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.

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.

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.

The house was great. Nice bathrooms and bedrooms. The grill was a bit disgusting so we cooked elsewhere. We had a lovely time on the canal/river in the kayaks, all accessories were provided in the garage. Went to the Homossa Springs Wildlife Refuge and saw 3 manatees there with an additional 5 in the river, which made my trip complete. Also took an airboat ride where we saw numerous dolphins, can't ask for more than that. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood, the way we like it.
