We had an amazing stay, the beds were extremely comfortable, was 10 min to the place we went to see the manatee’s, everything is with-in 5 to 10 mins. The hot tub was nice and refreshing and the backyard was nice also with the Spanish oak trees with moss. The neighborhood was quiet, and a nice walk in mornings with your coffee. Thanks Laurie Todd for an amazing week.
This property was everything we needed. The house was clean and tidy without being sparse or empty. The manatee theme was lovely and wasn't overdone or cheesy. I felt cozy and at home all the time. We appreciated the privacy in the back yard and the hot tub was incredible for the cooler nights. The kitchen was well-equipped, and us coffee snobs much appreciated the inclusion of a French press in addition to the Keurig ;) All in all, this place was a wonderful home base for our manatee excursion.

About the host
Hosted by Laurie Todd
My husband and I love to travel in our motorhome. We also like to travel by cruising, Airbnb and visiting family.
We purchased our home here in Crystal River Florida to have a home base near family. When we aren’t renting we spend time with family and friends.
When we are renting we are in our Motorhome, which is located on our property in a location that will not cause a problem with privacy.
We have been Super hosts on Airbnb for a year and have enjoyed every minute.
