There is also a finished-in garage with access to the washer and dryer, and there is plenty of room in the driveway for two vehicles and a boat trailer. Please note, there is no parking in the garage, grass, or street at anytime.

Manatee and Dolphin come up to the dock frequently to visit. Sail-fin Catfish, Sheepshead, trout, Red Snapper, Snook and Red fish are some the fish that can be found in the area. To see or catch them for sure we recommend a tour or fish charter. Boat rentals are also available at nearby Twin Rivers Marina.

SCALLOPERS!!! We all love scalloping!! Crystal River offers one of the few remaining areas to scallop in Florida during the summer. Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US. and the best action is usually in 4-6 feet of water around Gomez Rocks at Latitude 2829.8, Longitude 8243.7. Scallop grounds are about 5-10 miles out by boat.

This home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac street in the heart of Crystal River near the springs, restaurants and the downtown area.. The home is approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, Hunter springs and 30 minutes from the Gulf of America by boat. Fort Island Beach is a 10 min drive away where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. We highly recommend it for amazing photos!

*** We've had issues with big groups in the past, both because the house (and the pool) are built on a residential (i.e., not commercial) scale. So we are a bit tough on groups that have the max guest counts or close to. First and foremost BE HONEST when booking. No more than 4 adults should be in the house, and no more than 6 total guests at one time. We can't accommodate groups that want to rent the house next door/nearby/ or the hotel room down the street, since everyone likes to swim in our pool which overstresses the filter, leads to huge amounts of garbage, and seems to lead to algae blooms.
