We really enjoyed our stay here. The upstairs part of the house was a good size for the three of us. We didn't need to use the downstairs bedroom, but it would be a good room for kids. We were able to cook breakfast in the morning and fresh seafood dinners several nights in the kitchen. It was pleasant to sit out on the deck in the early morning and evening. It rained a lot, so it was great to have a place to sit outside under the covered area behind the dock. The neighborhood is very quiet. The house is conveniently located to restaurants, the excursions we booked at Pete's Pier and downtown Crystal River, and to the Homosassa Springs area. The owner responded quickly and effectively to our requests. There is a lot to see and do in the Crystal River area, and this was a good home base!

My first impression was that the home was even more beautiful in person. So many places to sit and socialize in a relatively small home. We loved the sun room with wraparound view and the Adirondack chairs in the shaded breezeway outside. Highlights included watching a manatee swim up to the dock on our second day and kayaking out to Kings Bay and spotting manatees with the complimentary use of the provided kayaks on our third day. A perfect stay!

Excellent location on Kings Bay Crystal River centrally located to all amenities and storefronts. We offer kayaks to tour the bay and see manatees up close. We have golf cart rentals in walking distance of the home and since we are a golf cart friendly town, you can ride to the shops and eateries by cart as well as Hunter's Spring and Three Sister's Manatee viewing preserve! See the map to see all Crystal River has to offer!!
