Tranquil Waterfront Cottage. 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom. Sleeps 2

Lovely, beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage for 2 adults. Perfect for your honeymoon or romantic getaway, but if needed there is room for 2 small children on the living room sectional. You are overlooking a Crystal clear waterway that leads to the Halls River. The River runs thru several lakes on its way to the Homosassa River then to the Gulf of Mexico. Good fishing in crystal clear water right off your patio. Bass, Bluegill, Mullet, Porgy, Sheepshead & stingrays are some of many different varieties that frequent the area. The cottage is a great area for sight seeing, manatee, porpoise, otters, turtles and stingrays frequent the waterways off your dock. Several great blue heron, ibis, many bard owls and wood storks also frequent your back yard. Just recently we’ve had a white peacock that visits every couple of days. We’ve named her princess. She is just beautiful !! There are also a great variety of birds in the area and most of our waterways are bird sanctuaries . You have a dock for a small boat and plenty of room to park your boat and trailer. The cottage comes complete with life vests, 4 person paddle boat, 2 kayaks and a canoe. A lovely yard that is fenced on 2 sides has water on the other two sides. A quiet and charming area to relax.

The cottage is nicely decorated. Very cute and comfy! Jim fished the entire time & caught a lot of blue gill. The water is clear & you can watch the fish swim by. The property is lovely. If traveling with your pet it is perfect. Fenced in no leash required! We had a lovely time.

This is the perfect out of the way place to stay. It is clear the owners have put a lot of effort in making the cottage enjoyable. The little touches were much appreciated. The outdoor area, beside the small lazy river, is beautiful and relaxing.

There are so many lovely things to say about this property. Quiet, beautiful and the owner has added so many small touches that you feel like a guest in their home! It rained the whole time we visited, so we did not get to use the Kayaks, but we will be back next year and hope for better weather. Can't wait to explore this area more! Thank you for a great weekend !

Lovely cottage in great surroundings

We had a great 2 night stay in the cottage. Its a good size and everything was provided to be self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to see a manatee, otter, lots of turtles including a snapping turtle and catch lots of fish. Grocery stores and eateries a short drive away.

Cute cottage with great backyard

The water in the backyard is why I selected this place, and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful, beautiful canoe trip from the cottage up and down Halls River. There were lots of fish and we found some manatees. They came to look at us and swam around the canoe.
