An amazing property. Keep saying to my family this is a million dollar view. Andrew the owner is great and always available. Everything was absolutely perfect. You just don’t see Manatees, we had a dolphin come right up to us on the property and it winked at my entire family. Thank you Andrew for a great experience my only regret that it was too short.

Great place!

We traveled to Crystal River with 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 4-9). We loved the property - very convenient to so many attractions, nice pool (heated enough to swim in January!), comfortable beds, and kayaks/paddleboards to play on. Would be happy to come back!

Amazing house!

Beautiful and comfortable place. The owner was extremely communicative and helpful. He gave us a late check out with having to ask for it which really helped not feel rushed trying to get everything loaded up and get the boat out of the water. Highly recommend staying here!

Very clean, great location!

The house was just as advertised, was very clean and the view is absolutely gorgeous! We saw at least 10 manatees right off the back dock! The kayaks were a great way to explore the water and the nearby area. The host and property manager were both very attentive, helpful and responsive. Overall a great visit!

Wonderful Home!! A++++

We needed to stay in Crystal River for a family emergency. Andrew was FANTASTIC! He let us in very late at night, even went to the store for us! The pictures don't do the home justice. We had wonderful evening sitting out on the back deck, wonderful kayak rides. The sunsets were spectacular! It was a great place to just sit and relax. Can't say enough great things about Andrew. I highly recommend this place. We will be back.

July 4th scalloping trip

We had a wonderful time. Denise, the property manager met us at the house and went over everything. Prior to check in, Jasmin was very responsive to my emails. We had a few small issues but it was handled promptly be Denise, and Andrew the home owner called me twice to touch base and say they were taken care of. Nice views, gorgeous sunsets, quiet neighborhood. We saw manatees off the dock and out in bay. Spacious home with plenty of parking out front. Would love to stay here again!
