Estuary Oasis

Bring the family to your own estuary oasis with a fenced in yard. Bring your boat to tie up to the dock or just launch the provided kayaks. Catch fish in your backyard. Lounge in a hammock or Netflix and chill. Enjoy delicious local restaurants that feature the freshest seafood, or catch and grill your own fish or scallops. We love our guests and hope you have a magical time here at our estuary oasis. This is a Coastal styled Estuary Oasis, minutes from scallop grounds or manatee swims. Enjoy the sunrise while sipping on provided coffee or tea and the sunset with your favorite drink in hand. You have access to the main floor. Master bath has a double slipper soaking tub. Feel free to use kayaks and bikes. There is a keurig and teapot available. Home features a 65 inch smart tv, just log in to your favorite streaming account and chill. We are just a text or phone call away, your on call concierge. Jason 352-304-7782 Elizabeth 352-566-0324 Fort Island Beach is 8 miles away. 3 sisters springs, and manatee viewing is 4 miles away.

We had a great time staying at this house. It was clean, well stocked with everything you would need, and the view is amazing. The host was very responsive. The Vrbo app led us to the wrong address about 10 minutes away, but the host quickly gave us the right one. We would definitely recommend this property.

Family Gathering

We had a lovely time and were surprised at how nice the property was, considering Hurricane Helene decimated many homes in the neighborhood. The welcome St. Sebastian Rose and Sherry were a nice touch.There were a few things that needed attention: the railing on the front and back stairs had parts that were not fully connected and separated when in use. Also, the back screen doors had screens that separated from frame. After notifying host, the repairs were completed in 3 days. A few days in, an alarm went off and it was not the fire alarm, after my husband talked to the Host, it was determined to be the CO. The kitchen had only 3 coffee mugs for 5 adults (the cabinet in laundry had more, but it was marked as “owner’s”, and we did not use them). There was no blender, egg beater, nor hand mixer. There were only 3 rolls of toilet paper for 5 adults for 5 days, no dryer sheets and no towel rods or hooks in primary en suite bath.

Four of us used the Estuary House as a hub while visiting our parents nearby. One of us is a bird nerd who loved birdwatching from the back deck. Crystal River is the place to go for manatee viewing. We also took a day trip to Sarasota for strolling along its white sandy beaches. We found the house clean, quiet and relaxing. Host responded quickly to all inquiries.
