Fantastic Waterfront Home Great for Relaxing, Scalloping, Fishing & Kayaking!!!

This is a newly remodeled beautiful house with a well-manicured lawn with 145' of seawall on a navigable canal for bay boats, and shallow water drafting vessels with no obstructions and no low overhead bridges that leads to the Gulf of Mexico and Kings Bay via Crystal River. Excellent location in Crystal River Preserve State Park just off Fort Island Trail that is a short boat ride to scallop waters, world-famous flats fishing and numerous world-famous freshwater springs. Enjoy kayaking (4 kayaks provided including two 2-person kayaks), swimming with the manatees, fishing, exploring, wildlife viewing, snorkeling and diving. We have caught snook, snapper, trout and small tarpon and numerous other species of fish on our seawall and floating dock. A biking and walking trail are less than a quarter mile away. The only beach in the area is just a 5-minute drive. This vacation house has a brand-new fully equipped kitchen (granite tops), and a remodeled bathrooms. The home is built with a split floor plan, the master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a comfortable king-size bed & the second bedroom has two bunk beds (great for the kids), the top bunks are twin-size with full-size bottom bunks suitable for adults. The home sleeps 6 comfortably. The central air conditioning is new and keeps the house very cool in the summer months. The living room has a brand new 65' HD TV (numerous movies, music and tv stations including Net Flix, Amazon, FUBO with local and national stations) and a bumper pool/card table. We also offer high speed internet/WIFI. Enjoy a large screened-in back porch with a tiki-bar, rope-lighting for a great ambience at night with very comfortable newer outdoor furniture and a gas-grill. Spend your evenings around the fire pit with plenty of chairs for all to enjoy. Floating dock for your boat including filet board, electric and fresh water, the boat ramp is just minutes away. We provide a Keurig Coffee Maker stocked with a variety of individual coffees, teas, sugar and creamers for your enjoyment. Also, we have a brand-new washer and dryer for your convenience. Your enjoyment is our mission, feel free to reach out with any questions.

Beautiful house, end of canal setting, and owner was very nice and accessible. Would stay here again. One caveat, water access to Crystal River gets a very skinny at low tide, so pay close attention to local tides and think ahead. Immaculate house, great dock, and tiki bar to boot. My family and I had a great time!!!

House was immaculate. Close to the springs and to the gulf. Boat access was everything we hoped for, boat ramp right up the road. Steve is awesome to deal with very easy to communicate with and helpful. Will be back!

This home was everything we needed and more! It has a spacious layout with 2 bedrooms and 2 dining areas, which is ample space to accommodate meals and workspace. The kitchen has a nicely stocked Keurig station, all the necessary items to cook and serving trays. The outdoor area was so special! Lots of tropical seating and a tiki bar. What fun!! We docked our boat in the back and it was a quick trip to the marina for ice, fuel and scalloping. Also, it was very very clean! Quiet neighborhood. Definitely a great place to stay.

We stayed for 3 weeks in February of 2019. It is a very clean nicely remodeled home on a canal. The location is perfect, very quiet but still only a few minutes from everything Crystal River has to offer. The screened in porch is a great place to drink coffee and watch the sunrise or toast the sunset. Porch also has a large gas grill. Our 12 year old caught very nice snook casting off the dock. We will definitely rent this house again on a future trip.

We had an extended weekend of scalloping and fishing. The dock for the boat had power and water. The canal was a little sketchy at low tide but we were able to get our 25 foot bay boat in and out without difficulty. The house was well-equipped and clean from the propane barbecue, screened in patio, kitchen, bumper pool table, bedrooms and bathrooms, to the location close to the mouth of the river. It was an awesome trip. We will be back next year.

The home was very clean and well appointed. Loved the screened in porch. I still had to work remotely so the porch was a lovely spot to work from. Coffee bar with Keurig and coffees was a nice touch. Home comes with kayaks but unfortunately was too windy and cold. Great location - close to Fort Island Gulf Beach, Crystal River Archaeological Park, Three Sisters Springs , Heritage Village, restaurants and grocery. High speed WiFi was great for work and our college student who was doing online classes and movies at night.

The best rental! Everything was perfect and very comfortable. The owners have thought of everything a guest could possibly need. The linens and towels were so fresh, the kitchen had so many extras, and our favorite was the well stocked coffee bar. We also loved the fire pit that was ready to use when we arrived. Beds were very comfortable too. Great options on television programming. The owner is so helpful and quick to answer any questions. This house is perfect for a family with plenty of room. We also enjoyed the kayaks that were provided and the location was great. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I took our kids and their friend scalloping. Upon arriving kids were excited to see they had bunk beds, tiki hut to play restaurant and ran out to look in canal. The house was very clean and roomy. We brought our boat had plenty of room to park trailer. Would defiantly recommend this house for a family or a group. The owner was easy to get ahold of and answered a few questions we had promptly. Would definitely stay there again. The only thing I would look into before you bring a boat would be the tide schedule. It is not a deep canal and we left on high tide and also waited for high tide to return. We had a great time!!

This beautifully remodeled home had everything thing you could possibly want for a vacation in the Crystal river area. It was obvious that the owners put a lot of time and attention into creating a peaceful, inviting home with so much attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean to boot! We pulled our boat, put it in at a ramp very close by and kept it docked on the canal in the back yard. From there it was a short canal ride out to the river where you can go to the gulf for scalloping or back up river a short boat trip to a few restaurants or the Three Sisters Springs. It is also a great base location if you want to explore other places nearby like the Rainbow River and Devil's Den spring. The owner was extremely helpful in providing local information that made our stay more enjoyable. This one is a hidden Gem. Our best VRBO rental yet!

Great house and property with direct access to the river. Very accommodating for our family of four. We could of added a few more of the kids friends- there was plenty of room. Highly recommend!

We stayed for 5 days over July 4th weekend- house was very clean and well appointed as represented on VRBO. Only negative - canal is shared with Encore campground that has lots of docks/boats. Getting the boat out of the canal to Crystal River channel, especially during busy holiday weekend, was worrisome. Lots of boat traffic in canal. Thankfully we had a good captain!! Overall a great time! Would rent again!

The rental process was very smooth and easy. The owner was very attentive to any comments or issues we had. The property was well equipped. The location was ideal. We loved watching all the nature on the canal. Loved the proximity to Fort Island Beach, hiking trails, and biking trails. It felt like a home, not a rental.

We enjoyed the property as it was one of the cleanest VRBO rentals we have ever stayed at. Dock accommodates a 24’ boat nicely. Water on the dock and the fish cleaning table came in handy. Overall nice place.

We rented this property with our kids to take a weekend fishing trip. The house was clean and comfortable. The fish cleaning station was helpful at the end of the day and ride out to the bay was short. The tide was really low one day so that was a very slow careful ride back in so just keep that in mind if you have a boat that needs depth. We have a 25’ off shore, I’m sure the bay boats and pontoons would be just fine. Not a complaint just a helpful point that may help another guest. The kitchen had all the needed necessities and the coffee station was a great bonus . Thanks for having us at your home!

We were very satisfied with the house. We docked our 25 ft with twims and had no problems getting in and out. Very peaceful n relaxing place. We got to swim with manatees. It is a easy run to scallop and to the springs. Hope to return. We had an amazing time.
