Initially, it was both the location and how beautiful and serene the pictures looked when we decided on and requested Anita’s Nature Coast Hideaway for our stay in Crystal River. It wasn’t until we arrived that we learned it was all we initially thought and so much more!!! The home, amenities, absolutely gorgeous views for miles on end, privacy and of course our fantastic hosts were all second to no other VRBO stay we have booked in the past. This is not a five star, but a ten star rental!! Highly recommend to anyone seeking the ideal spot when vacationing in this area of the Gulf Coast. Thank you again Anita and Pat!!!

The location makes Anita's hideaway a 5 star rating though the house itself could definitely use some updating. Regardless, our family enjoyed the beautiful view and had a great time fishing.

Beautiful and peaceful!

We had a nice and relaxing stay at this beautiful property. The views are awesome and it’s so peaceful right on the water. We loved all of the porches, great to have the screened options to keep at least some of the bugs away! The kayaks and bikes are a nice touch as well.

Birthday Weekend

This was a perfect place to get away for a few days for my birthday weekend. The home was very clean and exactly as described. I brought my own paddle board but there are 3 kayaks available to use which is amazing. It is right on the water and so peaceful. When i needed something, the owners were super responsive and even stopped by to help out. I would definitely recommend this property for your next getaway. Thank you again Anita and Pat!

Second time was just as good as the first.

Second time booking this property. We enjoy everything this property offers. The views are stunning. We spent a lot of time on the deck taking in those views and visiting with family. When it’s time to go fishing, the dock is just a few feet from the house. Very short boat ride out to where we like to fish. House is comfortable and well appointed. The owners are super nice and very responsive. Highly recommend this property!

Our first morning we were greeted by a spectacular show of 3 dolphins jumping and flipping right out in front of dock. Anita and Pat are lovely hosts and available for anything we needed. We very much enjoyed paddling around the area with the kayaks. Great vacation!

A great place to relax. Close to town and to Shrimp Landing Seafood where we got take out a number of times (try the fish tacos). The wonderful screened in porch was where we spent most of our time. Anita was very gracious and helpful.

Nature Coast Hideaway

Terrific place on the marshlands! We had great birding, kayaking and fishing. This was our second visit here and we thoroughly enjoyed our two week plus stay. Fabulous sunsets and sunrises and a very comfortable home. Crystal River is a fun town to visit and walk around. Three Sisters Spring was loaded with manatees. Really great!
