Nice Home

Property was very nice. Canal was super shallow for our 25ft center console but we made it work. Word is the canal has been approved to be cleaned and dredged. House could use a little TLC but would definitely recommend to anyone with a smaller boat or flats boat. Neighbors are friendly and helpful too!

Very nice!

The home was clean and comfortable. Very spacious. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the screened porch overlooking the canal. Appreciated the convenient location, and the quiet safe neighborhood. We did not utilize the hot tub or the kayaks. The garage was a real plus. It was a peaceful trip!

Manatee Heaven

We had a wonderful stay and this has been our favorite trip by far! We took our bikes to a great fishing hole close to the house, took a short drive to fort island beach to play in the water, rented a boat for the day, kayaked up and down the river, played in the hot tub, and shopped in town. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating! Great stay!

Awesome place to stay!

Everything we could have asked for on this scalloping and fishing adventure with the grandkids. Public boat launch just down the road, easy access from the dock to the gulf, bait shop just up the road. Grocery stores and great food within minutes of the house. We grilled fish and scallops, kids even caught redfish in the canal between trips. Definitely recommend and plan to visit again!

Christmas in Crystal River

This house was the perfect place to call home over our holiday. Spacious, relaxing, clean, plenty to keep the teens busy, loved using the kayaks and seeing manatees and dolphins on the river. We did a little fishing, used the hot tub most mornings and nights and enjoyed bird watching from the screen porch. If we visit the area again I would definitely stay here.

Great first trip to Crystal River

House was very clean and provided everything we needed for a great trip. It was in an excellent location for us to access the river by boat, centralized between the gulf and springs. The location allowed us to have a day of fishing, a day for scalloping and a day to relax and enjoy the springs! Lots of great memories were made. Looking forward to another trip one day!
