AMAZING stay!!

We had an amazing stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fun getaway. We especially enjoyed the pool, pickleball court, and movie theater. The kids were obsessed with the popcorn machine—it was such a fun touch! The host was fantastic—great communication and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely stay again!

A great place with a ton of amenities

Stayed at this home with several friends for an (old) guys' weekend, and we had a great time. The home theater is a really cool feature, and we got a ton of use out it as well as the pickleball court and ping pong table - and the pool, of course. Communication with Cathryn was easy and prompt, and she really went the extra mile to make sure we had what we needed for our stay.It's a huge house with a big kitchen, and really has everything you could possibly need. Really, really great all around.Two very small downsides are that there are only three bedrooms and three baths, which is great, but given the massive size of the house, it would be have been awesome to have one more of each of those for a larger party. Also, the house sits just across the street from water access, so the kayaking options are not as great as other homes I've stayed at in the area.Still, all in all, it's a great place which was kept immaculately. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic Getaway!

We really enjoyed this home! It was comfortable, spaced out nicely, and so clean! The kitchen was spacious and fully decked out. The hot tub was used every night and the instructions for the high-tech tablet were very user friendly. Plus Cathrine was very quick to respond to our questions. My oldest boy loved the basketball court out back, and the guys used the dock out front every day to fish. The movie theater was a huge hit, and fun to watch the Final Four games with popcorn from the fancy popping machine! Crystal River has a very relaxed vibe, and we enjoyed eating by the river at both Crackers and Tipsy Tarpon which are very close to the house. Great hiking and boating in this area. We highly recommend this home to everyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend! Thanks, Cathrine.

Fantastic family vacation

We had a superb stay at this luxurious home! The pool was ideal for my kids and the hot tub was wonderful for the grown-ups. The ping pong table and indoor movie theater were major hits for all. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed for family dinners, and the place was immaculate with no hurricane damage. Highly recommend!!

Relaxing oasis with plenty of space for all

We came with our three grown children & partners plus an infant. We had plenty of space to gather together as well as spread out to do our own things. The kitchen was well stocked and large so we could have many folks cooking at once and the grill outside is massive! Perfect for grilling the fish we caught. The cinema room was awesome especially since we were here during a rare Florida cold snap! Still enjoyed the hot tub, basketball hoop and the neighborhood, so private and lovely. Cathrine our host was extremely responsive and quite helpful to assist with any issues and recommendations for how to enjoy the property. Thank you and we will be back again sometime (hopefully soon!)

Beautiful property and an amazing host! This house allowed my blended family of 4 kids, to each have a friend accompany them for the weekend. We had 8 kids, ranging from 9-17 years old, and two adults under one roof and we never felt cramped. We had so much fun. The only set back was the hot tub was out of commission but Catherine sent sent someone out immediately the part had to be special ordered. o be ordered.

Awesome place to gather with family!

This home exceeded expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. We came together as a family from different spots. Plenty of room for our 8 and new infant. Put the boat at the dock for scalloping during the weekend. When not on the water, had a great time at the large pool, epic pin-pong, basketball, college football in the movie room and kayaking. So much to do. No worries here regardless of age of all the guests. Great communication with owner. She made sure we had everything we needed and was easy to work with. Highly recommend this spot.

A Crystal River gem!

Cathrine’s property is stunning! It is has every amenity you could ever want or need. It is very private and secluded while still being close to many attractions and stores. We had so much fun hanging out by the pool, playing ping pong and basketball, watching movies in the movie theater, grilling and taking our boat out. It truly feels like your own private resort! Check in and check out was seamless and communication with the host was effortless. We can’t wait to stay here again!
