Great location for a short stay for two people. Right on the camel and there are two kayaks that you can use. Small deck where you can watch the boats come in. Very close to Crystal river. Host is very responsive.

Perfect place to relax and celebrate my wife's birthday. We caught several fish from the dock including a baby stingray; all of which were released unharmed. We intended to bring our skiff but engine trouble prevented that from happening. Lots of beautiful homes on this canal. And lots of nearby amazing restaurants to check out. We recommend Wallace's.

The property was absolutely great. We would sip out coffee in the am and see dolphins swim by in the channel and even saw a manatee. The kayaks that provided me used everyday and we could ship out on our paddle boards right from the house. The inside bar was also used every night with a great old school river town bar that reminds you of old Florida. Have already told 2 other couples about the place. So close to other bars too!

This was the perfect little stay. We loved that it was right on the water and we could just sit and relax right on the canal. Rhe screened in “Tiki” area was so cute. The location was perfect, as it was near everything we wanted to do. And it was walkable to the best restaurant we tried in the area, Marguerita’s. We were so close to Blue Haven who took us out to swim with manatees!I’ve already recommended to friends and we will be back for sure!
