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.

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!

Great house, very happy with our stay. House was clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. House had lots of extras like kayaks, fishing poles, pool floats, etc. We definitely recommend this house.
The home is older but in great condition. The pool was a little chilly. The washer and dryer were awesome to have. Crystal River is a nice town to stay in if you don't want the city crowd. I would stay again for sure.

I would highly recommend this property to any family who is looking for a great place to be together and relax, but also enjoy the out of doors with scalloping, fishing, hosting and swimming possibilities right out the back door.

Thank you for your great review Wayne! We appreciate your accurate review of the home and area. We would love to have you and your family back anytime!
Spent the week of 4th of July here with my husband and our teenage kids. First, let me say that this is probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! Every detail is very well thought out, the home was stocked with everything you needed, the beds were very comfortable and there was a smart TV in every room. The back porch/lanai area was so cozy and great for watching our kids splash in the pool and relaxing in the evenings. The location is great and just a short ride from anything you could need in Crystal River and a short boat ride out to the golf. All of Melissa‘s communication was very clear and she was very helpful if we ever had a question or an issue. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We enjoy scalloping, fishing or anything on the water! We also love sharing our home with all of our guest so that they may fall in love with Crystal River just the way we did so many years ago!
Why they chose this property
This property is perfectly situated between the springs and fishing/ scalloping/ gulf waters. It is on a quiet culdesac in a family friendly neighborhood. Near great hiking and biking trails, boat ramp, and archaeological sites.
What makes this property unique
I can not explain the cozy at home feeling this house gives off! It is the most relaxing, calming area to be in, yet still gives you and your family that much needed reconnection.
