Dani was wonderful with communication and helpful to anything you could need. Property was exactly as described and very cozy/convenient. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.
The house was fantastic! Location was central to everything and the host was nothing short of phenomenal to communicate and deal with. Highly recommend this house during manatee season!
This was the perfect house for our group! We came to go scalloping, and we trailered a 28 foot boat. The location is perfect and the house is very large, clean, comfortably decorated and FULLY stocked. We would gladly book again, any time of the year.
Great house four our group of 9 and a couple of pups! Close to everything in town, easy paddle to all of the springs, well equiped kitchen, comfy beds, manatees in the back yard, etc. Had a great week and would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time being together with family members from various parts of the country. The home was spacious, clean, and well-stocked with coffee and other needed essentials.
This house was perfect for 4 adults - comfortable king size beds in 2 of the rooms. Loved sitting on the back patio watching boats and kayaks. The ping pong table was fun to play also.
We stayed here for memorial day weekend. The place is much bigger than the pictures show. We were very impressed & plan to book again. Ice maker out back is a huge win. Also, the spare propane tank in the garage came in handy when the other on the grill ran out. Filet table out back was great.
Loved being so close to all the action on the canal. House was spacious and nice—we loved the huge ice maker and being able to dock the boat right out back. Plenty of parking!
The house is fully equipped for a great vacation. The location is central to everything you need. The weather didn’t cooperate but we made the best of it.
Great house in the perfect location. We had 11 people in the house and there is plenty of room to have your own space. Well equipped with everything you need. The ice machine is a life saver. The only bad news is the house is already booked for the dates we wanted next year

I'm so glad you had a great stay! What dates do you want and lets see what we can do!
Property manager, Dani, did a great job. We could find everything we needed during our stay. Location is superb, we were kayaking almost every day. Property was super clean when we arrived.
Really enjoyed it!
Great place to relax with my family over Spring Break. My two daughter's also brought friends and there was plenty of room. The owners were so nice and we had the best time kayaking around Crystal River and relaxing around the housePO y see
We thoroughly enjoyed our New Year's stay in Crystal River! The location is unbeatable for anyone looking to be close to the manatee action. The house features a private dock, and while we didn't take advantage of it, you could easily paddle a kayak directly to the springs.Our kids loved hanging out by the canal in the back, fishing and watching the adventure pontoon boats head out each day. It’s worth noting that the canal gets active early, with some engine starts around 5:30 AM, but it adds to the "fishing village" charm of the area.The property is tucked away at the end of a dead-end street, so there was almost no traffic, making it feel very quiet and safe. We did have a minor issue with the neighbor’s dogs barking, but the host was incredibly responsive. They put us in touch with the neighbors (who were very nice!) and even provided a bark control device that solved the problem.Overall, a great, secure spot for a family getaway. We’d definitely stay here again!
Great spot to stay and dock boat. Easy access to waterways for a great day of fishing or scalloping. Everything is here for a wonderful stay. Hosts are warm, responsive and thought of everything to ensure home is perfectly equipped. A great choice for our long weekend with friends.
Amazing! Easy access. Superb location! We swam right off the dock in the canal. Morning & evening manatee sightings from the screened in back patio. Garage was a bonus. Cycling distance to so much! And delivery services were quick!
