Hidden Gem of Crystal River

I loved the location right on Crystal River. It was easy to enter the water with a nice deck. We saw so much wildlife from our rental and from the water. It was nice to have a washer and dryer was nice to have. There was only enough hot water to fill the tub a third of the way. The middle laundry room had water on the floor a couple of times??? The house smelt funny like a old persons house. All of our things smelt like the house and I had to rewash when I got home. I think the price was high for what you got.

Very cozy waterfront cottage. Great communication with the owner. Loved watching the manatees from the dock!

Enjoyed mine and my family’s stay here. We were able to check in early which we greatly appreciated. House was very clean and had everything we needed! Having a dock right out back was a plus! We will definitely be back!

Ee had a wonderful time? Everyone lkved the cottage! We wanr to nook it again!

We stayed while visiting family nearby. The location was great. Property was as described. Very easy to get answers and communicate with owners.

It was the perfect; we saw manatees and dolphins right from our dock. It was peacefully tucked away with kayaks, outdoor propane fireplace and grill.

We enjoyed the location and dock of this little house the most. It was cozy, perfect for 4 people. Would stay again in the future.

This place was super clean and host thought of everything you might want for your stay. The bed was comfortable. Host was super responsive for any questions we had. Now the best part… location! Your own Crystal River adventure! Right on the river with lots of birds (even a bald eagle) and manatees, manatees and more manatees. You don’t have to go anywhere during your stay to have an amazing time and make wonderful memories! Will definitely be back!

Nature lovers delight… The selling point is the location: Peaceful area, lovely scenery, manatees swimming by the dock, and kayaks were a real plus. All the basics are provided, good communication w host, nice restaurant recommends (Cedar River Seafood was our favorite). Not a place for divas. A nice place for mom & dad and up to 3 kids, or 2 couples.

Can't rave enough about how much fun we had. Can't wait to come back!

I rented this property solely based in the pictures of manatees from the dock and the reviews of seeing manatees. Yup, manatee lady right here! Our first 5 minutes after pulling up to the property were spent on the dock and we were welcomed by a mama and baby manatee! We saw manatees every day from the dock as well...even getting in the water to swim with one! We also saw a group of about 7 dolphins chasing fish, lots of osprey, pelicans, and heron. The dock was its own aquarium, housing a variety of fish and little sting rays (skates?). What a magical place to get away from it all. The cottage was adorable and cozy!
