About this property

Waterfront 3-2 Home Pool, Pet Friendly, & Ice Machine

This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath canal front home which is perfect for a family getaway. It sleeps 10 people at an affordable price with lots of amenities to make you feel more like our house guests than vacation renters!

The house has an open concept kitchen, dining room and sunken living room. The kitchen is fully stocked so plan to make some great meals to eat at the large dining room table, the breakfast nook or poolside. If you prefer to grill, the “grill master” can choose to use the large flat top gas grill or the smaller charcoal grill.

There is a split bedroom arrangement. The master bedroom has a king size bed and sliding glass doors leading to the pool. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third has a bunk bed with a full mattress on the bottom and a twin mattress on the top. There is a full mattress under the bed that can be pulled out if needed. The closet is stocked with toys and games so we like to call this the “kids room.”

The private solar heated pool (chilly during winter months) is enclosed by a spacious lanai with ample seating for the whole family to eat, sunbathe, watch the kids swim or read a good book. If the night is a little chilly you can sit by the fire in the separate outdoor patio.

After you launch your boat from the public boat ramp across the street, it’s only a short ride to the canal where you’ll find the dock and floating dock. Fill your beverage & fish coolers with ice from our 250lb ice machine and you're on your way. Please note that the canal can get shallow during low tide but I was able to easily maneuver my 27’ boat to the deeper water.

Restaurants, shopping and the historical town are just a few minutes away. Crystal clear springs, nature trails and parks are close by for the outdoor lovers.

This is where you want to stay in the summertime for some great scalloping, the winter time to see the manatees and to escape the cold if you’re snowbirds and all year long for some phenomenal fishing!

Please contact me for long term rental and discount pricing depending on length of stay.

This was the most well-stocked Vrbo I have ever stayed at. The Host had thought of everything that might be needed for a perfect Florida vacation. Loved the pool and colored lights at night . Launched the kayaks and paddle board right off the dock . Great location and were able to go scalloping and redfish fishing in nearby Ozello

Great place to stay. My husband and I ran almost everyday. Our family had pickle ball tournaments at nearby courts. My son played tennis at other courts. My kids went fishing in the kayaks every day and grilled the fish on the Blackstone. We also saw two Manatee while we were out paddle boarding and the boys saw dolphins out on the river. The house was as advertised and had everything we needed. The owner was quick to reply with all questions. Thanks for the stay!

The house was beautiful. There was animal fur tuffs still left behind from previous guest. The kitchen pots and pans needed to be replaced (not safe to cook in) due to huge gauges in the Teflon. We bought two new skillets for the house and left them for other guest to use in the future. The Keurig coffee maker broke the first time using it. Aside from the kitchen cookware, everything else was great! The host was very nice and responded very quickly and was very helpful. The pool was awesome! A skimmer net would have been nice to skim the surface and get a few bugs out. Overall we had a great time .

Thank you for the feedback! We will inform our cleaner about the pet evidence. I have also ordered a new pot/pan set. The Keurig was replaced the day you checked out. We hope you come stay again in the future. Cheers

About the host

Hosted by David Schleissing

Host profile image
We grew up in Florida and currently live in High Springs which is a little over an hour from Crystal River. We’ve made many visits to Crystal River and fell in love with the area. It’s been the perfect place for a getaway to do some of our favorite things. We’ve had great times boating, scalloping, fishing, snorkeling, swimming and spending quality time with our family. Owning a house on the water was on our “bucket list” so we’re excited that we’ve been able to buy the Turtle House and can share our love of the area with others.

Why they chose this property

Crystal River has the laid back unhurried ambiance that we enjoy and we already knew we wanted to purchase a house there. The Turtle House has all the amenities we were looking for and we’re enthusiastic and excited about this new chapter in our lives.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! The house is just a few blocks off of US 19 in a small quiet neighborhood with great neighbors, the public boat ramp is across the street, the water just off the dock is a great place to kayak/ paddle board, and there’s direct gulf access via a short beautiful boat ride.
