About Patty Beaty
My husband and I are Tennessee Natives with a Love for the Florida Lifestyle and this Fabulous Nature Coast. We happened upon Crystal River while camping and Riding Horses. Never knew Florida could be so much fun with so much to do. We are excited to get to share our little piece of heaven with the world. Planning ahead for our retirement we bought our only vacation rental in September of 2017. We have been thrilled with the support we are getting to share our home. We think it' special and are so thankful others do too. Thank you to all upcoming and past guests for helping us share our little piece of paradise with the world until the day we can permanently call it home.
Patty Beaty purchased this House in 2017
Why Patty Beaty chose Crystal River
We absolutely Love this little "hidden gem" of an area located in Florida. This house is located right in the heart of surrounding activities to make your vacation the best it can be. It is in a safe/upscale neighborhood surrounded by multi million dollar homes. We first vacationed in this area because of the State Forests and warm winter weather for camping and horseback riding with our horses. The area is surrounded with Nature Trails and Beautiful Florida scenery. From the many gorgeous Palms to the breath taking Live Oaks there is no place prettier to be "one" with nature. After here we began to discover all the other amazing things this location has to offer. The natural springs are some of the most gorgeous you will ever see. This home is right in the center of all of it. How heartwarming to see dolphin and manatee in your backyard. You can paddleboard, kayak, boat. The fun never ends! Our friends who visit for the first time are amazed. They thought Florida was just going to the beach and driving in heavy traffic. Going to restaurants and waiting in long lines that serve mass produced food/overpriced. But..... OH NO!!!! It's so much better in Crystal River!!! We love the local fresh seafood and small family owned restaurants. Ease of getting to your destinations. The beauty of this nature coast. I don't think there is a better place to enjoy your time once you discover it too. This house has the space to do all of these things and be comfortable with your family and friends.
What makes this House unique
Huge Home that truly has beds and space for 12 people. 5 bedrooms and a futon. No Blow Up mattresses. No bunk beds. Two King Beds, Three Queen Beds and One Futon. 4 Full Bathrooms. Great choice for multi family vacations and family reunions. The house is centrally located to all activities in the Crystal River Area. House is divided up so guests don't feel cramped and crowded. Space for everyone to be together or do lots of individual things. Main Chanel is One home away and NO Bridges to Gulf or Kings Bay. Not a better set up in Crystal River for large groups and area activities. We were home to National Geographic employees while working on a manatee project recently here in Crystal River. Come and Stay and See for Yourself.

A Great Find
So happy your family enjoyed our home. We think our "Little Spot of Heaven" is pretty special and love when we can share it with great guests like your family. Thank you for choosing our home and leaving it in such great shape after your stay. It did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Glad you are coming back next year......Thank you again.
Comfortable for all ages.
My favorite stories are family stories. I loved getting to be a small part of your mothers 90th birthday party. So happy you chose our home to celebrate the event. Maybe come again for The 100th Birthday Celebration?????
This was the best home we have ever rented!
Thank you Beth for allowing us to host your family event. So happy you came and so happy the home met your expectations. We Have the Greatest Guests!
5 stars
We have the best guests at our home. Thank you so much for staying at "The River House." I love that upstairs veranda too. It is such a tranquil place to sit and enjoy some of the Amazing Nature Florida has to offer. Glad you had a wonderful trip and glad we could be a part of it.
Much nicer than the online pictures show.
I was so happy to host some fellow Tennesseans. I did not know them prior to their visit but got the chance to meet a few of them while they stayed. This group definitely made our home state proud. Gentlemen who took great care of our home and left it with very little cleaning work to do after they left. I am so thankful you chose our home and can't wait for your group to visit again next year. GO VOLS!!!
Family Christmas get together
Thank you for visiting. It gives me such pleasure to have families spending time together in our home. Glad we could be a small part of your memories.
