About this property

Peaceful Waterfront Home on Large Open Canal, Dog Friendly!

Crystal River is the place to be if you love nature, fishing, scalloping, boating, manatees and a small town vibe. This quaint home is right on the water just off of King's Bay. You'll love the wildlife! See manatees as they swim around enjoying the big secluded canal right behind the house and dolphins churning up the water as they fish. Enter the water right from the steps in the backyard to kayak or for a refreshing swim. It’s truly a kayaker’s paradise! The protected area across the water makes for a peaceful and quiet stay. You can keep your shallow water boat at the small floating dock or use the various boat ramps close by to launch a bigger boat. The canal leads straight out to King's Bay and out to the Gulf for great fishing and scalloping. Fort Island Gulf beach and fishing pier is just 8 miles down the road as well. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, board games, kayaks, bicycles, comfy beds and fun, artsy decor.

About the host

Host profile image
I lived in Crystal River in that house for over 20 years. I adore that location and I know you'll love it too! I currently live in the Kissimmee/Orlando area with my boyfriend, our Golden Retriever Daisy, and our cow Lucy.

Why they chose this property

This house was originally built by my Grandparents and I spent many summers fishing, boating, crabbing, and swimming there as a kid. I moved to the house in 2000 and raised my 2 daughters there who also enjoyed the river life. It's a gem!

What makes this property unique

One of the coolest things about this home is that you have so much wildlife right out the back door! Manatees, dolphins, fish and water birds are some of the natural delights you'll encounter. It's protected across the water from the house so there are no buildings to distract from the peace and beauty as you sit on the back porch and relax after a day of boating or kayaking.

If you have a small, flat bottom boat you can keep it right on the dock and have it to use as you step right out the back door. Make sure you follow the tides closely however, because there are rocks back there at low tide. If you have a bigger boat there are public boat ramps within minutes from the house. Travel down the road, launch your boat and be out in the Gulf before you know it. Scallop season is big in Crystal River and you could be heading home with a bucket of fresh caught scallops to grill on the back porch.

Downtown Crystal River has some cute shops and delicious restaurants if you decide to take a break from the water or just want to grab a bite to eat before driving down to Fort Island Trail beach to watch the sunset.
