The view was definitely a million dollar view and the location was awesome in regards to going kayaking and doing things in Crystal River. It worked out fine for my family three day weekend. On the other hand, the property itself needs some tender loving care. It is for sale and the landscaping is run down. The cleanliness inside was average and there were minimal necessities.

Ginger quickly took care of an issue discovered upon our arrival. Overall house worked well for us. Kitchen had basic items - paper towels, coffee filters, dishwasher detergent etc. - which was nice. The house could use a little TLC on the interior - replace blinds on master bedroom balcony doors, fix blinds on living room windows - but nothing that major. Thanks for a nice Thanksgiving getaway.

Inside very spacious and clean. Location was amazing. The yard was overgrown as well as unkept growth in pool area. When contacting Host Ginger, she took care of it immediately. Despite some issues which were communicated to the owner and host during and after our stay, we had a great time with the family.

Very nice, comfortable home! Had a nice pool and lots of pool and river toys (we didn't really use any river stuff but kayaks and stand up boards were available). Interior has an extra refrigerator downstairs, which we took advantage of. Master bed was very soft (not my liking but my wife loved it). Downsides: Outside could use some landscape work like trimming and clean up. The dock was very tricky for my 22.5' boat. No lift (there is one but it is inoperable), so we had to carefully tie it off to account for the tide and lots of wake. The house is in an open throttle section so you get tons of wake. Nice long driveway so plenty of room to park 4 cars and our boat trailer. We used two ramps and preferred Pete's Pier over the one at the park (very shallow slope at the park peer; made it difficult to get the boat off the trailer). We went scalloping and a little fishing. Very fun!

This Crystal River home was ideally located on the river, with great access to the gulf for scalloping and everything the river has to offer (springs, restaurants and fuel docks).We had three families staying with us. The house had plenty of room for everyone and great views of the river.None of my feedback would stop us from renting again, but like a few other reviews have mentioned, the owners should consider doing a walk through of the house occasionally to ensure there are adequate kitchen necessities (sharp knives, cutting boards, large pots, hot pads). Also, for those renters that see the blackstone in the picture, it’s not the same one at the house - it only has 2 burners and a requires significant cleaning (we chose to use the gas grill instead). Also, for those sleeping in the master, there are no blinds so you can enjoy the sunrise .For boaters, bring plenty of fenders. The dock is on the main river and you will encounter boat wake. The dock only has some pool noodles attached to the pillars. Also, as another note, the hose for wash down only reaches about half way down the dock.As I mentioned, none of the feedback would prevent us from renting again, just being provided as opportunities for improvement.

Perfect location for relaxing Spring Break

Our family traveled to Crystal River with 2 other families and shared the Million Dollar Mansion. It was perfect for our 6 adults and 5 teens/tweens. The house is perfectly split between upstairs and downstairs. The bunkroom downstairs fit our 5 kids and the grownups got the upstairs bedrooms. The big dining room table was great for shared meals and board games. The location, on the water, is gorgeous. We saw so much wildlife (manatees!) from the dock and while using the paddleboards and kayaks. The pool was a treat, too! If you like to cook for a group while on vacation, you might want to bring some supplies. There weren't any big pots, but plenty of bigger pans. We made due just fine. We didn't use the grill, but it's an option, too. The location is ideal. Quiet but close to the beach (9 minutes), boat rentals (Twin Rivers Marina - 5 minutes), and downtown Crystal River (10 minutes). We'd definitely stay again!

Great location and floor plan -- Many disappointing details

Great house for a multi-generational family group, Location is beautiful. To be fair, house was flooded by Hurricane Helene and there was evidence of major work done to restore it on the first floor, but the items below could all have been handled in advance of our arrival if the owner/manager had inspected the house carefully: All bathroom ceiling fans are inoperative. Some electrical outlets in kitchen inoperative. Gas fireplace shut off. Gas tank lying on its side in yard. Flat top gas grill too filthy to use. Propane cylinders empty. Ditto for Rusty Weber charcoal bowl. Solar pool heater disconnected. Pool needs vacuuming. Oven temperature display has burned out pixels -- impossible to set temperature accurately. Burned out light bulbs - no spares available. Spares delivered by UPS after we bought our own. Downstairs refrigerator inoperative but repaired promptly when we complained. Floors dirty - cleaning poor overall. Kitchen isn't well equipped - missing many useful items: pans, measuring cups/spoons, coffee grinder, matches/lighter. Mixer has no beaters. Minimal blankets and towels. Outdoor lighting on river side all inoperative. LR Furniture old, worn and stained. Cheap "camp" bunkbeds in basement kids' bunkroom. Poor quality mattresses in BR2 and BR3. Mattress pads stained. Few hangars in closets. Railing post at top of stairs loose - a falling hazard. Downstairs toilet burbles when upstairs shower used. No curtains/blinds on MBR deck doors.

Great View!

Property Manager was very responsive and tried to help with minor internet issue. ( we used our hot spots/so no big deal) Great location for our trip,boat launch was easy as we put in at Petes Pier (Could almost see it from the dock) would note that this dock sits on a very very busy waterway so suggest that if you bring a boat you also bring a lot of dock bumpers as the water gets a bit rocky and your boat will move about! House was clean and ready! Check in was very easy and instructions were spot on! Pool was nice, clean and looked well taken care of. House had a lot of room and we had a great time. We saw dolphins and manatees from the dock...lots of fish jumping and sunrise was beyond words!! A few small items of note: The BlackStone Flat top grill needs a bit of love and a cover (we did not use it)! It was also out of propane if we would have used it we would have filled a tank as they had 2 others in the garage! Hammock seemed to be missing as well as the fire pit. And the racoons love the garbage :) Overall a solid 4.25 of 5...so worth it!!

GREAT LOCATION ON THE RIVER

Our family stayed over 4th of July weekend, great locaton for watching fireworks. Easy access to Gulf for scalloping. Dock was adequate for our 24ft boat. A few things to consider: Pool was not usable since the water was too warm. A chiller would be great in this small pool. Not enough bath towels to go around and oven display is broken so no idea what temp we cooked at! Downstairs refrigerator was broken. Did see a bunch of cookies smashed between the couch cusions that apparently was missed by the cleaning crew. But overall the cleanliness was very good. Definitely recommend this property. Lots of room for large family to spread out.

Perfect location

This house offered plenty of room to bring a few friends . The location was great , and the windows in the back offer a beautiful view . Docking your boat was very easy , just need to make sure you bring plenty of bumpers . If I had to complain about one thing , it would be there were very few pool towels for a house this size . We enjoyed our stay .
