We had a fantastic time, the place had all the basics and we loved how close it was to the dock. We were even able to paddle about a mile up to 3 sisters springs to snorkel with manatees! The hosts were responsive whenever we had questions!

The location next to the water was amazing. The convenience of having kayaks to take out to the water was so cool because the manatees were practically right outside the house. The house itself was so nice and comfortable. Highly recommend this stay!

The house was so bright and clean. It had everything one would need for a stay. The hosts were so wonderful and communicative. Rarely do I desire to return to the same place for a vacation, but I would 100% rent this house again for another trip. I really enjoyed the cozy reading area and all the books and games, 10/10 would recommend

The house was excellent, I didn’t get to cook but the Kitchen was incredible, new everything! The host provides kayaks which was the selling point for me. The location is 1 mile from Three Sisters Springs. We kayaked in and saw dozens of manatee. Host was on point with communication. Excellent trip, saved for another visit!

This was the perfect house for a stay in Crystal River. It had everything we needed, including kayaks. It was convenient to the water—only a block to the community dock/boat launch. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the indoor and outdoor spaces were inviting. The neighborhood was quiet and yet close to everything. Burke was friendly and very accommodating. He answered every message within minutes. I highly recommend this river home.

Communication with owner was quick. The home is cozy and has everything you need. It is located 3 min walking distance from the dock where you can put kayaks in and head straight to the springs right around the corner. Kayaks, paddle, life jackets, etc is all provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our short getaway. We will visit again.

We had a very good stay. Communication was great, check-in and out easy. Nice large property with close proximity to Crystal River, Hermossasa, etc. There's a beach about 8 miles away that was a real treat. Recommended.

Be aware that the floors are Terrazo tile and is very cold. We would have liked to adjust the thermostat higher on cold days but couldn’t override the thermostat. Couches are vinyl and worn out and the seats too deep for short people. Porch furniture cushions are also worn out. Kitchen, bathroom and location are great.

Thank you for the review and rating. We are glad you enjoyed your stay while house hunting in Crystal River. The Terrazo floors came with the home and are one of the features that most guests love. We do apologize that the weather was a bit on the chilly side during your stay. Our HVAC company recommended that we set limits on the heating and air. We could have modified that had we known it was a problem. Also, thank you for the note you left and we are so glad that Daisy the dog enjoyed her stay. We had no clue that you were traveling with a pet.
