About the host

Hosted by Kim and Forrest Small

Host profile image
While visiting family in Florida, we fell in Love with Crystal River and all that it has to offer as well as surrounding communities. We were amazed by both the fresh water and saltwater opportunities for the outdoorsman. Quickly we noticed the "sleepy town" of Crystal River works so hard to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The countless parks, trails, and friendly community was like no other we have visited in Florida before. Recognizing the need to be closer to family in Florida, we purchased our "2nd Home", already creating memories for our family of 5. Recognizing that quality homes close to many of the attractions in the area are not plentiful, nor are hotel accommodations, we decided to share our private oasis with you.

Why they chose this property

The Crystal Mermaid was the perfect name for our little home, nestled on a private lot in a neighborhood with other homeowners. Just minutes from the eclectic downtown Crystal River, offering dining, shopping, coffee houses, and museums. So close to Pete's Pier, and other public boat ramps for the fisherman, and the amazing Springs in the Area where you can actually swim with the manatees. Our family scalloped for the first time in this year and now know what all the excitement is about!. As a scallop lover I thought I had tasted the best, UNTIL we scalloped with Captain John Beach with Allure Outfitters, cleaned our shellfish, and had them cooked for us at local establishment. Need I say more? We were hooked on the area and hope you will be too!

What makes this property unique

Crystal River offers warm Gulf Water, spring fed rivers, swimming and snorkeling with manatees. Lakes, rivers , bays and more, there is something for everyone. Don't fish? Try the great golf courses around, hike through unspoiled forests, cycle on top rated trails, relax in our humble oasis, recently renovated and waiting for you to relax after a full day of discovery of this unique Florida city Crystal River.
