Property and amenities were exactly as described. Water access was wonderful to observe manatees. Accommodations exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed our stay and plan to return at another time.

Our stay was amazing! Everything was very clean and very organized. The home is very well furnished with all that you need to relax and enjoy a family meal.
We had a great time in the Crystal River area. Love the old Florida feel. House is a great location and loved our daily visits from Manatee. Hosts respond quickly to any questions .
This is one of the most classy and comfortable houses Ive ever stayed. Such a stunning location and beautiful sunsets from the extensive back yard. It is right on Kings Bay. I would give it 10 stars if allowed. Just excellent and I would return again. I hated to leave.
Beautiful and convenient location! Easy to get to both the manatees and Rainbow River, plus lots of cute shops and restaurants. The house was stocked with all of the basics making a quick long weekend trip much easier.

Loved it! Place felt homey and relaxing. Enjoyed a night by the fire. I told them how many people i had and they made sure to have enough kayaks for us. Fishing off the dock with some visitors like turtles, crabs and Manatee.
Very clean great open area inside where we cooked family meals and had a great time visiting and relaxing! We fished off the dock and kayaked to the Three Sisters spring which is beautiful. What a great family vacation and memories!
The house was very clean and everything was just as described in the listing. Would definitely book this place again. The instructions from the host was very clear and informative. Great place and great hosts!
Third time staying at this home and once again it did not disappoint. Beautiful home in perfect location, especially if you are a boater. Great amenities including firewood and charcoal for the grill. We will be booking again.

We’re truly grateful for your kind words and continued stays with us! Having you back for the third time means the world to us. You always take such wonderful care of our home, and knowing you enjoy the space and location keeps us excited to host. We can’t wait to welcome you again soon!
The place was amazing. I don't think it was quite finished with the renovation. I'm sure once it is the few issues we had will be resolved. Lots of fun!

We’re thrilled you loved the house and had a great stay. You were wonderful guests, left the home in perfect shape, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Beautiful place, convenient location, easy water access with kayaks onsite, fire pit stocked with firewood, and great communication from hosts!We saw tons of manatees, were able to kayak to restaurants and all the nearby springs, located in the middle of multiple parks and beaches, and hiking/biking trail right down the road. We will certainly book again!
This get away property was perfect. The lay out of the house, kitchen design, and outstanding backyard including nice kayaks, fire pit, and landscape was magnificent. Communication was excellent.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and your communication made everything smooth from start to finish. Guests like you are why we host. We’d love to host you again for your next escape to the water!
Best experience! Super clean, super helpful, went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Wood furnished for fire pit, kayaks...loved the whole experience!
Best property we have ever stayed at! Fantastic amenities. There was a manatee in the canal next to the dock the last day we stayed there. Truly magical location. The hosts are well organized and communicative.

This is a great review. Thank you, appreciate you. Glad to hear about the manaatees hanging out near the dock, they sleep right in the areas near the docks at night fall and out pretty early. Tailor & Deb
