Bring your Boat & Enjoy Crystal River! Fish & See Manatee at Our Dock, Kayaks

Fabulous vacation rental home in the heart of Crystal River! Bring your boats! There's no bridge blocking your way to the Gulf. Home is fun ready! Boat or Kayak from the 8 x 20 floating dock (open on both ends) to Three Sisters Springs. Spacious home with very open floor plan for family fun! 3 Bedroom 2 Bath, sleeps 10 people. Great place for family and friends to gather for some rest and relaxation after an adventurous day on the water.

At least 6 kayaks and life vests are provided. Three Sister's Springs, Kings Bay and Hunter Springs are nearby. There is a boat launch directly into our canal at the local Resort and Adventure Center for a small fee.

Convenient location with water access! It is at the end of the canal and there is occasional noisy traffic on a road bordering the property, but the interior of the house was quiet and comfortable. Great open area for having family meals, conversation, and games. We would stay here again. We enjoyed the kayaks immensely. We saw turtles, fish, manatee and dolphin while on the kayaks. The host was very responsive!

Donna, our host, was very responsive to all our questions. The kitchen and laundry room are well equipped for a family. The sleeping areas and bath are accurately described. But the best part….this house is on the water with docks. We fished, launched the kayaks, watched birds, turtles and MANATEE! We loved having the available kayaks and all of us paddled to Three Sisters and Hunter Springs and back home on a beautiful day. Only 9 miles from the beach and walking trails, a fishing pier and other sights are even closer. The location is great. Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful area of Florida, filled with natural wonder.
