Incredible property, wonderful host. My wife, daughter, and I just completed a four night stay here. Everything about the place is fantastic. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the location, and the waterfront setting are all deserving of a 5 star rating. We will be back.

Beautiful home right on the water with all the amenities you’ll need. Easy ride down Crystal River to the Gulf. Host was quick to respond and easy to contact, when needed. We took our boys and some of their friends with us and they enjoyed scalloping and fishing off the dock. Plenty of room for all! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

As VRBO owners ourselves, we’re very picky when it comes to places. However this one was incredible. There isn’t a single thing the hosts didn’t think of. The place is incredibly comfortable, spacious and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back!

We’re true Floridians who love life on the water, and we’re grateful to share our home-away-from-home with guests looking to enjoy the Nature Coast the way we do. Time with family and friends means everything to us, and our waterfront retreat has always been our favorite place to make those memories. We hope it becomes that special place for you too.

Why they chose this property

Crystal River has always been a special, quaint escape for us, and we’ve fallen in love with its true local charm. Fishing the Gulf is always a treat, and we’re grateful to be able to share this little piece of Florida paradise with others who appreciate the simple, coastal lifestyle as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the best of waterfront living with your own private pool and two convenient boat slips, perfectly set on Crystal Bay. You're just minutes from the famous springs and have quick, easy access to the Gulf, making this the ideal spot for boating, fishing, and soaking in all that Crystal River has to offer.
