The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region

The property is located in west central Florida, 14 miles from the gulf of Mexico on Florida's nature coast.
There are plenty of activities available in the area.

The weather is good all year round and this makes for the perfect destination.

The Homosassa area

Visitors can enjoy miles of unspoilt coastline and sparkling lakes. The area offers golf, fishing, boating, canoeing, and diving and snorkelling in nearby spring fed waters.

You can also see and learn about native wildlife at the Homosassa state wildlife park, where manatees can be seen year round in the under water observatory.

The park has a boardwalk through natural wildlife habitats, providing great views of all the animals. There are numerous restaurants and quaint shopping areas including heritage village in crystal river.

A direct flight from Gatwick, London to Tampa, Florida.

When you arrive at Sanford or Tampa I can arrange for a Citrus Airport Shuttle to bring you right to the door and return you to the airport at the end of your holiday. The usual charge is $75 each way to and from Tampa Airport and $100 each way from Sanford.

Alternatively you can hire a car at either Tampa or Sanford airport from Hertz or arrange for a fly drive at the time of booking your flight and I will give you directions.

Another option is to take the shuttle from the airport and after you have had a good night's sleep I will drive you to a car hire company and at the end of your holiday I will follow you to the car hire company to return the car and drive back to the house where the shuttle will take you back to the airport.

“A Floridian height of luxury and relaxation.” Hosted by such a lovely couple, this villa has 'welcome' appeal. Everything we could possibly need was on hand, even delicious sandwiches and a cup of English tea in a teapot! Nothing is too much trouble to Valerie and Jim; they have a wealth of local knowledge and an easy conversation. Wildlife is right outside the door as well as the surrounding area. We cycled, using our own folding bikes carried in the back of the car, parts of the two local cycle trails, taking in pretty, non-touristy small towns such as Floral City and seeing the real Florida with its wealth of wildlife (including Bald Eagles) and all in glorious sunshine. When exhaustion set in it was only a short drive to the villa to relax in the comfort of a squishy sofa. For those who like a beach on their holidays; Fort Island Trail ends at a pretty, sandy beach and hosts an impressive flock of Black Skimmers. To top it all this villa is very good value for your money.

“Brilliant & Relaxing Home from Home” 10 days of bliss in peaceful Homosassa. Our friendly hosts were wonderful supplying food and wine on arrival, with other essentials in the fridge. The villa was great, very private backing on to woods with a massive comfortable bed and well equipped all round. The local area has plenty of shops and places for food, with a shopping Mall nearby with some of the cheapest clothes in Florida.. There is a wildlife park with alligators, bears, bobcats just up the road. The cinema is based in the shopping mall starting at 1pm till about 10pm. This is a quieter face of Florida away from the big parks but only an hour from the airport. Can't praise our hosts highly enough it was a great pleasure, and thank you both once again.

“Idyllic peaceful Florida sunshine, can't wait to go back” We're regular visitors to Florida but don't want to spend our time in theme parks, we've stayed in Naples and Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast as well as Melbourne on the Space Coast.. We've never rented a villa before and for spring 2011 we wanted a quiet relaxing break from work and home in the UK. We couldn't have made a better choice, the villa itself was beautiful: more than enough room for four people, fully equipped with good quality appliances, HD cable TV, broadband internet, everything you would want in your own home. The location is idyllic, a deed controlled community set in natural Florida woodlands and a few minutes drive from Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park. There are shops and restaurants within a few minutes drive too and it's under an hour to get to Tampa, we visited Big Cat Rescue, and a little over an hour to get to Clearwater Beach where we spent a day on the beach. Homosassa itself is just a regular Florida town, not overtly touristy and we really enjoyed the experience of "just living" in Florida for a couple of weeks. Jim and Valerie were wonderful hosts, there was lunch and a bottle of wine in the Fridge waiting for us when we arrived and they live nearby should you need them for anything. I really can't recommend this villa highly enough, I've enthused about it and the location to friends and colleagues and genuinely have recommended it to others, we can't wait to go back. Response: YOUR REVIEWS ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, THANK YOU. JAMES AND VALERIE

“This had to be one of the most amazing stays ever, the hosts were ever so gracious and the Villa was” If you are looking to be treated like royalty and are needing to unwind this is the place for you. The Kennedy's are amazing hosts and will make you feel like you are at home. 5 stars all the way! Response: We do our best to make our guests comfortable and give them all the comforts of home so we have furnished the Villa with high quality furniture and a brand new sony 42" tv with a blueray DVD player and complimentry wi-fi and a wallmounted 32"Tv in the Master Suite which has a Californian King Size air bed.The kitchen is well equipped for 4 persons and all appliances have been updated.Our guests like the location of our Villa as they can visit the theme parks in Orlando and Tampa then return to the Villa to relax by the pool in the prestigious developement of Sugarmill Woods. We also provide a snack for them on arrival and some breakfast which our guests seem to like.Your comments are very much appreciated,Thank you very much. James and Valerie
