FABULOUS VACATION

This beautiful home is exactly as depicted by pictures and description. The location is perfect if you want serenity but close enough to everything if you enjoy restaurants, the outdoors, shopping etc. The homes owners Kent and Annie are really lovely people and cant do enough if you request their help. The house is super clean. We have stayed at many VRBO and have never been stocked with so many towels, toilet paper and papertowels. We stayed at Annie and Kent's home for a month and highly recommend this property.We will for sure be back!

Great Getaway Location Near The Water

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the property. We brought a boat and used it almost daily and the accessibility to the canal made that nice. My only suggestions are update some of the pictures (fire pit and master bath sink faucets were not as depicted and both were hard to take advantage of) and the sea wall definitely needs some work, as there was no functioning floating dock area to tie off to and we lost a day on the water due to low tide. Other than that, Crystal River has always been a favorite and this location provided us time to enjoy our family during Spring Break!

Large house in a great location!

The house was great for our family and another that joined for a night. We had a ton of space for the adults and kids to sleep, play and eat! Annie was great at connecting from prior to check in all the way on our checkout date. She was readily available with any questions we had. The location is amazing with a fantastic porch and front door view of the water. My girls loved sitting out there! Definitely consider this property for a future family vacation!

Thanksgiving celebration

This property was a perfect spot for our Thanksgiving family get together. Annie was a great host and communicated very effectively to ensure we had what we needed for Thanksgiving. The waterfront property was just the right size for our gathering of 7 and the location was in close proximity to stores and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this owner and property.

Manatee dream come true

House was awesome. View from front porch was amazing. Saw a mother & baby manatee in the bay right out front. Pool was fantastic for my 5 yr. old grandson. Host was fabulous to work with. Already planning a return trip. For many years I have wanted to go see the manatees in their natural habitat. I was able to do just that and more on this trip. So happy!!

About the host

Hosted by Annie M Greer

My veterinarian husband and I have owned three animal hospitals and I am a radio host and author. My early years were spent living in hotels, and that inspires me to always to provide the best in service to guests. I want your stay to be memorable for the right reasons! I am English by birth but American by choice However, I will NOT give up my love for English tea and there will always be some available for any Anglophiles. As a proud Granny I want to make a family vacation as easy as possible and can provide cribs, monitors and child utensils as well as games, books and toys for down time.
Six years ago we came to Crystal River and fell so in love with it that we have even commuted back and forth to Orlando to work. The people are wonderful, the choices for restaurants and bars fabulous, but, most of all it's a place where you can switch the phone off, take a deep breath and get in tune with nature again.
Crystal River is now our permanent home so we are very much available if you need help with recommendations or anything else to make your stay more comfortable.
We have a love of fishing and scalloping and are happy to help find you a captain to help you catch your dinner.

Why they chose this property

It's everything that sums up Florida, family and vacation! We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it. Enjoy beautiful views and wonderful porches where you can so easily imagine yourself sipping early morning coffee while contemplating nature at it's best and most unspoiled. The inside is very open and spacious. The kitchen is a dream,and there are lots of private nooks and crannies where you can sneak away to read a book. The pool is enclosed in a modern screen room and has a cute little table in the pool to rest your beverages while in the water. The grounds simply scream tropical and are huge,fully fenced, and perfect to have an informal game of corn hole, horse shoes or volley ball. Talk into the night while sitting around the large fire pit before you enjoy a restful night ready for tomorrows adventures.
The property is very well placed to bring your boat, with a sea wall opposite as well as a close kayak launch.

What makes this property unique

Superb positioning on Kings Bay. Watch manatees from the front porch. Close to restaurants and amenities.
Just minutes away by car to the famous Three Sister and Hunter Springs you could also paddleboard or kyak in about thirty minutes.
Generally speaking if you wish to swim with the manatees you are best to go on one of the official tour boats which abound.
One and half hours driving to Central Florida's attractions, Tampa or the famous Gulf Shore Beaches.
The immediate area has access to the Gulf for grouper or red snapper fishing, tarpon, snook, red fish and of course scalloping. Bear in mind there are limits and regulations on all these. There are several boat ramps within minutes and you can tie up opposite the property on a sea wall.
