This is our 2nd time staying at this beautiful house! And it won't be our last! Very clean, situated perfectly on the canal for boat owners, and comfortable beds. It is obvious the owners have thought of everything to make one's stay very nice and comfortable.
Place was very clean. A couple of appliances did breakdown but we sure managed to make the stay amazing.

We enjoyed our stay for a long weekend with our family of six - our kids are ages 12-19. We loved kayaking from the back dock and enjoying coffee on the porch.
Crystal River was such a fun place to visit. Our highlights were scalloping in the Gulf and enjoying the Three Sisters Springs by boat. Our favorite restaurants were Sellers Seafood and The Biscuit Barn!
The house was comfortable, and our dog enjoyed being able to come with us. The location was nice - close to everything. Everything was as advertised. Nearest grocery store was Aldi and that worked for what we needed. Publix was not much farther away. The house was stocked with the basics.
This was our first visit to Crystal River. We look forward to booking a stay here again in the near future.
We really enjoyed our stay! Very clean, perfect location, and it was great having our boat tied up to the dock out back! We will absolutely be staying at this property again.

We had a wonderful stay, this was our 2nd time renting out this property for a family get away and it was just as wonderful as the first time, clean, peaceful, and perfect location. The kids love going out on the kayaks and fishing off the dock, and it’s always perfect for our local family to come over and we cookout with the grill and watch the summer storms roll in while we sit on the porch. This place is a little gem. We look forward to many more weekend getaway’s here.
