Waterfront home in Crystal River w/private dock and kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"It has been many years since I raised my sons in Crystal River, and although we’ve visited often, this trip was something special — just my husband and me with our five young grandchildren. This property is truly AMAZING. The house itself has a bit of a “campy” feel, but as a stilt home perched on a point, it offers delightful views and unforgettable sunsets over Kings Bay.The small cove between the large neighborhood dock and the house was alive with marine life. We saw multiple manatee every single day, and one afternoon a dolphin swam right into the cove to fish. We sat on the dock in absolute astonishment as she leapt out of the water to catch her prey. It was incredible.Kings Bay is simply beautiful, and the provided kayaks were such a thoughtful touch — perfect for exploring the water and enjoying the natural surroundings.We had a thrilling and memorable long weekend, thanks to the stunning natural beauty of this very special place and the hospitality of our attentive hosts. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic Crystal River experience."
