About this property

WATERFRONT views and access to Kings Bay with seawall opp for 1 boat overnight

Crystal River has been recognized as one of the " Most Charming" small towns in the USA by HGTV and was also voted a top 10 Best Summer Travel Destination by USA TODAY 10 best Readers Choice. It wont take you long to realize why!
This beautiful three story detached house with 3900 sq feet, overlooks a natural tidal lagoon in Kings Bay Crystal River, Florida .Definitely family friendly with large screened in pool ( not heated), huge lot with outdoor fire pit and room for games like corn hole on the lawn. Expect to have coffee in rocking chairs with a direct view of Kings Bay and spot the manatees while you do it. With ample patio decks you will spend a lot of down time just taking in the view and peace. Have dinner on the top deck, the middle deck over looking the pool or ground floor. This house is beautifully appointed and the kitchen is any cooks dream.
Inside there is plenty of room for everyone to find there on special spot. A spacious open plan encourages family dining and TV watching or go and search our a corner to enjoy a book. Plenty of books to choose from. Relaxation and family time is key to the ambience we are trying to provide you as you visit the gem that is Florida;s Nature Coast.
We pretty much guarantee you will be back once you have had an opportunity to experience the lifestyle and friendliness of this special area.Please note if you have a boats and tie to seawall it is a tidal sea wall and tides can get low. Check Kings Bay tide. You will need fenders to protect and some people tie up nose in.

Carry the kayaks across the road to a custom kayak launch and paddle directly into Kings Bay with its many natural springs and plenty of interaction with nature.
We are minutes by car to the famous Three Sisters Springs where hundreds of manatees gather in the cooler months. Also close is Hunter Springs with crystal clear waters to swim in, a sandy beach, playground and kayak and paddleboard launch.
Another small beach is just a few miles down the road at Ft Island Trail.
Want to experience glass bottom boat tours or dream of swimming with the manatees? Wanna learn to scuba dive or snorkel? We have many trusted guides and teachers in the area. Other ecological boat tours leave from the beautiful Crystal River State Preserve near the thought provoking Indian Burial grounds.
How about fishing? Offshore? In shore? We have many professional Captains who will put you on them and most will do scalloping trips too
After that busy day you will want to relax poolside . It is a very large pool area completely under a screen. The pool is NOT heated
We consider ourselves blessed with the wide choices of wining and dining venues. Some can be reached by boat and others by car and definitely make a point of going downtown for First Friday of the Month (weather permitting ) where locals and visitors mingle in a relaxed atmosphere listening to live music and supporting local vendors while enjoying a beverage in hand.

Shop til you drop downtown or if you need bigger outlet stores then Lecanto and Inverness are just 15 minutes away.

Theme parks like Universal and DIsney can be reached easily in two hours. Likewise the world famous Gulf beaches at St Pete and Clearwater are about 2 hours door to beach.
If you have a special event or question please contact Annie and will will really try to be your conciege ahead of time

Host profile image
My veterinarian husband and I have owned three animal hospitals and I am a radio host and author. My early years were spent living in hotels, and that inspires me to always to provide the best in service to guests. I want your stay to be memorable for the right reasons! I am English by birth but American by choice However, I will NOT give up my love for English tea and there will always be some available for any Anglophiles. As a proud Granny I want to make a family vacation as easy as possible and can provide cribs, monitors and child utensils as well as games, books and toys for down time.
NIne years ago we came to Crystal River and fell so in love with it that we have even commuted back and forth to Orlando to work. The people are wonderful, the choices for restaurants and bars fabulous, but, most of all it's a place where you can switch the phone off, take a deep breath and get in tune with nature again.
Crystal River is now our permanent home so we are very much available if you need help with recommendations or anything else to make your stay more comfortable.
We have a love of fishing and scalloping and are happy to help find you a captain to help you catch your dinner.

Why they chose this property

It's everything that sums up Florida, family and vacation! We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it. Enjoy beautiful views and wonderful porches where you can so easily imagine yourself sipping early morning coffee while contemplating nature at it's best and most unspoiled. The inside is very open and spacious. The kitchen is a dream,and there are lots of private nooks and crannies where you can sneak away to read a book. The pool is enclosed in a modern screen room and has a cute little table in the pool to rest your beverages while in the water. The grounds simply scream tropical and are huge,fully fenced, and perfect to have an informal game of corn hole, horse shoes or volley ball. Talk into the night while sitting around the large fire pit before you enjoy a restful night ready for tomorrows adventures.
The property is very well placed to bring your boat, with a sea wall opposite as well as a close kayak launch.

What makes this property unique

Superb positioning on Kings Bay. Watch manatees from the front porch. Close to restaurants and amenities.
Just minutes away by car to the famous Three Sister and Hunter Springs you could also paddleboard or kyak in about thirty minutes.
Generally speaking if you wish to swim with the manatees you are best to go on one of the official tour boats which abound.
Two hours driving to Central Florida's attractions, Tampa or the famous Gulf Shore Beaches.
The immediate area has access to the Gulf for grouper or red snapper fishing, tarpon, snook, red fish and of course scalloping. Bear in mind there are limits and regulations on all these. There are several boat ramps within minutes and you can tie up opposite the property on a sea wall.
Go to the FWC website for details. And don't forget YOU WILL NEED A LICENCE! Also able to do this easily online at the FWC website www.myfwc.com
