Perfect launch point for Crystal River

Clean and comfortable, with plenty of room. Kitchen fully equipped and we enjoyed kayaking right off the property! Perfect launch point for snorkeling with the manatees in Crystal River!

Fishing Tournament Weekend.

I stayed at this property with a few friends for a fishing tournament in Crystal River. Everything at the home was just as advertised and the owner was quick to communicate and assist his guests. The home is close to the heart of Crystal River and is very well set up for fishermen. The home has its own boat ramp and dock, so we were able to do everything from the house and skip the craziness at the local boat ramps. I would absolutely return and stay again.

Another Amazing stay @ Phil's waterfront home

This was our 2nd time staying here for scalloping season and while the scallops were lacking, the accommodations weren't. Nice home, had everything we needed, the dock and the ramp worked great for our 24' center console boat, and Phil was an excellent host. See you Again next year!

Great house, great setting!

The property is exactly as listed - clean, airy, comfortable and scenic. The check-in was effortless and we could not have asked for a nicer place to stay! My only regret was that we were only there for one night, it would have been a great getaway for much longer. Thank you!

Crystal River Getaway

The property was in a quiet location along the river. Really enjoyed sitting on the dock and kayaking. It was close to restaurants and anything that you would want to do in Crystal River. Very clean and up-to-date. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Retreat

Our trip to Crystal River was spectacular, thanks to this fantastic house. It was well-stocked, and the four kayaks were a highlight. Kayaking to the river's mouth and seeing a manatee and baby alligator was unforgettable. The location was perfect, just a short drive to downtown. The house was in a quiet, safe area, ideal for relaxing. An early morning dive with Fun2Dive was an amazing part of our trip too—ask for Sarah! Highly recommend!

Perfect location

Every year our group of friends goes to Crystal River to go scalloping and this place was perfect for us. We take our John boats up and the owner was very accommodating allowing us to park our boats and trucks on the spacious property. The private boat launch was very convenient, and made it easy to hit the water without dealing with the headache of using the public ramp. Although most of our time is spent enjoying the springs and gulf, we enjoyed the tranquility of the property. The home itself was beautiful and clean, we plan to book again.
