The home is close to everything. Halfway between Homosassa and Crystal River, just off of US19/98

The master bedroom has a king bed and an ensuite bathroom
The other bathroom is for the rest of the house
There are two other bedrooms. One with a queen-size bed and the other with a 2 twin trundle bed that can be used as another king if desired and moved out of the way when space is needed.
The highlight of the space is the incredible backyard that has been turned into a Tiki courtyard. There is a large grill and a griddle, fridge, fireplace, firepit, numerous seating and dining areas - and even an outdoor TV. It is ideal for private entertaining.

Once your booking is complete, please be aware that we require additional steps to complete your reservation of this property. You will receive a link to our Rental Agreement. Once completed, you will receive a link to our Guest Portal where you will find access to additional information and will be asked to reserve certain free amenities and have the opportunity to purchase "Add ons". A short time before arrival we will also request and require a payment source to reserve a Security Deposit for your stay.

The House Rules are also available for you on the Guest Portal. The House Rules are an easy-to-read addendum to the rental agreement that outlines the information that is applicable to all guests. We will also send you a copy and ask that you download and share this document with all other guests.

We provide additional services offline. We call these Add Ons.

"Add ons" include both certain free amenities and items available for a fee. All can be easily arranged through our Guest Portal. This is the site that you access immediately after you sign our Rental Agreement. We will send you a link. You will be able to: 1) request optional free amenities like setting up a port-a-crib, etc. and 2) select and pay for things like: a late checkout, a supply of breakfast groceries waiting for you in the fridge in case you arrive too late to go to the store, a cleaning by our housekeeper during your stay, etc. If you have questions or can't find these on the guest portal, reach out and ask about any of these items of interest. Our guest portal is a separate system, so purchases will require separate payment (credit card) arrangement.

We have purchased Damage Protection Coverage on your behalf. This policy covers the first $1500 worth of accidental damage. It excludes damage by unregistered pets, and linens. Please let us know right away if anything happens. You would remain responsible for anything beyond this coverage. Please note, while booking you may be offered a 'trip interruption' policy. It's not a damage policy, but may be a good purchase if you are worried about events that might lead to cancellation. We especitally recommend it to all of our long-term guests because of the alternate cancellation policy for long-term stays.

For long-term stays during the months of January - April we have a specific cancellation policy. The first 30 days is the deposit. It is due at booking and is non-refundable. The remaining dates are refundable until 60 days before check-in. To reiterate, we recommend that anyone considering a long-term stay purchase a trip interruption insurance policy. Ask and we can refer you.

We have a space that is great for entertaining, but must observe a balance. Because of issues with parties and disruptive events, many guests and even hosts have been removed from certain booking platforms. We're in agreement with that. If you want to invite a larger group, or plan a party or event that would be disruptive to the neighborhood - we're sorry, please look elsewhere. We aren't interested in alienating our neighbors or having our listing suspended for you.

There are security cameras on the front door and aimed at access points to the property. They are for your protection and ours. None are installed indoors or aimed at inside areas. The backyard cameras cover entrances to the courtyard and walls. We had to install the cameras, not for burglars but because we've had guest counts that exceeded what was reserved. This is not nice. Please be honest. We price based on how many are staying in the home. And we make sure it is a good value for either a retired couple of snowbirds or a big family on an adventure-filled vacation. And, even if you leave our home as clean as when you arrive, as required, the size of the group still makes a big difference in how much time and work our housekeeper has to do with laundry, etc

And then there are pets. Please don't try to sneak any in without including them in the booking. We need to make sure they are included in your damage insurance. All pets must be crated if left alone in the house. And sorry, no cats period. Too many people are allergic.
