We had a wonderful stay at Shenanigans Hideaway. The house was exactly as expected- charmingly decorated, cozy, and met all of our needs. We had a great time using the paddleboards and kayaks, and loved lounging in the pool after time on the river. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone else looking for a place in Crystal River!

Our family truly enjoyed the perfectly heated pool, the layout of the home, the dock to launch our kayaks and the kayaks that were provided, etc. One of our absolute favorite spring breaks so far.

We had a wonderful stay at Shenanigans Hideaway! The hosts were incredibly communicative, responsive, and helpful throughout our trip, which made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The home was spotless when we arrived, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. It easily accommodated our large group with plenty of comfortable sleeping space for everyone.The pool is fantastic! A must for this summer heat. Plenty of towels! The location was another huge plus. It was close to the river for easy access (about 10-15 min idle out) yet tucked back far enough that our son could safely enjoy kayaking (which they provided) through the canals, which became one of the highlights of his time on our trip. Idling out we saw turtle, dolphins, gators and fiddler crabs! He caught bass, crabs and snook in the canals. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely stay here again.

Wow this house had everything warm pool, kayaks, a large paddle board, kitchen fully stocked with measuring cups, blender, gas fire pits, 4 twin mattress and a blow up. Smart mirrors and other gadgets. Dining room was bigger than the pictures. We loved kayaking into the different canals so many turtles! It was hard to leave the house to get out and explore.

The property was awesome. The house layout was really nice and functional. The hosts thought of everything with the place. Everyone had a great time and we caught our scallop limit. I would say the house feels a lot bigger in person than the photos. Of your looking for a vacation rental hands down rent this house.
