CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tons of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If you want to kick back and relaxing by the pool, play with Manatees, take morning strolls along the river, kayak or limit out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. Our upscale neighborhood consists of several small islands just off the main river. For kayakers, we are a 30-minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide two kayaks for your use and there are rental shops within a few miles of the home. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel or gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock that will accommodate two small boats or one large. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minutes of the house. By car, we are located just off Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

In 2025, our home received an extensive remodel after Hurricane Helene. We went for a fun, upbeat Boho Chic vibe with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of crimson and teal. The home is filled with artwork from the Crystal River area creating a unique perspective on coastal living. The home boasts four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and a Queen) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aid kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it, and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our vacation. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight-seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from your stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

About the host

Hosted by Janice Geeding and Teri Burns

Host profile image
Where would we ever begin to tell someone our story. The truth be told, we are two couples, in our "golden years", who simply decided to go in together to invest in a property that we could provide for other's enjoyment and occasionally sneak away from our busy lives to enjoy ourselves. Thus began our search for a vacation rental. Having fallen in love with the Crystal River area, it looked like a perfect place for our vacation rental adventure to unfold. So, in February of 2015, we began a quest to find a home that would meet our needs as well as the needs of our guests.

Knowing the value of a great location, the property had to be well situated just of the main channel in Crystal River. It also had to have a pool, at least three bedrooms, a dock and a garage. We believe we found the perfect home with Casa Del Sol. With a little finesse and our special attention to detail, we knew it would not only meet our requirements but exceed them. From the moment you walk into your vacation rental, it is our sincere desire that you feel this way too. We hope you visit often and enjoy your stay at Casa Del Sol!

Why they chose this property

Location is everything at Crystal River and this home is perfectly situated - close to everything Crystal River has to offer - just off the main channel with good water and no bridges to either the Gulf or Kings Bay. It is located half-way between the gulf and the restaurants and Springs. It will complete your check off list of wants. It offers: Four Fishing Kayaks. A 24-foot dock which easily accommodates two boats and a fish cleaning station with running water. Everything is new, clean and bright with a fun tropical flair. Wildlife is abundant - with Manatees right at our dock. The neighborhood is safe, clean and quiet. A great area for evening and morning walks or bike riding.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Sol is just 5 houses from our other home - Casa Del Rio - VRBO #902267. Rent both homes for family get-togethers and reunions. Enjoy Casa Del Sol's fun, boho chic vibe, screened pool and deep-water dock one day and Casa Del Rio's sophisticated, relaxing atmosphere, outdoor kitchen and beautiful canal setting the next day. It's the best of both worlds.
