CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tons of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If you want to kick back and relaxing by the pool, play with Manatees, take morning strolls along the river, kayak or limit out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. Our upscale neighborhood consists of several small islands just off the main river. For kayakers, we are a 30-minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide two kayaks for your use and there are rental shops within a few miles of the home. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel or gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock that will accommodate two small boats or one large. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minutes of the house. By car, we are located just off Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

In 2025, our home received an extensive remodel after Hurricane Helene. We went for a fun, upbeat Boho Chic vibe with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of crimson and teal. The home is filled with artwork from the Crystal River area creating a unique perspective on coastal living. The home boasts four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and a Queen) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aid kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it, and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our vacation. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight-seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from your stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

The home was beautifully decorated and so clean! The layout of 2BR on each end was perfect and plenty of room in between. The updated kitchen was a dream and well equipped-we loved the dishes :)The kids loved the pool and we all spent a lot of time fishing on the dock and enjoying the view. What a great family vacation.!! The owner responded almost immediately with any small concerns that we had.

Making memories

Every year, we take a family vacation over Memorial Day weekend in CR, this was our first time staying in this home. It offered a lovely setting alongside beautiful scenery.This vacation felt well-deserved after the kids had a great year at school and provided us with valuable time to relax and bond as a family. We look forward to creating many more memories during future stays.

The view is perfect. Deep water lagoon is great for fishing off the dock.

Beds were very comfortable, the pool was a great touch. The location is quiet but easily accessible to town. Very easy for our fishing guide to pick us up right off the dock since it’s so close to King’s bay.
