Great VRBO

The VRBO was clean, easy to find, and very comfortable. The host communicated quickly and the check in and check out instructions were simple to follow. All and all one of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed at.

Perfect stay

Can’t emphasize how good this location is. This home is a couple blocks from the Three Sisters springs and many great restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The deck allows you to kayak right from the home and the fishing is amazing! Highly recommend!!

Comfortable, relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our time at Deb’s house! The kayaks & stand up paddle board were great, and most of the swim with manatee tours congregate a fairly short distance from the house. It was super easy to paddle out there, and we saw more manatees exploring on our own than we did on the group tour with River Ventures. We even saw a manatee right off the house dock one night! The house has lots of comfortable areas to relax, and TONS of towels. I highly recommend this property.

Land's End

I have been coming to this area for a number of years and this was my best stay EVER. This home is stunning and feels bright and airy. Everything you need from the kitchen to the outdoor amenities is complete and top quality. The views and design of the space allows for everyone to enjoy their time without being on top of each other. The neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful. Of course the manatees under the dock are very special! Tailor and Deb are excellent hosts responding to texts immediately with solutions or information. They went out of their way to accommodate my grand baby who loved the house too! I highly recommend this property.

We used the kayaks everyday and enjoyed being so close to everything.Deb was amazing with her communication! I didn't have any questions because she covered everything in her emails.

Lovely, special spot

Charming cottage in a quiet neighborhood, right on a canal with direct access to Kings Bay. My sisters and I spent 4 days here on a manatee trip and really enjoyed our stay. Paddle right off the dock. Large outdoor seating area by the water. Comfortable accommodations with every thing we needed. Saw manatees right off the dock every day of our trip. We would stay here again — I was sad to leave!

Perfect Thanksgiving

This property was amazing. We had a wonderful time exploring the waterways in the provided kayaks. The house and surroundings were pristine. We spent most of our time sitting at the large table by the water and in the evening by the fire pit. The house was just the right size and space for us all.Very clean and plenty of stocked items.

Amazing short stay at this exceptionally clean, cute property. The host was great at communicating with us and anticipating our needs. Left out extra blankets and checked to be sure we knew how to work the heat. We saw tons of manatee at nearby springs and right out of the canal while kayaking. Even caught the Christmas boat parade. heat since heat simce

About the host

Hosted by Deb Burbank

I love our small town! From fishing to manatee tours...you name it, Crystal River is a nature lover's paradise. Reach out if you'd like to know how we use our golf cart to visit downtown and see the area from a fun perspective!

Why they chose this property

Excellent location on Kings Bay Crystal River centrally located to all amenities and storefronts. We offer kayaks to tour the bay and see manatees up close. We have golf cart rentals in walking distance of the home and since we are a golf cart friendly town, you can ride to the shops and eateries by cart as well as Hunter's Spring and Three Sister's Manatee viewing preserve! See the map to see all Crystal River has to offer!!

What makes this property unique

We have a few sleeping options but the max is 6 people. We make guest experience a priority. We live in the area and can assist guests when needs arise. We want you to love Crystal River as much as we do!
