We came into town to do work for a week. We put on a music festival over a weekend. One of the reasons we put on the festival on and have camping is because there is so much to do on the Nature Coast. The house was much larger than you would imagine. There is a lot of room to spread out. I loved the place because it wasn't set up and decorated like a hotel room, and it felt more like being home. Very clean, comfortable beds and bedding; I'd stay here again, and most likely will. Pet-friendly and within quick walking distance to the river

Clean, quaint and well-equipped house for a crowd

Highly recommended for a complete package getaway for a group of people free of overbearing rules. Comfy beds, quality towels, family games and an exceptional a/c, better than home. Exceeds expectations! I

Perfect for us

We just completed our stay two days ago. This place was great. Truly a gem. It is on a quiet street with a cafe next door. It’s small and cozy and met all of our needs. There’s 4 bedrooms, plus two small living rooms. One with a couch and one with a futon. More than enough sleeping areas for our group of 5. Two bathrooms, but none are located in any of the bedrooms. There’s a porch to have quiet time on, and a screened in patio with another eating area and room to put our gear after our outings. No issue of parking. Fully stocked kitchen in terms of pots, pans ands utensils…and seasonings . It’s close to Crystal River 16 minutes.Close to Homosossa where they have an animal preserve and several parks on the water. There’s a gulf preserve nearby for exploration. And Manatee Springs State Park is north about 45 minutes.We were happy with this place. Only spent evenings there, but each day we commented on what a great and cute place it was. We were able to bring our dog. I wish we had more time there. If in the area, we would definitely stay again. Owner, John, is prompt with communication, and personable. Directions and door code were in my inbox before i could ask for them the day before our arrival. Overall a great experience.

Great location!

This was the perfect house if you’re going scalloping or doing anything on the water. Room to park your boat, or two! Super short ride to the ramp!
