Charming Cottage With Spring Fed Cove Access

Please message us for rates 3 weeks and longer. This two bedroom, one bathroom cottage is a short 3 minute walk to a large private community dock with freshwater springs off each side. It is conveniently located in the Kings Bay area, and close to all the local restaurants and downtown shopping. From the dock you can swim, fish and watch manatees swim, mullet jump daily. We have two adult kayaks and two children’s kayaks (life jackets are provided for each one) available for our guests.
This home is fully furnished and there are 3 flat screen TVs with Internet access through Roku TVs and Amazon Fire Sticks, so you have access to HULU, NETFLIX, Disney+ and other enjoyable programming. There are 2 queen beds in the bedrooms, the sun porch has a day bed with a trundle pull out and the living room has a couch that pulls out into another bed, so there's plenty of sleeping room for a larger family. For your convenience, we provide FREE wireless Internet. We have a high-efficiency washer and dryer available for your use. Linens and towels are provided for your use. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to cook an entire meal (crock pot, blender, griddle, coffee pot that makes 12 cups). Enjoy our backyard, very private, with an outdoor shower, fire pit, seating and market lights strung above. A charcoal BBQ grill is also provided for outdoor grilling. The floating dock has plenty of space to bring your boat and also a great area for families to swim and snorkel. Nestled in this cove you are very close to The Plantaton Resort on Crystal River which other friends and family can stay so you can all enjoy the great outdoors together, either scalloping, fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, spa, golfing and tennis. This home is 2 miles from both Hunter Springs & Three Sisters Springs, approximately 30 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and a quick 5 minutes to all restaurants and shopping. Crystal River is home to the best scalloping in Florida and the only place in North America where you can legally swim with manatees. During the summer, you can catch freshwater bass and blue crabs right off the dock. Offshore, there is terrific shallow and deep-water grouper fishing. Spear fishing is very popular in this area. Within a short drive, there is a mall with a multiplex movie theater, restaurants and shopping in historic downtown Crystal River, kayaking, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, walking and bike trails, scuba diving, and swimming with the manatees. The house is only a short walk from the Crystal River Archaeological Museum and surrounded by the Crystal River State Park Buffer Reserve. Plan a day trip to any of the nine state parks within 50 miles or work on your back swing at one of the 12 nearby golf courses. You will make memories to last a lifetime here!

*Plenty of room for parking and room for a vehicle and boat trailer in the backyard.

*One small dog, under 30 lbs, allowed, pet fee will be added, no cats please due to owner allergies.

**This house has never flooded.

A great month-long stay
We stayed for over a month in January and February. We had a great time at the house and in the area. The house was very neat, well-equipped, and everything worked. We stored our bikes in the garage at night. We used the house kayaks at the nearby association dock. They are the sit-on-top style. We are used to longer, sit-inside sea kayaks, but they worked just fine. The house is on a corner lot, but the neighborhood is very quiet. We'd stay again.

Place was great and the owners were VERY responsive. Answered all of my emails right away. My only complaint would be the beds were stiff other than that it was great.

Just Right!
Stayed for three nights. Location we awesome.. very convenient to shops but tucked in away from the noise. We rented the golf cart and it was perfect for hauling our items to the dock which is just a one minute ride away down a residential street. Put our boat in and took out at the Plantation Inn ramp, super quick 5 minute boat ride to dock. Swimming in the alcove was awesome and the teenagers enjoyed the kayaks. Would stay again.. very homey and Matt/Angie were quick with help and responses. Only two wishes... that there would have been two more adult kayaks and a larger pot for cooking, something like a stew or steamer pot.

Fantastic!
Cute little place. Perfect for our annual scalloping trip. Spacious kitchen and comfy living room. Bedrooms were good size and bathroom was ample size. Plenty of towels and blankets. Complementary water bottles were a nice touch. Lots of pots, pans, and other items needed to cook a good size meal. Counter space is sparse but we made it work. Love that it's on a corner lot w/ room for our truck and trailer. Dock was a little small for how many houses were in the neighborhood, BUT we were able to dock each evening. The property owners were super communicative and extremely nice. Will definitely consider staying at this cute home again!

Grandparents and childrens trip of the summer
We took our grands, age 11 and 9 and the house was perfect. All the necessaary items to make our stay comforable. Hosts were very attentive and even had some flashlights delivered to us as weather was unpredictable. Well stocked and well kept cottage. Wood ceilings, walls and tile floors made it comfortable and homey. We fished, caught scallops, and was able to swim with manatees. Very short distance to Plantation Club and good restaurants.
