Very beautiful peaceful place. If you're not sure about this one, trust me it's THE one. Had fun fishing and feeding the turtles. We took the canoe out and went to the lake, saw a couple of otters playing and emu island was a very very nice surprise. The bed was super soft and everything felt inviting. The cottage is a really nice size with a lot of beautiful lighting. Even though it doesn't have a stove it literally has everything else that you would ever need, plus the larger refrigerator outside is a really nice touch. The detail put into this place is really amazing, the lamps are gorgeous and the bathroom is beautiful. All around a definite 10/10. Worth every penny.

Hosts were only a message away if I needed anything. when I did venture out everything, including a beautiful Spring was only nine minutes away. The little yellow cottage is a definite go back again

Short trip
When you walk in the door you can tell the owners love this property. From the decor to the furnishings to the little extras like coffee, creamer etc. We stay in a lot of VRBO properties and you can tell the difference between owner managed and a property management property. Dennis and Debra's darling cottage is almost magical. The location is perfect for being a tourist or doing absolutely nothing. The owners give great driving instructions. Our dog loved it!

Quiet Retreat
We came looking for a quiet weekend getaway and the property did not disappoint. The location is off the beaten path, yet very close to many of the local sites and activities. The outside is very accommodating with plenty of seating to watch the variety of fish swim by in the creek. There was use of kayak, canoe and paddle boat to enjoy. The inside was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. I had no intention of cooking (LOL!) so the limited kitchen facilities was not an issue...no stove or inside full-size refrigerator, nor coffee maker, only Kuerig. The shower had great water temperature and flow, just a little "tight" for our liking. Overall a very good stay!

Cute cottage with great backyard
The water in the backyard is why I selected this place, and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful, beautiful canoe trip from the cottage up and down Halls River. There were lots of fish and we found some manatees. They came to look at us and swam around the canoe.

Adorable
Cottage is absolutely adorable. We really enjoyed our stay.
Lovely little cottage and a crystal clear creek. We were fortunate to see a manatee just after we arrived. What a thrill. Great little property. Will visit again.
Tranquil is an apt description of this property. The cottage itself is charming, and the neighborhood is peaceful. The back door of the cottage opens onto a patio and then a canal. The great thing about this canal is that there is forest on the other side of the water. The water is clear. The mullets were easy to see (but harder to catch). It was the perfect two night getaway for us.

Nature oasis
This is a cozy well maintained cottage. It had everything we were looking for and more. We seen a manatee our first morning from our backyard. We seen so many fish a big alligator snapper an armadillo, wood stork the friendly neighboring white peacock that roams the street. The manatees really can’t get up the waterway in the backyard when it’s low tide but a quick trip to the open water right outside of the canal and a little patience we seen manatees both times we went out and it was so neat they followed us around in the canoe. We also seen sting ray and river otters while on the canoe. We seen no alligators so our last night we took the canoe out with flash lights and right outside of the canal in open water we seen lots of glowing eyes swimming across the water or hiding in the grass. Such a neat experience we will be back to this house on our next trip to Crystal River.

Birthday adventure!
We stayed here in December to celebrate our son turning 11. It was perfect for us. We fished, and even saw the manatee right from the house. Other than enjoying a wonderful seafood dinner, we ate all meals at this house. We booked a swim with the Manatee tour with River Ventures (JJ was the captain and Shelia was our tour guide). Would recommend this trip!!!
