This was definitely one of our favorite vacations! Crystal River is still very much the “old Florida” that I remember from my childhood. The house was perfect! Very clean and had everything we needed. The open great room and kitchen were very spacious, and the Florida room provides gorgeous views of the canal. There is actually a fair amount of privacy on the canal. Most of the other houses we saw had no privacy at all. We saw a manatee swimming through within just a couple of hours after arriving. The kayaks were great for exploring through the canal. At night, the water really comes alive with jumping fish! The dark night skies were perfect for stargazing. Really just a magical place!
Good location and we enjoyed our stay with great friends!
Nice home on a large lot. It is well-appointed and stocked with necessities. The host was easy to communicate with. Loved looking out the back windows at kayakers and boaters in the canal. Close to lots of activities and a quick drive to the beach.
Great location! Close to restaurants, great location in kings bay.
Our family spent a few days here and it was great. Close to a lot of things. Great quiet spot with lots of shade. Had just a great time.
The home and beautiful property were just what we were looking for. Couldn't have ask for a better place. Was perfect!
The house and location was perfect!! We will definitely be back. I would recommend this property to anyone!
We loved this property and all it had to offer. Very nice inside and gorgeous outside. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddleboard, fishing in the canal, watching the manatees and fish swim by in the canal, and the pool. We actually saw a mama and baby manatee on the very first day in the home! You can see them swim by from inside the house and run out and see them up close...it's pretty amazing. My family and I would absolutely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time here. We saw so many manatees right behind the home in the canal. The owners were super communicative and the home was stocked well. Would definitely recommend for a wonder Crystal River stay.
My husband and I stayed for 3 weeks. We felt comfortable there from the moment we walked in. The house was clean. The furniture and beds were comfortable. With the sunroom, screened porch, and lanai there was plenty of room for us to spread out and relax. We enjoyed kayaking and seeing the manatees (we even saw a couple of dolphin!) the only downside wa that we couldn’t stay longer.
We really enjoyed our first visit to Crystal River to see the manatees. The home was delightful, very comfortable and close to everything. We found everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. We would love to stay again!
Very clean and wonderful location!
Open floor plan with great pool. Right on the water. Saw a manatee right from the yard!
The property was exactly as listed. Beautiful setting with great accommodations. We rented a boat through Cool Waters kayaks and they delivered, picked up, a pontoon boat with kayaks. Love the location of the house and would definitely go back!
Excellent property, great location and very clean!
A beautiful house with a pool on a canal where we saw a couple of manatees. Kayaks were nice to have for exploring. The owner and management were very responsive. Lots to do in the area, many springs and lots of great places to eat.
We had a great time! This property is close to the springs and has all the amenities we needed during our stay. Great location for a short trip to the Gulf for fishing or Scalloping. The property is easily accessible by boat and the kids loved swimming in the pool after a long day of Scalloping. I would definitely stay here again.
We had so much fun and relaxing. Manatees were so amazing swimming past the property. We had a blast kayaking around the area and enjoying the scenery! The house was super cute. Everything was perfect!
We enjoyed every minute of our vacation. We made use of the kayaks and visited Three Sister Springs twice...my arms are still sore. Beautiful home. Property owners gave us excellent restaurant suggestions. Saw lots of manatees.
My friends and I took a mom’s weekend away to Crystal River. We rented this house because there were enough kayaks and paddle boards for us to use and there was access to the water. We had a wonderful day kayaking to Three Sisters Springs. We also took the short drive to town for dinner while we were there. We loved our stay! Thank you so much for a relaxing weekend away :)
We had a great time for my birthday. There was plenty of places for the boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the lovely neighborhood. Also, the dog had a lot of fun in the fenced in yard. We were lucky enough to see manatees every day.
