LOCATION AND ACTIVITIES

If you are a boater, you have protected docking for your vessel. Our dock will hold up to one 23-26 foot vessel. Dock is very protected from the elements. The dock is also designed with a special launch for kayaking on and off. Please check before booking for boat accommodation. We provide 3 one person kayaks and 1 two person kayak. You can also boat to restaurants that offer lunch, dinner and drinks. If you fish you can be out in the gulf in a short amount of time. There are also small Islands you can explore, fish from, have lunch or just hang on the remote beach! If you are here for the springs and looking for the manatee, all are close by. There is a small spring very close to the property that can be seen form the south bedroom deck. We often have Manatees swimming by the front of our property and the back bay portion. Dolphins can also be seen at times swimming by.

If you are a kayaker you are in a great spot to explore quietly by yourself or with a friend all that Crystal River nature has to offer. If you want to be where there are lots of kayakers and boaters you just have to paddle a little further. You can also paddle to one of the restaurants/bars for lunch if you are more adventurous.

If your a biker, jogger or walker you can be down town Crystal River without having to use the highway! You can also bike to the public beach on the gulf.

Here is our story! Please feel free to reach out to us.

Larry & Mary

We visit Vermont for the summer and reside in Crystal River for the rest of the time. Mary is a retired school teacher. I'm a retired airline pilot who flew B-787, DC-10, B-767, B757, B727 & MD80 in the USA, Caribbean, Central & South America, Pacific and Atlantic routes.

I'm also an avid Sea Plane pilot and own one. We also enjoy boating, fishing, biking, and kayaking.


We purchased this home as our new winter home and residence. We looked all over florida to try to match the privacy of our northerly waterfront property. This property is the one that filled all our requirements!

When we vacation we usually rent homes that we find through Homeaway. This has allowed us to be on both sides of renting a vacation home. We have tried to add and design what we would want into our vacation homes. Please check out our other property which is listed in the notes. #135449 and #4079165

We also enjoy meeting those we rent to and have made many new friends and look forward to making many more.

Why they chose this property

This property has the peacefulness of old florida. The house is on 3 lots and sets on the point of a small neighborhood that is connected by a one lane bridge to Crescent Island. The sunsets are amazing from this property along with the peacefulness and nature!

The property is the last one at the very end of the very private neighborhood road.
Manatees swim by as you relax by the water with a multitude of other type of fish. A small spring that is nestled next to the shore close by adds to the uniqueness and attracts the Manatees.

We have a very protected dock for your vessel. The dock also has a kayak launch on it for easy access. Out front there is a fishing dock/deck that extends out into the bay. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from here!

Please check with us before booking on the size of your vessel. There is also a launch site 5 minutes away and we have storage for a trailer onsite

You can easily boat to a restaurant for lunch or dinner or be in the gulf in a few minutes.

You can also Kayak for lunch close by!

To top that off you have water on two sides of the property with Manatees and many types of fish swimming along the shore!

Enjoy!

Larry & Mary

What makes this property unique

The view from the multiple decks have been described as a million dollar views during the day and at night.

Plantation club is close by for boat rentals, manatee tours, restaurant and Golf.

The Gulf beach is 8 miles away on a quite road with many options to explore along the way. Drive or bike!

Nature is active all around in many different unique forms!

You can bike to down town without being on a major highway!

You can successfully fish off the seawall or dock or launch your vessel minutes away!

Just relax!
