From the minute we checked in and Michelle greeted us, we knew we picked the right spot! Since it’s quiet season, they were able to upgrade our room to double balcony oceanfront. It felt like we were right over the beach! Very clean rooms and facilities. We were visiting my nephew who goes to school at DSC and the valet guys were so accommodating, allowing us to leave the car out front for a few hours here and there without charging us the parking fee. Sore isl shout out to Dom from valet. The pool area was great and we loved the tiki bar (shout out to Doug the bartender!) he even gave me a special drink for my bday!!! They give s’mores kits at night to use at the pool side fire pits too! When we come back to visit, we will definitely rebook at the Shores!!!

Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge

4.5/5(145 reviews)

Explore the lovely green spaces of Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and enjoy the boating in Crystal River. Amble around the area's riverfront or seek out the local tours.

Located on the West Coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, this beautiful 50 year old luxury resort is surrounded by the natural springs of King's Bay. This bay and Crystal River are home to more than 400 West Indian Manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. This shot of the tree-line reflected on the water was taken from the Gazebo on the small peninsula off of the pool area. A nice place to wind up with your date or spouse and some champagne and strawberries. #treetrove
