I will start off by saying, read the other reviews of the property! Pete was quick to blame the other renters for their experience, so I wanted to give him and the property a chance and go in with an open mind. Prior to our arrival, I asked Pete if we could have two boat trailers at the house because in the “rules” it says 4 vehicles. So I took that as 4 vehicles. He informed me that actually means a truck and trailer are considered 2 vehicles. There is contradicting information in the rules about boat length and many other things.
I told Pete ahead of time that we were going to have people (one of the children included) staying in the lower room and asked if he could please have the AC turned on ahead of time so the room could “air out”. He did have the window unit on when we arrived but the room was TERRIBLY musty. Our friends said the window unit turned off about every 45 minutes and they had to continually turn it back on all night. The upstairs was so dirty I went to the store and bought cleaning stuff to clean the entire house. Pete is going to say that I never contacted him or the cleaning company about the house being dirty. But I wasn’t about to call him or the cleaning company to come clean the house that was supposed to already be clean. At that point I would rather do it myself so it is done and we can start enjoying our vacation. Honestly I don’t think anyone had even been there to clean prior to our arrival. All of the negative reviews are accurate!

We had a wonderful stay. The only thing that we didn't like was the owner had the thermostat on a remote nest. He controlled whether we had heat or air in the house. He said to call or email us when we needed it changed. When we woke up in the AM and needed it changed we called him and then he complained we woke his family up.

The place was overall musty and unclean . There was zero extra sheets or blankets . The owner of the home was rude and not helpful .. he said the room downstairs hadn’t
Been opened for a month and asked me to open it when I got there to air it out .. I did .. it didn’t help . My adult children stayed in there the first night and had to take the sheets off because they said there was con webs in the corners . Luckily they brought a blanket .. we remitted the place to have our who’s family together for Christmas.. we checked out at noon Christmas Eve because they couldn’t sleep another night in there . It sucked !!!! Merry Christmas

Perfect for our two family getaway with kids and our four legged friends. We were able to bring our own boat and took advantage of the kayaks as well. Close to everything, yet private and woodsy.

First impression was open and nice. Upon settling in we realized the bedrooms have no place to put your clothes. We rented the house for 10 days. One luggage rack for each of the 2 bedrooms. NO dresser in either bedroom, so your clothes lived in a suitcase on the floor. One bed in the second bedroom had a 2x4 supporting it. Tile and grout needed a deep cleaning, We were a group of 7 adults there were 2 wine glasses, the 4 large coffee mugs had cracks and chips in them, and 2 bowls for food preparation. Little black bugs along the wall/ceiling areas which indicates the house was not properly cleaned before our arrival. This area is nice and is around the wetlands so bugs are expected. The deck has rotten areas in it and the downstairs bedroom is diffently musty. The house is in need of TLC. The second bedroom has a piece of laminate flooring missing and the threshold wouldn't stay in place. There was only one medium sized tv, but the internet and cable worked fine. If these areas were addressed it would be a great place for a group. We were a party of 2 families with grown children now who do scalloping every year for at least 15 years. The house was big enough for everyone to be together as well as able to spread out. Boaters be aware the house is located in an area where the marinas will not allow you to rent a boat and keep it at the house. I wrote this review so you would address and hopefully fix the issues because this house has potential.

we did enjoy our stay and the property, quick and easy to get to the gulf or springs if you are some what knowledgeable about the area and understand tides and oyster bars, we left one of our vehicles downtown on Citrus street for 3 days in lieu of trying to pay to park at some other location, we did not know this was an option but one of the park employees said this is what a lot of people do?? we would recommend this house to others, items of concern were the yard was very high, dishes were not cleaned, used wash cloths/towels still in shower, sheets on the hide a bed had not been cleaned, wet sheets were still in dryer, dirty dishwasher, need to check for a leak under the kitchen sink, bags of trash were left in the yard by others previously. down stairs room and toilet had not been cleaned at all.

This was our first visit to the Crystal River area, so we weren't well versed in this location. The home is quite a drive from town. There is nothing in walking distance. If you like calm, quiet, and peace it is a good location. If you have your own boats, you will enjoy also. The neighborhood is very quiet. The trees are very pretty. The home is large and comfortable for a big family. I liked the big kitchen, but it was missing a lot of basic kitchen items (like pit holders, etc)
Like others, we would not recommend anybody sleep in the 3rd bedroom. It is in the garage and has separate entrance to the home. It is very musty. The kayaks are hard to use, and there isn't any maps to show you how to get out of the canal waters. It is not the nicest vrbo home I have stayed in. It is lacking a lot of quality touches other homes have had. The beds and pillows are uncomfortable and there will be nowhere to put your clothes. You will have to live out of the suitcase.
We appreciated the laundry facilities as we spent a lot of time at the beach at the end of the road. The deck was starting to feel a little rickety also. It was fine for our stay and peaceful, but pricey for what it actually offers. I am only comparing to other places that provide little things that always make the stay more personable and cozy.

What a great place. We had 3 couples and there was a perfect amount of room. Very easy to get to and easy to get to attractions from as well. Our dogs stayed and there was a lot of outdoor space for all of us. We cooked all of our meals there, basic utensils supplied, if you are a chef you may want to bring your favorite tools. Sunsets were gorgeous and the weekend was relaxing. Great place for a quiet get away.

The “bedroom” downstairs is not attached to the main house. It looks like someone poorly converted a garage into a bedroom. The room smelled and we found mildew and mold. The rest of the house is great. We loved the location and Crystal River.

Enjoyed our stay during Christmas. The house is spacious with large open plan living room + kitchen. Easy check-in and check-out. The host is responsive and helpful. The closest public ramp, Ft Island Trail park is about 6 min from the house. Two large stores, Publix and Walmart about 25 min drive. The 3 Sisters and Hunters Spring park about 15 min drive. Great location, remote but close to town. We had fun swimming with manatees, temperatures dropped so there were plenty of them in the water. Boaters do your research! Salt River is full of shallow places and oyster bars, not the easiest river to navigate. Would stay here again :)

This is a nice place that offers a great blend of quiet (lovely bird sounds), waterfront views AND yet conveniently close enough to Manatee tours, fishing, scalloping, , grocery or hiking trails (i.e. 7 Mile Loop Trailhead Crystal River Preserve State Park). The kitchen is well stocked with coffee maker, can and wine bottle openers, pans, plenty of plates, glassware and cutlery. Some very large closets are available and nice views from the wrap around deck. The check in and communication with property manager was efficient and super easy. I reached out once on site a few times and he was very responsive. Very little light pollution so on clear nights you can see loads of stars. You will enjoy your stay here.

The owner went above and beyond to accommodate our family. The house had everything we needed. There are 2 rooms on the second floor that were comfortable. The room downstairs needs some updating. Kids enjoyed kayaking right outside the house. Good stay overall.
