Host very responsive to questions. Loved being right on the water with bird symphony. Best part was kayaking from place to the bay for lunch and wildlife sightings. Especially recommend an early morning kayak to see lots of manatees and jumping tarpon. Biting gnats in the evening so helpful to bring spray. But loved the peaceful setting and would certainly stay again.

Loved everything about it from the moment we arrived. From the colors of the place to the trees across the front of the house to the trees behind the house, next to the canal. The entire little neighborhood is beautiful & peaceful. We enjoyed cycling & kayaking through it. Everything inside the home was very clean & cozy. Communication with host was very easy too. We will be back & highly recommend.

Short stay in Crystal River

A lovely property. Far better than staying in a hotel. Use of the on site kayaks to explore the area is an added bonus. I would certainly try and book again when I return to Crystal River

Cute cottage, great location near town and on the water, we really enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit. Vicki the host kept us well-informed and was friendly, even offered to let us check-in early. The cottage itself was well-decorated and had all the necessary amenities, the bed was comfortable. The price was reasonable for everything that you get. Lots of large fish swimming right off the dock. Very convenient location to town and the beach, it seemed like it was a 10-min drive everywhere we wanted to go. Definitely recommend!
