Property features 2 patios - one screened upstairs and a downstairs patio and cool playroom/ garage with a pool table, kayaks, hot tub, and all manner of toys. Roast marshmallows or grill your fresh catch on the fire pit, gas grill or hibachi. Master bedroom features king bed and a master bath with Jacuzzi tub and separate walk in shower.

Hidden Gem
This was very pleasant for a full family to have lots of space, comfort and plenty of entertainment. It's located on the end of a canal so there is no current and it's safe for children. We would recommend it!

Peaceful and Beautiful Crystal River Location
Beautiful well kept property close to King Spring where the manatees hang. We brought our boat and tied up at the floating dock. Fires in the pit every night. So peaceful.! Host Daniel is very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

What a splendid place to stay!
This house is perfectly situated in Crystal River to go see the Manatees, the parks, the places to eat and other items of interest. Nicely appointed with colorful pictures, comfortable furniture, and any water sport item you needed. Daniel communicated with us all the details needed and was just a phone call away just in case. We highly recommend this place and would stay here again!

Amazing!
This house was incredible for our family. It was very clean and comfortable. Getting the kayaks out and into the water was a breeze from the basement. We were able to spread out a bit, there was room to play games, and we all slept great. The kitchen was stocked with basics plus had treats left from past visitors. It made everything easy. The owner was extremely responsive and gave us great tips on things in the area. All we tried were spot on! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel

Host profile image
We are a fun loving Florida family that lives in Orlando and loves to take advantage of our beautiful state by vacationing in Crystal River, Daytona, Cocoa Beach, the Keys, Siesta Key, Anna Maria . . . . well you get the point. We recently decided to buy our first vacation home as to use / rent because we have had such great experiences on VRBO. We have 2 young children and enjoy water sports of all types. We (Dan and Hazel) have scuba dived around the world and try to have active vacations in order to keep the kids engaged. Hazel grew up in Spring Hill FL about an hour away from this property and Dan grew up in Lakeland. We have traveled extensively and lived abroad in London before moving back to Orlando.

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing in Crystal River for many years. As our kids got older, we started using VRBO so thought it would be good to keep our eyes out for the right property. On our last vacation we spotted this home with "great bones" in a great location. It needed updating and it was a level of work we were comfortable taking on. We did most of the remodel ourselves, from "color washed" butcher block counters to removing unneeded walls and opening up the kitchen / family room space. We executed the design and selection of colors, materials, furnishings, and amenities based on what we like - clean and relaxed - including some awesome art from Leoma Lovegrove, a Key West artist / diva. Given we have young children, Wi-Fi and high quality TV was not optional!

What makes this property unique

Space to accommodate large families and direct no bridge access to gulf
location on a river feeder with 7 natural mini-springs
- location close to Manatee Sanctuary, the Gulf (for scalloping) shopping, Plantation Inn,
- space to accommodate large families
- "basement" with views of the river, pool table, kayaks, ping pong, etc. and a fire pit!
- new and upgraded everything (including new pillow top mattresses)
- outside shower to clean off after fishing or swimming with the Manatees
