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

Inverness is the county seat of Citrus County in the north Gulf Coast region of Florida, and is home to the Citrus County Fair. Located north of Tampa along Highway 41 near the Withlacoochee River and Tsala Apopka Lake, Inverness has all the charm of the “old south,” with a relaxed, nature-loving lifestyle. Towering cypress and moss-covered oak trees, old homes with large, wooden front porches and friendly residents all hold a special attraction for those looking for an alternative to the crowds and noise of other Florida cities. Some say this area of springs, rivers, lakes, ancient historical sites and scenic parks is “Mother Nature’s theme park.” You’ll find plenty of shopping and restaurants along the major highways, but take time to explore a bit off the main roads, and you’ll be rewarded with green glens and natural historic sites. Inverness is a well-known fishing spot, and other pursuits such as boating, fishing charters and nature tours are available. The nearby Withlacoochee State Trail offers 42 miles of paved trails for hiking, biking or inline skating. If you tire of the tranquil, relaxed atmosphere of Inverness, the theme parks of Orlando are approximately an hour away.

Inverness 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.
