Ahead By A Century: Your Perfect Homosassa Getaway Awaits!

Family-friendly home in a gated community with all the bells and whistles. Boat ramp, dock, trailer parking, commercial ice machine, 6-passenger golf cart, kayak, EV charger, large gas grill, and more! You won't want to leave the house, but if you do, we're only a few minutes from Homosassa's must-see attractions, from our beloved manatees in the springs to local favorites like The Freezer, Crumps, and Florida Cracker.

When you drive through the oversized white gates to our community, you'll be just a short minute from launching your boat into the water and docking it behind our house. Ahead By A Century is located on one of the best deep water canals, with quick access to the Homosassa River and only 5 minutes away from some of the area's top destinations or a mere 30 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.

Kayaking, fishing, and wildlife watching are just some of the many outdoor activities available. Watch the mermaids perform at Weeki Wachee or explore the beautiful Crystal River and Homosassa Springhead, home to manatees. For scuba enthusiasts, there's also great scuba diving in the area, with amazing grouper, snapper, cobia, hogfish, and more waiting to be discovered.

If you're looking for a break from the outdoors, you'll find plenty of delicious dining options nearby. Uber Eats, and Door Dash deliver to the area, and some of the best restaurants are just around the corner. Across the street from our favorite restaurant, Nautitime, is just a 10-minute walk from our door. Enjoy dishes like their famous peel-and-eat shrimp or wings. You'll also find world-famous Monkey Island and other popular spots like MacRaes's, The Freezer, and Florida Cracker Kitchen just 1.5 miles away.

On-site trailer parking is available, and with a two-car garage and long driveway, parking won't be a problem.

Great house with easy access to the river.

Check in was a breeze with great communication from the owner. Wonderful house with boat slip on a canal providing direct access to the Homosassa River and the Gulf of America. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again.

Lovely home loaded with amenities

We absolutely loved the three outdoor spaces to drink coffee, grill and chill! The home is so well and thoughtfully stocked that we felt welcomed and pampered. The home's location and neighborhood are excellent. We enjoyed exploring the area and would gladly return to the property if the opportunity arises.

Wonderful Trip

This was our first trip to the Crystal Springs area and it was wonderful. We are already planning to come back with our daughter. The house was beautiful and as described. We enjoyed sitting out by the water and enjoying the sun. The bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious. Crumps Landing was amazing and only a short drive- we visited multiple times. No complaints at all and we would definitely re-book.

Great River home

We had a great time at the property. So many amenities that we did not have enough time to enjoy them all. There was plenty of room for my family. Other than food, pretty much anything you could need was there. We really enjoyed being able to use the golf cart to access the restaurants. Thank you again. We hope to be back again some day.

This rental was the best stocked I’ve ever stayed at! Coffee, laundry, paper products, kitchen bags…. Awesome! We had a glitch with the ice maker but had a prompt response on how to deal with it. The beds were comfortable. The home was clean and the kitchen had everything you could ask for. The golf cart was great for local travel. The boat launch was close. Thank you Catherine.

Perfect location for scalloping

We stayed here for the start of scallop season. We have a 28' boat and I will say that's likely the max size you want to bring; we were sticking out the back of the slip but not so much other boats couldn't navigate around. That and the neighborhood / ramp would make it hard if your boat was larger. The house was well equipped, spacious, clean, with several modern amenities (electric curtains, steam shower, ice machine). Overall 10/10 would rebook (and probably will!)
