About this property

Relax and unwind in this unique waterfront property!

**NO Children under 12 y.o. or pets**Picture yourself on a semi-private deck, sipping a cold drink as the sun dips below the horizon and the water gently ripples below—pure serenity. This one-of-a-kind stilt home is a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath loft tucked within a quiet, charming community of just 15 duplex units.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy loft with a luxurious king bed, plus a pull-out couch on the main floor for additional sleeping space. Step out onto the back deck for peaceful canal views and easy access to the boat dock. A nearby tributary flows into the Salt River and Crystal River, only 2 miles from both the Gulf of Mexico and the natural springs.

Cool off with a dip in the pool just steps away, or enjoy a leisurely walk along the boardwalk that winds through the property, offering a unique nature experience right outside your door. Prefer the beach? A five-minute drive takes you to the public beach, and a public boat ramp is only a mile away.

The home includes convenient amenities like in-unit laundry and a fully stocked kitchen with cookware and small appliances, making it perfect for short getaways or longer stays. Nightly rentals are available (4-night minimum, or 2-night minimum during off-season), as well as weekly or monthly options.

Bringing a boat? Guests are welcome to use the dock and trailer parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note: boats must be 22 feet or shorter (including the engine), and must be secured with a rope for the dock and an anchor for the rear—no power poles permitted. Be sure to contact the host for boat-related arrangements.

For the comfort of all guests, smoking is not permitted inside the unit. Please note this property is not suitable for children under 12 and does not allow pets. Maximum occupancy is limited to 4 guests.

Experience a peaceful stay in our tranquil community, surrounded by natural beauty and warm hospitality.

Important Notice: A live-feed camera is installed on the shared deck between this unit and the adjacent one, used only to monitor the owner’s boat. The camera does not record and has no microphone.

Pack your bags—your perfect waterside retreat awaits!

The property was just perfect for the type of stay my husband and I were looking for, clean, quiet, tranquil and with views that were both relaxing and beautiful. The property was well equipped and comfortable, with all you would need. The communication with the host was excellent before and whilst we were staying there. Should I come back to visit the Crystal River area again I would definitely be booking again ! Thank you for hosting us, we had a very lovely time visiting the area which was full of wildlife and stunning scenery, a very beautiful part of Florida!

Exactly what I hoped for!!

The place was exactly what I wanted in our stay. Clean, laid back environment, not crowded, nice pool, on the water and secluded but not too far from the places we wanted to see. April had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Can’t wait to come back!!

Bungalow Life

April was very accommodating while our stay, and everything was great! The bungalow was a perfect location to visit my family who were staying at the RV park five minutes away. It is a well-stocked place to stay and everything was very clean. It is minutes from Crystal River and the ocean park!!

Work/play getaway

Was looking for a place to stay, preferably on or close to the water to get some work done and close enough to Crystal River to explore a new area for me. The rental was a very good fit for me and I was able to get a lot done. Nice area. Great hosts. A very nice stay.
