This home was awesome! Very clean, all the amenities you could ever need, and easy access to Crystal River and Gulf of America by boat. Tina was always available for questions and was fast to reply with recommendations for dinner or stores near by. Highly recommend and will stay again next time in the area.

2 families, 9 total people. House had plenty of space for all of us. Super clean and everything you could need. If anything was needed Tina was easy to get a hold of. Good space for parking and boat trailer on side of road. Dock was great, easily fit 25ft boat. Easy to get to scallop grounds. Saw mantees and dolphins in backyard. Will look to book again next year. Thanks again Tina

Swimming with the manatees

My family and I had a pleasant time at this house! The house was clean and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Tina was in contact with us ahead of and throughout our stay which made for a smooth process start to finish.We came to the area to see and swim with the manatees. Within 10 minutes drive you can be at Three Sisters Springs and depending on the day see 100 manatees from land!

Fantastic House on the Water!

We celebrated Grandma's and Dad's birthdays with 9 family members total for the weekend and everyone kept raving how wonderful the place was! There is plenty to do for the kids and adults and you can even bring your boat to tie off in the canal. The place was spotless and super clean. We definitely will be staying again!

Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Even though it rained most of our days in Crystal River, we had a great time! This house had everything needed to ensure a pleasant stay from a well stocked kitchen to plenty of kayaks for our entire family! It’s a well decorated house, and there were many indoor and outdoor games for all ages to enjoy. Great location!

Absolutely AMAZING house and host

Tina (the host) was so very helpful on our trip, recommending places to kayak and see the manatees as well as other questions we had. Her house was absolutely perfect for us...4 adults and 4 kids. The screened in porch is heaven along with the kayaks available for use by renters. The house is warm and inviting while having lots of space for everyone. The kitchen is fully stocked. I have rented many homes and this one is the best!!!!

Great Property on the Water

My extended family stayed for a week over Christmas. The property is in a great location to enjoy the area - swimming with manatees, boating, fishing, airboats, hiking and sightseeing. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking family meals. You can fish right off the dock. The house also has indoor and outdoor games. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and paddling down the river. We would gladly stay at this property again.

Perfect getaway!

This was a long weekend trip for us and all I can say is that we all wished we could have stayed longer. We have stayed in multiple rentals and this was in the top few as far as cleanliness, responsiveness of host, and well stocked property. Tina is an amazing host, very responsive and literally has thought of everything for her guests to be comfortable and relaxed! Beautiful property and location, the porch was my favorite spot! It is also perfectly located to shops, restaurants, dive tours, etc. We even had a dolphin encounter in the canal! Clean, spacious, beautiful home! If you are going to Crystal River, do not hesitate to book this property! We would definitely stay again. Thank you Tina!

Wonderful Weekend!

We had such a great time renting this home. The house is well-stocked, way beyond what i expected. Tina was so responsive and accommodating to our family. The decor in the home is beautiful, the location is ideal, and the dock/kayaks/fire pit/screened porch made the outdoors just as appealing as inside the home. We will 100% be back and 100% recommend this home!
