Julie, our host, was exceptionally helpful throughout our visit. Her house was comfortable and so welcoming. After a chilly morning with the manatees, a soak in the hot tub was exactly where we needed to be. Close proximity to everything and we loved that we could run down to the beach to catch the sunset. We’ll definitely be back next year!

Enjoyed Family Time

It was a great stay with our family. The house has beautiful views and we loved how it truly had everything you need. I will say the only down fall about it is that it is not technically 4 bedrooms meaning that you do not have privacy like a bedroom however there is plenty of space for everyone to sleep.

Amazing

We have been coming to crystal river for 8 years now around the same time of the year for scalloping season. This is one of the best kept houses we have stayed at, equipped with everything you need! Just bring your groceries. The view was quiet and beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet and friendly! The property manager exceeded our expectations, she was easy to work with and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property!

Scalloping vacation 2024

We recently spent a week scalloping at Crystal River. This house was perfect. The home was very nice and clean. Julie was easy to communicate with and helped us out with anything we might need. She has a dock at the end of the cul-de-sac (just a few steps down the street) that we kept our boat docked -that was very convenient not to have to load/unload the boat everyday. Would recommend and hope to be back in the future!

Wonderful vacation home!

We had a wonderful stay for the start of scallop season at the Manatee House! We found the property and accommodations to be just as described start to finish! Dawn, the host, was a great communicator throughout our stay, which was particularly helpful as we happened to have a hurricane blow through during our stay! The beds were comfortable, the dock was spacious and the kids (ok, adults too) loved the pool/hot tub! We really appreciated the bonus space the house had to offer with the screened in garage. We had a fantastic stay and are already talking about when we can go back!

A really great time!

Top level: We would absolutely stay here again and we had a fantastic time. The house was well appointed--great features, great furnishings, and great layout. There were a couple of things that weren't ideal. The hot tub was not working when we stayed so that was a big disappointment. Also the fire pit/coffee table on the porch doesn't work so it's only the regular one in the back yard (however they had that one all set up with wood for us in advance which was so awesome!). And I will say the cameras were a little off-putting. They are not upstairs and I appreciated the ones pointing to the driveway and the dock, but there was one pointing at the pool and then also one pointed at the downstairs sitting area in the garage space. Both of those felt strange, having cameras on my family as we played in the pool and watched TV in that space. Outside of those, I have nothing else I could find fault with. Dawn was a pleasure to work with. They left flowers and chocolate for us on arrival (we stayed over Easter). The house was very clean and everything worked like the sinks, showers, washer/dryer, recliner, etc. The pool was AWESOME and my kids still ask if we can go back to Crystal River and "the pool house." We also enjoyed having the kayak available for use so that was much appreciated. I really can't say enough good things about our trip. I highly recommend this place and very much hope to come back!.

Hey Megan! Thank you so very much for your 5 star review at the Manatee House in Crystal River Florida! We love this property on the River and we wanted our guests to love this property as much as we do. Looks like we accomplished our goal! We wanted to address the 3 things you didn’t find quite right. 1.) The Fire Table upstairs. It stopped working but was a great coffee table so we left it there. We do have a fire pit in the backyard on the canal that is enjoyable to sit by in the evenings. 2.) The Hot Tub for not being hot. The pool is brand new and the pool installer had parts on back order with Pentair. We just got everything in and working so please come back. It works great now and is ready for Memorial Day weekend 2021. 3.) The outside camera on the pool. It’s not really on the pool. It’s on the pool equipment. We are a couple of working folks and we won’t be watching the CCTV . We have a video check in and out and we will review video if something is reported that needs reviewed. Again, we are so happy that you gave use the best review possible and we strive to make every guest’s experience 5 Star. Please come back soon! The Manatee House Team.

Family Getaway

The property is exactly as described. Our grandsons got to see an alligator and lots of little 🦀. We had a great time at the Fort Island Beach and also got some Redfishing in. The springs were very pretty although very busy on the weekend. Had a great time visiting the shops in downtown Crystal River with my daughter in-law and going to the Cattle Dog for great Lattes and lunch. Don't miss out on going to the Seafood Cellar and Cafe for at least one meal; great seafood and service!
