Safety
There is one step up to get into the house, a big "step-up" into the tub and big "step-down" out of the tub (a grab bar to assist but not to bear full weight is in place), and a step down off of the deck.
Please be mindful of the seawall. At low tide it can be a 6' or more drop off. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES IN THE BACKYARD.

PESTS
If you are visiting from out of state, Florida has pests!! Our property gets sprayed quarterly inside and out and is frequently checked for our pesky pests, but we cannot guarantee you will not encounter something inside the house. It is best to keep doors and windows closed when not in use.

Cameras
We use 2 motion activated video cameras on the outside of the house. One is in the back pointing out towards the yard and the other is near the front door pointing out towards the street. Our main reasons for this is to ensure safety of our guests and be aware of any illegal activity. It also allows us to be aware that all house services such as garbage, lawn etc.. is being maintained property.

The host thought of everything!
We had such a wonderful time on this trip! The house was wonderful, it had everthing we could possibly need and more. Super cozy and beautiful view right on the canal. We saw manatees, mullet jumping out of the water and lots of birds. The kayaks that were provided were fun and a short kayak trip to plenty of swimming areas. I loved that the host had privided fishing poles, starter for the fire, bug spray, games, sunscreen, towels and even popcorn and hot chocolate! We had a great experience and will be back for sure!

Perfect!
Everything about this VRBO is perfect. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a getaway is right there. The outside seating and deck along with the fire pit make for perfect evenings listening to music and enjoying the view. The water access is awesome! We brought our own paddleboards and enjoyed many hours in King’s Bay viewing the beautiful manatees!! Our host was incredibly friendly and very responsive. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

A true gem of a vacation rental!!
This place was one of the best vacation spots I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. We didn't want to leave. Every part of this place spared no detail. The host went above and beyond and we truly cannot wait to come back and visit. Do yourself a favor and stay here. We can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Duncan

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Vicki. I'm the co-owner of Duncan Properties of Tampa Bay and work closely with my youngest son renovating individual homes and vacation rental properties. We manage them personally as well and love providing our guests with beautiful and relaxing places to getaway with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

I love this neighborhood! Its the perfect mix of lovely homes, kind neighbors and privacy. What's also great is that it is very close to all of Crystal River's popular attractions and water activities. It is also a great neighborhood to go for a morning walk or run.

What makes this property unique

This property is serene and fun! It is located on a quiet, wildlife-filled canal just off of Kings Bay. We have a new boat slip and kayak ramp making it easy to visit your favorite springs and not too far to get out to the gulf for deep sea fishing. Our property has a privacy fence on both sides to enjoy your cookout, games or firepit with family.
