Ask a questionAbout Dan & Diana
We came to swim with the manatees in 1999, and never left. The Crystal River area is laid back and unhurried, which was reminiscent of our home in Southeastern Michigan. We are still associated with our charity back home which provides services for people with disabilities. We bought the home on the water so we had a place for the people we serve, and our staff to visit and enjoy the beautiful sights and activities available on the Nature Coast. Our daughter, Captain Traci has been a Manatee Tour Provider since 2000 and loves her job. Dan and Diana
Dan & Diana purchased this House in 2000
Why Dan & Diana chose Dixie Shores
The view from the backyard is one of the most beautiful you will ever find. The house is a simple three bedroom ranch which makes it comfortable and inviting. The pool makes it a blast for children of all ages. We usually stay in houses when we travel and our main concern is always cleanliness, then comfort. As such, that is always our priority with Manatee House, and we hope that you appreciate our dedication to your comfort. Our cleaning crew does a wonderful job and Dan will meet you at check in and make sure that everything is as it should be. Paula or Diana are available if an emergency occurs.
What makes this House unique
The most unique feature is our ability to fit your whole family in the house together. Makes for a fun and affordable vacation.
