Take a dip in the screened in saltwater heated pool anytime of day. Bistro lights across pool makes for a perfect ambiance to enjoy swimming, grilling at night with the family. You will love the convince of docking your boat and having your own private pool all right outside.

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. The guest bedroom has two full/ double beds and the master bedroom has a king size bed. Our den contains a twin over twin trundle bed, perfectly suited for children. (Den area has no door). Wi-Fi and basic cable TV are included. All bedrooms, den and enclosed patio have smart TV's. A hall bath and master en suite round out the spaces in the home.

An inviting enclosed patio with comfortable patio furniture and a smart TV is the perfect space for a morning coffee or afternoon drink. 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.
There is also a finished-in garage with access to the washer and dryer, and there is plenty of room in the driveway for two vehicles and a boat trailer. Please note, there is no parking in the garage, grass, or street.

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.

Best Rental in Crystal River!

Spent the week of 4th of July here with my husband and our teenage kids. First, let me say that this is probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! Every detail is very well thought out, the home was stocked with everything you needed, the beds were very comfortable and there was a smart TV in every room. The back porch/lanai area was so cozy and great for watching our kids splash in the pool and relaxing in the evenings. The location is great and just a short ride from anything you could need in Crystal River and a short boat ride out to the golf. All of Melissa‘s communication was very clear and she was very helpful if we ever had a question or an issue. I cannot recommend this place enough!

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.
