Start your day with coffee on the screened lanai, overlooking peaceful canal views as your kids or pup play freely in the fenced yard. From your private dock, hop into one of the single or tandem included kayaks and paddle through scenic waterways to explore nearby springs like Three Sisters and Hunter Springs (about 1 hr paddle away)—where manatees often greet you in the cooler months.

Or, bring your own boat and head out to the Gulf in about 20 minutes for fishing, island-hopping, or scalloping during the summer season.

Inside, unwind in comfort with a fully stocked kitchen, cozy lounge seating, and space to relax or reconnect. When you’re ready to venture out, historic downtown Crystal River is just 2 miles away with local seafood, shops, and manatee tours year-round.

Plan your visit around:
- Manatee Season (Nov–Mar): Peak time for unforgettable wildlife encounters
- Scallop Season (July–Early Sept): Snorkel and gather fresh scallops from local seagrass beds
- Spring/Summer: Paddle, fish, or swim in the clear spring-fed waters
- Fall: Mild weather, fewer crowds, and excellent fishing

Whether you’re seeking adventure, family memories, or a peaceful nature retreat, this home is your launchpad for the best of Crystal River.

    Wonderful home! Room enough for 9 adults and a dog. Anything you might need is provided. Home was clean and great for cooking and relaxing. Loved having the kayaks and the fire pit. Jennifer was wonderful and great to communicate with. If you ever visit Crystal River you must stay here!

    We stayed for the weekend to see the manatees. The canal and dock were so convenient for our boat, especially for the proximity to the launch. The house was very comfortable and accommodating for our family and our fiends. Being dog friendly was a huge plus!

    Nice location for a boat, but it's a bit of a ride out to the river from the house dock. Close and convenient to CRW. Nice and convenient to the shops and restaurants in Crystal River. Good parking for a trailer. Great yard for a dog with full fencing.

    Wonderful experience all around. The dock was perfect for my 20’ boat. Extra parking for my boat trailer was perfect.

    We loved the area, and unit was super clean and roomy with everything we needed including kyaks, life jackets, and paddles for them. we had a fenced yard for our sm. dogs. We recommend that you rent a pontoon if you want to really experience the whole area. We rented one for 350 for all day at the State Park called Crystal River, I think. It was like really close to this house, like out the road to main road, left then Left again to the park . No pets on the pontoon though fyi. We found the channel this house is on from there easily and stopped in for lunch at this house. Have Fun, the owner is also great to work with. It has a large garage for your car or stuff too. I would not try to kyak to 3 sisters , a bit too far, but loved, to kyak for an hour or 2 all over the channels. they all go out to Crystal River but we didnt want to go that far.

    Property is perfectly located close to the dive shops in Crystal River. The home was clean, cozy and has a beautiful backyard on a canal with screened in porch. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Highly recommend.

    This place has everything you need if you want to take your own boat scalloping. It has a dock and boat launch nearby, and is easy to get to where you want to be. It was clean, and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.

    We are leaving this lovely home this morning, and taking in our last moments here on the lovely lanai. The backyard is so lovely and serene and the trees and the water that runs behind the house is picturesque. We spent two days exploring the bay and springs and there many restaurant options very close by. This turned out to be the perfect location for our needs. The owner of the house, Jenn, could not have been more responsive to any questions and needs. We would recommend this home to friends and family.
