Perfect home

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. My husband and I love it so much. It’s located near center of town but on a quiet dead end street. The house is fenced which is great since we try to always travel with our dog. The home is impeccably clean. The bed is perfect which is rare because I have a bad back and husband does not so usually one of us is happy with the bed and the other isn’t but here that is not the case. The owner is VERY kind and accommodating. She has made a lot of upgrades and even at this visit, she continues to make improvements. You would not go wrong with this home and we will be back again.

Amazing house!

My husband and I love this home. The listing is 100% accurate. This home has everything. The location gives you a far from town feel while being close to town. This house is stocked with everything you may have forgotten. The back yard is a nice size and the fact that it’s fenced in is perfect for our dog. The house impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating. We come to Crystal River often, and this is our new go to house we will want to continue to stay at.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Forrest Small

While visiting family in Florida, we fell in Love with Crystal River and all that it has to offer as well as surrounding communities. We were amazed by both the fresh water and saltwater opportunities for the outdoorsman. Quickly we noticed the "sleepy town" of Crystal River works so hard to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The countless parks, trails, and friendly community was like no other we have visited in Florida before. Recognizing the need to be closer to family in Florida, we purchased our "2nd Home", already creating memories for our family of 5. Recognizing that quality homes close to many of the attractions in the area are not plentiful, nor are hotel accommodations, we decided to share our private oasis with you.

Why they chose this property

The Crystal Mermaid was the perfect name for our little home, nestled on a private lot in a neighborhood with other homeowners. Just minutes from the eclectic downtown Crystal River, offering dining, shopping, coffee houses, and museums. So close to Pete's Pier, and other public boat ramps for the fisherman, and the amazing Springs in the Area where you can actually swim with the manatees. Our family scalloped for the first time in this year and now know what all the excitement is about!. As a scallop lover I thought I had tasted the best, UNTIL we scalloped with Captain John Beach with Allure Outfitters, cleaned our shellfish, and had them cooked for us at local establishment. Need I say more? We were hooked on the area and hope you will be too!

What makes this property unique

Crystal River offers warm Gulf Water, spring fed rivers, swimming and snorkeling with manatees. Lakes, rivers , bays and more, there is something for everyone. Don't fish? Try the great golf courses around, hike through unspoiled forests, cycle on top rated trails, relax in our humble oasis, recently renovated and waiting for you to relax after a full day of discovery of this unique Florida city Crystal River.
