About the host

Hosted by Emily Fast

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Emily — originally from a small town in Iowa, now happily hosting travelers from all over the world. I’ve always loved exploring new places and finding small adventures in everyday life, and that passion naturally led me to hosting.

Creating a comfortable, welcoming, home-away-from-home experience for guests is something I truly enjoy. I love hearing about what made your trip special and what little moments delighted you during your stay.

I look forward to hosting you and helping make your visit memorable!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood in Crystal River because it truly captures what makes this area so special — a peaceful, nature-filled community that’s close to everything guests love about the Gulf Coast. Crystal River is known for its slow-paced charm, friendly locals, and easy access to the water, and this neighborhood is the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility.

Being just minutes from the manatee springs, riverfront activities, waterfront dining, and the historic downtown area makes it an ideal home base for exploring. At the same time, the neighborhood stays quiet, safe, and relaxing — the perfect retreat after a day out on the water or adventuring around town.

Whether guests come to kayak, fish, swim with manatees, or simply unwind, this location offers the best of Crystal River right at your doorstep — and that’s exactly why I fell in love with it.

What makes this property unique

This home stands out for its blend of comfort, character, and location. It’s pet-friendly, making it easy for guests to bring their four-legged family members along for the adventure. Inside, the brightly painted floors add a fun, vibrant personality you won’t find in typical rentals — it instantly feels cheerful, welcoming, and full of charm.

The location is equally special: you’re just minutes away from all of Crystal River’s best adventures — manatees, springs, kayaking, fishing, and the waterfront — yet the home sits in a quiet, peaceful area right next to the forest. It’s the perfect balance of being close to everything while still having your own private, nature-filled retreat.

Whether you're exploring the outdoors or relaxing in a colorful, cozy space, this property delivers a truly unique stay.
