About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Million Dollar view on the Main River! No Canal.

A lovely, ground-level, 4 bed/3 full bath, single-story home. The perfect river location with a million-dollar view – one of the best in Crystal River. This home has been recently renovated and sports a new lanai, fire pit, and dock. The “bunk room” has two sets of sturdy bunk beds (both twin over full) making this house a great option for families with kids. Two boats can be moored at the sea wall and there’s a long driveway for plenty of trailer parking. For more fun on the water, 2 kayaks and a stand-up paddle board are included with your stay. As the moonlight spills over the bay, make magic as you turn firewood into memories in the flicker of a campfire – the perfect end to a perfect day. Giant Jenga and board games will keep your indoor time lively and a growing book collection awaits bookworms.
Please know that outdoor security cameras are in use at this property

A note from the owner:
Thanks for considering being our guests. Part of our joy in being stewards of this fun property is sharing it with others.

These policies exist to ensure that we can share this house with good folks like you for as long as we’d like. If your name is on the credit card used for the deposit, make sure your guests know the rules, too. Fun is absolutely encouraged - but abuse of our neighbors and/or the property is not allowed.

5. We provide kayaks and a paddleboard, a dock, a fire pit and a lovely house. Please care for them like they’re your own. We understand things get worn when used, but please don’t abuse.

Our family came together for a three night getaway and this home was the perfect location for us. We especially enjoyed the spacious kitchen and ample seating to sit and enjoy meals together. Outdoors, we enjoyed the sunsets, fire pit, and lots of fishing right from the backyard! This home is so clean, the beds are comfortable, and the location is peaceful. The owner is easy to communicate with and worked so hard to have this property ready for us. We are grateful for the hospitality!

Gorgeous Waterfront Property
The view was amazing and house was perfect for a large family group. The backyard was great and had plenty of room for the two boats we brought. The proponerte was very clean and had lots of essentials (tp, garbage bags, dishwasher tabs, etc) The neighbor Russell was also very friendly and helpful and gave us the insight on where to find the scallops on our second day. We loved it and will visit again.

Great place to stay…
This is an excellent place for those that love being waterfront and in a home that has ample room for a large family. From easy access to the Gulf for fishing to paddle boarding and fishing off the dock, our family had a great time. The whole process was easy and the communication with the home owner was very easy and accommodative. We will definitely visit again.

Unbeatable location and great for couples and/or families!
Truly the most magical view in Crystal River! We thoroughly enjoy our stay, despite some AC issues early on (July in Florida, whew!) The host said they were waiting on a part to arrive and coached us on how to fixed the AC when it would shut off. Very comfortable, although they should provide more bath towels and better pots/pans etc options. The place was clean and the neighborhood quiet at night. We docked 2 boats with ease, 23’ and 22’ bay boats. We brought additional bumpers as suggested by previous renters, which worked out great. The home had recently changed hands just before we occupied and I suspect the few issues we had were the result of the transition. We take an annual scalloping trip to Crystal River and if we weren’t adding 2 more people to future trips, we’d absolutely stay here again!

Comfortable accommodations for our family
The house is perfectly laid out with plenty of beds for Our family. The kitchen is open and the table seats 8 so we could all eat together. We brought our 22ft boat, launching at Pete’s Pier. The location on the river provides easy access to the springs, kings bay, and the gulf. The kids fished off the seawall and dock every morning and every evening. The no see ums are relentless this time of year at sun rise and sunset so bring bug spray. We slept in the master king bed and it is comfortable, nobody complained about the beds. We used the kayaks and paddle board mostly right in the cove and saw manatees daily. Nightly fires and roasting marshmallows sealed the memories!

Really nice view
Pros Great house lots of room . Great view of the river. We saw a few manities while sitting on the shoreline. Neighbors were friendly. Really nice location! Plenty of storage in the kitchen! Cons There are no hangars in the house so we had to live out of our suitcases it was not too bad of an issue because we were only there for 3 days. The bedroom with bunk beds only sleeps kids or short adults. That was an issue! My son & his wife had to go rent a room @ the nearest hotel due to their feet hanging over the ends of the bunk beds! I would list the house as sleeps 6 adults 2 to 4 kids depending on the kids size. The king size bed in the primary bedroom was too hard it needs a pillow topper! I had to go sleep with my grandson in the bunk room! I am short so I fit in that bed. If I owned a rental in a tropical location I would check the house for bugs. After all it is FL! I found 2 dead bugs in the front closet when I was looking for an iron & ironing board btw .which I never found an iron & ironing board. It is good they were dead but if someone checked before guest arrive the guest wouldn’t even know their was an issue. This is not the 1st time this has happened to me in FL. Like I said it is FL. The place was very clean otherwise. The kitchen smelled like bleach when we arrived so I believe it was sanitized. They could have used a lot more towels. I also told them that the ladder coming out of the river is loose & should be fixed. I would definetly stay again but I hope they get a pillow topper for that king size bed & some hangars. Oh and a pancake flipper & wine opener. The property manger was very attentive when I texted her about not having enough life jackets there she showed up quickly with a bunch of them. Kids loved the knacks!
