You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Million Dollar view on the Main River! No Canal.

A lovely, ground-level, 4 bed/3 full bath, single-story home. The perfect river location with a million-dollar view – one of the best in Crystal River. This home has been recently renovated and sports a new lanai, fire pit, and dock. The “bunk room” has two sets of sturdy bunk beds (both twin over full) making this house a great option for families with kids. Mooring whips for two boats to be moored at the sea wall and there’s a long driveway for plenty of trailer parking. For more fun on the water, 2 kayaks and a stand-up paddle board are included with your stay. As the moonlight spills over the bay, make magic as you turn firewood into memories in the flicker of a campfire – the perfect end to a perfect day. Giant Jenga and board games will keep your indoor time lively and a growing book collection awaits bookworms.
Please know that outdoor security cameras are in use at this property

A note from the owner:
Thanks for considering being our guests. Part of our joy in being stewards of this fun property is sharing it with others. To ensure that we may continue to do so, I’ll offer a few thoughts on our expectations. Before booking, please be sure you’re in absolute agreement with what follows. I don’t want your deposit – only peace. We like our neighbors and they like us, and I have zero patience for anyone upsetting that balance. These policies exist to ensure that we can share this house with good folks like you for as long as we’d like. If your name is on the credit card used for the deposit, make sure your guests know the rules, too. Fun is absolutely encouraged - but abuse of our neighbors and/or the property is not allowed.
1. Please limit gatherings to our thoughtful occupancy limits. If you’re looking for a place to party, look elsewhere. This property is NOT AN EVENT SPACE for parties and special occasions.
2. This is a smoke-free property. No smoking inside or outside.
3. For a few reasons, we charge a fee for bringing a pet. You can avoid an awkward conversation and a charge (pet fee x3) by adding this fee at the time of booking. We are “pet friendly” under the following terms:
a. preapproved pets must remain under your control at all times.
b. dog must be on leash when outside.
c. clean up after your dog.
d. incessant barking is forbidden. Be a good neighbor.
e. keep pets off beds and furniture.
4. Wrap up your outdoor noise by 10pm. Make sure it happens. Outdoors, after 10PM, no loud music, no obnoxious shouting, no drunk-laughing, and no fireworks – I don’t care what the calendar says.
5. We provide kayaks and a paddleboard, a dock, a fire pit and a lovely house. Please care for them like they’re your own. We understand things get worn when used, but please don’t abuse.

More details about the property:

BOAT MOORING WHIPS: The big view of the river means the water can get rowdy from storms and heavy boat traffic. Mooring whips are provided for protecting your boat. When properly deployed, they are very effective. This is not a time to assume you know what you're doing. If you have any questions about how to use dock whips, check out a YouTube tutorial or call me. I love talking about boats!

Bedroom 1: King Bed – attached full bath
Bedroom 2: King Bed – attached full bath
Bedroom 3: King Bed – shared full bath
Bedroom 4: “bunk room” - Two sturdy sets of bunk beds, both twin over full. Six pillows for sleepy heads.

Kayaks, hammock, Blackstone griddle, giant Jenga and games provide an endless amount of fun and perfect place to stay while visiting Crystal River.
It is also an ideal location for scalloping, birding and fishing, watching manatees, visiting Three Sisters Spring, or just relaxing on the lanai, watching the manatees and boats go by. Minutes from the Golf Club. Boat mooring whips and available boat trailer parking.
Well-stocked kitchen and house with everything you need to just walk in and start your vacation.

Modern bedroom furniture
65" TV in living room

While you're outside, take the kayaks or paddleboard to explore the river and if you’re feeling adventurous, the springs! – the crystal clear water will give you a great view of the marine life below. Feeling fat? Watching manatees from the dock works wonders for your self-image. You'll also see fishes, rays, otters and crabs. Enjoy your coffee on the lanai. Cruise to the Gulf for scallops - no bridges to clear. And there are lots of fun waterfront restaurants for boating destinations.

Beautiful Waterfront Home
Justin's home was gorgeous. Spotless, modern, spacious and comfortable for 8 of us friends with two kids. The outdoor space with grill and adirondacks and expansive view of the bay was divine. Even the indoor living/dining rooms had massive waterfront views! We dropped our boat at Pete's Pier, which is less than 1 mile away from the home where we tied up to his whips. Justin was kind enough to take the time to call us to talk us through some of the shallow spots to watch out for in the bay. Very nice guy! His home is minutes away to the spring heads, and about 45 minutes out to the scallop grounds. Large driveway fit our trailer with ease. We also enjoyed the kayaks and SUP he had for us in the garage. Highly recommend this lovely home!

Crystal River Gem
Our family came together for a three night getaway and this home was the perfect location for us. We especially enjoyed the spacious kitchen and ample seating to sit and enjoy meals together. Outdoors, we enjoyed the sunsets, fire pit, and lots of fishing right from the backyard! This home is so clean, the beds are comfortable, and the location is peaceful. The owner is easy to communicate with and worked so hard to have this property ready for us. We are grateful for the hospitality!

Gorgeous Waterfront Property
The view was amazing and house was perfect for a large family group. The backyard was great and had plenty of room for the two boats we brought. The proponerte was very clean and had lots of essentials (tp, garbage bags, dishwasher tabs, etc) The neighbor Russell was also very friendly and helpful and gave us the insight on where to find the scallops on our second day. We loved it and will visit again.

This is an excellent place for those that love being waterfront and in a home that has ample room for a large family.

Unbeatable location and great for couples and/or families!
Truly the most magical view in Crystal River! We thoroughly enjoy our stay, despite some AC issues early on (July in Florida, whew!) The host said they were waiting on a part to arrive and coached us on how to fixed the AC when it would shut off. Very comfortable, although they should provide more bath towels and better pots/pans etc options. The place was clean and the neighborhood quiet at night. We docked 2 boats with ease, 23’ and 22’ bay boats. We brought additional bumpers as suggested by previous renters, which worked out great. The home had recently changed hands just before we occupied and I suspect the few issues we had were the result of the transition. We take an annual scalloping trip to Crystal River and if we weren’t adding 2 more people to future trips, we’d absolutely stay here again!
