This was a prefect solution for our family stay in Crystal River. The layout of the property. Inside and out, was ideal for our needs. The check in process could not have been easier and it was very close to restaurants and attractions. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great property right on the water. We used the kayaks to go out on the River and cleaned our scallops on the dock. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Only downside of the whole stay was there was no shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided. Charcoal was provided, though, which was nice for grilling steaks one night. Would def stay here again!

Wonderful location, awesome communication, and everything you need! This truly was a perfect, quiet spot on the Crystal River. Having kayaks, paddle boards, and life jackets free of use was another added perk. House was clean and cool - will definitely stay here again!

Fishing Tournament Weekend.
I stayed at this property with a few friends for a fishing tournament in Crystal River. Everything at the home was just as advertised and the owner was quick to communicate and assist his guests. The home is close to the heart of Crystal River and is very well set up for fishermen. The home has its own boat ramp and dock, so we were able to do everything from the house and skip the craziness at the local boat ramps. I would absolutely return and stay again.

Great little getaway
The house was perfect for our family. I loved sitting on the deck and listening to the fish jump in the river. Super quiet street - just the escape we needed - yet close to everything. We enjoyed the kayaks and the large yard. We had trouble with the front door keypad but Phil was super apologetic and took care of it immediately. We would definitely stay here again!
