One of the most popular homes in CR! Deep Water Canal, Dock
About this house rental
Nestled in Crystal River, this lovely house for £349 per night is a great option for your next break. One of the best houses on the river for relaxing or scalloping. You get the entire house to yourselves. You also get use of your own dock that can fit 2 boats. Peaceful and quiet with none of the boat traffic of Kings Bay. Tile floors throughout the entire home. Key West style home located halfway between the Gulf and Kings Bay. Located on a quiet, dead end street on the deepest canal in Crystal River. NO BRIDGES TO AND FROM THE HOUSE TO THE GULF. Because it's a dead end canal and not on the main river, there's very little boat traffic compared to the busy areas which allow for a more peaceful vacation. Easy to bring your power or sailboat right up to the dock. Less than 2 miles to nearest boat ramp. With quick access to the Gulf, it's the ideal location for fishing and scalloping! This house is located on the deepest canal with no bridges to go under, making this one of the only homes on Crystal River that you don't have to worry about the tides to make it back after being out on the river. It is also the perfect location for watching Manatees, visiting Three Sisters Spring, or just relaxing on one of the large, breezy balconies. Minutes from Plantation Golf Club. Has large dock and two kayaks so you can leave right from the house. House is a two bedroom (king and queen, brand new furniture), two bathroom, with a day bed and trundle (both twin beds) in a crow's nest with 360 degree views of the area. Must use the spiral staircase to access the crow's nest, may be challenging for some guests with mobility issues. Tile Floors throughout ensure cleanliness and easy cleaning. Two large balconies, one on the East and one on the West, allow for great views of the Sunrise and Sunset. BBQ on the grill. All living space is upstairs on the second floor.

Enjoyed the location and place in general. Very quiet and peaceful canal site. Colder than we were anticipating to really enjoy the water access/kayaks etc. Would love to come back in warmer weather to get that more from that aspect. Didn’t have a storm to get the full Crow’s Nest experience, but was an interesting space that was an added bonus. Only negative was the internet dropping out the first couple days, but got it fixed with a new router after a service call. Easy in’s/out’s. Nice place. Recommended!

This place is amazing. It sets right on the canal with it's own private dock (bring your boat). And it's only a couple of hundred yards down the canal to get to the main river, giving you access to the gulf and Kings Bay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and Winn-Dixie is nearby. If you book this property, don't miss the sunrises and sunsets from the cupola. Beautiful, Beautiful. This place checks all the boxes for an amazing getaway. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful vacation in Crystal River and absolutely loved the house. The house was very clean and the location was amazing, right on a large canal! Our 28 foot boat fit perfectly on the dock and it was easy to get to the scallop grounds from the house! We will definitely come back!

We loved this property and the location is close to the river and gulf. Easy in and easy out. Close to the ramp. Only recommendation is the house is really a 2 bed /2 bath. The Widows peak is difficult to climp the spiral staircase as it is steep, . So for us no one could sleep there. But if you do not need the 3rd bedroom the place is amazing.

This is our 2nd stay in this house. Love the decks. Coffee over looking the marsh in the morning on the east side, cool breezes in the afternoon on the west side. The bed is extremely comfortable, as is the whole house. Short ride or bike to town.

The property is exactly as pictured. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The location is great for fishing, biking and hiking.
We were there for 4 days and were so busy, we didn't have time to use the kayaks or the grill. Lots of fun restaurants.

The house was great, we had four adults and two kids, plenty of space, both the patios in the front and back are so nice and relaxing, very quiet neighborhood, great views, the house is centrally located near everything, what more do you need when you visit Crystal River!? Highly recommend . Plus we had one issue with the TV and the owner came out within a few hours to fix everything so they were very responsive and helpful, we will definitely stay here again!

We had perfect weather and got good use of the dock for our boat. A bit noisy with construction across the canal and barking dogs but nothing management could control.

Pros…
Nice area and layout, quiet neighborhood, generally clean with a few exceptions
Cons…
- 4 invasive cameras are set up to spy on you. 2 cameras on the front deck and 2 on the back deck. We found this extremely uncomfortable and compromised our privacy, especially since most of our time there was out on the decks where they could listen, watch and record our every move and word. For this reason we wouldn’t stay here again.
- Game room/ basement had doggie doo doo - which we cleaned up (shame on previous guest and housekeeping) this space was basically unwelcoming
- one of the 2 kayaks was broken/unusable… we had to rent one
- bed frames were extremely noisy and disruptive with every move, although mattresses were comfortable.
- no hair dryer, coffee or Kleenex supplied

My sister and I decided to take our mother on a girls trip after learning of her cancer diagnosis. This was a very peaceful location and just what we all needed. We enjoyed kayaking on the Crystal River - it was beautiful.

Gingers house is just as described. Great location for boating to scalloping and town. The house has plenty of room and a cute little bedroom on the 3rd floor. Great for the kids! The ground floor has a large room great for having out and storing all your boating and fishing supplies. 2 Kayaks are available for use too.

5 star experience for our first annual sibling vacation! The house was clean and beautiful, the location was absolutely perfect for scalloping and going to the springs. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked for all the yummy food we brought to cook up. The house was also spacious and everyone had plenty of space to spread out and relax on the decks upstairs and down. We will stay here again!

Property was very nice, everything advertised. Docking facility was great with boat ramp within 5 minutes. The air conditioning failed on Fathers Day, the management had it up and running by the afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property had been pressure washed and repainted since our last visit and was a noticeable improvement. There is construction going on across the canal but it really wasn’t a noise issue.

The house & location are super! Our only complaint was the windows were dirty & there was some mildew around a few windows. We came from a northern climate so seeing green scenery was important to us. We cleaned what we could & did let the property manager know for future reference.
We loved the location & the house & would stay there again in a heartbeat! Ginger was super sweet & accommodating. Wifi was a little spotty & she got that all fixed. We lost a little container of our son’s ashes which we like to sprinkle when we travel someplace special. They found it & mailed it back to us which was greatly appreciated.
Our kitty loved chasing the little lizards. The fencing was good so even a little pet could not get under. Our cat never tried to go over.
There are several dogs across the canal that barked at a few boats but mostly barked at the people in the road behind them. They didn’t notice but our kitty but might notice a dog. She loved the spiral staircase, it was a best “cat tower” ever!
Like many southern locations the “midges” would come out early morning & evening. There’s a deet-free product called Repel made from citris & eucalyptus which worked well keeping them off us while sitting outdoors at those times.
We highly recommend this rental & would go back in the future.

Our family went for a quick getaway. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed including a wine opener and pizza cutter. We loved the access to the kayaks. We had a few questions and were able to receive the answers in a very timely manner.
The nest was for the teenagers and be prepared to only take small bags up the spiral staircase. The WIFI worked well for all of us. :-) Just what we needed!
