This was very pleasant for a full family to have lots of space, comfort and plenty of entertainment. It's located on the end of a canal so there is no current and it's safe for children. We would recommend it!

Beautiful well kept property close to King Spring where the manatees hang. We brought our boat and tied up at the floating dock. Fires in the pit every night. So peaceful.! Host Daniel is very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

What a splendid place to stay!
This house is perfectly situated in Crystal River to go see the Manatees, the parks, the places to eat and other items of interest. Nicely appointed with colorful pictures, comfortable furniture, and any water sport item you needed. Daniel communicated with us all the details needed and was just a phone call away just in case. We highly recommend this place and would stay here again!

Amazing!
This house was incredible for our family. It was very clean and comfortable. Getting the kayaks out and into the water was a breeze from the basement. We were able to spread out a bit, there was room to play games, and we all slept great. The kitchen was stocked with basics plus had treats left from past visitors. It made everything easy. The owner was extremely responsive and gave us great tips on things in the area. All we tried were spot on! Thank you!

Large home overlooking beautiful cove!
We had a very relaxing time sitting on the dock and enjoying the view. But the owners have a generous supply of kayaks and other adventurous activities available if desired. The water wasn’t clear enough to watch the manatees, but we saw several noses coming up for air!

Amazing home on the water!
We could not have had a better time! We brought our 23-ft center console Sea Hunt and were able to navigate in and out of the canal no problem! We had great success scalloping and the house had everything we could need! Perfect location, clean, large, and an amazing host who made our trip prefect from start to finish.

Outstanding home and amenities!
We had a group of 8 adults and found this home to be extremely comfortable. It was clean, spacious, and was stocked with outstanding amenities. We especially enjoyed the screened in patio and use of the home’s kayaks. We brought a 24 foot boat and the floating dock was perfect and convenient. Love the proximity of the house to the Plantation Inn and all of the springs. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc…everything we needed to enjoy meals at home. Loved this house and hope to return again!

Great property in a great location
Such a nice house. All beds are very comfortable. Plenty of room for a large family to spread out. Great kitchen. Fantastic screened deck. Very nice hot tub. Pool table is in great shape. 7 kayaks. Right on the water with a sizeable dock. About 15 min paddle to King Springs and the pool/bar at Plantation, 45 min paddle to Three Sister's spring. One of if not the best home we've rented in Crystal River.

Amazing Weekend
Everything about the property and the owner was amazing. We had absolutely everything we needed for a nice long weekend. The house was beautiful. The adults spent the majority of our time sitting on the screened in patio while the kids fished and played ping pong downstairs. there was a nice dining room table where we all fit comfortably for dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. We rented a boat for the weekend and loved being able to come and go as we pleased. Will definitely stay there again!

My family of four enjoyed our stay at The Opera House. The location is perfect for spending the day at any of the local springs. We saw tons of manatee, a dolphin, and a lot of other wildlife. The house was very clean with a ton of space and the dock was perfect for our boat. Thank you for an amazing spot to spend our family time.

Perfect cozy home with all you need!
Very clean and comfortable home, roomy, filled with all your needs for cooking, cleaning, fun indoors and out! We enjoyed the kayaks out on the water, easy to get to the bay and even if it’s not manatee season, we got to see a couple swim right under us! Close to all the other springs - we saw all that we wanted to and explore the beautiful natural FL all around! The kids thoroughly e enjoyed their stay - even got to ride the cute bikes in the neighborhood. What a great Spring break - enjoyed the true beauty of FL, and the house was perfect for everyone! Definitely try out Seller’s seafood nearby for huge piles of steamed clams, crawfish and crabs! So many yummy choice all around too. Can’t wait to come back!
