Upon walking into the open living and dining area you will be drawn to the large picture window looking out to the pool and canal area. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes and utensils for a great family meal. The live edge wood dining has seating for 6 guest and an additional two bar stools at the kitchen peninsula.

Easily watch the children play in the pool or fish of the dock while staying in the shade. Feel like getting wet? Our pool is the perfect spot to cool off after a hot day or to take a warm dip in the winter. Heated (electric) in the winter months and salt chlorinated!
We provide kayaks & paddleboards for our guest to explore all the wonderful nature around Crystal River. Or try your hand at fishing right off the dock out back. You will find the charcoal grill in the shed out back.

Manatee and Dolphin come up to the dock frequently to visit. Sail-fin Catfish, Sheepshead, trout, Red Snapper, Snook and Red fish are some the fish that can be found in the area. To see or catch them for sure we recommend a tour or fish charter. Boat rentals are also available at nearby Twin Rivers Marina.

SCALLOPERS!!! We all love scalloping!! Crystal River offers one of the few remaining areas to scallop in Florida during the summer. Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US. and the best action is usually in 4-6 feet of water around Gomez Rocks at Latitude 2829.8, Longitude 8243.7. Scallop grounds are about 5-10 miles out by boat.

This home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac street in the heart of Crystal River near the springs, restaurants and the downtown area.. The home is approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, Hunter springs and 30 minutes from the Gulf of America by boat. Fort Island Beach is a 10 min drive away where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. We highly recommend it for amazing photos!
The house is only a short walk or bicycle ride from the Crystal River State Park Reserve and the Mullet Hole fishing spot.

Scallop Trip

We came in for a scalloping trip. The home was everything we needed. From the canal where we could pull the boat in to the pool to cool off in and relax for the evening, it was all perfect. Everything was clean and stocked with everything we needed

BOOK THIS HOUSE!!

This house is a great little “get away” home. Perfectly positioned around everything with short rides on the water or land. We got redirected due to Hurricane Debbie and couldn’t praise the owner and her husband for the communication and hospitality shown to us during the storm. Highly recommend booking this home.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
We enjoy scalloping, fishing or anything on the water! We also love sharing our home with all of our guest so that they may fall in love with Crystal River just the way we did so many years ago!

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly situated between the springs and fishing/ scalloping/ gulf waters. It is on a quiet culdesac in a family friendly neighborhood. Near great hiking and biking trails, boat ramp, and archaeological sites.

What makes this property unique

I can not explain the cozy at home feeling this house gives off! It is the most relaxing, calming area to be in, yet still gives you and your family that much needed reconnection.
