Homosassa Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Homosassa is a small town of approximately 2,300 that lies along the central Gulf coast of Florida, just west of Homosassa Springs. It’s near the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, which is a showcase for Florida’s wildlife and gives visitors a chance to observe native animals, plants and birds in their natural setting. Inside this 180-acre park, visitors will see species like otters, fox, bear, white-tailed deer and cougars. One of the main attractions at the park is the “Spring of 10,000 Fish,” a clear, natural spring where the fish can easily been seen through a floating glass observatory known as “The Fish Bowl.” The Wildlife Park also serves as a rehabilitation center and refuge for endangered West Indian Manatees that have been orphaned or injured in the wild. Informative educational programs are offered daily at the park. In addition, a number of recreational activities are available in the Homosassa area, including fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking, hiking, biking, golf and tennis. Nearby Withlacoochee State Trail offers 42 miles of paved trails for hiking, biking or inline skating. Homosassa, located along Florida’s “Nature Coast,” is an eco-tourism paradise with a tranquil atmosphere that will leave you refreshed and relaxed.

Homosassa Weather & Climate

The Central West Coast just northwest of Tampa Bay, enjoys a semi tropical climate with warm Gulf breezes and plenty of sunshine - 361 days of sun per year. Although thunderstorms are frequent in summertime, they are short in duration and the sun quickly reappears behind the clouds. However, hot temperatures, along with the rain and the Gulf of Mexico help contribute to high humidity levels during this time, as well. June through September receives the most rain, with the rest of the year being pretty dry by comparison. Many believe the most pleasant weather is found during the winter months between November and March when the humidity becomes more bearable and winds from the Bay and Gulf help moderate the temperatures.
