Had an amazing time in Crystal River! House was perfect size for our family of 4. Owner was very gracious and helpful with any needs or questions we had. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay for the start of scallop season at the Manatee House! We found the property and accommodations to be just as described start to finish! Dawn, the host, was a great communicator throughout our stay, which was particularly helpful as we happened to have a hurricane blow through during our stay! The beds were comfortable, the dock was spacious and the kids (ok, adults too) loved the pool/hot tub! We really appreciated the bonus space the house had to offer with the screened in garage. We had a fantastic stay and are already talking about when we can go back!

The house was perfect. It had everything we needed and was very clean!! We will be back! Thank you for everything!!

This is an incredible location, and is kept up very well. Cannot be beat. We will be back again for sure!

Top level: We would absolutely stay here again and we had a fantastic time. The house was well appointed--great features, great furnishings, and great layout. There were a couple of things that weren't ideal. The hot tub was not working when we stayed so that was a big disappointment. Also the fire pit/coffee table on the porch doesn't work so it's only the regular one in the back yard (however they had that one all set up with wood for us in advance which was so awesome!). And I will say the cameras were a little off-putting. They are not upstairs and I appreciated the ones pointing to the driveway and the dock, but there was one pointing at the pool and then also one pointed at the downstairs sitting area in the garage space. Both of those felt strange, having cameras on my family as we played in the pool and watched TV in that space. Outside of those, I have nothing else I could find fault with. Dawn was a pleasure to work with. They left flowers and chocolate for us on arrival (we stayed over Easter). The house was very clean and everything worked like the sinks, showers, washer/dryer, recliner, etc. The pool was AWESOME and my kids still ask if we can go back to Crystal River and "the pool house." We also enjoyed having the kayak available for use so that was much appreciated. I really can't say enough good things about our trip. I highly recommend this place and very much hope to come back!.

This house was perfectly appointed for renters. The location made for easy access to the springs or the gulf. The property manager was friendly, attentive and accessible. Overall this property suited our needs perfectly. I would highly recommend it.

The property is exactly as described. Our grandsons got to see an alligator and lots of little 🦀. We had a great time at the Fort Island Beach and also got some Redfishing in. The springs were very pretty although very busy on the weekend. Had a great time visiting the shops in downtown Crystal River with my daughter in-law and going to the Cattle Dog for great Lattes and lunch. Don't miss out on going to the Seafood Cellar and Cafe for at least one meal; great seafood and service!

Owners did not tell us we were not allowed to have 2 boats before booking the place (even though dock is big enough for 2 boats). Owners kept our full deposit, I would not recommend renting this place.
