Manatee Heaven
We had a wonderful stay and this has been our favorite trip by far! We took our bikes to a great fishing hole close to the house, took a short drive to fort island beach to play in the water, rented a boat for the day, kayaked up and down the river, played in the hot tub, and shopped in town. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating! Great stay!

Great house in a great location for anything boating. Easy access to kings bay, springs, sandbars and scalloping. The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The host was easy to communicate with and was prompt to address any questions we had. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Awesome place to stay!
Everything we could have asked for on this scalloping and fishing adventure with the grandkids. Public boat launch just down the road, easy access from the dock to the gulf, bait shop just up the road. Grocery stores and great food within minutes of the house. We grilled fish and scallops, kids even caught redfish in the canal between trips. Definitely recommend and plan to visit again!

Christmas in Crystal River
This house was the perfect place to call home over our holiday. Spacious, relaxing, clean, plenty to keep the teens busy, loved using the kayaks and seeing manatees and dolphins on the river. We did a little fishing, used the hot tub most mornings and nights and enjoyed bird watching from the screen porch. If we visit the area again I would definitely stay here.

Great first trip to Crystal River
House was very clean and provided everything we needed for a great trip. It was in an excellent location for us to access the river by boat, centralized between the gulf and springs. The location allowed us to have a day of fishing, a day for scalloping and a day to relax and enjoy the springs! Lots of great memories were made. Looking forward to another trip one day!

There were four of us needing a place to stay for 4 nights while waiting to close and move into our new home in Citrus County. This place worked perfectly for us. Very comfortable and it had everything you could possibly need. We felt like we were on vacation. We made use of the hot tub, the kayaks and the fishing rod. The neighbors were very friendly as well. Will definitely book this home again in the future for family and friends that come to visit!

We’ve stayed here before and changes we suggested on our last stay were made by John. That is rare in my opinion and it made it more comfortable for what we do. Which is fish and clean fish! Lol The house has ample room and activities for about any age, it was clean and well appointed and John is very attentive and accommodating. The neighbors are all friendly as well and I would definitely stay again.

Amazing find in Crystal River
This property was everything we could have asked for. It is exactly as pictured. The open floor plan is great and the bedrooms are spacious, especially the master. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the hot tub. The kayaks were our favorite amenity. We used them every day. The location of house is great as well. It is a 10-15 minute drive to the heart of Crystal River and Fort Island beach is 5 minutes down the road. John was super helpful and very responsive. This really was an amazing find!

Great house and location!
Highly recommend! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great house! John was very responsive and even met us at the house to show us around when we checked in. The house was very clean and provided everything we needed for our family of 5 to enjoy the week. The location was perfect! The neighborhood was so peaceful and the neighbors we met were very friendly. We had fun kayaking and paddle boarding around in the canals (we brought our own paddle boards). We rented a pontoon boat for a few days and found it easy to navigate in the canal, even at low tide. The hot tub was very clean and we really enjoyed it in the mornings and evenings when it was still relatively cool out. Thanks so much, John, for a wonderful visit to Crystal River! We will definitely visit your lovely home again!
