A wonderful getaway

Palm Springs House was a perfect place for our family to spend time. It was spacious and clean, in a nice neighborhood and conveniently located. The owner was very responsive and even stopped by at one point to make sure all was ok.The highlight of the house was the screened in back porch overlooking the canal where we sat to play games while watching the wildlife.

It was a great experience for our entire family! The house had a lot of space. We used the kayaks and saw manatees and dolphins.

The good and the needs improvement

What to love: Location was very convenient to grocery and restaurants, plenty of parking, it’s on the water, comfortable seating on the deck and the provided kayaks. What needs improvement: House is showing its age and is in need of updating and brighter lighting inside, because it was chilly when we stayed extra blankets would have been welcomed.

Great location for our family

The propoerty managers was great to work with and had lots of good information about the surrounding area in our rental packet. The house is in a great location and has all the basic necessities of a VRBO, however, it is in need of a deep clean, including pressure washing the screened porch. The back screens have lots of mold. The kyacks and life jackets were in good shape and easy to use. We will be repeat renters and hope the house has a deep clean before our next stay.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Vega

Our family lives just outside of Orlando which is approximately 1.5 hours from Crystal River. We currently have three vacation rental locations in Crystal River with this location being our first private home.
We are all Florida natives; Pete grew up in Inverness which is the town next to our vacation home and why we chose Crystal River. We like the laid back sleepy little town feel and fell in love with the areas springs, specifically Three Sisters. What started as a weekend get a way has turned into a wonderful place we are happy to share.
We chose Crystal River because I grew up close to the springs and remember swimming in them as a kid. I enjoyed frequent field trips and summer camps to see the manatees and swim in the springs. My first scuba trip was in King Springs, around the corner from our place. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we have....
Crystal River is a quiet little town with plenty to offer. The springs are beautiful and Kings Springs is less than a 10 minute paddle from our dock. On any given morning you can see manatees and dolphin swim in the natural spring near our boathouse. From our back yard, you can boat or paddle to waterfront restaurants and enjoy the nature preserve in Kings Bay. A 7 mile scenic boat ride takes you to the Gulf of Mexico where there is fantastic fishing, nature viewing and in the summer, scallop harvesting. You will enjoy near by Homosassa Wildlife Park and Indian burial grounds which leave a lot to explore. Golf courses, bike/hiking trails close will allow for an active vacation if desired.

Why they chose this property

We really liked this home in particular because there is nature in front of us and nature behind us (including a natural spring). We also loved the layout of the house with a private master suite on the 3rd level which includes a private bathroom, large walk in shower and private balcony. The middle level offers a large screened in porch a step away from the kitchen for easy morning coffee or dinner outside. We like being on the water and close to nature with the luxuries of town close by which made this home the ideal place....
