We had a great stay ! Property has everything you need with kayaks as well . The bench outside on the water was a great place to just chill in the evenings . Vicki was very pro-active and the little extras in the house (like eco friendly shampoos and extra ice in the freezer ) really made a good stay a great stay . Would highly recommend to anyone . Thanks Vicki

The property was very clean and organized. My son enjoyed fishing from the yard. Close to Three Sisters and Hunter Springs. The kayaks, fishing rods and bikes were a great bonus. I also enjoyed the record player and basic assortment of spices. I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was fantastic! The rental was stocked with everything we needed while we were there. The backyard is so peaceful and felt like a real retreat. The house is close to everything and the host had lots of recommendations for us. We booked the manatee swim through Explorida and highly recommend it as well. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

Great Stay, Location, and Property

The house is as advertised. It’s great not having any neighbors across the canal, which is rare for the area and gives you more privacy. The property is very clean, well stocked, and the owner is very responsive. Having access to the kayak and bikes was great. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Nice and easy weekday getaway

My friends and I stayed a couple days and we enjoyed the space. We kayaked to the springs (about a 30 minute journey), grilled, and came back to a quiet and clean home. Nicely decorated and accommodating. We had everything we needed to cook some tasty meals, and our host was easy to reach.

Crystal River Scalloping Weekend

The property feels brand new! It's clean, well furnished, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. We spent a day kayaking to 3-Sister's Spring (from the backyard of the proprety) and a day scalloping. I highly reccommend this property!

Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We spent two nights during a weeklong Florida spring break trip (2 adults and a 12 yr old) - the house setup was perfect and very clean. Comfy beds. Loved the backyard and availability of kayaks! Was centrally located with easy access to water, restaurants, tour groups, etc. There are multiple rentals each opening up to the water but still lots of privacy. We would love to come back and spend extended time here!
