About this property

Retro Riverside Retreat

💦WATERFRONT HOME! Discover our newly renovated retro-themed retreat on a peaceful canal at Kings Bay. 🔴BOAT SLIP with trailer parking. 🔴KAYAKS (one tandem and 2 singles ( 2 youth available upon request), 🔴CHARCOAL GRILL 🔴FISHING POLES. 🔴BICYCLES (1man, 2 womens). Fort Island beach, highly rated golf course, air boating, swimming with manatees, snorkeling and diving are all less than 5 minutes away. And don’t forget scallop season! The canal's depth varies throughout the year. During the summer months, the lowest tide will allow a 2 1/2-3' depth and can get even lower in the winter months. Pontoons and flat bottom boats are best.

KITCHEN/LIVING
This kitchen includes all the cookware and appliances you need to make a meal, but the real treat is our bright blue retro fridge. Our guests will have fun with the fondu pot or making use of our vintage popcorn bowls while watching a movie on our comfy couch. Next, enjoy listening to some old and new records on our record player and definitely don't miss out on our oh so fun gum ball machine! Board games and playing cards are available too.

A stackable washer/dryer is in the kitchen area. Detergent and dry sheets are provided.

BATHROOM

Use our poles to fish right from the backyard, launch the kayaks and enjoy the convenience of the boat slip. The boat slip for the property is located on the vacant lot next door and will fit up to a 25' in length. Watch out for the manatee, otters and turtles that love our canal!

Crystal River Getaway
Enjoyed our stay and property was great. Neighborhood was quiet and easy to find. Enjoyed a fishing charter and played golf at the Plantation Course. Visited shops and several restaurants. Our host, Vicki was available to answer any questions. Home was comfy yard area was pleasant. Canal was a little low so we didn't get to use the kayaks. Overall we had great time.

Choose wisely and stay here!
What a great rental property! Cute and comfortable with everything one could need for an enjoyable stay. Comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen, fast internet, and lovely outdoor space. We took the kayak out into the bay and explored a few canals (it was pretty windy so we stayed closer to home.) We got to swim with the manatees (bucket list item accomplished!) and had a great time here.

Crystal River Scalloping Weekend
The property feels brand new! It's clean, well furnished, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. We spent a day kayaking to 3-Sister's Spring (from the backyard of the proprety) and a day scalloping. I highly reccommend this property!

Scalloping Family Vacation
My family was looking for a quiet place on the water with easy access to the scalloping grounds of crystal river! This place was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. It was so clean when we arrived. The boat slip fit our 21 ft sportsman boat perfect, with the empty lot for parking the trailer. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. My family enjoyed the kayaks they had onsite for our use. It was the perfect vacation! Only thing I would note if bringing a boat is that there are some big rocks in the canal and the tide does get quite low. Our boat was fine and we managed to work around the rocks by going slow and remembering where they were. Just something to be mindful of. We will definitely be back next year!
