About the host
Hosted by April Sumner
As a fifth generation Floridian I fell in love with Crystal River's natural beauty on my first boat ride down the river. The tall palm trees and sawgrass flats make it easy to envision what the first settlers to the area saw upon their arrival to Florida.
Why they chose this property
I immediately was reminded of Girl Scout camp I attended as a teenager, where there were tents on raised platforms and board walks from tent to tent. The natural setting with water flowing under the house invoked a calm that made my heart stop. I knew right away that I had to have one of the units in order to restore peace in my busy life.
What makes this property unique
The layout of the property both inside and out. The loft home is a mere 650 sq ft, but feels much larger with the large open windows framing a beautiful scene. With the canal flowing under the house when the tide rises provides the feeling of being on a ship. The quiet serenity allows one to decompress and relax, something we all need.
