Wonderful property
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.

Clean, quiet and relaxing
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.
