About this property

3/2 HEATED POOL HOME ON DEEP WATER CANAL

*The River Bungalow* - a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home on a deep water canal. A home with a large, heated, screened saltwater pool. Very comfortable house with a well stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor space, both inside and outside of the screen enclosure, to enjoy. Fun fishing right from the dock!

Home is well appointed. The kitchen is stocked for your visit with plenty to use.

The primary bedroom has a comfortable king bed, closet space for storage, separate bathroom with a shower, and a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows. This room has a door that leads to the backyard and pool area.

The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet, and a smart TV for streaming.

The second bathroom has a large vanity, tub/shower combo, and a toilet. It is located across from the second bedroom.

The third bedroom has a bunk - a full bed over a queen bed. A smart TV is also in this room. This room has a private door that leads to the screened-in pool area.

The living room has a large sectional couch, a recliner, and a large smart TV for streaming your favorite shows/movies. There is one small step down to the living room area. The living room has a view to the pool area with a sliding glass door that leads out to the screen enclosure area.

The large screen enclosed pool area is the best spot to relax. There is a roof the length of the first section, meaning even when it is raining or the sun is intense you can enjoy this area. This covered area has a dining table to enjoy outdoor meals at, and a set of chairs to enjoy around some lounging at. These areas provide spots to relax while watching the kids in the pool, talking with friends, or grilling your catch from the day.

Kayaks are available for use, as well as bicycles in the garage. If you love fishing, our location will suit your needs. The home is located on a deeper canal with Gulf access. A dock provides access to the water. You are welcome to bring your boat, there is a public boat launch for a small fee just one mile away. Local businesses also offer boats for rent. Great fishing is not far away, manatee viewing, and scalloping when it is in season!

There is a heater on the pool for a small extra charge. It will keep the pool a nice enjoyable temperature. We do accept pets to stay with you at The River Bungalow - up to two well behaved, house-trained pets are allowed for a pet fee. When booking, be sure to indicate if you will be bringing your pet.

Policy Reminders:
-We do NOT allow any events, parties or large gatherings at our location.
-Must be at least 25 years old to book
-No smoking/vaping inside the home and no smoking on the enclosed pool area
-Please respect quiet hours
-Parking in driveway only, no parking on grass areas or in the garage
-If you plan to bring your boat, space for one boat only at dock
-Pet friendly with fee
-This property features 1 exterior security camera facing the yard/driveway in the front of the home. The camera is outward facing only and for safety of the home.

We highly recommend purchasing trip/travel insurance when booking, especially during seasons where the weather can be unpredictable.

Location: Crystal River is a year round destination with great fishing. Manatees can be viewed in the winter and scalloping is available in the summer. Fabulous fishing just a short boat ride away to the Gulf. The home is close to Crystal River Archaeological State Park. There are also great golf courses nearby. We encourage you to come to relax and/or adventure while you enjoy the river life and make buckets of memories at The River Bungalow!

Annual Family/Friend Scallop Trip

AMAZING Family Friendly house with pool, boat dock, and boat access to the bay. House well decorated and very clean. Great kitchen for cooking at home and grilling out. Plenty of room for family and friends-3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. Owner is so polite and very responsive to my questions. Dead end street, very quiet neighborhood and neighbors are chill. 100% will return.

Family get away

We loved the home. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. The kids loved the pool. We ate all meals outside. We rode bikes to the archeological center just around the corner, we kayaked and saw an alligator and a turtle. If we ever head that way again we would choose this home.

Great Family Home with Crystal River Access

This was a great place to stay for our family of 4. We were super pleased with the home. It was comfy, with soft linens, blankets and towels - but it was the other little kid friendly details that made it such a wonderful place to stay for our family. From tons of pool towels, kayaks, crab trap and bikes outside to games and puzzles, and finally Disney+ access inside - it was truly kid friendly and made for an enjoyable stay. Home was clean and a great overall experience for us. We never needed to call the owner - everything was perfect!

Great place

We arrived about 6 weeks after Helene hit. Most places had at least 3' of water in them. Many nearby homes were still being remodeled. This home was spotless. Likely the cleanest rental I've ever used. Everything was as according to the listing. Excellent location. Great communication with host.

True River gem

This house has everything you could need for a fun filled vacation on the river! Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, good quality bikes/kayaks, life jackets, pool floats, pool Towels, heated pool and so much more! Vanessa was quick to answer all of our questions and had many “extras” in the home! We even asked if she had any other properties because she was that great of a host! Don’t hesitate on this gem!

Wonderful weekend!

We thoroughly our long weekend at The River Bungalow! We were slightly concerned when we arrived as the AC wasn't working. We contacted Vanessa and Kirk, got an immediant response and within less than 2 hours a service tech had arrived and fixed the problem with the AC! The rest of our visit was wonderful! The house was clean and comfortable. We come to Crystal River every fall for a mini vaca and this was amoung one of the nicer homes we've rented! Thnaks Vanessa and Kirk for a lovely weekend!
