    Located on a quiet residential street just minutes from the heart of Crystal River, you'll enjoy easy access to everything the area has to offer. Downtown Crystal River, local restaurants, waterfront dining, manatee tours, and Three Sisters Springs are all within a 10-minute drive.

    Other Things to Note:

    **Pet-Friendly Stay**



    Well-behaved pets are welcome! A $100 pet fee per stay helps cover the additional cleaning required between guests. For the comfort of future guests, pets must be crated when left unattended and are not permitted on beds or upholstered furniture. Guests are responsible for any pet-related damage or excessive cleaning beyond normal wear and tear. A pet crate may be available upon request, but cannot be guaranteed.

    Interaction with Guests:

    We respect your privacy and want you to enjoy your stay at your own pace.

Quaint duplex that was clean and just the right size for a group of 4 (2 couples) for 2 days of scalloping. Host responded to questions within 15 minutes on multiple occasions. The only thing missing was a blender to make pina coladas. No big deal! She supplied some light beach towels and a small soft sided cooler, which was a plus! Great little getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Crystal River. The property was very clean and comfortable for our family of five. We even brought our dogs. The house has a little fenced yard which made it nice for them to run around and do their business. The street was quiet. The host communicated often to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is very close to the Plantation on Crystal River if you plan to charter a boat from their marina. Our only suggestion would be adding an antenna so we could view local news/channels from the Roku tv. We can’t wait to come back.
