We had a great time staying at this house. It was clean, well stocked with everything you would need, and the view is amazing. The host was very responsive. The Vrbo app led us to the wrong address about 10 minutes away, but the host quickly gave us the right one. We would definitely recommend this property.
Great place to stay for our visit to see the manatees. Quick drive to all the locations we wished to visit, home was well stocked and beautifully decorated.
This home was perfect for our family getaway! Plenty of bedrooms (such comfortable beds) and space to spread out and come together to enjoy our week away. Plenty of nature and fun things to do in the area!
I really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The house itself is very well laid out and the decor is wonderful. This home had everything we needed.We will be coming back!
The property and house are beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the kayaks and fishing with the beautiful view. It is close to all main attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Host was quick to respond when needed. Wonderful trip and thank you!
So clean, safe, comfortable, and picturesque. Hosts were immediately responsive when the directions in the app took us to the wrong address. Other than that, the stay was ideal. Beds were comfortable and everything we needed was furnished.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. House was perfect for our stay, we brought our own boat, was able to keep behind house, house was fully equipped. I would recommend- beautiful view from back porch. Quiet neighborhood.
We had a great time at your property. Having the kayaks and being able to fish right off the deck was fantastic and kept everyone happy. The goats are great and provide everything.
The house was delightfully decorated and very clean. We enjoyed our stay and we hope to return in the future! The hosts were well organized , very pleasant and welcoming!
Quiet. Loved watching sunrise over the marshes, and bird watching. The house is well cared for, and comfortable. The master bath is amazing. Enjoyed the kayaks.
Property is awesome! If you’re looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy FL this is it! Clean, neat, well put together, and very comfortable. Owner is fantastic with communication and very helpful. My family and I are trying to plan are next trip back! It was worth it and thankful for the chance to stay at this property.
This vacation home is very nice, clean, well appointed as advertised. Owner communication was excellent. It was perfect reunion spot for our multi-state family. Highly recommend! Plenty of great things to do in Crystal River too. Hope to stay there again in the future.
Four of us used the Estuary House as a hub while visiting our parents nearby. One of us is a bird nerd who loved birdwatching from the back deck. Crystal River is the place to go for manatee viewing. We also took a day trip to Sarasota for strolling along its white sandy beaches. We found the house clean, quiet and relaxing. Host responded quickly to all inquiries.
We had a great time with family. We spent most of our time going to the beach and the various springs. We saw many manatees, which was a real thrill. Beautiful home. I watched the sunrise from the deck every morning. Such a peaceful way to start the day.
