Excellent host and accommodations! Made our wedding weekend extra special, by leaving a lovely bouquet of flowers and other wedding wishes. My children loved the dock in the backyard, they spent most of the time fishing their days away. Clean home, quiet neighborhood. We loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at the Banyon House and would come back anytime! We were there visiting family in Homasassa and were very glad to find this cute little property. The interior design was lovely, as were the patio, backyard, and dock areas. It had everything we needed right there. Lots of great local restaurants and park areas nearby. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the attention to detail in regard to the functionality of space and accommodations - including games and kayaks and fishing gear. Lots of great local guide info, so be sure and read the book provided that says READ THIS when you arrive 😉 Great stay...thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay with Jennifer and Susan. The house is only 5 to 10 minutes away from most everything you'd want to do while in Homossassa, while being just far enough away to have a peaceful stay.

Enjoyed our stay here and the host was very helpful and responsive to questions. Great time kayaking off the dock. Love the screened back porch area. Quiet location but near restaurants and scalloping. We had our two small dogs and it was very pet friendly. Highly recommend if you want a relaxing spot on the water with kayaks, games, books - perfect family getaway.

We absolutely loved our time at the Banyon House! Fishing off the dock, dinners on the screened in porch, and the place had everything we needed from board games to bug spray. We had the best weekend Scalloping and catching up with friends. The place is just a mile or so from the Florida Cracker which was perfect. If you stay here, definitely get breakfast at the Cracker and stop by the Ice Cream Barr for a sweet treat.

Had a great stay in Homosassa for a weekend get away! The springs were beautiful, the house is nearby all the main restaurants and boat ramps. Relatively close to the springs. Beautiful area. The house was perfect for what we needed. The canal it is on isn’t as nice as the photos it is towards the end of a canal/Marsh but still able to paddle or kayak from it. Just not clear spring water. Close to another house as well. But still felt private

Me and my little family had such a great weekend stay! The house is so cozy clean and comfortable! It was located in the perfect spot for us to put in our boat a few minutes away at masons creek. Would definitely come again!

What a lovely riverside home! It had everything we needed. Kayaks were so fun! Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, great tv with all channels for the kiddo, cool a/c. I loved the Florida room for relaxing nature time and my son loved the dock for fishing and manatee watching. Susan communicated with us quickly and was helpful to our needs. We loved this spot and hope to book again next year!

We were looking for a private place to stay in between our manatee excursions. This was the perfect home for that. Loved the backyard. It was so peaceful and perfect for sitting by a fire in the evenings. We had a blue heron friend that visited everyday. I’m sure he’d appreciate you stopping by the bait shop on your way in for a few shrimp. 🙂 If we ever find ourselves coming back to Homosassa we’d for sure stay again.

Second year we stayed here, and we love it! The hosts think of all the little things (coffee, creamer, spices, built in shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser in showers, etc.), and this truly make this place feel even more welcoming and homey! It is close to grocery store, restaurants, ice cream places, wildlife park, marina, etc. We have never had a problem with our stay, but if we did, I know the hosts would be quick to respond. They always respond very quickly to any message sent. Great place to stay! We plan on returning!

This was our first Airbnb experience and we had a most relaxing time. The Banyon house was everything that we were wanting. It was in what was called Old Homosassa. It was in a quiet neighborhood yet close to everything. She had a book available which listed all the local restaurants and what they offered and various things to do. She also had an available a few kayaks but we didn’t have the time to take them out. We did a lot of hikes in the area and were amazed by all the manatees at Three Sister Springs in Crystal River which was only 10-15 min away. We had a marvelous time and we definitely will go back again. Thank you to the hostess for this beautiful home.
Katia
1/02/2024
Great stay! Loved the place and the house, pretty and peaceful, we enjoyed the kayaking, the stars, and walking the dog. Also close to many things, good restaurants, springs/parks with manatees, beaches, and even not far to Tampa, so we went to Busch Gardens and Clearwater beach and also had great times. The house has everything needed and is comfortable and complete - had great vacations!

I could go on and on about this place... if you're even thinking about booking this place, DO IT. I was so impressed with everything. The home is extremely clean and homey, the location is private and beautiful, I wish we stayed longer!! I loved the washer and dryer, the back deck, the stocked kitchen, the board games. We will definitely be returning!!

This was an amazing stay! Me and my wife were happy to enjoy our vacation with our pups! Great places to eat, drink and listen to live music within a 5 min drive! We saw a manatee off the back dock and even caught dinner one of the nights. The fish cleaning station on the back dock was very useful. We hope to come back to this airbnb!

Julie

Great little place for a small family or 2 couples. The screened in porch was perfect! The water access is nice. There was a lot to do in Homosassa and the surrounding area. We visited Ozello a couple times. Once for Peck’s lunch on the water and another time for an early eco pontoon boat tour. You MUST visit florida cracker / monkey bar for pizza on the upstairs deck. MUST visit Homosassa Wildlife Park to meet the local hippo, Lu, and the young bear, Max. The kayaks were great—although one seat for the white kayak did it seem to fit. So we could not go as a family of 4, but we too turns. We saw river otter each time we went out.

Jennifer was a great host and provided clear and concise check in and check out instructions. The house looked as described and looked like the pictures. The house is in a great private location, but still close to places to eat and discover. Banyon House was very clean and nicely appointed with any amenities we needed. We would definitely stay at the Banyon House again.
Jerry

Lovely, tasteful decor, kitchen with new utensils, pots and pans, everything to make a relatively complicated meal (which I did). Great outdoor space with picnic table and couch. We did not use the firepit or grill...vegetarian daughter, but they looked nice. Not really possible to get to the main area of Homosassa State Park (where the water is clear) from our canal, unless you made a whole day of it. But a fun, quiet place to paddle around without that many bugs. Lots of birds, did not see any gators or snakes. Very peaceful.
Deb

Our stay was great, much to do, went on walks every morning. Had everything we could use. Looking forward to next year. We did find two palmetto bugs in the small bathroom but they looked like they were dying.
Susan

We talked with both Jennifer snd Susan. Both very helpful and courteous. The house was clean, a safe neighborhood and close to activities. We chose the house because they allowed dogs. Unfortunately we lost our dog last December.My daughter And family came in their RV, and stayed near us.@ Nature Resort Her dogs really enjoyed the great yard and laying in the sun. We spent many hours exploring the water ways with the kayaks. Thank you!

Great little home away from home. Very relaxing. Very clean and neat. Creature comforts were up to par (access to smart tv/apps, coffee, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, etc). Loved being able to use the kayaks!!!! The host was quick to respond, but honestly we didn’t need any assistance. She had prepared us well for our stay. Would definitely go back!!
Donna

This ABNB is spacious and welcoming as you enter the front door. The floor plan is simple, both bedrooms have their own spacious bathrooms. The back porch is screened in overlooking the back yard and fire pit. Great spot to spend an evening with family and friends.The nights were chilly and we used the fireplace which was a warming touch. Tractor Supply had the best price for firewood. While fishing from the dock, a large blue herring flew and landed on a building within 5 ft of us. It was a beautiful site. It then flew down and landed on our dock right in front of us. WowKitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. If you like to see some wildlife, including manatees, I recommend Homosassa State Park. It is close by, reasonably priced, peaceful and an easy walk.The ABNB host were prompt and great to work with.

From start to finish the hosts were SO helpful and accommodating. This was by far the cleanest and accommodating AirBnB we’ve stayed in for scalloping (and maybe the cleanest and most accommodating ever!!) the house was so clean and so well thought out, any time we were thinking we needed something, it was already provided. The location was great and thanks to their guide book, navigating the waterways was effortless. We appreciated all of the homey touches and comfort of this home. We would love to stay here again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house that had everything we needed. There are many fun activities close by to do like swimming with manatees, kayaking the Chaz river and the Homosassa Springs Wildlife state Park. The screened in porch and fire pit was a bonus. We did not try the kayaks but it was nice to have that option.
Andreas
4/18/2022
Overall the experience was really great. The house is obviously newly renovated and in a very good shape and very clean Furthermore it was very good equiped (kitchen stuff, basic set of cooking ingredients as salt, pepper, oil etc. games, fishing rods, kajaks, gas grill, additional blankets and pillows). The location directly at a chanel was very nice. The area is really quite but you are quickly in the village center and the riverfront. There are a lot of fun things to do like air boat tours, the wildlife park or you could do a manatee snorkeling tour
Brian

The Banyon House is a great place to stay, relax, and have fun on your trip to Homossassa! We loved the split bedroom plan with two bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and the screened back porch was just a wonderful place to relax. We s appreciated the “extras” like games, cards, coffee kcups, and several other things. The backyard with chairs and fire pit was great, as well as the dock with kayaks available to use. We would highly recommend this rental!

The Banyon House is a wonderful getaway, calming indoors and out with plenty to do on the property or on the water with the kayaks. It’s also a fairly short drive to nature activities as well as restaurants. Would love to return someday!

We absolutely LOVED this place. kayaked in the early am on the placid water. clean well appointed amazing back porch. everything was brand new and nice. rode the bike around after hiking nearby. Enjoyed grill and fire pit. great local eateries or could get fresh fish caught that day at shelly’s. the manatees are amazing gentle giants. was a major buzz to swim with them. what a gift. place is a reasonably priced gem. simple and perfect
Vickie

Banyan House was great! The furnishings are all brand new. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more! The owners definitely thought of everything a guest would need to enjoy their stay. Right down to having bug spray! There were games, fishing poles, a great fire pit and plenty of space to lounge around. We really loved the location too. It’s tucked away and quiet, but was central to all the things we wanted to do….Crystal River, Weeki Wachee, Ellie Schiller state park, etc. we’d definitely stay here again.
