Manatee Heaven

We had a wonderful stay and this has been our favorite trip by far! We took our bikes to a great fishing hole close to the house, took a short drive to fort island beach to play in the water, rented a boat for the day, kayaked up and down the river, played in the hot tub, and shopped in town. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating! Great stay!

Very nice!

The home was clean and comfortable. Very spacious. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the screened porch overlooking the canal. Appreciated the convenient location, and the quiet safe neighborhood. We did not utilize the hot tub or the kayaks. The garage was a real plus. It was a peaceful trip!

Christmas in Crystal River

This house was the perfect place to call home over our holiday. Spacious, relaxing, clean, plenty to keep the teens busy, loved using the kayaks and seeing manatees and dolphins on the river. We did a little fishing, used the hot tub most mornings and nights and enjoyed bird watching from the screen porch. If we visit the area again I would definitely stay here.
