  • Lovely home on the water in Crystal River, FL

    5/5

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean which we appreciated. It was well stocked with almost everything we needed. The location works well for dropping in the kayaks, jumping on our bikes and driving into the Village of Crystal River. When we didn't feel like cooking, there are many options available, ranging from very casual to upscale. We liked this home so much, we have already booked for next year.

    Thank for the updates we are planning on going down at the end of the month and replacing step and pressure washing the house. We will do the chairs as well. We plain on looking over everything and addressing any problems. The refrigerator is a on going thing people keep turning in down. My house keeper is supposed to be checking that. Thank you for up date and staying at our place

    Great stay! The house was comfortable, had everything we needed, and was perfect for our boat and dogs. Town just a couple of miles away. First time in the area and we really enjoyed it!

    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.

  • Perfect getaway!

    5/5

    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.
