Quick girlfriend getaway to Crystal River

Lovely property, convenient to everywhere! Pool just outside the door and dock just beyond the pool. Even though there are only 2 bedrooms there was PLENTY of sleeping space for our group of 6. Super soft sheets, adequate # of towels, and everything we needed in the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

One of our fav places!

The home had everything we needed plus more. The beds were comfy. The heated pool was a hit! It was located perfectly close but not too close to town, restaurants, ice cream places. The hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable. Went above and beyond a normal host that we have come in contact with.

Nice place, not for fishing enthusiasts.

Property and owners were very nice, boat dock was very cluttered, plus boat lift was inoperable. Canal is very shallow. Our boat stayed on trailer in lot across the street. House was very well stocked and holiday decorations were all about the house.

House with everything

We spent a week in this lovely home equipped with every amenity. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need even on the first night of your arrival. The little touches (bath soaps, shampoos, etc.) are more indicative of a B &B than a house rental. One can spend a day looking at all of the interesting beach-centered wall art. We especially noted how many wall sockets are in the house in this age of needing to re-charge devices. We are a couple in our 70’s, who enjoyed the view of the canal from the patio without a pressing need to go out and explore; the house is much larger than our needs now. There is adequate space and activity (fishing, crabbing, kayaking) for two couples or two families to share this spaciously designed house. Linda and Dan are more than accommodating, and will answer your every question about the home or the area.

Some issues with the property

Overall the house was beautiful and really large and in a great location. We just had some bad luck really. When we got there the home smelled like urine. So we had to open it all up and call the property manager. They gave us some air freshener and said it should go away. It never did, when we had to close the place up because of weather, it came back. It was in a central location by the 1/2 bath. Then when it rained, the septic backed up into the shower and all the toilets and we had to call them again. We couldn't take showers, do laundry, anything really for a whole day. They sent someone right out the next afternoon. The pool really is not warm enough when the weather isn't hot out, that is no ones fault, just FYI.

Great Place

We were two couples and spent the week here. Great house that has everything you could possibly need. The pool is perfect and has a solar heater that keeps it just the right temp. Great place of you own a boat as it has a working boat lift and dock. Really can’t say enough about how clean and open the house is!

Awesome place! A few things to note…

So clean! I felt like I was staying at my favorite Aunt’s house. You know, the one who was on Golden Girls. Classic, classy, Florida style. The mauve bathroom in the master is coming back in style! Note: “4 car driveway” = one Ford F-250. Boat dock and boat lift work great. No trailer parking. We used the empty lot across the street for trailer and additional truck. Didn’t have permission, but didn’t get in trouble either. Pool-it’s a Little Dipper! 20 ft by 7 ft, 6 foot deep. It was just fine for us. Just don’t expect a big pool.

Good Find

Great place. Pool, dock, kitchen and amenities were perfect for our group of 6. Everything all of us needed to be comfortable and enjoy a great few days stay. Throwing it out, neighbors seem to not like the house being a VRBO but we didn’t let that bother us. That’s just our thoughts, nothing happened just sensed it. Wouldn’t have changed the time spent and appreciate the stay! We had a blast. Would book again.

Week of the 4th

We had a great 5 days at this home. Relaxing out on the dock watching manatees, sitting by the pool. Taking the boats out to scallop. Going to the springs. Property owners were nice, and live in the same neighborhood. Neighborhood is very quiet. Dock was big enough for 2 boats. An overall good experience.
