About the host
Hosted by Jim & Wendy Busk
We grew up and married in the Midwest, but Crystal River has been our home for the last 36 years. We often travel but there is no place like home! We live on the water and spend much of our free time on the Crystal River and Gulf of Mexico visiting Shell Island or the sailboats moored in Kings Bay, taking sunset cruises, fishing or scalloping with family and friends. We are proud of our little community which offers so much natural beauty and hospitality and love hosting guests from all over the world. Hope to meet you soon!
Why they chose this property
This property is a block away from our deeded access to a short canal that takes you right to the middle of Kings Bay. Our two rentals (main house/guest house) provide enough privacy from each other (new two-section fence partition recently constructed to give privacy), are surrounded by the tallest of trees of all kinds, birds galore and lots of shade. No houses behind, to the right or across the street and to the left is partitioned by more trees. - In other words, serene & private. We are close to the beach, downtown and all the amenities Crystal River has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Close in, yet secluded.
