Manatee Heaven

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 location for boaters

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!

Awesome place to stay!

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!

Christmas in Crystal River

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Donavan Konkler

Host profile image
John and Leonette live in Brooksville Florida (about a 40 minute drive from the property). Leonette is a retired teacher, John is a retired banker. We have owned a vacation home in Crystal River since 1999. We love the area.

Why they chose this property

This property is spacious, clean and very relaxing. The backyard setting with the screen porch that includes comfortable seating and a spa is second to none. Single story, no stairways. Everything is ground level for easy access.

What makes this property unique

Great area for outdoor activities including biking and kayaking. A floating dock allows for boat mooring and kayak launching. Inside is pleasant and includes a bumper pool table and seating for 10 at a farm table. Also, bar seating for four overlooking the kitchen and living area is included. There’s lots and lots of room.
