We had a wonderful stay and this has been our favorite trip by far! We took our bikes to a great fishing hole close to the house, took a short drive to fort island beach to play in the water, rented a boat for the day, kayaked up and down the river, played in the hot tub, and shopped in town. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating! Great stay!
Great house in a great location for anything boating. Easy access to kings bay, springs, sandbars and scalloping.
The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The host was easy to communicate with and was prompt to address any questions we had.
We look forward to visiting again soon!
Our family had so much fun! This house has ample amount of room, great for boating and hanging out. The owner was very responsive and answered all my questions.
Everything we could have asked for on this scalloping and fishing adventure with the grandkids. Public boat launch just down the road, easy access from the dock to the gulf, bait shop just up the road. Grocery stores and great food within minutes of the house. We grilled fish and scallops, kids even caught redfish in the canal between trips. Definitely recommend and plan to visit again!
Very nice homey house. Central location. Boat ramp 1 mile away. Easy access out to gulf and scalloping. Easy access to kings bay. Host excellent communication and accommodations. Will definitely stay again.
Well maintained and beautifully decorated home. Our family enjoyed all the amenities from the large open kitchen and living area, comfortable bedrooms, to the hot tub, dock and even the games. They have definitely spent the time to make sure everything is covered. Communication is prompt and even had excellent recommendations for the area. We had an excellent vacation and their home definitely made it complete.
This property was well appointed, clean, and was close to lots of activities. The host was fabulous and communicated well. We have property rentals ourselves, and this one was top notch!
This house was the perfect place to call home over our holiday. Spacious, relaxing, clean, plenty to keep the teens busy, loved using the kayaks and seeing manatees and dolphins on the river. We did a little fishing, used the hot tub most mornings and nights and enjoyed bird watching from the screen porch. If we visit the area again I would definitely stay here.
We had 3 couples..very roomy house..great location..dock at the house was very convenient..
comfortable beds..nice jacuzzi..
HUGE kitchen table..Would definitely stay here again😊
Great stay with a great location! We went scalloping and spent a day at the springs. Great open concept and perfect for the 3 adult couples in our party.
We stayed for our annual scalloping vacation and the house had everything we needed and more. Neighbors were wonderful, our kids made a new friend :) we brought our 27ft boat and had no problem docking or getting out of the canal. We would love to stay again!
My wife and I loved our stay. We appreciated all of the thoughtful decor- which focused on the local aquatic life (manatees specifically). We made good use of the provided kayaks and hot tub. Would highly recommend.
This home is clean and spacious and it's in a good location for activities in Crystal River. We enjoyed the hot tub and kayaking in the canal. Thank you!
This property is beautifully decorated. Very homey. Plenty of space and thegames were a hit with my crew.
