Hidden Gem in Crystal River
My husband and I planned a getaway to Crystal River, and I found the perfect getaway for us!! This little hidden gem is awesome!! We both love nature, and this beautiful spot has become our new favorite area. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable, and Wade and April were wonderful to us. We highly recommend this little hidden gem for a back to nature and romantic getaway.

Nice place
We enjoyed our stay! The only thing that was lacking was a few more kitchen utensils. We tried to make brownies and the unit had no measuring cups and had frozen pizza one night and no pizza cutter. Other than that was a very nice place for 2 people.

Quiet stay
Clean, quiet place close enough to what we needed like grocery and restaurants. We enjoyed walking and birdwatching, fishing and boating. We will be back some time. Loved sitting on the porch and watching the marsh.

Magical Manatee Getaway
We have a lovely time staying at Sawgrass Landing. The rental was gorgeous and everything I had expected. April was great with checking in with us and letting us know what to expect before the trip. I would not mind to rent from her again.

Crystal River Experience
We had a wonderful time in Crystal River. The Bungalow was everything we expected. Everyone staying there was friendly. It's very quiet and laid back with pool and right on water for easy access. Close to everything from 3 Sisters Spring to the beach access and restaurants.

Perfect place for the 2 of us
Condo was the perfect place for us to stay. It was clean, cute, comfortable and super convenient!! We were only minutes from stores, restaurants and the outdoor excursions we came to experience. The fact that the back porch faces the grasses was a bonus because it provides privacy.

Crystal River Getaway
The property is very nice and in a good location. It is very close to the Gulf of Mexico and many other nearby towns. The marsh off the deck needs clearing out so water could flow in off the inlet. You don't have to leave the property for lots of birdwatching.
