About this property

Waterfont Home, Heated Pool, Kayaks, and Ice Machine.

Come visit beautiful Crystal River and relax in our house. Take any of our 4 kayaks across the bay to the famous Three Sisters Springs and see the manatees. Head out to the Gulf of Mexico in your boat for some great fishing or the always popular scalloping (when in season). We have a 50' dock with a floating section for ease of launching the kayaks. There is an ice machine in the garage that produces enough ice to keep your coolers full. A heated screened-in pool for family and friends to enjoy. Our house is just a short distance to Ft. Island Gulf beach where you can sit and relax while the kids play in the water. Just past the house is access to two boat ramps. This home is fully furnished with 3 flat screen Smart TVs. There are 2 queen beds in the guest bedrooms. A king size bed in the master bedroom leaving plenty of sleeping room for everyone. For your convenience, we provide FREE wireless Internet. We have a high-efficiency washer and dryer available for your use. Linens and towels are provided for your use. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to cook with (blender, regular coffee pot, microwave, toaster). A BBQ grill is also provided for outdoor grilling.
The house is located just a short distance to a grocery store, restaurants, and shopping in historic downtown Crystal River, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, walking and bike trails, scuba diving, and swimming with the manatees.
Boat Docking and Canal:
We have a 50' dock with a small floating dock attached that leaves about 30' of dock space for 1 boat. We are in the corner of the cove, there is not enough room to tie boats side by side, so only 1 boat will fit on our dock. The canal can get shallow in spots at low tide, less than 2' during the summer months and less than that during the winter months.

You will make memories to last a lifetime here!

The house is spacious and was very clean. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. The pool was spotless and there is a nice covered patio that we thoroughly enjoyed. Its is even nicer than the photos show. I highly recommend this house.

We were all thrilled with our stay in Crystal River. The home was lovely and well appointed. The pool was in use regularly. We used the kayaks to go to Three Sisters Springs, which was delightful. The only disappointment was our lack of scallops and the boat rental. Neither of which had anything to do with our hosts or the property. Dinner at the Freezer in Homasassa Springs brought back old memories of previous trips. Thank you for allowing us to use your lovely home. Should we return to Crystal River, we wouldn’t hesitate to return to your lovely place. Bev and Family

We couldn't have asked for a better trip Mark's property is perfect for a central area to see multiple springs. We had a great time and the pool was an extra cherry on top. All that needs to be said is if your thinking about booking a trip DO IT. You won't be disappointed.

Great spot away from town. Clean and spacious. There are several kayaks to us and is a quick 30-40 minute paddle across to three sisters springs. Bay is a no wake zone which makes paddling easy and safe.
