DISCOUNT FOR WEEKLY RENTAL Pool/Dock/Kayaks/Pets/Private Amazing Outdoor Kitchen

Welcome to Casa Del Rio. Our professionally decorated home with a fun coastal flare is located in an upscale, private neighborhood just off Fort Island Trail in Crystal River, FL.

Our home has four large bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, a solar heated/screened, saltwater swimming pool, large outdoor kitchen with high-end gas barbeque, Smart TV, granite counters and sink. A gourmet indoor kitchen with new commercial appliances to include ice maker and wine cooler. There's a large dock for your boat or fishing and a fenced yard for furry friends.

This is our "river house" and not just someone's rental house. We take pride in every inch of it. The furniture, beds and all appliances are brand new. Everything is high end catering to sophisticated tastes, with original artwork from area artists and an eye for detail. We want you to enjoy Casa Del Rio as much as we do, and we put great effort into assuring that your stay will be enjoyed by all.

You never know who might swim by in the canal - dolphins, manatees and an assortment of coastal birds frequent our backyard.

The large dock easily accommodates two boats, kayaks or jets skis. The canal is subject to tides but is appropriate for pontoon boats, bay boats, kayaks and low draft skiffs.

Crystal River Experience

Property was very nice, beds were all comfortable, kitchen had everything you could need. We had 4 couples and all were happy and had their own bedrooms. We had 2 boats, one 23 foot runabout and one 17 foot flats boat. Plenty of room. Pool was nice and lanai keep out the bugs. We had a great time. Host was very responsive.

Very nice. The canal is navigable at tides above 1'. Pay attention to the tides when planning your boating activities. Stay far right in the canal in bound and left exiting. The home is very charming and well equipped.

Love Crystal River

Always have an absolute blast staying in Crystal River. You can tell the home was recently remodeled fresh and very clean. Everything in the home is very well taken care of and communication with the owner is quick and responsive. The home is well stocked with every you would need to cook. Our only major complaint is the canal is extremely rocky. We have a 26 foot pathfinder and there were multiple times. It was very difficult to navigate due to the water being under 2 feet. The bottom is very rocky and really damaged our boat. At one point, we could not even reach the home because the canal was completely dry across. You have to watch the tides. Only one of the rocks is marked in the channel and thank goodness the neighbors let us know of another one. Unfortunately, there was even more and we took a big chunk at the bottom of our boat.

Great place to stay. Month of April.

First off, the host is wonderful. ( Teri ). Checking in to see if everything was alright with the place and if there was anything we needed. My husband and I came down for the fishing. Sometimes it was good and sometimes not so good but sitting on the dock watching the wildlife go by made up for the bad days. It makes you to sit back and think, this is paradise. There is a lot of activates to do in Crystal River, which our company and I did enjoy. We will be back.

We really enjoyed staying here for our vacation week. The house was excellent and as described. Very nice pool. We used the dock and supplied kayaks a lot for fishing and manatee viewing. Caught catfish, black drum and mangrove snapper right off the dock. Very quiet neighborhood and location is very close to all local attractions.

My Stay

We had a wonderful time. The neighborhood was very impressive and the people seemed very friendly. The house was in pristine condition. The pool was however, a little disappointing where it needed some work. We wanted to do a little swimming but, the not taken care of very well with the pool guy. It’s always the pool guy other then the pool we rated the whole experience an “A”. Thanks very much for letting us stay with you.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Our son that lives in Orlando came and stayed with us. Even though the weather was too cool to kayak to see the manatees, we went to Three Sister Springs and saw dozens of them. And best of all, I got to hug my son. It was a double win!

Great Place to Enjoy Crystal River!

This house is as good as it gets for a vacation! We enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas a lot! There was plenty of space for everyone (6 adults 2 small children). We did cover the River Man statue with a sheet cause he’s a little creepy at night lol! We brought our 28’ boat with us. We had to watch the tides coming in and out of canal (1.2’ was the magic number to get in/out). It was pretty tricky getting the trailer in the driveway, but only because we were over sized a bit… We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Teri Burns

Host profile image
We are two couples who purchased our first property together just up the street from Casa Del Rio (River House) and affectionately named it Casa Del Sol (House of the Sun) in 2015. Having enjoyed our first house, we decided to purchase a second home with the hopes that we would one day retire to Crystal River and have separate homes within walking distance of each other. In the Spring of 2016, we purchased Casa Del Rio and since that time, we have successfully shared both homes with families like our own - people that love nature, getting away from the hustle of daily life and know the importance of family and friends. Through the years, we have definitely experienced ups and downs including two hurricanes that flooded both houses. Although difficult to endure, both times we were able to remodel, update and come back better than before. The homes are our labor of love, that having reached retirement age, we hope to share and enjoy for many, many more years.

Why they chose this property

Casa Del Rio is perfectly located mid-way to Manatee viewing at Three Sister's Springs or World Class Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Nature lovers will enjoy the tranquil, private setting and lush tropical yard. The home is upscale, peaceful and everything is top notch. It's a neighborhood of million-dollar homes and is perfect for walking, jogging or bicycling. If you are looking for mornings fishing, afternoons kayaking or playing with the kids in the pool, evenings entertaining in the outdoor kitchen, and a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere then look no further than Casa Del Rio.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Rio is just 4 houses from our sister home - Casa Del Sol - VRBO #691163. Rent both homes for family get-togethers or reunions. Enjoy Casa Del Sol's fun, up-beat, Mediterranean atmosphere, hot tub, screened pool and deep-water dock one day and Casa Del Rio's sophisticated, coastal atmosphere, outdoor kitchen and beautiful canal setting the next day. It's the best of both worlds within walking distance.
