Wonderful property

We had a great time staying at this house. It was clean, well stocked with everything you would need, and the view is amazing. The host was very responsive. The Vrbo app led us to the wrong address about 10 minutes away, but the host quickly gave us the right one. We would definitely recommend this property.

Family time

We had a great time with family. We spent most of our time going to the beach and the various springs. We saw many manatees, which was a real thrill. Beautiful home. I watched the sunrise from the deck every morning. Such a peaceful way to start the day.

Clean, quiet and relaxing

Four of us used the Estuary House as a hub while visiting our parents nearby. One of us is a bird nerd who loved birdwatching from the back deck. Crystal River is the place to go for manatee viewing. We also took a day trip to Sarasota for strolling along its white sandy beaches. We found the house clean, quiet and relaxing. Host responded quickly to all inquiries.

About the host

Hosted by Jason and Elizabeth Elliott

My family and I love hosting and traveling. I was born and raised in Florida and this ecosystem is truly unique. My family and I enjoy outdoor adventures, Elizabeth and I have 3 daughters and 2 sons. Our desire is to share what we love with other people because the best part of the human experience is shared moments.

Why they chose this property

We love the island community on the beautiful estuary. The views and fishing are amazing and the scallop grounds are close.

What makes this property unique

We have unparalleled views of a glorious estuary environment. Sometimes we have dolphins fishing out back, other times manatees swimming. We are a short boat ride from pristine scallop grounds and reefs.
