Beautiful place with an amazing view. Conveniently located. Highly recommend this place for your stay in Crystal River. We plan on coming back again soon!
We had an excellent stay. The house was clean with all the amenities advertised. The location is beautiful. We watched manatees play in the water every morning and had a fantastic view of the sunset in the evening.

The View. the View. The VIEW! This is an incredible property. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and reclining souches. And did I mention the view? Just don't forget to bring your own shampoo and soap! Would love to stay here again.
