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!

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!

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!

This is a great place to stay. Well appointed, had everything we needed. Host was very responsive to all of our questions. Loved starting out each morning with coffee on the screened deck and finishing each evening on the deck in the hot tub! Rooms were spacious and linens were nice. Our only downside feedback we would offer, is the kitchen can be quite dark in the evening when cooking. The light doesn’t work above the stove, so your back is to the lighting. Brighter bulbs in kitchen would be better.We loved our stay.Thank you

Great house! So clean and quaint. Attention to detail was wonderful. Incredibly full kitchen, plenty of towels, plates, soap, etc. Very close to the docks. Great screened porch and quiet atmosphere. Fans work great and so does the air con! Hostess was super helpful and kind. We’ll be returning!

Great stay!

We loved our stay! Our girls loved fishing in the pond as well as swimming in the pool and hot tub! The property was so cool and we literally felt like we were away from everything. The kitchen was well stocked! We enjoyed the springs nearby and grilling out our fresh catch from our fishing trip. Would return if we are ever back in the area. Maria was also super helpful and always available if we needed her.

We spent 3 days here and its was amazing. The place is beautiful and you are away from all the noise and craziness of the city. Maria is the caretaker and lives inside but you never see her after checking in. We will definitely come back.
