“Dirty Doublewide Trailer”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2006
11
people found this review helpful

I stayed at this "resort" over Labor Day weekend with my boyfriend. The location was great since it was near things to do while still very quiet. The view from the balcony was very nice since it overlooked the water. The management provided a handful of brochures for local things to do as well as some restaurants in the area. There were some downsides though:

When I made the reservation I pictured a condo-style room that was part of a larger complex with a front desk. This was not the case. The "resort" is 3 doublewide trailers on pylons because of their proximity to the waterfront. It wasn't exactly a "resort" according to my definition.

According to management there should be a kind of housekeeping service that collects dirty towels and cleans the place. It was obvious the room had Not been cleaned prior to our arrival. The room was orderly, but not clean.

The other problem was the bed. Our room had two double beds which is awkward for two people used to sleeping in a queen...and it was like sleeping on a cement slab. The bed was extremely hard and we looked in the closet for something to pad it with. The blankets in the closet smelled musty and funky and so we just dealt with the hard mattress for two nights. We paid for three nights but couldn't bring ourselves to sleep on that bed for one more night!

If you have back problems this is not the place for you. If you are not familiar with the area I suggest finding a guidebook or making a list of things to do before arriving since the property has no "front desk" or "office" nearby.

All things considered I would not stay there again. There are plenty of other places nearby.

“Awesome Time at The Last Resort!”

What a special place this is! It is right on the River and just far enough away from all the busy busy other resorts like McRae's that it makes you feel so at home. You don't have to pay extra for dockage or ramp use. We had a GREAT time! The rooms aren't even rooms, they are apartments - HUGE! Bedroom with 2 beds, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and deck area! The kitchen has everything you need. The grounds are very well maintained. There are only 6 apartments available so it is nice and quiet. Went scalloping and had a blast! They even have grills and charcoal you can use. I can't wait to go back and would recommend this place to everyone! LOVED The Last Resort!!!!! :)

“Don't miss The Last Resort!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2004

We loved this place. If you stay in Homosassa, you need to stay here. Betty and Jerry, who own and manage The Last Resort, live right on the premises and are just wonderful. They treat you as a family guest and will do whatever they can to make your stay perfect. The resort consists of 3 buildings on stilts that have 2 apartments each. The apartments are modular buildings and aren't luxurious, but they're clean and have everything you need. The kitchen is very well-equipped (even wine glasses). All the apartments look out on the Homosassa River. There's a resident heron, Stretch, who'll come right up on your balcony and even into your living room if you look like you'll give him a snack. The view is gorgeous, the grounds are green and lush (Jerry works constantly to keep them that way, I think). We rented a pontoon boat from them and went up the river to right outside the state park and came upon 5 manatees! This absolutely made the trip. We had our snorkel gear and jumped right in with these wonderful creatures. They accepted us as one of them. Apparently this sighting is very rare in May. There's a large dock with umbrellaed tables for happy hour. And you have to go to the MargeritaGrill a mile or so down the road. Very local, very cheap drinks, and wonderful local seafood. I'd recommend overwhelmingly that you stay at the Last Resort. But hurry. Betty and Jerry have the place up for sale so they can go back north after 24 years of living here (?) and they're a large part of what makes this place so great.

“Wonderful experience!”

Our stay was wonderful. The cottages are well equipped and the views are fantastic! They all overlook the Homosassa river. We watched dolphins and manatees go by during our stay. They also rent pontoon boats (reasonable) right there, so you can cruise the river or go 7 miles out to the Gulf of Mexico. The couple running it make you feel like family. Two thumbs up!
