Had a wonderful time at this perfect Crystal River getaway! Owners were super prompt with replies and very helpful answering questions! The home was super clean and had everything we needed. When we checked in we were greeted with fresh baked cookies and homemade dog treats for our pup. Our daughters loved the bunk beds in the second bedroom! Also was very convenient to get in and out of the water with their boat life and dock! We will most definitely be coming back!!!!!

We loved staying here and everything was as described. House is done really nice, yard well cared for. Great communication and easy to deal with. Right on the water with a boat lift and dock. Location was perfect for everything on the water, boat ramp 5 minutes from location and many good restaurants within 15 min by car or boat. We recommend and will stay again. Thanks

Our family of 4 stayed here in May 2024. We will definitely be returning! The house was immaculatley clean and had everything that we could have possibly needed. Plenty of room for more than 4 people. The dock had plenty of space for our 25 foot boat and the lift was great. It is located just minutes away from some great restaurants and its a quick boat ride to get offshore. The owners were always super easy to get in touch with should we need anything. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home, we will be booking again!

pontoon boat getaway

The property is very clean and has great AC. It is a mobile home, which is not in the details. And says pet friendly, but does not say there will be an extra pet fee in the details. Otherwise, great location for boating to the springs and restaurants. Great boat dock and outside sitting area. The property manager replies very quickly.

Fantastic on water house

Had a wonderful time but unfortunately cut short by hurricane Debby. Great loacation with a dock short distance from the boat ramp. Easy access to the gulf of mexico. Very clean and very well stocked kitchen, linens and even beach towels. Extremely cold Air Conditioning..nice touch was the note and cookies that greeted us..My granddaughter accidentally left her favorite stuffed animal and the owners went out of their way to meet us and get it back to her. Definitely a great place to stay..and I will try to stay there again

Clean and cozy cottage

We had a great time at this rental! The house was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, including foil, ziplock bags, paper plates, paper towels, etc. which was awesome. The lift was perfect for our 24’ boat. Short ride out to gulf or into town and the springs. The bed was very comfortable memory foam, which is huge for me! Bathroom had shampoo, bug spray, etc. The housekeeper left us homemade cookies and even brought by a homemade birthday cake because she heard we were both celebrating our birthdays. One of my favorite VRBO’s. Would stay here again for sure. Thank you!!

We booked this house last minute for a staycation with friends and our families. It was amazing; from the owners to the cleaning crew and everything in between! It was just as described, if not better! We scalloped in the morning and went to the springs in the afternoon. The boat ramp isn’t far from the house and it was convenient to be able to just jump right in the boat from the house and go! 10 out of 10, highly recommend! We had 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids and there was enough room for all! We will definitely be booking again.

Adorable house in Crystal River on the water!

This was a great location in Crystal River, it was a clean house with plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, extra seasonings for food, laundry detergent, and extra shampoo/conditioner. Outside it had a grill, boat lift, dock, and scallop/fish cleaning station. I stayed here with my parents and husband and we really enjoyed the house. It had an owners manual outlining everything we would need to know about the house and recommendations for food and activities to do in the area. The beds were comfortable and both bedrooms had a floor fan, individual AC, and ceiling fans. This house in total could sleep 8-10 people. There is a king bed, queen bed, bunk beds, a trundle bed in the living room and a spacious couch. The owners had great communication and the housekeeper left homemade cookies for our stay that were delicious. I would highly recommend staying here!

Sportsman’s Dream location.

Property was beyond clean and over the top stocked. Boat ramp was just down the street and the floating deck and outside deck area are all new and well kept. Car parking was covered. Dishes, pots, pans etc were in new condition and well stocked. If you want to walk in and catch up on rest a relaxation or go chase fish or scallops this is the place. Owner was easy to talk with and a fantastic host. We travel and rent often…10/10 rated.
