Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
This property was perfect for us to enjoy with our family and friends. The house, the view, the location and the amenities were all that we could have asked for. We are thinking of coming back again next year.
We had six adults and four children for 10 days in March 2026. The house was plenty large enough to accommodate all of us. The kids loved the heated pool and their bedroom was plenty large enough to accommodate them. They loved the TV in their room as well. The kitchen had many extras that I did not expect but appreciated. Most reviews comment on how clean the house was and I agree! We also loved the screened in porch to relax and watch the boats. We would definitely like to book the house again. The host was very responsive to questions.

Legend has it sailors who had been at sea many months would see mermaids and bring these stories back to shore. It is now believed what they might have been seeing were manatees as they inhabit many areas around the world. Here in Crystal River we have manatees!!!!
WINTER AND EARLY SPRING The manatees flock to this area for the warm spring water and you have to be careful...they are everywhere.......
SUMMER Summer is scallop season (July through September) and it is very fun to go scalloping. They are out in the gulf in the grass flats in an area which varies in depth from 3 to 8 feet. This makes scalloping fun for all ages! There are a few full-time resident manatees who stay in Crystal River year-round. You have to keep a very keen eye out to see them.
