This memorable house is the perfect home base for your trip to Crystal River. A ranch style home built in the mid 70s Has been divided into two apartments that are completely separated. This listening is for the front apartment which offers two cozy bedrooms featuring a king Bed in one room and a queen bed in the other so guests can rest comfortably after a day of adventure.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Ceiling fan blades flying off. Said it had washer/dryer in the house that wasn’t true. Can’t even stock toilet paper in unit nor did it even come with a brand new roll. Plumbing was terrible toilet backed up all the time which then came up through the shower drain, came over the first time to ‘fix’ it when I got back to the house he couldn’t even clean the toilet or the shower from the mess it made. No where did it say this was some sort of duplex and the host lives on other side first thing I noticed was a boat and car in the carport. So over all terrible experience and wouldn’t recommend to anyone nor would I come back

The host was very helpful and responded to any questions I had. The house was clean, stocked for cooking, bed was comfortable, and the rooms were well decorated. Although simple, the house served the purpose for our weekend getaway. Very near dining, shops and manatee excursions. I woukd stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
I wish I saw the other review before booking. The description did not include other units on the property and made it seem as the outdoor space was ready to enjoy. Instead, the yard was a mess with a boat and covered car parked in the carport.Inside, broken blinds, an old stained toilet with lousy plumbing, and sparse basics made the stay unenjoyable. There was no information for locating the trash bins or laundry.I also contacted the host only days into a 2 week reservation to shorten the length of the trip but we have not come to a resolution. I would not recommend this property or renting through VRBO at this time.
