About this property

Key West style 3/2 available for rent! Deep Water Canal + Dock

One of the best houses on the river for relaxing or scalloping. You get the entire house to yourselves. You also get use of your own dock that can fit 2 boats. Peaceful and quiet with none of the boat traffic of Kings Bay. Tile floors throughout the entire home.

Key West style home located halfway between the Gulf and Kings Bay. Located on a quiet, dead end street on the deepest canal in Crystal River. NO BRIDGES TO AND FROM THE HOUSE TO THE GULF. Because it's a dead end canal and not on the main river, there's very little boat traffic compared to the busy areas which allow for a more peaceful vacation.

Easy to bring your power or sailboat right up to the dock. Less than 2 miles to nearest boat ramp. With quick access to the Gulf, it's the ideal location for fishing and scalloping! This house is located on the deepest canal with no bridges to go under, making this one of the only homes on Crystal River that you don't have to worry about the tides to make it back after being out on the river.

It is also the perfect location for watching Manatees, visiting Three Sisters Spring, or just relaxing on one of the large, breezy balconies. Minutes from Plantation Golf Club. Has large dock and two kayaks so you can leave right from the house.

House is a two bedroom (king and queen, brand new furniture), two bathroom, with a day bed and trundle (both twin beds) in a crow's nest with 360 degree views of the area. Must use the spiral staircase to access the crow's nest, may be challenging for some guests with mobility issues. Tile Floors throughout ensure cleanliness and easy cleaning. Two large balconies, one on the East and one on the West, allow for great views of the Sunrise and Sunset. BBQ on the grill. All living space is upstairs on the second floor.

Fully stocked kitchen and house with everything you need to just walk in and start your vacation. Basic linens such as bedding, bath towels and kitchen towels provided. We supply a basic stock of paper products to include paper towels and toilet paper.

Extras include:
50" Flat Screen TV
32" LED TV in guest room
Washing machine and dryer located inside on second floor

Fantastic location in Crystal River

My family had a wonderful stay at this property in crystal river. Great place just outside of town but still on a beautiful canal with easy access to Crystal River and Kings bay. Only a short trip to the marina for a boat rental, and just a few minutes to town for all the restaurants on the water!!!

Home had a strong urine smell when we arrived which was sourced to the guest bathroom. None of the TV remotes worked properly which were sourced to dead or missing batteries, The ice maker didn’t function. That being said the location was good and the property was as expected.

Great place for those who love the “Salt Life”

My grown kids and I reunited in Homosassa for a day of scalloping and came to this place afterwards to relax. It easily accommodated 6 of us and was very conducive for hanging out, grilling and catching up with each other. I loved the porches, their views and the use of kayaks to access Crystal river. A great stay!
