We booked this house last minute for a staycation with friends and our families. It was amazing; from the owners to the cleaning crew and everything in between! It was just as described, if not better! We scalloped in the morning and went to the springs in the afternoon. The boat ramp isn’t far from the house and it was convenient to be able to just jump right in the boat from the house and go! 10 out of 10, highly recommend! We had 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids and there was enough room for all! We will definitely be booking again.

Had a wonderful time at this perfect Crystal River getaway! Owners were super prompt with replies and very helpful answering questions! The home was super clean and had everything we needed. When we checked in we were greeted with fresh baked cookies and homemade dog treats for our pup. Our daughters loved the bunk beds in the second bedroom! Also was very convenient to get in and out of the water with their boat life and dock! We will most definitely be coming back!!!!!

Adorable house in Crystal River on the water!

This was a great location in Crystal River, it was a clean house with plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, extra seasonings for food, laundry detergent, and extra shampoo/conditioner. Outside it had a grill, boat lift, dock, and scallop/fish cleaning station. I stayed here with my parents and husband and we really enjoyed the house. It had an owners manual outlining everything we would need to know about the house and recommendations for food and activities to do in the area. The beds were comfortable and both bedrooms had a floor fan, individual AC, and ceiling fans. This house in total could sleep 8-10 people. There is a king bed, queen bed, bunk beds, a trundle bed in the living room and a spacious couch. The owners had great communication and the housekeeper left homemade cookies for our stay that were delicious. I would highly recommend staying here!

Sportsman’s Dream location.

Property was beyond clean and over the top stocked. Boat ramp was just down the street and the floating deck and outside deck area are all new and well kept. Car parking was covered. Dishes, pots, pans etc were in new condition and well stocked. If you want to walk in and catch up on rest a relaxation or go chase fish or scallops this is the place. Owner was easy to talk with and a fantastic host. We travel and rent often…10/10 rated.

We had an amazing long weekend stay in this beautiful house. The floating dock made it very comforting and convenient for our 27ft boat. Our 2 dogs had a great time on the dock and grass backyard to lounge, very dog friendly. The house had plenty of room, cool AC, extra linens, very clean and upgraded features. Check In and Out was made easy and Trevor was wonderful to communicate with via text and responds quickly. Highly recommend for adults and families with littles ones. 5 Stars

Exceptional Stay

From booking to speaking with Trevor, the owner, everything went smoothly. Home was exceptionally clean and stocked with everything needed. It was a very pleasant surprise to find that the cleaning lady left us fresh baked cookies as well left our sweet fur babies baked bones. Large ones for our Sophia and small ones for our little man Sampson. We were arriving after dark and they took time to go back and leave lights on for us. I highly recommend staying with them when traveling to Crystal River. Fishing was great I caught 13 catfish, turned them loose, so book and go catch.

Spacious, Updated Home with Great Dock Access

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Vrbo in Crystal River! The home was recently updated and everything felt fresh, clean, and spacious. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The dock and canal access were a huge plus—we loved spending time outside by the water.The location was perfect: just a short drive to several stunning natural springs and a gorgeous beach nearby. We had so much fun exploring the area, kayaking, and soaking up the sunshine.This was such a relaxing and memorable trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Crystal River area!

My Wife and I had a great time here with the boat in the back yard. The canal leads right out to the main River and is close to Kings Bay and the Gulf in the other direction. This home is completely remodeled and very nice. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. The Host, Trevor, communicated and answered any questions we had. We will stay again.. We will also recommend to friends.
