Yankeetown Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Yankeetown
is located on the wide Withlacoochee River on the north Gulf Coast near the Crystal River and Homosassa. This area is known as the Florida’s “Nature Coast,” and has some of the best fishing in the country. You can charter a boat with one of the best guides in Florida, swim with the Manatees, or go canoeing, kayaking or diving. Canoe rentals and boat tours are available, making it easy to explore the area. A stroll through Yankeetown reveals elegant homes tucked away along the river. The town is being discovered more and more by nature lovers and artists who want to escape the noise and confusion of city life. Yankeetown is home to the Izaak Walton Lodge, built in 1924. This historic business serves delicious fish and seafood caught from the river and Gulf waters. Another fun point of interest is Punkin Island on Country Road 40, where the 1961 Elvis Presley movie, “Follow That Dream,” was filmed. Yankeetown is a perfect place to spend quality time on Florida’s beautiful “Nature Coast.”

Yankeetown 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.
