Beautiful with all the comforts of home and more! The game room and kayaks were our favorites! Communication with the host was the best I have had! Thank you and we will be back!
Great time! The house was perfect, very clean and had everything we needed. The host was great also. His response time was almost immediate and he was very accommodating.
This was a fabulous place for our family to see the manatees in Crystal River. Plenty of kayaks provided. Large play area for the kids with foosball table and ping-pong table and lots of games for all ages. Very comfortable home with everything we needed.
Beautiful house with access to the water! We enjoyed everything about this house. Such a relaxing but active vacation scalloping and enjoying the springs!
The home was beautiful and the location was perfect! So close to town and Three sister springs. Josh the host was quick to respond, great communication. The home had everything well stocked and was very clean. Our kids really enjoyed the bonus game room and game options. It was a fun and relaxing getaway and we will be back!
We LOVED everything about our stay at the Scallop Inn!! Such a cute, clean and relaxing place. We came for the manatee festival and loved every bit of it!
Beautifully rehabbed home. Very clean. Very comfortable master bed. Kitchen fully outfitted with clean utensils and pans. Ping pong a fun plus! Kayaks right outside the back door. Best of all - Josh was always available and most accommodating - recommended some good restaurants and was most kind helping us navigate the TV. Great choice for a family.
We loved our stay! The house and backyard/waterfront space is lovely and exactly what we wanted for our family of 5. We were able to kayak to see the manatees as a family rather than having to book a tour, which allowed us to do it on our own time and without feeling too crowded. At the house, we saw alligators floating by, tons of turtles and birds, and loved meals out on the dock. Josh was super helpful and responsive leading up to the stay and during. He made sure we had everything we needed and answered multiple planning/logistics questions about how to best see the manatees. We'd love to go back!
Waterfront location - easy access to Kings Bay springs and less than 30 minutes to scalloping and fishing. owner manager is very responsive. Definitely would rent again.
The house was amazing! Super clean and had everything we needed. Loved having access to the kayaks to go paddling. Would definitely return to this house

Brought our 21ft bay boat for the first time not staying at The Plantation and was absolutely satisfied with the house and the location! Canal stayed at about 3 ft deep at dead low and the exit out was easy. Will definitely stay again
Such a perfect house for our group. Spacious, very clean, had everything one could need. The host was super responsive, and left a beautiful welcome basket. Lots of games for the kiddos and adults. Easy to dock our boat. I would recommend this place over and over.
