Stayed a full week at this property. Truly enjoyed our time. We put our boat in on day one and had it tied to the dock the rest of the week for easy access. The property was clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals everyday. Suggested items to bring for your stay includes bagged ice, water, and bug spray.

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to host you again. Thank you for taking the time to put in a review.
This house was a wonderful place to stay. It was very quiet and peaceful. Even when we saw people, there was little noise. We did a puzzle, played some games, took the kayaks out, tried to fish from the dock, read books, and took naps. There is a small beach nearby that has sand and the water is quiet - no waves. The local town is ok, but the people are nice. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the setting is perfect. The house is beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything you need and the house was super clean. We would absolutely stay here again!

From the owner: "Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I do not know if you have ever seen the springs, but they are beautiful. You can often see manatees in the springs, especially in the winter. We look forward to hosting you again."
One of our favorite VRBO's. Hubby, son (21) and I planned a last-minute trip and were so fortunate this was available. Quaint, adorable and relaxing. The pics are true to experience.Quiet neighborhood, canal is stellar, we even saw a manatee further down the canal!! Came across an alligator crossing the road on way to the beach. This place is little off the main area of Crystal River attractions but was so peaceful. Bonus: downstairs bedroom with bathroom gave our young adult son a great space when he had enough family activities

GREAT PLACE! Will definitely stay there again
Great experience! When you walk in it feels like home. Everything we needed was furnished including in the kitchen for cooking. It has a screened in back porch overlooking canal which we enjoyed using. Even saw some fish jumping in the water. Outside seating by the canal and dock. Very peaceful and quiet. Close to a lot of restaurants, mom and pop eating places, coffee shops, and fun things to do. There are hiking and biking trails close by. The check in and checkout instructions were clear and easy. Everyone was great to work with.We will definitely be going back and staying there again.
