*The River Bungalow* - a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home on a deep water canal. A home with a large, heated, screened saltwater pool. Very comfortable house with a well stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor space, both inside and outside of the screen enclosure, to enjoy. Fun fishing right from the dock!

Home is well appointed. The kitchen is stocked for your visit with plenty to use.

The primary bedroom has a comfortable king bed, closet space for storage, separate bathroom with a shower, and a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows. This room has a door that leads to the backyard and pool area.

The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet, and a smart TV for streaming.

The second bathroom has a large vanity, tub/shower combo, and a toilet. It is located across from the second bedroom.

The third bedroom has a bunk - a full bed over a queen bed. A smart TV is also in this room. This room has a private door that leads to the screened-in pool area.

The living room has a large sectional couch, a recliner, and a large smart TV for streaming your favorite shows/movies. There is one small step down to the living room area. The living room has a view to the pool area with a sliding glass door that leads out to the screen enclosure area.

The large screen enclosed pool area is the best spot to relax. There is a roof the length of the first section, meaning even when it is raining or the sun is intense you can enjoy this area. This covered area has a dining table to enjoy outdoor meals at, and a set of chairs to enjoy around some lounging at. These areas provide spots to relax while watching the kids in the pool, talking with friends, or grilling your catch from the day.

Kayaks are available for use, as well as bicycles in the garage. If you love fishing, our location will suit your needs. The home is located on a deeper canal with Gulf access. A dock provides access to the water. You are welcome to bring your boat, there is a public boat launch for a small fee just one mile away. Local businesses also offer boats for rent. Great fishing is not far away, manatee viewing, and scalloping when it is in season!

There is a heater on the pool for a small extra charge. It will keep the pool a nice enjoyable temperature. We do accept pets to stay with you at The River Bungalow - up to two well behaved, house-trained pets are allowed for a pet fee. When booking, be sure to indicate if you will be bringing your pet.

Location: Crystal River is a year round destination with great fishing. Manatees can be viewed in the winter and scalloping is available in the summer. Fabulous fishing just a short boat ride away to the Gulf. The home is close to Crystal River Archaeological State Park. There are also great golf courses nearby.

    Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful home! The house has everything you need! It is clean, kitchen has all appliances you need! The pool/pool area is always an added bonus for relaxing in the afternoons after a long day of fishing. I’ve used the gas fire pit both stays. Thank you for all the little extras that support bringing your dog. As someone who brings their boat- deep canal, the floating dock, power and water availability are all great! Have stayed here 2 years in a row for my spring break. Hoping to come back next year!

    This is the perfect balance of relaxing home/pool space for the kids (7&10 year old girls) combined with all the activities you could want for those of us that prefer to be on the move. Crystal Springs is an outdoor paradise with so much to see and do. This home was the very best base for us to accomplish everything we wanted to do. Then we could come home and play in the pool until we were ready to drop into very comfy beds!! The owner was awesome when I had a couple questions and answered them right away. We cannot imagine a better area to visit. We can’t wait to come back again!

    We arrived about 6 weeks after Helene hit. Most places had at least 3' of water in them. Many nearby homes were still being remodeled. This home was spotless. Likely the cleanest rental I've ever used. Everything was as according to the listing. Excellent location. Great communication with host.

    I can't describe how much we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in Crystal River! It was easily the best holiday home we ever stayed in. The house is incredibly well equipped and there was truly nothing more we could have wished for. Everything was beautifully furnished, clean, the beds and the couch were so comfy. Communication with the owner was very good. The heated pool was the best, especially because the outside temperatures weren't that hot in winter and we could enjoy the pool nevertheless (which we did a lot!). We loved the kayaks and explored the area with them. You can watch turtles from your own dock. One of our kids once insisted they saw a manatee, which is possible in theory, but I can't confirm it 100% ;) There's a lot to do in the area - definitely visit Three Sister Springs - it was crowded with manatees when we were there! And go on a tour to swim with the manatees too. It's such an amazing experience. When we come back to Crystal River, we'll definitely come back to your amazing house! Our last stay was magical but way too short!

    This was a great place to stay for our family of 4. We were super pleased with the home. It was comfy, with soft linens, blankets and towels - but it was the other little kid friendly details that made it such a wonderful place to stay for our family. From tons of pool towels, kayaks, crab trap and bikes outside to games and puzzles, and finally Disney+ access inside - it was truly kid friendly and made for an enjoyable stay. Home was clean and a great overall experience for us. We never needed to call the owner - everything was perfect!

    We had a great time at this lovely waterfront home. It was perfect for our annual scalloping trip. The floating dock with bumpers is ideal for parking a boat, the canal is deep and there is easy access to the Gulf. We loved the screened in patio area with ample seating options, the firepit and a huge pool. The home is very clean, the kitchen is incredibly well-stocked, the beds are comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and have done a wonderful job of providing all the little things that make you feel at home. Having so many kayaks and bikes available is a huge plus - there is a lot to explore nearby. We've stayed in several vacation homes in the area, and this is our favorite. We hope to visit again next year!
