House was clean and comfortable with nice pool and dock to tie our boat. Lots of counter space in kitchen. Teri was a wonderful host with excellent communication. Driveway is challenging if you have a boat but this was mentioned in the description. Overall would highly recommend!

It makes me happy to know that you found our home clean and as described. We think it’s pretty special, and I am so glad you found it to be just as magical.
This was our second year staying at this property, and it continues to exceed expectations. The house is extremely clean, the views are gorgeous, and the location is perfect for quick river access and grabbing supplies. The dock and cleaning station were well maintained and made our days on the water easy. Inside, the beds and blankets were so comfortable—it truly feels like a welcoming home away from home.

We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed having our boat so easily accessible for fishing and scalloping throughout the week! Communication with the host was great throughout the stay. Thanks so much!

Thank you for a great review. It was nice to meet you and your family. It looked like you had a wonderful time and took advantage of all the wonderful things to do and see in Crystal River. You left our home in perfect condition, and it was a joy being able to host your family. You are always welcome at our home.
What incredible stay at Casa Del Sol. We travel frequently and I always travel with "what I might need". During this visit we needed nothing (hair dryer was needed in master bathroom). Kitchen provided everything we needed including decent fry pans and big pots. All little things were also available from laundry soap, dish washer soap, hand soap, dish soap to name a few kitchen items. House also provided pool towels, and ample bathroom towels for our group of five. All bedrooms had king size beds, so perfect for adult groups. The one bedroom off the master was an adjoining room with sliding doors and required going through the master bedroom to use the bathroom. Home was especially clean and welcoming along with communications prior to our stay with our host. Highly recommend and we will be back

Thank you for the 10/10 review. It is greatly appreciated. I let the housekeepers know that you appreciated the cleanliness of the home and that the home was well stocked. We really do try to think of everything. I looked into the missing blow dryer and it was located. It should have been there for your stay, and I assure you that it will be there for your next stay. Thanks again.
We know that when it comes to vacation rentals, there are many to choose from. We are pleased that you chose ours! You were wonderfully considerate guests, and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Happy Travels - Teri
Teri was super easy to communicate with and quickly addressed any issues we shared with her. While she can’t control the weather, our weather was perfect during our stay. The access to the Gulf and springs was very convenient by boat. Boat docking was sufficient for two boats. The pool was clean which we enjoyed daily. The kitchen had lots of utensils and our family divided those duties so not everyone had to cook each night! Perfect stay!! Our second at Casa del Sol. Hopefully we’ll be back!!!

We continue to be blessed with wonderful guests and, you guys are at the top of that list. Thank you for taking care of our home. Upon your departure, we could hardly tell that someone had stayed. So, thank you again and please keep us in mind should your travels bring you this way again. It sounds like you took advantage of all the wonderful seafood restaurants and sights to see in CR. I keep saying that Crystal River is a magical place. It warms my heart to know that you found the same magic we experience every day. We truly do live in paradise.
The house and location is a dream come true. Clean, neat, spacious for our family. The pool was clean and plenty of sitting/tanning area. The dock area was clean and well taken care of. Our last morning ended with 3 surprise visitors as I was sitting at the dock. Two manatees and a dolphin came by to show off for a while. It was perfect! Highly recommend!!

Thrilled that you enjoyed the kitchen and that it was equipped with everything you needed for a large Thanksgiving meal. We put great effort into assuring our guests receive the best vacay possible. Sounds like we met those standards for you. Thanks for the wonderful review.
The house was clean and comfortable. It had all the comforts of a home and was well equipped for cooking. Enjoyed the pool and water access from the dock. We would definitely stay here again.

Such a comfortable place that felt like home within moments of getting there! Home had everything we could possibly want and the owner was super quick to check in with us and respond to anything we needed. Would stay there again! Loved the boat dock, river access and view!

Sandy - you and your family were wonderful guests. Thank you for taking care of our home. I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
House was in a great location for scalloping. Very nice on a long day on the water to relax in pool/ jacuzzi.

Agree! There is nothing better then to hop into the pool or to soak in the hot tub after a long day fishing. Add in a frozen adult beverage, and you have paradise!
The view is perfect. Deep water lagoon is great for fishing off the dock.
Beds were very comfortable, the pool was a great touch. The location is quiet but easily accessible to town. Very easy for our fishing guide to pick us up right off the dock since it’s so close to King’s bay.

Fishing Guide! You did it right! Crystal River and the Nature Coast is known for its inner coastal fishing waters. People come from all over the world to fish our waters. Hopefully you caught a nice big Red Fish, a few Sea Trout or even a Snook. All are great game fish and wonderful to eat!

Perfect location!
The House was great, had a lot of convenient necessities, and large living spaces for hanging out. It was great to have a pool to swim in daily as well.

I agree - the house is the perfect size for hanging out with family and friends. The pool and hot tub are a little bonus after a long afternoon fishing or scalloping. Please keep Casa Del Sol in mind for your next visit to Crystal River.
Very nice clean home, nice views of a channel! Even saw an alligator! We really enjoyed the beautiful updated kitchen and the pool. Great location, easy to get to all attractions

Hi Deb - Thank you for the five-star review. We always like it when our guests enjoy are home and all that Crystal River has to offer. You were wonderful guests and you are always welcome at our home. Thanks again.
We love our pool and hot tub area. Not only is it refreshing after a long day on the boat but Florida is "no-Seeum" country and the screened lanai is not only a luxury but a necessity when it comes to staying bug free!
The home was beautifully decorated and so clean! The layout of 2BR on each end was perfect and plenty of room in between. The updated kitchen was a dream and well equipped-we loved the dishes :)The kids loved the pool and we all spent a lot of time fishing on the dock and enjoying the view. What a great family vacation.!! The owner responded almost immediately with any small concerns that we had.

We had a wonderful stay at this canal front home! Inside of house and backyard is wonderful. Communication with the owner was also top notch. So much good food in the area, and was able to see an abundance of wildlife.
