This was my 2nd visit to Hippo House and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Everything was neat, clean and organized. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals and enjoy a comfortable stay. My dog really enjoys the backyard, nice and spacious. Conveniently located between Crystal River and Homosassa, it was easy to get wherever we needed to go.

We stayed at Hippohead in between selling and buying our homes with our furbabies and it was a perfect little place with a fenced in back yard to call home for 3 weeks. Hippohead is close to all the amenities but yet you feel secluded and the home is stocked with everything you need. If you want a place you can vacation or stay with you furry family members than Hippohead Casita is the place
