CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a heated pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tons of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If your idea of a dream vacation is kicking back and relaxing by the pool, playing with the Manatees, morning strolls along the river, kayaking or limiting out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over. Casa Del Sol isn't just another vacation rental, it's our personal vacation home, and we feel privileged to share it with our guests.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. Our upscale neighborhood consists of several small islands just off the main river. For kayakers, we are a 30-minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide two kayaks for your use and there are rental shops within a few miles of the home. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel or gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock that will accommodate two small boats or one large. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minutes of the house. By car, we are located just off Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

In 2025, our home received an extensive remodel after Hurricane Helene. We went for a fun, upbeat Boho Chic vibe with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of crimson and teal. The home is filled with artwork from the Crystal River area creating a unique perspective on coastal living. The home boasts four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and a Queen) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aid kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it, and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our vacation. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

The home has Wi-Fi and Streaming ROKU TV.

At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight-seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from your stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Sol! The house is set up well for our group of 6. The house was very clean, pool was spotless and the floating dock was perfect for our larger 30ft center console. The kitchen was outfitted with all cookware and utensils needed. The host contacted me while on my way to the residence to give me all information needed for our stay.We couldn't have been happier with the residence and the host. If you have a boat you're bringing we highly suggest Casa Del Sol. We've made this trip for scalloping 3 years now and not having to launch the boat every boat day was a major plus. The residence is at the very back of a small inlet which stays very calm and plenty far enough away from boat wakes.We talked to multiple neighbors who we encountered walking the neighborhood and all were very nice.Thank you for helping make our vacation even better!

It offered a lovely setting alongside beautiful scenery.This vacation felt well-deserved after the kids had a great year at school and provided us with valuable time to relax and bond as a family. We look forward to creating many more memories during future stays.

Great stay in Crystal River

Cosa Del Sol is a great house in a quiet neighborhood. The house was well equipt. Teri was quick to answer any questions or concerns. We paddled to Three Sister's Springs and saw several manatees. We also had some manatees around our dock a few days. The grandkids enjoyed the playground at Kings Bay Park, and Fort Island Beach. We also explored some nearby hiking trails.

Gem of a place on the Crystal River

This home turned out to be the perfect place for our family. Spacious and thoughtfully decorated interior We rented this place for our family to experience the manatees. The home is only a very short distance from several manatee encounter outfits and the old historic downtown district. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to staying here again.

Great River access

This location is prime with respect to River access for boating. The property is clean and excellent for entertaining. The property owners are courteous and helpful. The dock is a floating type which is great for mooring your boat. You don’t have to worry about dock lines due to tide change.

A wonderful time was had by the entire family. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock every day. The house comes very well stocked with soap, paper towels, toilet paper, beach towels etc. the pictures online do not do the house justice. It is just lovely. We saw manatees almost every day off the dock and even caught some crabs. I would definitely recommend this house and plan to book here again in the future. Host was very responsive!

Beautiful house, great location for an extended family Thanksgiving

Casa del Sol is a lovely house situated directly on the water in a dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for a large group that does not mind sharing bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for meals in, including Thanksgiving (which we purchased pre-cooked from Publix), and the local restaurants we sampled were very good. We used the kayaks one day and rented a pontoon boat on another and drove it right up to the dock before heading out on the river for fishing, where we caught snapper and snook - our son also fished directly from the dock for hours, catching a bunch of catfish. We saw many manatees and a large variety of birds, both in the river and at Three Sisters Springs. I would not hesitate to visit again!

Beautiful home on the water close to all the Kings Bay Springs

Property is in very nice condition. Dock is large, we had two boats docked with no issues. Communication with owner was quick and painless. Central location to Kings Bay, marinas, Springs and the Gulf. Sea Haag Deli right down the street on Fort Florida was delicious, call ahead for lunch orders! About a 30-45 minute ride from the house to the scallop grounds. Beds are a 3.5/5. Not the best, but by far not the worst I’ve slept in. TV’s we’re easy to use. Pool was lovely and hot tub was a bonus. Big outdoor screened in space, fish cleaning table and grill all right by the screened in area. Long hose that stretched to boats for cleaning was great. Kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything you’d need. Plenty of linens and towels. Two living room spaces with tvs for families staying together or adults/kids. Overall it was a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Janice Geeding and Teri Burns

Host profile image
Where would we ever begin to tell someone our story. The truth be told, we are two couples, in our "golden years", who simply decided to go in together to invest in a property that we could provide for other's enjoyment and occasionally sneak away from our busy lives to enjoy ourselves. Thus began our search for a vacation rental. Having fallen in love with the Crystal River area, it looked like a perfect place for our vacation rental adventure to unfold. So, in February of 2015, we began a quest to find a home that would meet our needs as well as the needs of our guests.

Knowing the value of a great location, the property had to be well situated just of the main channel in Crystal River. It also had to have a pool, at least three bedrooms, a dock and a garage. We believe we found the perfect home with Casa Del Sol. With a little finesse and our special attention to detail, we knew it would not only meet our requirements but exceed them. From the moment you walk into your vacation rental, it is our sincere desire that you feel this way too. We hope you visit often and enjoy your stay at Casa Del Sol!

Why they chose this property

Location is everything at Crystal River and this home is perfectly situated - close to everything Crystal River has to offer - just off the main channel with good water and no bridges to either the Gulf or Kings Bay. It is located half-way between the gulf and the restaurants and Springs. It will complete your check off list of wants. It offers: Four Fishing Kayaks. A 24-foot dock which easily accommodates two boats and a fish cleaning station with running water. Everything is new, clean and bright with a fun tropical flair. Wildlife is abundant - with Manatees right at our dock. The neighborhood is safe, clean and quiet. A great area for evening and morning walks or bike riding.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Sol is just 5 houses from our other home - Casa Del Rio - VRBO #902267. Rent both homes for family get-togethers and reunions. Enjoy Casa Del Sol's fun, boho chic vibe, screened pool and deep-water dock one day and Casa Del Rio's sophisticated, relaxing atmosphere, outdoor kitchen and beautiful canal setting the next day. It's the best of both worlds.
