Great location for fishing. Near two boat launches. Can easily launch a small kayak from the property. Nicely decorated home with plenty of room for two. Lovely sunroom with water view. Enjoyed the outdoor deck, especially in the evening. Great location for star gazing. Very peaceful location yet not too far from town.

Great spot

This was a great property. Lovely clean house, great spot on the water with kayaks! The one queen bed was soft, but there was no other place to sleep besides a couch that didn't pull out or a really small futon. If you and the person you are going with are cool to share a bed then this place is perfect.

Great relaxing place

My husband and I loved this place. It was very clean and check in was a breeze. We came to the area to snorkel with the manatees and to relax. This was a perfect place to relax. We enjoyed fishing in their backyard. The Backwater Fin restaurant Kim recommended was very good.

We were in town for my son’s wedding and found this place for the week. I absolutely can say this was one of the best places I have ever stayed.

Great FL Spot

This was such a unique spot just outside of Crystal River! It was close to everything but we really enjoyed being out of town and surrounded by water. The house was cozy and I truly appreciated all the little amenities like coffee, toiletries, and laundry products. We spent all of our time on the porch - it’s so relaxing and comfortable!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Thee Nest for an anniversary weekend getaway. The views were beautiful and the house was clean. We fished in the canal from the property and caught jack, speckled trout, ladyfish, and blue crab. The kayaks were fun and easy to take out on the open water. Can't wait to come back

A Sanctuary

This is a great little place away from town, peaceful & quiet. The screened side porch is the perfect spot for dinner or just relaxing. We enjoyed grilling seafood from the local market...kayaking...swimming with the manatee... and visiting Three Sisters Springs. This is old Florida at it's best!
