a present were waiting for her! Our travel down was long and exhausting but this surprise definitely brightened her spirits!

My wife Patricia and I had an amazing stay at Joy and Joe's beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath, home located in Homosassa springs. Everything was new, very clean, and well maintained. Joy and Mary Lynn were very attentive and accommodating. Mary Lynn made cookies when we arrived, and Joy even switched a Keurig coffee maker out with a regular one per our request! Our two night visit was perfect for us to relax and see the area. We enjoyed some of the local cuisine and relaxed in the ambiance of a smaller town. The two car garage was great because we brought two kayaks with us so I knew they were secure once we were finished for the day. Thank you again for a wonderful place to stay!

We only had 2 nights available but we booked it and loved it!!! Owners were amazing to deal with!! Even invited our family of 6 for Thanksgiving dinner. Talk about feeling at home! Was perfect for our family. Lots for the kids to do too! Will return for sure!!

Absolutely beautiful home with absolutely wonderful hosts! Joe and Joy were available anytime we needed them and are just really lovely people. Thank you so much! Al and Liz

We were able to come for a very short visit and had the pleasure of renting 2 of the Byrd properties that are located next door to each other! We had previously rented the Stilt House and had a wonderful experience so when we visited for my MIL 90th birthday we knew we needed two houses for our large group! Having them next to each other was perfect! This house was where we all gathered for breakfast, lunch, family time and just relaxing after a long day! These homes have everything you need and the Byrd family is available to answer any questions and help you with special requests anytime of day! Each home is awesome and we will definitely be back! The Bryd family are definitely Premier Hosts!

We have been stopping at The Freezer in Homosassa every year on our way south. We love the area and local restaurants and bars. Plenty to do in the area. We decided to make a 3 night stay and this house was perfect! The Hosts Joe and Joy were great. We rented a golf cart and the location is perfect for getting around. We will definitely be back!

My son and I stayed here in mid-December while in Florida to check off a bucket list item - swimming with manatees. The property was easy to find with clear instructions for getting in. The house was clean and inviting and even had some Christmas decorations which was a nice touch. Plenty of space and everything we needed for our stay was available.

This was the second year that we rented the same house for scallop diving. The house is clean, well stocked and even had some new furniture. The location is perfect for scallop diving. The owner is very nice and available.

House was fantastic and there was so much to do on the river near the house. Great restaurants on the river and bowling rental facilities.
