Perfect Place to Stay in Crystal River!

This was the perfect place to stay on our week trip to Crystal River for kayaking and snorkeling with the manatees. Location in about 4 miles out of town with a 8-10 minute drive to all the tour places. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a drip coffee maker. Beds were comfortable and the canal location was exotic and very safe.We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful

This place was absolutely beautiful. The space under the house was very convenient for washing dive gear and letting it drip dry, and the screened in porch was a great place to sit, watch the sunrise, and listen to the birds sing. Would definitely recommend.

Great location! Wonderful experience.

We wanted a place to base our Crystal River exploration 3-day vacation in a place other than a hotel room. this house fit our expectations and more. The hammock in the yard and the dock on the canal was appreciated for our kayak access to Crystal River.

This house had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is nice and is well stocked. Like every house in the area, it is built up with parking below so has a flight of stairs to get in. It is centrally located to good restaurants, shopping, a beach and boating excursions. We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Crystal River getaway location

The place is exactly as described and very clean. Everything was in good working condition and we enjoyed our stay. We ran into a few weather issues heading into our trip and the property manager worked with us to accommodate our concerns. She even personally drove to the property and checked on it prior to our arrival. I definitely look forward to returning and staying there in the future.

Relaxing stay at this lovely home!

My husband and I enjoyed a couple of wonderful days at this lovely location. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The screened in back porch was wonderful for having coffee in the morning. We highly recommend it! The location is easily accessible to local attractions like Three Sisters Springs. Do be aware that the stairs in the front and back are steep and a little hard on the knees if you have arthritis. The property manager was very nice and responsive both before and during the visit. All in all, it’s definitely a 5 out of 5!!

Great.....but.....

This is a great property, but unfortunately, it is not as described. We are in the midst of working with Evolve to get a refund. The property does have a dock, but it is NOT safe to use. There is NO way a 26 foot boat could make it to the dock except at high tide and for a couple of hours. The dock needs to be extended into the canal to truly advertise this amenity correctly. I confirmed with Evolve before booking that the lower portion of the dock is floating because we planned to bring jet skis with us. There is NO floating element to the dock (which I realize is not advertised.....hence why I asked and confirmed before booking). The house itself is cute and clean. The house leans toward the extra bedroom so if you have any balance issues, you'll want to look elsewhere. There was an army of ants in the kitchen near the sink and window which we fought throughout our stay. The mattresses desperately need to be reaplaced for the extra room (daybed and trundle) and the pull-out couch. Our 17 year old woke up with vertigo the first morning because of the lean of the house in addition to the lean of the trundle mattress. We ended up using the blow-up mattress (that did not have sheets that fit it). I communicated all of this with Marlene, who was responsive, but unable to do anything except call the bug company to spray for the ants outdoors. She did contact Evolve for us when I showed her the communication which confirmed the floating dock. We could have overlooked many of these smaller issues if the dock situation had worked out. We traveled to Crystal River primarily to have a house to "ski-in, ski-out" and were extremely disappointed that this wasn't the case. We live in an area where we could go to a boat ramp every day and would not have traveled over at all. I did look for another property on VRBO after the first night (we got in later than expected, at dark, so didn't realize the dock wasn't floating as confirmed, and didn't realize the unlevel nature of the house would affect our daughter as it did until she awoke the first morning). The only other place had carpet throughout the property, which we need to stay away from. The kitchen was well stocked and I was able to cook what I needed. It's been a week since my husband spoke with Reggie at Evolve. We are waiting for their response .

It was ok , but disappointed with screened in area

The place was in a great location , but pretty outdated. The furniture was wore out , the bedroom FANS need to be replaced and were very noisy and hard to sleep . The day bed was terrible and wore out , also has pee stains all over mattress cover . The sliding glass door on the screen porch was very hard to open and lock. We were not able to use the screened in porch much due to mosquitos and gnats coming in through openings in screen. Please also need a can opener!!! I had to open cans with a knife and very frustrating.. We were disturbed with checking out because a man showed up at 9:30 and was digging through trash and walking around property. We felt rushed to check out … The trash situation needs to be more clear . We still enjoyed our stay and these things didn’t ruin our trip , but wanted yall to have feedback

Quiet, comfortable getaway

This is a great place to stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of tourism. The house offers many amenities and a lovely lanai. It is located between the town of Crystal River and the Gulf coast beach with access to several boat launches. The house was quite clean with the exception of 2 area rugs There was an issue with the sheets not being available or just worn out but other than those 2 complaints, the house was quite enjoyable.

The place was in a quiet area. We were really looking forward to an outside campfire but there wasn’t one. Of you have a boat it would be easy access to tons open water.🚿
