Great stay!

The house was amazing, very clean with updated renovations making it a very comfortable stay. Owner was very friendly and helpful. The location is spectacular with beautiful sunrise every morning. Even had a manatee greet me first thing while drinking my coffee watching the sunrise on dock. Will definitely rent again for our next family vacation.

Nice house, beautiful location!

The house was as advertised. The location on the bay was beautiful. Communication with the owner was great and the check-in process was very simple. The ONLY thing keeping me from giving 5 stars was AC. It simply could not keep up with August heat. The temp inside was usually around 80f during the day and wven uncomfortable at night. I do wish that had been communicated earlier/better. However, we still enjoyed our time in Crystal River.

Sensational accommodations

Location was key when selecting a place to vacation. This house had so much more than we expected and the view from the house was beautiful! We used the kayaks and saw so many dolphins and manatees. We could have just stayed for a month. Incredibly pleased with every aspect of this experience! There was so much attention to detail with the quality of sheets and towels to supplies for cleaning and even a variety of soaps, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, condiments for sandwiches and coffees and teas, sugar and creamers included. You literally could bring a bag of clothes and a small cooler and be set for the weekend! The front door was a little challenging to operate but we went in and out of the carport entrance so it wasn’t a problem. Highly recommend this house!

Great house and water views!

Erica was a great host! Beyond helpful and accommodating. We did a last minute getaway and couldn’t of been happier with our choice. At night with the view it felt like the house was in the water. Truly spectacular water views to wake up to and also loved the mid century vibe of the house. Having the kayaks here was an added bonus and super easy to kayak right out into the bay. The location was perfect and close to everything. Would definitely recommend and stay at Erica’s place again.

This is an excellent property. The boat dock was great for evening fishing, having the kayaks was an added bonus. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The proximity to freedom boat club was great and the dock was a nice bonus to drop off some family members that wants an afternoon break.

Framily Scallop Trip

This was a great property for our friends/family scallop trip! The house was just as described, clean and well equipped with anything that you need. We greatly enjoyed the open concept inside the house and the back porch. It was perfect for sharing means and spending time together. We look forward to booking this property again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
