Beautiful home/Excellent Location
We had a wonderful week at Gunters Paradise! The home is beautiful and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The house is in a quiet area, but close to everything you need. Lovely views!

A rough start...... but a nice visit
Had some initial problems with a broken dishwasher, garbage disposal, and coffee maker, some things likely the result of post-hurricane damage. To Frank's credit, he was responsive and replaced these items, and addressed our concerns right away..... appreciated. We thought a Guest book is needed, explaining for example, how the tv works, check-out procedures, etc. The house sits on a lovely lot, tho the house inside is some dated, and in need of some attention. Overall, a nice visit, in a great part of Florida.

Truly Paradise
Gunther’s was beautiful, spacious, and overall very clean. The dock was perfect, the outdoor space was very nice as well. The pool needed a good scrub and cleaning, but overall the stay was worth it.

Not newly renovated
The home’s location is the absolute best and we stayed here last year for that reason. However, there are things around the house still broken and worn out from last year (the outdoor shower is worn out, the outside gazebo is still missing a roof, the water faucets throw water out, the wine cooler is broken, the pool tiles are still gross and the pool is cloudy, still cinderblocks in the closet from last year, etc.). There’s just a lack of care in the home and you can tell this house is just a money making side gig. The sheets aren’t even cotton (polyester). For the price, it’s sub par. We won’t stay again.

We rented the property for 35 days and have alraedy revnted again next year. This was our first year renting in Crystal river. The past 10 years we went to the Keys for for memorial day and early June. We have rented many places over the years but my husband I agreed this was the most comfortable and the view and location are perfect. Frank was responsive and helpful. The kitchen is well stocked and appliances are all new. No bad comments.
