Lovely Canal Home in Crystral River

This house was wonderful! It was so inviting we felt like we were at home! It was very well equipped and we didn't need anything that wasn't provided. We didn't get to use the water, but there was a great boat lift and kayaks in the garage. We will definitely stay here again if it is available!

Fabulous

Beautiful property on the water. Lovely light filled lounge with comfortable sofas and two screened balconies with good seating. Exceptionally well equipped inside and out. Communication with Charity, our host, was amazing and she went above and beyond to make everything exceptional. Great at any time but even more amazing in the aftermath of two major storms.

Great Vacation and Rental Home

We truly enjoyed our stay here and plan to come back! This vacation rental is in a great location and is very clean. Communication was great from start to finish with the rental owner. We enjoyed swimming with manatees, plenty of dolphin watching and ate at some very yummy restaurants. Highly recommend staying here!

Great Experience and Accommodations

Myself, my father and my father-in-law wanted to come explore Crystal River and the fishing available in the area. We were looking for a house with good dock access primarily (in case we wanted to come back with our boat). We were fishing two days with Hang 'Em High Sportfishing and the house ended up being the perfect spot between the Shrimp Landing Marina and town. The neighborhood was quiet and the house furnishings were all nice and cozy. We had no issues. Communication with the property manager was easy and the check-in/out process was smooth. We would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Crystal River.

The property was just as advertised on VRBO. It exceeded expectations for location and quality. Communication with the host was phenomenal. A really nice part of the property was all the outdoor patio space that was actually screened. The fire pit was a nice touch.

Crystal River vacation home

This property is great for a relaxing getaway on the canals, but still close enough to town for supplies and restaurants. We enjoyed the great outdoor space & 3 balconies. The floor plan of the house was perfect for our family ( 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms- luxurious master bathroom) great Wi-Fi, ample amenities, clean, comfy beds, and Charity the hostess was wonderful. She genuinely cares about the safety and well being of her guests.

Loved it so much we extended our stay!

Charity was a fabulous host and made our stay that much better! We loved the home and the layout we especially enjoyed the early hours of the morning, watching the sun rise, and the myriad of birds through what we called Bird Alley, the waterway behind the home. it was truly beautiful and a rare experience for nature lovers who are not used to the wildlife of Florida. The home had a great location for being close to everywhere we wanted to go in Crystal River.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars

Beautiful, spacious waterfront home. Plenty of empty drawers/cabinets to make yourself at home. Homeowner, Charity, was very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The weather was cold when we stayed, but we noticed lots of fun things to play with in better weather (kayaks, bikes, hammocks, fire pit, chaise loungers, giant connect 4 & jenga, etc.) There were also board games & puzzles inside, which we enjoyed.Everything was in good condition, clean, and well cared for. Wish I could give more than 5 stars, especially for cleanliness - things looked freshly painted and/or brand-new.Beautiful gas stove, and new, easy-to-operate washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Nice laundry supplies and toiletries were provided.Had brief interaction with next-door neighbor, who was very friendly.Very highly recommend this home.
