Having come from a week at a Universal Studios Resort, I was looking forward to seeing the "real" side of Florida, as well as some reasonable prices! We LOVED the area! I highly recommend an airboat ride with Capt Stu. Also, if you take Fort Island Trail off Rt 19, it leads you to a beautiful sand beach where you... more

We rode motorcycles over for the night from East Coast of Florida and LOVED the area - plenty to do. We arrived at 1:30 did a Captain Stu airboat ride at 5:00 after nice lunch at Monkey Bar and downtime around pool. We rented john boat at Macrae's next door (would call ahead) the next day and went to springs... more

The view is beautiful, monkey island, area homes along the river, etc. The yardarm burger with homemade potato chips is delicious, but the food is quite expensive. The drinks are great... more

We just stayed one night and left early in the morning for a manatee tour, and had just the basic motel room. It was nothing... more

This place was a total surprise. It is way off the beaten track and right on the Homosassa River. Our room was beautiful with our own private deck overlooking the river. We had a wonderful little kitchen. Everything about it was great! Everything you need is here. My daughter went swimming with the Manatees right from our own dock. The... more

the floors were stained, the bathroom light fixture was filled with bugs, the walls were paper thin, very little hot water, vertical blinds missing a panel. more
