Beautiful 3-2 Waterfront Home Solar Pool
This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath canal front home which is perfect for a family getaway. It sleeps 10 people at an affordable price with lots of amenities to make you feel more like our house guests than vacation renters!
The house has an open concept kitchen, dining room and sunken living room. The kitchen is fully stocked so plan to make some great meals to eat at the large dining room table, the breakfast nook or poolside. If you prefer to grill, the “grill master” can choose to use the large flat top gas grill or the smaller charcoal grill.
There is a split bedroom arrangement. The master bedroom has a king size bed and sliding glass doors leading to the pool. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third has a bunk bed with a full mattress on the bottom and a twin mattress on the top. There is a full mattress under the bed that can be pulled out if needed. The closet is stocked with toys and games so we like to call this the “kids room.”
The private solar heated pool (chilly during winter months) is enclosed by a spacious lanai with ample seating for the whole family to eat, sunbathe, watch the kids swim or read a good book. If the night is a little chilly you can sit by the fire in the separate outdoor patio.
After you launch your boat or jet ski from the public boat ramp across the street it’s only a short ride to the canal where you’ll find the dock with the small boat lift and jet ski floating dock. Fill your beverage & fish coolers with ice from our 250lb ice machine and you're on your way. Please note that the canal can get shallow during low tide but I was able to easily maneuver my 27’ boat to the deeper water.
Restaurants, shopping and the historical town are just a few minutes away. Crystal clear springs, nature trails and parks are close by for the outdoor lovers.
This is where you want to stay in the summertime for some great scalloping, the winter time to see the manatees and to escape the cold if you’re snowbirds and all year long for some phenomenal fishing!
Please contact me for long term rental and discount pricing depending on length of stay.

Perfect for a quick Thanksgiving with family. We loved the large open kitchen and convenient location. My husband enjoyed kayaking right from the backyard!
I can't think of a single thing that we could possibly have needed that wasn't there. We highly recommend Natures Discovery for Snorkeling with Manatees. The Buiscuit barn is a short bike ride away and the go-to breakfast spot you don't need to try another. For a fun afternoon or morning for 13 or less per person, try the Homosassa Spring State Park. It's a mini zoo with manatees, feedings, and education only about 16 miles from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
The Turtle House was a fantastic place to spend a week in Crystal River. The location was great. A couple minutes to everything in Crystal River and a 10-15 minute drive to Homosassa. The house itself had all of the amenities we needed. Was nicely decorated as well. We used the pool but it was a cooler week and the water was chilly but well taken care of. We will definitely stay here again if we are able to get back down there to snorkel with manatee again. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had for them. Thanks for a great trip.
We absolutely loved this house. It has everything you could possibly need. The open living room space that leads out to the pool and then the boat dock was so convenient….and the master bathroom shower, ummmm yes please! We frequently visit Crystal River and definitely plan on booking The Turtle house again!
We loved the house, pool, supplied, and truly enjoyed the little town. Was a great stay and our kids loved all the amenities. Would definitely recommend.
The house was terrific. Clean and homey. Kitchen was well stocked. The griddle/grill was fun to use and the Ice machine in the garage was perfect for icing down the cooler. The ramp to the boat dock was a bit steep for us old timers, so we put in and pulled out everyday at the extremely convenient boat ramp a couple of blocks away. We caught the cold weather, so no pool time for us, but we loved the 15 minute cruise to Crystal River and caught plenty of fish. We'll be back.
Very nice and comfortable home. The area offered mucho activities and amenities. In-between activities there was a pool and bikes to ride. I would like to visit again
Already planned vacation that happened to be right after milton. We decided to to go ahead and keep our vacation even though we lost electricity at our house and there was flooding going on. Glad we did it gave us a break from the stress of milton.and quality family time together. Looking forward to coming back under better circumstances.
Great place well equipped with plenty of towels dishes spices everything you really need for home away from home. Also The Kayaks were great everyone had a blast out on the water. The pool seems to have had a problem with a leak but it was very nice size. There were very friendly Neighbors.The Neighbors there are great and although we stayed during a hurricane we met them for a little while and they were absolutely friendly. I plan on staying here again. And the family really enjoyed it
We had a fantastic family vacation with our adult children. We took our boat which we were able to dock behind the house. It was nice just being able to hop in the boat and go. We caught lots of fish and ended our days swimming in the springs and or the nice refreshing pool!
Nice layout for family and friends.
Always an enjoyable stay, close to downtown. We had the pleasure of seeing a dolphin in the mouth of the canal.
Thank you
This is our third time staying at the turtle house. It was a wonderful trip just as the others have been. The house is wonderfully located to town, restaurants, and grocery stores. Plenty of space for our family with grandparents and three kids under 4. The house has everything you need for a perfect family vacation. The host response time is unparalleled. We will be returning again
Excellent property that was well maintained. The commercial Ice machine was awesome as well as having an additional garage refrigerator. Great deep water access with quick trip out to offshore. Stayed in a 26' cc cat with no problems but it would be tough with a boat any larger. Weather was rough but the fishing the house were great.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turtle House. It’s conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped and there were plenty of herbs and spices available if you’re inclined to cook. Also, if you forget to bring your own, coffee was available until you can get to the store.
It was obvious that many homes and businesses had suffered considerable damage from Helene. It was heartbreaking to see Crystal River in such a situation but we were glad to be able to enjoy the beautiful fall weather at this rental!
The Turtle house did not disappoint. We have stayed a few times. Lots to do in the area. We always bring our paddleboards to use in the canal and at the various springs.
Scalloping was horrible but maybe next year will be better.
What an incredible time we had. My husband and I are local and my brother and sister in law came in town and our trip and our stay at your place made them home sick all the more. Hot day of fishing then the pool for some drinks and family time. Doesn’t get much better than that !!! Thank you !
