Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Even though it rained most of our days in Crystal River, we had a great time! This house had everything needed to ensure a pleasant stay from a well stocked kitchen to plenty of kayaks for our entire family! It’s a well decorated house, and there were many indoor and outdoor games for all ages to enjoy. Great location!

Perfect getaway!

This was a long weekend trip for us and all I can say is that we all wished we could have stayed longer. We have stayed in multiple rentals and this was in the top few as far as cleanliness, responsiveness of host, and well stocked property. Tina is an amazing host, very responsive and literally has thought of everything for her guests to be comfortable and relaxed! Beautiful property and location, the porch was my favorite spot! It is also perfectly located to shops, restaurants, dive tours, etc. We even had a dolphin encounter in the canal! Clean, spacious, beautiful home! If you are going to Crystal River, do not hesitate to book this property! We would definitely stay again. Thank you Tina!

Quick getaway

We made the trip just for a manatee tour, and this home made it perfect. It has everything you could need aside from the food you want to eat. Plenty of games, the perfect outdoor environment to relax, the dock is beautiful to fish from and the kayaks kept us busy whenever we weren’t out doing other things. The location is 5 min from hunters springs park and many kayak, manatee and scallop tours, but also 5 min from and store you could need. The cleanest rental I have ever stayed in!

First class all the way!

We had a great stay at this amazing property! This home is spacious, immaculately clean, and had even MORE amenities than shown in the listing. Kayak trips reminded me of the "real" Florida, at peace in nature, including an up close encounter withy a family of otters... WOW! We have been using VRBO for several years and this was the most comfortable and enjoyable of all! We will be back!

Swimming with the manatees

My family and I had a pleasant time at this house! The house was clean and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Tina was in contact with us ahead of and throughout our stay which made for a smooth process start to finish.We came to the area to see and swim with the manatees. Within 10 minutes drive you can be at Three Sisters Springs and depending on the day see 100 manatees from land!

Absolutely AMAZING house and host

Tina (the host) was so very helpful on our trip, recommending places to kayak and see the manatees as well as other questions we had. Her house was absolutely perfect for us...4 adults and 4 kids. The screened in porch is heaven along with the kayaks available for use by renters. The house is warm and inviting while having lots of space for everyone. The kitchen is fully stocked. I have rented many homes and this one is the best!!!!

Great Property on the Water

My extended family stayed for a week over Christmas. The property is in a great location to enjoy the area - swimming with manatees, boating, fishing, airboats, hiking and sightseeing. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking family meals. You can fish right off the dock. The house also has indoor and outdoor games. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and paddling down the river. We would gladly stay at this property again.

Stellar in every way!

This property was perfect for our Family/Friends 8 adults. Tina was very responsive and the house was stocked with anything you would need. From the ice maker to the kitchen gadgets. The dock and access ability was a boater's dream. You can launch at Crystal River water sports which is a short ride to the house. You can kayak and paddle board in the canal and enjoy the fire pit at night. This was perfect for our needs and we booked it again for next year. Thank you Tina for a wonderful stay.
