About Shirrell
Welcome to Coastal Beacon—Your Home by the Water
Hi, I’m Shirrell—owner of Coastal Beacon and a lifelong lover of everything fishing, boating, and salt air. What started as a personal retreat turned into a passion project: creating a vacation home where families, friends, and fellow water lovers could relax, recharge, and explore Florida’s natural beauty without breaking the bank.
Coastal Beacon is more than a place to stay—it’s an experience designed around connection and comfort. Whether you’re paddling through manatee-filled springs, casting a line at sunrise, or just soaking up the quiet under the palms, this home is meant to bring you closer to the water and each other.
I have thoughtfully stocked the house with extras to make your trip easy and affordable—kayaks with safety gear, beach blankets, bikes for all ages, and even a portable workstation if you need to sneak in a little work between adventures. With room for the whole crew and a location close to both Homosassa and Crystal River, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable and cost-effective Florida escape.

Tight lines and safe travels,
Shirrell
