Our experience at the house was truly unforgettable! There was something for the entire family to enjoy, making it the perfect getaway for all ages.Whether we wanted to play pickleball, take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, watch a movie in the theater room, challenge each other to ping pong, play board games, or go kayaking, there was always something fun to do. Even on the several rainy days during our stay, the home provided plenty of entertainment and cozy spaces to relax together.The location is also fantastic—convenient to anything you might need, from groceries to local attractions.You will not find a better host than Catherine! She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable family vacation.Sharon C.

We had two families with cousins (10 people) come together for a couple of days of scalloping, and this property was excellent. Only 7 minutes from the marina where we rented our boat, we were able to maximize our time on the water and at the house. The home comes with everything you could think of. After a day out on the water, the kids especially loved cooling off in the pool, playing pickleball, and watching a movie in the theater before bed. The evening views were gorgeous, and the sun rises right over the back porch. Spacious with plenty of sleeping areas and showers. This is a no-brainer if you're looking for a getaway or a family vacation/staycation. The host was gracious, extremely helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this property, and we plan to stay here again if/when we return for more scallops!

Scalloping
The house was great for our family and our family friends for our annual scalloping trip! Our guide was able to pick us up from the dock and between the movie theater, pool, and pickleball courts, there was things for the kids to do. Catherine was very nice and helpful!

A great place with a ton of amenities
Stayed at this home with several friends for an (old) guys' weekend, and we had a great time. The home theater is a really cool feature, and we got a ton of use out it as well as the pickleball court and ping pong table - and the pool, of course. Communication with Cathryn was easy and prompt, and she really went the extra mile to make sure we had what we needed for our stay.It's a huge house with a big kitchen, and really has everything you could possibly need. Really, really great all around.Two very small downsides are that there are only three bedrooms and three baths, which is great, but given the massive size of the house, it would be have been awesome to have one more of each of those for a larger party. Also, the house sits just across the street from water access, so the kayaking options are not as great as other homes I've stayed at in the area.Still, all in all, it's a great place which was kept immaculately. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic Getaway!
We really enjoyed this home! It was comfortable, spaced out nicely, and so clean! The kitchen was spacious and fully decked out. The hot tub was used every night and the instructions for the high-tech tablet were very user friendly. Plus Cathrine was very quick to respond to our questions. My oldest boy loved the basketball court out back, and the guys used the dock out front every day to fish. The movie theater was a huge hit, and fun to watch the Final Four games with popcorn from the fancy popping machine! Crystal River has a very relaxed vibe, and we enjoyed eating by the river at both Crackers and Tipsy Tarpon which are very close to the house. Great hiking and boating in this area. We highly recommend this home to everyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend! Thanks, Cathrine.

Relaxing oasis with plenty of space for all
We came with our three grown children & partners plus an infant. We had plenty of space to gather together as well as spread out to do our own things. The kitchen was well stocked and large so we could have many folks cooking at once and the grill outside is massive! Perfect for grilling the fish we caught. The cinema room was awesome especially since we were here during a rare Florida cold snap! Still enjoyed the hot tub, basketball hoop and the neighborhood, so private and lovely. Cathrine our host was extremely responsive and quite helpful to assist with any issues and recommendations for how to enjoy the property. Thank you and we will be back again sometime (hopefully soon!)

This house allowed my blended family of 4 kids, to each have a friend accompany them for the weekend. We had 8 kids, ranging from 9-17 years old, and two adults under one roof and we never felt cramped. We had so much fun.

Awesome place to gather with family!
This home exceeded expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. We came together as a family from different spots. Plenty of room for our 8 and new infant. Put the boat at the dock for scalloping during the weekend. When not on the water, had a great time at the large pool, epic pin-pong, basketball, college football in the movie room and kayaking. So much to do. No worries here regardless of age of all the guests. Great communication with owner. She made sure we had everything we needed and was easy to work with. Highly recommend this spot.
