About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A SLICE OF "OLD FLORIDA" AMONG GRANDFATHER OAKS.

A meandering drive through 5 acres of tropical flora, large oaks draped with Spanish moss, and the calming sound of water falling into a spring-fed pond are some first impressions of this magical place of vanishing “Old Florida”. The home is reminiscent of a French Colonial tropical home, beautifully appointed with rattan and Tommy Bahama furnishings. A salt-water pool and relaxing hot tub is as refreshing as the nature surrounding you. Top off the day by swimming with the gentle Manatees in the Springs of the Crystal River…. Or you may want to spend the day at nearby Gulf beaches or fish in the many waterways. This area is appropriately named “The Nature Coast” for the many encounters with nature it provides. Plenty of flower and fern gardens are on the property as well as citrus in season. Abundant fresh seafood is a mainstay here, either caught by you or in one of many fine restaurants. Relax in the evening sitting on the front porch and listening to the tropical sounds of nature… imagine yourself in the most exotic place in the world. Perfect romantic getaway or solo retreat!
*** NOTE: Our nightly base rate is for four people. Each additional guest is $35 per night per guest.
*** ALSO: The water on the property is a self-contained pond, no ocean access.

This was the perfect place to stay during our time in Crystal River. Excellent communication from the host, and everything we needed (and more) was available on premises. The screened in pool, hot tub and porch was a wonderful place to relax. The location is private yet convenient to restaurants, shops and activities. It was difficult to leave such a beautiful place!

Lovely house on beautiful grounds. The hosts were responsive and helpful; the beds were comfortably; the bathrooms were clean and well-equipped; the hot tub was fabulous; the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. One note: it is VERY dark, and a little tricky to find ( our Door Dash driver got lost), so try to arrive while it’s still daylight.

Fantastic Property and Host

I recently booked this property for a work trip, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Maria was so helpful and welcoming, she even had baked treats for us when we arrived. The property is one of the more unique ones I have stayed at, and was a great home base to come back to every night. We will be staying here if we are back in the area in the future!

A little piece of paradise

Family trip to enjoy fun in the sun, including downtime at the house as well as outings to hike, see manatees, visit beaches and more. Great for up to three couples or a family trip. Clean, spacious place with updated amenities but an “old Florida” feel. We highly recommend it!
