This was our "Home" for the entire month of February and it could not have been nicer. Absolutely everything that we could possibly need had been provided. Maria and Victor are amazing hosts, often checking to see if there's anything that we need. They even noticed we could use some recliners for lying in the sun and had them delivered. The neighborhood is quiet private and beautiful. The hot tub is wonderful. The beds are wonderful. We can't wait to go back.
Just a few minutes up the road, take the Elvis Presley Follow That Dream Parkway to a glorious sunset. He made a movie there and while filming stayed on Kings Bay in Crystal River.

Maria was an exceptional host with outstanding communication from booking through checkout. The home was spotless, beautifully organized, and by far the most well-appointed vacation rental we’ve stayed in. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and clearly labeled, making everything easy to find and use.The house was spacious, peaceful, and perfectly in tune with nature — wonderfully quiet with no traffic noise. It was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, plus so many thoughtful extras that set it apart: makeup mirrors in the bathrooms, Q-tips and cotton balls, wireless phone chargers, coffee and creamer, laundry soap, pen and paper, and an excellent high-end Monument grill.The back yard was very large, private and a peaceful escape.Maria has truly created a first-class experience and truly cares about your experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crystal River.

This is a pet friendly, family place! The back yard is huge and has space for dogs to run and children as well. The house is clean and stocked with essentials. The game room is where we watched football while grilling outback and playing pool. The kitchen has everything including a cast iron skillet! We really enjoyed our time here! Host was very fast with responding and helpful. I look forward to staying here again.

This house had EVERYTHING we could have needed and was beautifully decorated. I especially appreciated all the towels and hangars. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of comfortable seating. Our favorite part of the house was the screened in porch! We spent mornings there having coffee surrounded by the sounds of birds. In the evenings we enjoyed a dip in the hot tub while we listened to the breeze in the trees. It was delightful. We spent most of our time out here. The property is very private and secluded. Maria, our host, has so helpful and attentive. We have never been to Crystal River and had a wonderful time exploring the town - we did a boat tour, lots of hikes/walks, shopping and eating at local restaurants!!

Our stay was fantastic! The house itself was wonderfully decorated and stocked, very clean and comfortable. The porch, large yard, and game room were a huge hit with the kids. Maria was extremely responsive and provided a great list of amenities nearby. The house was close enough to lots of our activities, but settled in a very quiet neighborhood. The kids got a real kick out of the wild turkeys roaming through the yard! Overall was a great experience!

About the host

Hosted by Maria V Olmedo

Host profile image
With years in the hospitality industry, I’ve learned that the little details truly make all the difference. I created Crystal River Oaks Retreat as a fun, relaxing space where you can unwind, reconnect, and feel completely at ease.

Whether you’re grilling under the gazebo, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying the peaceful oak-shaded surroundings, or spending time in the game room, my goal is for your stay to feel effortless, comfortable, and memorable. I also love welcoming your furry friends, because they deserve a getaway too!

Hosting is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in making every stay feel personal and thoughtfully prepared.

I hope to welcome you soon! – Maria 🌿

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this neighborhood for its peaceful vibe, big beautiful trees, and unbeatable access to everything Crystal River has to offer. It’s just minutes from boat ramps, springs, and local favorites—but still tucked away enough to relax, unwind, and spot a few deer in the backyard. It’s the perfect mix of nature, fun, and convenience!

What makes this property unique

Crystal River Oaks Retreat is your own private escape under the oaks, peaceful, relaxing, and just minutes from the springs and downtown. Many guests say they wish they had booked a longer stay… and some say they never want to leave.

People consistently rave about how spotless, organized, and thoughtfully stocked everything is, especially the fully equipped kitchen with clearly labeled cabinets that make your stay effortless from the start.

Spend your days exploring the springs or unwinding with coffee on the screened-in lanai, then ease into the evening with a soak in the hot tub. As night falls, gather to grill under the gazebo, enjoy the game room, and end the day making s’mores around the fire pit under the stars.

With a spacious yard, beautiful natural surroundings, and a pet-friendly welcome, it’s a place designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and making lasting memories.
