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 TVs with cable. 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, 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!

Great location great house

This is the third or fourth time I have stayed at this property, I love it because of the location, You can pop your kayaks right in the canal or you can easily drive to other places. The house is well stocked and very clean.

Lovely house in beautiful setting

The house was spacious and well stocked with everything we needed. The cookware in the kitchen was great and it was nice that there were some basic spices to use. We didn't get around to using the kayaks, but they were in excellent condition. The pool was lovely. Mark was very prompt with responding to any questions. Beautiful house, would definitely recommend staying here if you're exploring the area.

Wonderful!

This place was perfect! Clean with all the amenities. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Loved being on the river so we could kayak to three sisters. The pool was amazing after a hot day on the river. Mike was available to answer our questions when needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house in great location

The house was wonderful. Great location on the canal, and the pool was amazing. Everything we needed was at the house, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Some people have said that the driveway can be hard to get out of, but we found that if there was no one on the road when you arrived, backing in made it extremely easy to leave. We love it and look forward to coming back.

Weather was terrible, even with that we were able to enjoy the visit. Nice big windows and doors that had to stay closed due to cold, but it felt like we were outside. Have already booked for next year.

Fall trip with friends

We truly enjoyed our stay from the ease of access to the use of the kayaks. It was so easy to connect with Mark prior to our trip and I loved his quick response. The home had everything we needed and more. We especially loved sitting out of the patio with the pool and canal right there. In the evening we were minutes to the beach to view the lovely sunsets. We rate his home extremely high for location and comfort plus all of the activities to do. We would absolutely go back again. It was wonderful!!!

Great place for the whole family

My wife and I stayed here but realized that with all of the bedrooms and multiple dining tables this would be a great place for a family reunion! Beautiful property, beautiful location. One issue was the busy main road - the noise didn’t bother us too much, but pulling out of the driveway was challenging! After staying a week we had still not quite figured out how to get out of the driveway safely….it doesn’t help that people rarely obey the posted speed limit! Everything else was great!

A great property with a few issues

This property has every amenity you could want in a waterfront property in Crystal River with only a few drawbacks. The property itself is great with an open floor plan perfect for relaxing. The beds were super comfortable with nice bedding. Plenty of towels, kitchen extras, washer/dryer and best of all an ICE MAKER! They even had kayaks but we did not use them. The heated 86 degree pool was nice after the 75 degree springs. The screened back patio was large and kept the bugs away. The property is located on a main road to the boat ramps so loud trucks constantly drive by with a few "racers" at 2am even though it is 35 mph. I am a heavy sleeper but the noise is something to note. Also pulling out onto the road and into the property with the boat trailer is difficult. The canal to the property is extremely shallow at low tide and anything with a draw of over 1ft would not make it during that time. Be care as there was always a manatee in canal and we had to wait for him to move so we could drive by. The tide swing is also 2+ ft so the fact you cannot use the floating dock due to the neighbors boat, ensure you do not get caught under or on top of the stationary dock. Overall the property's location to town by car and to the springs by boat/kayak is great and we would stay here again.
