We spent a weekend here for a family fishing trip and were very pleasantly surprised by how much this place exceeded our expectations. The home was much larger than we anticipated, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax and be comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, making meals easy and enjoyable, and everything throughout the house was absolutely immaculate.The outdoor dock was a highlight—perfect for morning coffee, fishing, and watching the water. We loved seeing people diving nearby to view manatees, and each evening we were treated to mullet jumping at sunset. It was peaceful, beautiful, and exactly the kind of stay we hoped for.We would absolutely return and highly recommend this VRBO to anyone visiting Crystal River. A wonderful find!

Great stay!

The house was amazing, very clean with updated renovations making it a very comfortable stay. Owner was very friendly and helpful. The location is spectacular with beautiful sunrise every morning. Even had a manatee greet me first thing while drinking my coffee watching the sunrise on dock. Will definitely rent again for our next family vacation.

Nice house, beautiful location!

The house was as advertised. The location on the bay was beautiful. Communication with the owner was great and the check-in process was very simple. The ONLY thing keeping me from giving 5 stars was AC. It simply could not keep up with August heat. The temp inside was usually around 80f during the day and wven uncomfortable at night. I do wish that had been communicated earlier/better. However, we still enjoyed our time in Crystal River.

Sensational accommodations

Location was key when selecting a place to vacation. This house had so much more than we expected and the view from the house was beautiful! We used the kayaks and saw so many dolphins and manatees. We could have just stayed for a month. Incredibly pleased with every aspect of this experience! There was so much attention to detail with the quality of sheets and towels to supplies for cleaning and even a variety of soaps, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, condiments for sandwiches and coffees and teas, sugar and creamers included. You literally could bring a bag of clothes and a small cooler and be set for the weekend! The front door was a little challenging to operate but we went in and out of the carport entrance so it wasn’t a problem. Highly recommend this house!
