About this property

Relax and unwind in this unique waterfront property!

Picture yourself on a semi-private deck, sipping a cold drink as the sun dips below the horizon and the water gently ripples below—pure serenity. This one-of-a-kind stilt home is a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath loft tucked within a quiet, charming community of just 15 duplex units.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy loft with a luxurious king bed, plus a pull-out couch on the main floor for additional sleeping space. Step out onto the back deck for peaceful canal views and easy access to the boat dock. A nearby tributary flows into the Salt River and Crystal River, only 2 miles from both the Gulf of Mexico and the natural springs.

Cool off with a dip in the pool just steps away, or enjoy a leisurely walk along the boardwalk that winds through the property, offering a unique nature experience right outside your door. Prefer the beach? A five-minute drive takes you to the public beach, and a public boat ramp is only a mile away.

The home includes convenient amenities like in-unit laundry and a fully stocked kitchen with cookware and small appliances, making it perfect for short getaways or longer stays. Nightly rentals are available (4-night minimum, or 2-night minimum during off-season), as well as weekly or monthly options.

Bringing a boat? Guests are welcome to use the dock and trailer parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note: boats must be 22 feet or shorter (including the engine), and must be secured with a rope for the dock and an anchor for the rear—no power poles permitted. Be sure to contact the host for boat-related arrangements.

For the comfort of all guests, smoking is not permitted inside the unit. Please note this property is not suitable for children under 12 and does not allow pets. Maximum occupancy is limited to 4 guests.

Experience a peaceful stay in our tranquil community, surrounded by natural beauty and warm hospitality.

Important Notice: A live-feed camera is installed on the shared deck between this unit and the adjacent one, used only to monitor the owner’s boat. The camera does not record and has no microphone.

Pack your bags—your perfect waterside retreat awaits!

Not as advertised

We do feel the unit was a little misrepresented in the VRBO description (and therefore not the value we paid for). When we booked, this listing showed the following items as amenities that were not there: (listing has been updated to remove these) • icemaker • dishwasher • dining table • cookware/dishware (the only dishes were small plates big enough for a sandwich-not for dinners) and no baking/cookie sheet to cook in the oven • Kayak ( was listed as property amenity- removed from listing). No storage in bedroom for clothing. Had to live out of suitcases except for items that would hang. Unit location was close to the parking lot and the pool. You could see both very clearly. HOWEVER, anyone in the parking lot or pool could see you if you were in the bedroom. The Host/owner listed in pics that the blinds had been removed from the large windows in the unit, but the reality of lack of privacy is not evident by the pics. I even spoke with the lady who watches the grounds and she said she could see into the bedroom from pool. This really was a problem for me as I could never walk to the bedroom to change clothes or dress after a shower without potentially being seen which was uncomfortable. We did ask about covering the windows after the first night and was told it was not possible and YES, we were offered the option to cancel with partial refund. We spent 2 weeks searching for a room before booking and 11 hours driving there. We didn't have it in us to search again.

A few days relaxing in Crystal River...

Highly recommend!!! I spent three nights here visiting with my brother & family (they own a condo here). Beautiful condo, right by the pool and a nice deck where we ate our evening meals. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room. Comfortable bed. Nice pool with plenty of chairs and tables. We brought our kayaks. Rented a boat one day from the marina just down the road. In the evening, drove down to the gulf beach to watch the sunset. April is a lovely host, communicated well regarding check-in, check-out, and details about the condo. I live just over an hour away, but felt like I was a world away. Had a much needed relaxing and restful stay. I plan to stay here again. BTW, plenty of nice restaurants: Seafood Seller & Crab plant have great seafood! Crackers is nice for sitting outside...food ok... Or take a drive to Homassassa and eat at The Freezer - get steamed shrimp and smoked mullet dip...cash only.

Work/play getaway

Was looking for a place to stay, preferably on or close to the water to get some work done and close enough to Crystal River to explore a new area for me. The rental was a very good fit for me and I was able to get a lot done. Nice area. Great hosts. A very nice stay.

Pup Friendly - Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at Sawgrass Landing. Such a neat and convenient location. We were able to bring our pup who was really fascinated with all the nature around us. Loved seeing the osprey building a nest right across the street from the entrance. We were visiting with friends in Crystal River and the location couldn't have been better. The unit was small, but perfect. The kitchen and bath had been updated and were very nice. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!

All the amenities, close to nature.

My wife and I were very comfortable here. Far enough from the main road with a feeling of being close to nature, but still close enough to everything. All the comforts of home, well decorated cozy condo. The upstairs has a really nice king bed and a full bath with a good sized closet, also a nice half bath on the first floor. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We highly recommend!

This is a very nice property. Great location. Ford Island Beach is a nice beach. It's not as large as a lot of beaches, but just as nice. The view from the condo is really nice and they provide lots of different spices, laundry supplies, and coffee.

Awesome Location. Awesome Place.

Stayed for a long weekend of fishing a d relaxing and The Last Resort was the perfect base of operations. The property has everything you need to make your stay hassle free. The property is close to boat ramps, a marina, and shrimp landing restaurant, where you can eat, load up on bait and tackle, or snag a charter. There is dock space and trailer parking with this unit and for this affordable price those amenities cannot be beat. You have a nice view of the tidal canal that leads out to Crystal River and then the springs are to the right, the gulf to the left. When the tide comes in, it actually goes underneath the units which I find to be totally cool. You're literally sleeping on top of the water. There is also a nice pool to cool off in if the beach that's 4 miles away isn't your thing. Checkin was a breeze and the owners are easy to reach with any questions or concerns you may have. I will definitely return to this one.
