About this property

Crystal River, Waterfront-Dock-Pool-Kayaks-Pets-Outdoor Kitchen-Amazing Location

Welcome to Casa Del Rio. Our professionally decorated home with a fun coastal flare is located in an upscale, private neighborhood just off Fort Island Trail in Crystal River, FL. Location is everything and Rio is only minutes to Hwy 19, Three Sister's Springs, biking and hiking trails, downtown dining, bars or shopping and Fort Island Trail Beach.

Our home has four bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, a solar heated/screened, swimming pool, large outdoor kitchen with high-end gas barbeque, Smart TV, granite counters and sink. A gourmet indoor kitchen with new commercial appliances to include ice maker, wine cooler, dishwasher and commercial grade gas stove. There's a large dock for your boat or fishing and a fenced yard for furry friends.

This is our "river house" and not just someone's rental house. We take pride in every inch of it. The furniture, beds and all appliances were new in 2025. Everything is high-end catering to sophisticated tastes, with original artwork from area artists and an eye for detail. We want you to enjoy Casa Del Rio as much as we do, and we put great effort into assuring that your stay will be enjoyed by all.

The bonus room overlooks the canal with a wet bar, sitting area and 42" Smart TV. The home has great natural flow and is designed for entertaining and dining.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES
The outdoor kitchen is a fantastic place to gather with friends - the 50" flat screen TV is great for football games or the morning news. This area also has a full sink, gas grill, granite counter tops, ceiling fans to keep the no-see-ums at bay and lighting. Sit back, have a cup of coffee and watch the morning news from this vantage point. You never know who might swim by in the canal - dolphins, manatees and an assortment of coastal birds frequent our backyard.

The large dock easily accommodates two boats, kayaks or jets skis. The canal is subject to tides but is appropriate for pontoon boats, bay boats, kayaks and low draft skiffs. It joins the bottom of Kings Bay after a scenic 10-minute boat ride at idle speed and there are no bridges to worry about. The home comes with 2 kayaks and life jackets. You can kayak to the Springs in 30 to 45 minutes depending on wind and tides. There's great fishing off the dock and manatees and dolphins frequent the canal. The area is great for kayakers, fishing and nature lovers.

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, get away - perfect for family get-togethers or a romantic interlude then look no further than Casa Del Rio!

This is our second trip to see the manatees at Crystal River and by far the best! What a beautiful home with all the bells and whistles—pool, six-burner gas range, large ice machine (plus ball ice in the freezer), outdoor kitchen, fruit trees, and more! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the home offered so many cozy nooks to spread out and relax. Located on a peaceful stretch of water, it was the perfect setting to unwind. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, the host was very responsive to questions, and the guest book made planning meals and activities effortless. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. House was perfect with plenty of space for the fam & was in a great location - short boat ride to the springs and out to Homosassa Bay for scalloping. Really liked being able to take the boat to all the waterfront restaurants that were close by too.

We stayed a full week in Crystal River at this house and couldn’t have been happier. The owners were super nice and easy to communicate with. The location of the house was great, very close to a boat ramp. The beds were comfortable, the AC was solid, the appliances were all great, no complaints at all. Pool was nice and the canal in the back was fun to fish in. Would stay here again!

Great house not so great canal

The house was absolutely beautiful. Beds were extremely comfortable. The pool came in very useful because our day was having to be scheduled around the tides. Canal is extremely shallow at low tide. Chipped the bottom of our hull. We had a deck boat so a flat boat or pontoon would probably be preferable. really close to all the great spots in Kings Bay. host is very accommodating and responsive.

Extremely expansive home with plenty of space not to bump into one another. It was centrally located. Close to restaurants and tours in town. The greatest hidden treasure was the washer and dryer. Won't say where it is! There is a small alligator in the canal. Didn't go paddling..lol! Pool was heated and wonderful to have. The highlight of the trip was the scalloping tour. My son swam for a long period against the waves to gather the scallops cooked by a resturant.Manatee swim was disappointing. Murky water..bumped into one! The only recoomendation was the need for more condiments and seasonings to cook. Excellent place.

We stayed here for our annual friends and family scalloping trip. We brought our 23' Tri-toon. The canal was very shallow at low tide, but the owner gave us instructions on how to come and go so we wouldn't damage anything. Check in was seamless. Teri was very responsive and tried to accommodate us because we arrived earlier than expected. The house was great. Everything was clean. Whatever we needed we had available to us. The pool was fantastic to cool off in the afternoon after a day on the water scalloping. The kitchen was giant, and had anything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. The dock was perfect for our boat, and the fish cleaning area was huge! We also loved the outdoor kitchen area and the grill. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone, and we will most likely stay here again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Teri Burns

Host profile image
We are two couples who purchased our first property together just up the street from Casa Del Rio (River House) and affectionately named it Casa Del Sol (House of the Sun) in 2015. Having enjoyed our first house, we decided to purchase a second home with the hopes that we would one day retire to Crystal River and have separate homes within walking distance of each other. In the Spring of 2016, we purchased Casa Del Rio and since that time, we have successfully shared both homes with families like our own - people that love nature, getting away from the hustle of daily life and know the importance of family and friends. Through the years, we have definitely experienced ups and downs including two hurricanes that flooded both houses. Although difficult to endure, both times we were able to remodel, update and come back better than before. The homes are our labor of love, that having reached retirement age, we hope to share and enjoy for many, many more years.

Why they chose this property

Casa Del Rio is perfectly located mid-way to Manatee viewing at Three Sister's Springs or World Class Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Nature lovers will enjoy the tranquil, private setting and lush tropical yard. The home is upscale, peaceful and everything is top notch. It's a neighborhood of million-dollar homes and is perfect for walking, jogging or bicycling. If you are looking for mornings fishing, afternoons kayaking or playing with the kids in the pool, evenings entertaining in the outdoor kitchen, and a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere then look no further than Casa Del Rio.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Rio is just 4 houses from our sister home - Casa Del Sol - VRBO #691163. Rent both homes for family get-togethers or reunions. Enjoy Casa Del Sol's fun, up-beat, Mediterranean atmosphere, screened pool and deep-water dock one day and Casa Del Rio's sophisticated, coastal atmosphere, outdoor kitchen and beautiful canal setting the next day. It's the best of both worlds within walking distance.
