Hidden Gem in Crystal River

My husband and I planned a getaway to Crystal River, and I found the perfect getaway for us!! This little hidden gem is awesome!! We both love nature, and this beautiful spot has become our new favorite area. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable, and Wade and April were wonderful to us. We highly recommend this little hidden gem for a back to nature and romantic getaway.

Nice little getaway for our anniversary! Hard to sit outside with all the noseeums “sand gnats” that eat you alive. We did buy citronella candles that we left on deck if it may help! Quiet, and peaceful place! Owner was great with communication! Enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by April Sumner

Wade and April split their time between the river life, hunting, and driving their jeeps off road. When they want to decompress from work and other activities they come home to Sawgrass Landing for rest and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

This property has so much to offer with access to the Twin Rivers, a marina and public boat launch are just steps away, and a community of regulars that welcome everyone as friends. Read the reviews of any of the VRBO listed properties and you will see the common thread....a friendly, quiet oasis!

What makes this property unique

Did you ever go to camp as a kid? This unique property is in a camp like setting, with a boardwalk connecting the buildings, while maintaining the natural, old Florida hammock setting. This area of Florida is preserved and unlike the hustle and bustle of the coastline to the south. If you love nature you will love this property.
