Very beautiful property. We especially loved all the outdoor spaces and the kitchen. The canal was quiet. This section of the river is a no wake zone and took us about 10-15 mins to idle to the springs. The back yard was my favorite place to enjoy a morning coffee. The kitchen was very spacious including an oversize island professional size fridge. Having private bathrooms was a big bonus. The decor was very nice and not over the top. Overall a lovely stay and we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Crystal River!

This is one of the most classy and comfortable houses Ive ever stayed. Such a stunning location and beautiful sunsets from the extensive back yard. It is right on Kings Bay. I would give it 10 stars if allowed. Just excellent and I would return again. I hated to leave.
View from the back yard and seawall..stunning location.
