This was a GREAT little place right outside of Crystal River. The host was very nice and helpful. The house was super clean and had everything that the 5 of us needed. Loved hanging out on the screened-in porch at night and looking up at all the stars! Lovely water views. We didn't have a boat but I can see how great it would be for people that did bring a boat. We really enjoyed Pecks Old Port Cove for dinner one evening. Amazing service and very good food and drinks!And I highly recommend River Ventures for their Manatee tour. Five stars all the way for this trip!

Waterman’s dream stay

This place is super comfortable and well taken care of inside and out. The neighbors are very friendly and we’re super helpful. Our stay wasn’t long but I would come back with a shallow boat and stay for a week if I could, fishing the mangroves and exploring the area. My wife loved the sun room it was such a cool experience looking out over the mangroves in the morning and at night.

Great stay near Homassaso Spr

We had a lovely time at this VRB property. It is located right on the water with a dock and kayaks. My daughters enjoyed the kayaks and my grandchildren enjoyed playing in the large yard. One of the highlights was sitting around the fire pit, making S'Mores. The house was spotless and there was everything you need for a nice stay. I highly recommend this home.
